Why? My understanding of the argument against seed oils is that they have a high omega 6 to omega 3 ratio, which does not align with historical intake and leads to inflammation. While I'm not a nutritionist, this seems like a perfectly reasonable argument
The Synology Photos UI feels much more polished and it includes a mobile app. Synology Photos only has community mobile apps, which weren't well maintained. And last I checked Photoprism did not have multi-user support. Synology Photos feels much more like something I could get my partner and kids to adopt.
The downside is that Synology Photo's database schema and API are not officially documented, but you can find people who have documented them and since it's on a machine you own you have unlimited access to them, so it's still a big step up from Google Photos and Apple Photos which are chock full of restrictions - e.g. Apple Photos doesn't even have a web API.
I would say if you want to know what % of the company you'd own, you should just ask that. The cap table generally has details like how much every other employee owns and a company is unlikely to tell you how much everyone who works there is compensated.
More like fighting fire with gasoline. And emptying the state coffers right before a recession when California tax revenues will be amongst the hardest hit of any state is an additional stupidity. This should all go into the rainy day fund
I don't think this really makes sense. If the city were really just for rich people who don't care about others, then why don't they kick out all the homeless? And why would they pass a high tax on businesses? And how can you say the wealthy don't care about jobs leaving or tech decline when most of the money here is from tech and the rich people work in tech?
I could just as easily say the poorest run city policies:
Housing - don't want gentrification and are rent-controlled anyway
Thefts - don't care about rich store owners or home owners and don't want to be hassled by the police
Schools - if they can't do advanced math then get rid of it so that no one is ahead of them
Tech - they don't work in tech and don't want to compete against rich techies for housing
I think the truth is that it's run by the entrenched, which is a mix of the rich and poor: people who already own property (because their families have been here a long time or because they're rich) and people who have rent-controlled apartments
Do we really want for-profit companies more responsible for mental health on a day where one of the biggest stories is how a mental health company was cutting corners? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29480988
Why is it insane? The article said he fabricated and withheld evidence and won the case via bribery and fraud. I'm not familiar with this case, but that seems to be the findings of the court
Oil polluters should be held responsible for their acts. At the same time, bribery, fraud, withholding and fabricating evidence must also not be allowed to stand
Thanks for mentioning interest rates as well. Though I don't know that it counters the original point. Things can have multiple causes. Both limited supply and low interest rates can be major contributing factors.
I cannot find any references online to the DOJ budget being slashed by George W. Bush let alone by 80%. That sounds quite outlandish to me. Do you have any more information on what you're referring to?
The Pentagon had been warning for months that evacuating the embassy would be a logistical challenge (it's one of the largest in the world) and it would be better to start sooner than later. The State Department was worried about the signal that would send - i.e. that the U.S. did not trust that the Afghanistan military could provide adequate security.
If you use Google or Apple photos you are connecting to their computers that are exposed directly to the internet, but I would much rather own my data rather than have these corporations own it. The question in my mind is why these NAS companies are so comparatively terrible at writing secure software.
But if you also short the worst performing stocks, you still have massive drawdowns. That is somewhat more surprising. I would like to see an explanation for that.
Is it because the top decile stocks are higher beta than the bottom decile stocks?
Is it because of the selection of rebalancing periods? I.e. if the big crashes happen towards the end of a five year period then perhaps the bottom decile stocks have already dropped significantly and have nowhere to go while the top decile stocks have risen significantly and have plenty of room to fall.
Delivering food is not a high value activity. Most people are only willing to pay a few dollars to have food delivered to them. If you raise the cost of employing low skill workers then many of these business models cease to exist.
It's hard to survive on very low wages. That's one reason we have a social safety net. Many argue that it should be the company's responsibility to pay their workers higher wages and not society's responsibility to take care of unskilled members of society. However, this is not a realistic option in all cases because some fraction of these jobs would cease to exist if higher wages are mandated as not all customers will be willing to pay higher prices. In the food delivery case it's a large fraction of customers and the business will probably cease to exist.
The fundamental problem here is that our economy is becoming more advanced and more and different skills are being required to be able to provide value to society and many people don't have the required skills. There are only a few things that can happen in this scenario: society educates low skill residents to prepare them for more valuable jobs, low skill residents work in low value jobs, low skill residents are unemployed. We should make the education option available and highly encouraged. We should provide for necessities like nutrition, safety, shelter that many young people are lacking that prevent them from availing themselves of educational opportunities. However, in the case that people aren't willing or able to complete the education required for jobs requiring a highly educated workforce, I think it's better that people have the option of working in lower value jobs rather than effectively outlawing it. This does not mean these workers should be treated as having low value beyond being paid low wages. There should be worker protections, customers should treat workers with respect, etc.
It would be better for the world if we had more people working in more valuable jobs like science, medicine, technology, etc. and fewer in food delivery. But raising wage regulations to the point that Deliveroo's business model is no longer sustainable probably just means that its workers are unemployed and people have fewer food delivery options.
Using logos of other sites may create trademark issues. E.g. if a site is upset you're crawling them, they could allege that you're committing trademark violation and presenting yourself as a partner of theirs. You should ask a lawyer about the banner across the bottom because I'm guessing they'll tell you to remove it. I'm not a lawyer and am not giving legal advice
