I don't know why a general observation and citation is getting downvoted.
Discouraged doesn't mean banned. It means avoided.
Regarding why, the article speaks to that.
You are right, in some cases, your best option will be cgo. That's fine. That's why it exists. It just shouldn't be someone's go-to anymore than goto is your go-to for flow control. Will you find circumstances for it? Sure. Do you want people to use it unnecessarily?
Initially, pandemic life was much worse for my sleep. Stress, burnout, exercising less (not even walking to/from the office), getting older, eating worse, all contributed to sleep problems (sleeping too much).
I changed jobs, saw a doctor, started eating better, am forcing some exercise, improved body chemistry, improved blood pressure. I'm sleeping better now than before the beginning of the pandemic, I have an easy time staying awake during the day, and I'm not even having caffeine anymore.
Being in your 40s, a reduction in sex hormones could be a contributing factor as well. Consider getting them checked.
> Did an Institutional Review Board consider this study?
> We submitted an application detailing our research methods to the Princeton University Institutional Review Board, which determined that our study does not constitute human subjects research.
From the social experiment[as reported by OP's link]:
> I look forward to your reply without undue delay and at most within 45 days of this email, as required by Section 1798.130 of the California Civil Code.
I'm pretty sure most people would find that to be a thinly veiled threat of a lawsuit. I'd like to know if the review board considered the text of the email that the "researchers"[1] intended to send and the fact that they were likely to send it to individuals instead of solely publicly traded companies.
Probably. It's not just about 1 in 8 billion people having taken the time to look, it's also about 1 in (what I'm guessing is) at least 100 people at Microsoft not leaking it. Apple had a leak before it was even released. Secrets are hard to keep.
> That will disproportionately affect lower income households who can't as easily withstand these rising costs, which further drives income inequality.
I see your compassion, but income inequality isn't driven by prices, it's driven by the employers not paying enough to their employees. Prices can't fix that.
> This is trivialization of the transition
Is it? I read it more as this being an important step toward addressing the climate crisis.
> as the worlds depends oil in many ways
How much oil is used in making acetaminophen? Why even bring it up? Nobody is saying "no oil," they're saying "stop polluting so much".
> perhaps we innovate on making its extraction more eco friendly
The extraction is a small problem. The global warming it causes is the large problem. Less pumped oil means less burned oil which means fewer greenhouse gases.
For additional context to my Canadian friends, it's not actually legal in the US. Various states have banned state and local law enforcement from enforcing the federal law.
Since it's still illegal federally, dispensaries can't use banks as their funds could be seized without a trial, and merchant services (credit/debit network access) can't offer services to those businesses as it would be aiding in a felony.
Unfortunately, everything is on autopay. I rarely access the app or browser extension, and almost never access the dashboard.
I hope folks over there are thinking about how many people will have fewer than 30 days to update their cards. Emails should have gone out much sooner. I'm guessing this was a rushed job, and I'm sympathetic toward the things vendors force on companies, but communication is 100% in a company's control and should have gone out much sooner (I still haven't received an email).
Since the title is a little misleading, here's how the article describes itself.
> Labor productivity—defined as output per labor hour—has grown at a below-average rate since 2005, representing a dramatic reversal of the above-average growth of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The productivity slowdown during these years has left many economic observers wondering why this situation has occurred and what factors may have contributed. To clarify potential sources of the productivity slowdown, this article presents an analysis of labor productivity and its component series—multifactor productivity, contribution of capital intensity, and contribution of labor composition—at both the economy-wide and industry levels, complemented with a survey of the contemporary productivity literature.
I looked into it a long time ago and seem to remember there was a way to get access to registration records, but I imagine combining that with HTTP certificate transparency records would significantly increase your hostname list. Anything else?

I don't see this as devaluing.
