Anyone who has dealt with lawyers and doctors will a lot will tell you how incomptent they can be.

But the problem with this approach is that in real life the majority of people are not like this. Many people are vastly overconfident and arrogant in their skills, I've had encounters with very good developers who simple refused to even hear an alternative solution or who did not do the most basic stuff to verify certain things before starting implementing them even though someone who had tons of experience in a certain niche compared to him told him to.
So a truly great engineer also needs to be arrogant/assertive/loud as that is the only way to fight other arrogant people. The "quiet confident" engineers opinion will be overruled by loud incomptent engineers.
It's possible it exists in other countries, I don't know that.
The 5% thing is not even remotely the biggest problem.
Also, what prevents them from doing a 5% tax again in a few years, or lowering the limit to who must pay it?

I have never needed to be watchful of a guy on a bike going fast by me, people on bikes don't go that fast in pedestrian zones.
But damn those people on scooters... Many go so insanely fast that I wouldn't mind a scooter ban in pedestrian areas.
Whenever I hear one behind me I always take care to move in straight line as I'm afraid if I move to the side the idiot will crash into me.
>> but I certainly haven’t seen any evidence that it’s superior to other diets that achieve the same things
You can find many N=1 examples for this on the linked youtube channel and then you have hundreds of testemonials here (click load more) on the carnivore diet healing autoimmune issues: https://www.revero.com/blog/success-stories
No other non-keto diet comes even close to this.
I've only ever come across the keto diet as the one that can do this to such an extent. I've only heard of some T2 diabetics reversing it by losing weight in the context of "any diet that causes weight loss".
They don't wave around CVD risks: they show you that all the pro "SFA is bad because of CVD" crowd is also full of biases and very bad science and pharma sponsored studies that shill statins etc...
I agree that the Keto-CTA paper was trash. Horwitz isn't the best when it comes to this.
Though when you say that most are quaks: the entire "SFA is bad" field can also be marked like this when you see that most of those studies are trash, how eg "lasagna" is designated as "meat" in studies and similar trash.
There is no clear signal about SFAs being bad since you can find counter-studies for each viewpoint.
Not a magic bullet (since I know many idiots will comment who are incapable in thinking in probabilities but only think in black and white), but the fact that some people were fully healed or at least partially improved their life quality is obviously insane progress compared to any medication, which either doesn't work fully or stops working over time.
This channel has more examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlku8oWrQLk
Though depression could just as well be a side effect of not liking your partner: that is not wrong: it's a normal reaction when you don't move on. Treat depression as a signal to "move on".
In general when a person asks a question like this they have already made their mind and are just looking for external validation: for someone to say "find someone else".
Find someone else.
You just have to "spam" a lot. That's perhaps the ugly truth that romatic movies don't tell you: you can't know what all is out there unless you experience many people.
You obviously don't like this relationship. Sex is more important than people think, and no amount of talking will fix you not being sexually attracted to your partner (assuming you are a guy).
It's called bad governing. To connect nuclear "not clean" with such bad governing is bit much.

A smart loud minority is screaming a lot but actual paying customers don't care as long as the game is not trash.
Really? So if some medical treatment is what potentially caused me harm, but big pharma doesn't want to do a study on it or didn't do it yet, and the doctors claim with utmost certaininty that the harm came from somewhere else always then I'm 100% wrong?
What happens when hundreds of people start reporting the same thing? Is that still anecdotal evidence because each individual N=1 is treated as independent, since they are not part of the medical establishment but Joe Average?
Is the fact that glyphosate is causing issues to humans anecdotal? It was for a long time, because those smart man of science kept dismissing it.
Now we know that glyphosate is potentially harmful to human gut bacteria since it acts as an antibiotic due to distrupting the Shikimate pathway in human gut bacteria. The long standing theory, by the "experts with studies" was that glyphosate cannot harm humans since humans don't have the Shikimate pathway. Alas, our gut bacteria do.
Despite all the ancedotal reports by people in the USA, who could not eat wheat-products in the USA due to having some strong reaction against them, but magicaly, when going to Europe, they were able to eat them.
How many decades of anecdotes and how many ruined lifes were needed to finaly convince the "smart men in science" that perhaps everything we know about glyhosate safety was actually wrong, despite having studies claiming it was safe?
Thanks god that more and more people see people like the author of this article as idiots, parts of the intelligista community. Midwit meme is the appropriate reponse to people like him.
It's only when the amount of anecdotes become overwhelming large that the "experts" are finally kicked in the face and forced to ackowledge their mistakes.
Not that it makes them any humbler. When the next time the same situation happens the story will repeat itself.
Otherwise they just keep trying and trying. A bully won't stop until he gets punched in the face, and this is what the USA did to the EU bully bureaucrats pushing their will everywhere.
Shame that so few of us Europeans do the same.
Not him. He doesn't care what some clown online thinks of him.
But AI has completely legit non-slop use in games: texture gen, 3D model gen, Suno for audio, programming,...
In an economy where there is a housing shortage local population needs affordable and long-term (6-months+) rental contracts or they don't have stability.
Capitalism is great in general, but some things, such as healthcare, housing, electricity,... needs to have a stronger regulatory framework then eg TVs since the collapse of basic human necessities creates chaos and eventually becomes the foothold of extreme socialist/communist political parties which then finish the job of destroying the economy.
Now it's evocing emergency acts to bypass union member states when it sees fit.
On using Russian frozen assets:
>> The vote put forward by von der Leyen reframed the issue of frozen Russian assets as an economic emergency rather than a sanctions policy. This allowed the Commission to invoke Article 122 of the EU treaties, an emergency clause that permits decisions to be adopted by a qualified majority vote instead of unanimity, effectively bypassing veto threats from countries opposed to the move.
But import problematic immigrants that are a tax + criminal burden and you make everything worse.
"names conveyed purpose or origin.": no they don't. If I use the authors example of the two people talking: as if saying "BASIC" instead of "Cobra" explained the meaning anything better to a person who never used BASIC.
I've been programming for 15 years+ and never used basic due to my age and I never know, until today, that BASIC stands for "Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code".
Why? Because I don't need to know and it doesn't make the usage of BASIC anything different.
