the damage from 1 excel error can be so risky that its better for the company to pay a person to do the entire thing manually and derisk. infuriating from the perspective of technics, but not from that of incerto
ya but vegetable oil and corn fructose syrup did not exist >100 years ago as food products. we cook our food in wat used to be called boat varnish (vegetable oil)
yes you are correct, our genes are what determines weight in realtion to the foods you eat. it affects your bodies ability to metabolise those foods , etc
but most of the foods you eat, over 90% of what is available in walmart for instance, is industrial manufactured trash that no human except perhaps escaped roswell experiemnts and MBAs can metabolise correctly
this is compounded by modern trash propaganda telling people not to eat meat, to replace meat with synthetic mineral oils and watered down oats for $500 a litre
> ya but vegetable oil and corn fructose syrup did not exist 100 years ago
They absolutely did, from about the 1870's onward. Read about Harvey Washington Wiley. Modern food isn't a paragon of health, but for most non-rural people in the US, it was quite a bit worse from the 1870's to the 1910's.
From that last one, they talk about a lot of honey simply being flavored corn syrup. There was swill milk. They put all sorts of weird conservatives into food before Wiley's Poison Squad determined what was safe.
>Why don't you want to update? You really should.
sorry guys i cant export that report for this mornings meeting for another 45 minutes as the copy of that proprietary software we're required to use by regulations in this country is... on the windows computer that has decided to update
>How do you define absurd UIs?
have you ever tried using windows 10 control panel?
>It's a bit annoying and philosophically not a great thing, but you can disable 99% of their telemetry in about 15 minutes.
I grew up on windows and dont know how to program, and even I am dumping windows for ubuntu or osx (+ windows running in a vm for legacy software). windows is just trash. its pure trash. it has the worst user interface, the worst controls, lags, power issues, etc.
I would rather run a windows AWS instance accessed via a 4g ipad pro than continue using my pc workstation. its not good when people that dropped out of business degrees and cant program say that!
Well, is your PC workstation from your company? For various (many of them obsolete) reasons, companies load a ton of management crap on Windows systems. That software is not as available on MacOS, let alone Linux desktop, so they don't because they can't.
He is probably referring to the death of several people from cancer after the filming of Stalker, because some scenes were filmed at an industrial facility in Estonia where actors and crew were exposed to pollution. But to blame Tarkovsky personally for this is a bit of a stretch.
Gee, I hadn't heard that. The sound designer said:
"We were shooting near Tallinn in the area around the small river Jägala with a half-functioning hydroelectric station. Up the river was a chemical plant and it poured out poisonous liquids downstream. There is even this shot in Stalker: snow falling in the summer and white foam floating down the river. In fact it was some horrible poison. Many women in our crew got allergic reactions on their faces. Tarkovsky died from cancer of the right bronchial tube. And Tolya Solonitsyn ["the Writer"] too. That it was all connected to the location shooting for Stalker became clear to me when [Tarkovsky's wife] Larisa Tarkovskaya died from the same illness in Paris."
I'm fine with using your arbitrary power to regulate companies in an effective way, but when you leave them no recourse but to agree to your demands or pull their most useful product out of your country, you don't get to turn around and act like they're leaving out of spite.
They can go along with it and then report the impact of it on their 5bn yearly profit and then they can leave not out of spite.
I suspect it’s a tiny impact on their profits ans this is just an attempt to build support from public. Problem is everybody hates them now. I’d gladly use other products if they didn’t have a monopoly.
Why should we act to funnel Google's profits to nobody except large media outlets over a certain revenue threshold, the largest group of which are owned by Rupert Murdoch?
Why can't we allow all Australian businesses and individuals to receive payments from Google's money hose if they want to?
Why can't we standardise some API for doing so? robots.txt or .well-known/summary-fees.json or something of that sort would work fine.
Why can't Google hide results that cost too much to show? Surely choosing your suppliers is a foundational principle of any market.
I don't have an ideological problem with charging them for showing a link summary or regulating what price negotiation should look like, I have an strategic problem with this oddly specific and coercive way of doing so.
they most likely sold the position from melvin capital to another entity to hold the risk. that way melvin capital can say "oh yeah we caved in haha reddit wins" to try and calm the market, but I would wager that some private citadel fund is now about to be forced to fellate the reddit call pump
The parent comment here said publicise, not publish. The studies will go ahead, but you won't see the mainstream media putting this on the front page.
The reason is that it's too sensitive. Look at the massive argument and tension that was generated just from someone pointing out that certain skin types are not suited to certain environments (melanin skin to north europe, non-melanin skin to australia) - nobody who values their political or academia career will want to touch this one, so the problem will get worse and worse, silently. It could even end up impacting educational and career outcomes in certain parts of the population that would appear to be racial characteristics because the science impacting those traits is a forbidden subject... which ironically makes people more racist.
“Socio-economic inequality means we're more likely to catch the virus, while our biology means we're more likely to die”
Literally just the first link that 10s of Googling found.
> from someone point internet out that certain skin types are not suited to certain environments
That’s because this is a crassly overloaded dog whistle statement.
“Ethnic minorities should supplement Vitamin D in winter” and “pale people should wear sunscreen in Australia” are in no way controversial or sensitive statements in science or academia or in the media. Trying to morph those into an argument that black people “aren’t suited for” Northern Europe is the racist, non-scientific bullshit people lose their positions for.
1.) At this point, it is not "recently invented". It is long term known.
2.) Vitamin D deficiency is affecting you negatively, but not enough to claim that people are "living in an environment they are not suited to". That is absurdly exaggerated claim, especially given all the various reasons why people in history died.
3.) Racism is causing way more suffering then overall vitamin D deficiency.
You're being uncharitable, which is part of the problem. These supplements are "recently invented" in terms of evolutionary history and it's not clear how well they work, compared to actual sun exposure.
"Not suited to" may be a contentious choice of words, but "not adapted to" is plain fact. Not being adapted to an environment confers disadvantages. Perhaps these disadvantages are minor, certainly in this case they are not lethal (in isolation), but from a healthcare perspective, they are important to take into consideration.
Consider that jumping at every opportunity to scold someone choosing their words unwisely does nothing to actually fight racism, but could indirectly harm those people you are intending to help. After all, why would a true racist care about the health outcomes of the races they ostensibly despise? Why would anyone risk investigating genetic differences in medicine, when the payoff is an accusation of racism by well-meaning but uneducated laymen?

You are replying in a thread that above has a link to a great deal of race-specific research done on just Covid-19. There is a large amount of race-specific medicinal research. There is a huge amount of scientific research into medical and sociological factors that pertain to race. You will find it in seconds if you Google for it. Many standard heart-health guides will factor in your ethnicity.
To suggest there isn’t, and there’s some kind of conspiracy is just a form of tired “race realism” bullshit. Just more suggesting that “if we let the facts speak” we’d find some races are superior to others.
People are maladapted to live almost everywhere, which is why we wear warm clothes and sun protection. This whole thing is a racist trope to give cover to the idea that people of colour don’t “belong” in places.
I didn't mean to say that there isn't any race-specific research, but that there is a risk of being called a racist (or a "race realist") associated with doing such research, especially when it gets attention from sensationalist media and keyboard warriors on social media.
Therefore, if there is such a risk, it must have a chilling effect on actual research and on public health relations, even if doesn't outright prevent it from happening at all.
You are demonstrating that there indeed is such a risk, by suggesting that I'm one step away from proclaiming the superiority of the white race. You're not doing anyone any favors with that.
You won't see the mainstream media publicize any non-vaccine solution because they're in the business of fear-mongering and because they have a chummy relationship with big pharma.
