> allthough one would think they'd get 0% alcohol related cancers
I assume "alcohol related" in this context means that alcohol consumption increases the risk for those types of cancers, but you might still get those types of cancers even if you have never consumed any alcohol. And "less than once drink per week" is assumed to be almost the same as never consuming any alcohol at all, so 17% is the risk for women who never consume any alcohol.
Unreliable as in noisy in a way that I could not fix with temporal averaging. I tried to guide a robot arm to pick up the top object in a bag of evenly colored objects, but RealSense gave me randomly fluctuating values and rather large undefined areas (areas that were blocked from the view of one of the two sensors). The ToF sensor gave solid values even outside when it was snowing. Of course the ToF sensor had other problems, high requirements for power and cooling, and perhaps worse performance in very strong sunlight.
Unfortunately sometimes even experienced people make mistakes that a recent graduate should not do (but in practice sometimes does). AI models can help avoid mistakes that in hindsight were obvious and should never have happened.
Integers are simple to parse, but from_chars is a great improvement when parsing floats. It's more standardized on different platforms than the old solutions (no need to worry about the locale, for example whether to use comma or dot as decimals separator) but also has more reliable performance in different compilers. The most advanced approaches to parsing floats can be surprisingly much faster than intermediately advanced approaches. The library used by GCC since version 12 (and also used by Chrome) claims to be 4 - 10 times faster than old strtod implementations:
Stora Enso has 20000 employees and roots in the 13th century. In the 17th centry Stora produced two thirds of all copper in the world.
"The oldest preserved share in the Swedish copper mining company Stora Kopparberg (Falun Mine) in Falun was issued in 1288. It granted the Bishop of Västerås 1/8th (12.5%) ownership, and it is also the oldest known preserved share in any company in the world."
Don't most websites send passwords in plaintext for login and rely on the connection being HTTPS for having any security at all? I don't like that, but seems to be very common, so I'm not surprised about the plaintext part of this article. But that the passwords are at all sent to a server, that did surprise me, good to know.
Indeed, not many facts in that article. For example it claims that "Estonia is unique in the amount of land still covered in trees" (50%), and yet that is only 5th highest in Europe [1]. Finland has a tree coverage of 73% [2]. A hundred years ago Estonia had a tree coverage of only 30%, so forests have expanded a lot in Estonia since then [1].
Sure it looks ugly when a forest is cut down, but some types of plants are waiting for just that chance to sprout (adapted for forest fires), and in western countries forests normally grow up again after being cut down.
In southernmost Sweden, just above Germany, solar production is only 5% in December compared to June. In northernmost Sweden the sun doesn't even rise above the horizon for most of December.
GeForce Now works great. I subscribed for a while to play Cyberpunk 2077 on a remote 4080 and it felt like playing on a local computer. But with much higher settings and framerate than I get on my local GeForce 1080.

Don't make the assumption that everyone live their lives exactly like you do.
Interesting that electricity prices are so different than in southern Sweden even though the distance to Germany is less than 100 km and our grids are somewhat connected. Here in southern Sweden the cost has been negative during daytime for the past week, a trend that will probably continue over summer thanks to solar energy. The net cost for buying electricity is still a bit over 0 though, because of taxes and transfer fees.
