As Slicher Bath remarks in his book about the agricultural history of Western Europe, "Starving people do not eat less. On the contrary." They eat anything they can. It is the nutritional value that is the problem.

No wonder Slashdot readers are such pussies. All the funny remarks translate to "Make love!" "Yes!". That is no swearing.

Non-Disclosure Agreements are a giant red flag.Any politician who signs one must be prosecuted immediately for undermining democracy, violating transparency laws and corruption. If someone asks you to sign an NDA, you know something extremely fishy is going on.

Heads Down Display

The main difference between banks and other financial institutions is that when they go bankrupt, government will take the losses. After the worst of the last crisis, it was already painfully clear that a next crisis would be an impossible burden, so be careful what you seem to care less about. This is asking, no, begging for an ugly crisis with enormous consequences.

Well yes. Scientists never thought it was a purely genetic disease. As explained by professor Sapolsky, there were a lot of ancient descriptions of all sorts of diseases, but not Parkinson's. That one has emerged since the industrial revolution and the use of pesticides. There may be a genetic component in how well you can survive the poisons causing it, but poisons were always the culprit.

Actually, some of it just might be going on.

First, "Genetics" is a bit of an undefined term. There are Genes, which code for actions (in fact proteins to be made which perform actions), and transcription factors which guide when these genes are read and therefore activated.

For example, polar bears might make more stress hormones due to the heat, which might activate some genes which would otherwise not be active.

Apart from that, re-shuffling DNA does occur in some cases. In humans, this is one of the things that enable the immune system to react to new hazardous substances.

If you are interested, Professor Robert Sapolsky has a great introduction to genetics (part 4 and 5) as part of his college in behavioural biology.

The worst threat to the US automotive industry is the US government, by usually giving in to all their demands for non-competition. That they are now facing competition is not China's fault. That they call themselves "Alliance for Automotive Innovation" is quite hilarious.

There was a great story about this enshittification and the influence it has on people. Have fun reading it.

Please provide it in three bullet points while starting to rephrase the question as the start of the output. Not only that, but provide a link to a youtube video about how to recognize LLM output as well.

Well, off course. There are rules for advertising. There are no rules for LLMs programmed to tell lies and to omit inconvenient facts.

At least toilets are air-gapped from the user content

In another article, I saw a suggestion that scientists were trying the opposite: injecting vaccines with a tattoo gun. The whole point of that is that the immune system is very active just below the skin, while deep in the muscle tissue you are too far behind the defenses.

Well, the tool lives up to its expectations. What, did you expect only good vibes?

The European Commission also uses Signal. Not because it is safe, but because it enables them to circumvent the Freedom Of Information rules.
