Overconsumption leading to widespread obesity while a large fraction of the world is hungry - the capitalist solution? Let's invent a pill so we can eat EVEN MORE.
Obsidian has given me everything I had dreamed of in terms of organizing tools, and now this is the cherry on top! I tried so many mindmap software (many paid!) and they all fell short 20 different ways, this is great to see!
CO2 meter - small appartment, both of us working from home since COVID, windows shut at all times because of air quality / heating, found out we were living at very high average CO2 levels, instant fix for weird mental fatigue opening the windows whenever the levels are too high.
VPN, pseudonym, don't reupload any previous projects, avoid contributing to same projects that created problems, behave better in the future? I don't see how they could 'hunt you'.
Thats assuming that the person that returned it is the same that stole it in the first place - I wouldn't be surprised if such an artefact has been sold a few times before finding someone decent that bought it to return it.
Completely agree with you - it doesn't even do justice to appoint candidates on positive discrimination, as it opens the candidate / legacy to 'the only reason they were there is that they are X minority'.
Sure, you can see it that way, and positive discrimination is bad we can agree on.
But you can also see that pool of 7% containing top tier candidates ignored for the longest time - it's like a tree that nobody wanted the fruits of for the stupidest reason.
The fun bit is that everything is 'overvalued' now - stock market, real estate, even crazy things (many parts of crypto such as NFTs, but also Pokemon cards and other collectables) are through the roof, where will all this money go? money out of a bubble has to go somewhere...
How far are we from the boomer generation leaving the market (one way or another)? This will create a lot of oversupply and negative pressure on prices I would assume - who will buy all their houses in the country, their share in the stock market? The answer to that is that we've been doing that already in the past decade with all the money printing / inflation / devaluation of wealth... not sure where the train stops and who will be left holding the bags.
Sure, they're not the only way - but they are definitively the best way, and nothing is stopping this kind of study from happening, especially in low risk (age) groups / populations.
Counterpoint: at first it was extremely obvious that this virus was affecting you harder the older you are, with 60+ populations starting to be at risk. Nobody thought it was harming children.
