Were you involved with the project? I worked at msft back then and distinctly remember the office ipad team. I think ballmer actually let them release just the OneNote standalone app in 2013 iirc.
There's a ton of evidence that these substances might be bad for you. Among human study cohorts they have been shown to have a serious impact on reproductive health and infertility, metabolic and oxidative stress, cancer risk, cardiovascular health, the immune system (including children’s asthma), and neurodevelopment. Exposure risks extend from more controllable areas such as consumption of packaged food to less controllable areas such as environmental and household dust. Moreover, the impacts seems to be more pronounced in children. While most research on these effects in human subjects are more recent, people have noticed the link between plasticizers and hormones/fertility in male rats since the late 1980s. Thirty-five years of results make it less likely that human results shown are a result of p-hacking or similar statistical legerdemain. With half of the world’s plastics produced in the last 15 years - we'll probably see the research become more conclusive as the effects of those plastics are seen in further human studies
“The longest day” is a great book on the subject were they interviewed thousands of people who were personally involved in D-Day and wove their stories together as well
Doesn't explain how to stick to the hard goal of burning a $100 bill every time you don't go to the gym. I just know that I would stop doing this as soon as it came time to burn the money. What do I do when I don't burn the $100 bill? Burn a $100 bill?
