He did say 10 years ago so...

Going through that link, it's hard to see where you came to that conclusion? It seems to have pretty reasonable dietary advice.

The food pyramid also seemed like pretty reasonable dietary advice until it wasn't. The skepticism expressed by other posters about where the guidelines originated from is well founded.

> tells people to eat the food of another mammal's baby. This is the opposite of "reasonable" - it is actual government propaganda to support lobbied industry.

Oh, I was wondering where the part of your screed was gonna come out as crazy. Human consumption of dairy is thousands of years old.


Many (most?) human behaviors are thousands of years old, it does not make them reasonable. Also, refrain from hurling insults; just do not respond if you cannot materially substantiate your argument.

Please follow the HN guidelines [1]:

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

You are paying more to support the development


I agree more can be done to shave game sizes but space is cheap these days so that's probably why it hasn't been a focus.


The same argument gets used when concerning CPU performance when writing software with 10+ levels of abstraction and now your CPU gets pegged when on a semi-active Discord channel.

Who cares that it takes a million clock cycles to process a single message? People are running 5 Ghz CPUs, so that's only 200 ms, right?


To be fair, they started working on the game before it was discontinued. I'm sure someone made a decision that it made more sense to continue on without support rather than start from scratch.


Better let AO3 in on that


Well these are more effective, apparently


According to a Pfizer backed study..


Phase 3 trial, not just any study. The results are required by FDA in order to approve the vaccine.


The point being that it's backed by the company that's producing the product


Nobody else is going to back such a study. So that's going to be true for every drug.


Indeed. And pharmaceutical companies will never do studies for medicines they cannot patent. And you can't patent natural medicines, only synthetic. So only the synthetic ones that are created by them are being studied and are the only "proven" medicine.

Convenient not?

Maybe we should have an independent institute backed by citizens, that does these studies, for both natural and synthetic medicines.

But that would destroy the pharmaceutical industry.


We do have a small one, The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.

It does a bunch of studies like the ones you suggest, but hasn't yet discovered any blockbuster results.


No it won't


OpenAI lost 12bn last quarter


In some instances, nextcloud is better than icloud


You're comparing on-demand-cloud with setup-your-own-server-and-configure-everything-yourself-cloud

Those are two different markets


Only a small fraction of nextcloud users setup their own servers.


Nextcloud has on-demand (if by that you mean a SaaS product)
