Similarly, cigarettes also have a very strong correlation with schizophrenia. Completely non-causal, but it's hard to find a non-hospitalized schizophrenic who does not smoke.
There are playthroughs of single games that are more than 100 hours. Even if you're only playing "short" games, you're looking at 6-10 hours, which means you only give your audience a library of 10-15 vods? Average games are 20-40, so 5?
Vod viewing on twitch is also a pain, ads every 10 minutes, buggy playback, and vods don't play in order.
What's going to happen is anyone currently storing their playthroughs on twitch is now going to export to youtube. So I guess they want youtube to get the ad rev.
The NIH has begun doing studies on the effects of nanoplastics, and it appears there is evidence for buildup in the liver [1]. If asprin had a long half-life in your body, you'd have a maximum lifetime dose. The reason it makes a good medicine is due to the fact that it has a positive effect and leaves your body in a timely manner.
A good example in this instance is Lead. Its bad to have lead in your water even in relatively small amounts, because the half-life of lead in your soft tissues is months, and in your bone is 20-30 years. If nanoplastics end up being similar, you could end up with liver damage, or other medical complications if your exposure is high.
I noticed this as well. The site is small enough it's not likely to draw enough scrutiny to face repercussions, however there's zero chance this is enough to satisfy various data protection laws.
Every union job I've had holiday pay, and every white collar job has paid time off for holidays.
In my life the only jobs that skipped holiday pay were hypercapitalist organizations that didn't have a unionized workforce and didn't compensate people for their time humanely.
One of the things that companies rely on these days is engagement and playerbase. If you don't find that compelling, that's up to you, but Blizzard invests millions every year into maintaining their playerbase - so at least they find it compelling.
Just by being a part of the starcraft community, you are providing support to activision blizzard.
If we were talking about offline-only non-community driven content, sure... but this is a company that is almost entirely driven off of multiplayer games.
I'll admit, I don't work in the startup space. However, it seems to me that Google doesn't really run their products like a startup generally does. It seems like adapting your product to your existing client base is usually better than launching a similar but different product while your current one is live. Once you've fragmented your user base then shuttering one of your products and (hoping?) that the users who didn't migrate will finally migrate to your new product... that seems like a lot of unnecessary risk? Or maybe that's just the startup game?
I feel like if startups ran their business like google runs their products, they'd fail pretty quickly. Am I off base here?
Uhhh.. PediaLyte and Ensure are vastly different products. Ensure is a weight gain meal replacement drink and PediaLyte is fancy gatorade.
Soylent is somewhere between Slimfast and Ensure. I'm not positive there's a quality calorically balanced meal replacement drink out there? Maybe there is, but whatever that is, Soylent is the branded version of that. Not PediaLyte or Ensure.
The biggest thing I've learned from good lawyers, is that with the law - there's always an appeal, a different interpretation, and a challenge or request for exemption from a rule.
Applying to be a lawyer in and of itself can be a process of figuring out the correct paperwork to fill out and asking for a special exemption on a piece of missing information or a missed deadline.
I find it hard to believe that the "middle" 49% produce 73% of the emissions, while the top 1% only produce 15%
While I think it's still best for us all to reduce where we can - I also agree that the individual would quickly change their habits if corporations started to charge a sustainable price for their goods instead of leveraging the planets future.
A short circuit is usually a wiring issue. A poorly manufactured USB cable can certainly cause a short circuit.
Fire investigators are also well versed in the forensic investigation of these scenes. If his expert analysis determined the cord was at fault, there's a good chance it was the cable and not the device.
I like typescript not because it prevents most errors in my code, but because it prevents some errors. Those errors, in my experience, tend to be ones that are time consuming to identify and solve.
A value of the wrong type passed forward because it's almost the right type can cause errors that make their way into production.
I hear you say "so unit test your code!", and to that I reply, we're a c# shop that has only recently started pushing some of our code to the client. If you can convince management that we should shift our paradigm to allow for the time to write tests that don't add much to the sprint we're in, I can send you their email address.
The fact is, a large portion of unit tests solve the same problems that strong types solve.
I don't believe slippery slope applies in this situation. For the most part Youtube has been fairly lenient as to which accounts get heavily moderated and/or removed. I may revise my opinion if it is ever shown that they become more aggressively restrictive to what is hosted on their platform - but for the most part you seem to be given a wide berth to upload what you wish.
The worst I've seen so far is that their video promotion algorithm can be used to "shadow ban".. but I personally believe they have every right to decide how their internal advertisements work.
There is also still the free and open internet as a general platform. Torrents and direct downloads are available as a distribution method if there is truly no other platform willing to host your media.
