Unless you can show that low calories sweeteners are directly responsible for weight gain; i.e. somehow the sweeteners affect how food is metabolized, fat is stored, etc., then these studies don't really say much other than people who are unable to control their appetites are unable to control their appetites.

Low calorie sweeteners are still a better option than sucrose with respect to flavoring.

In terms of annecdata, I've been trying to control my father's eating habits for years now (due to his numerous heart attacks and double bypass), and while I've not been completely successful, everything about my father's health has improved since he switched to diet pepsi from regular pepsi and since I got him to stop buying sugar for his coffee, convincing him to go with Stevia instead.

He still sneaks junk food, but that's not something that has changed. His blood sugar has decreased and his joint pains have improved.

To a certain extent, studies like this that make recommendations against recommendations seem irresponsible.

The whole Google ecosystem is slow on any platform, including Google platforms (Chromebooks).

I don't think they would be decimated; they would just have to alter the heuristics of the automated resume -> trash bin filters so that they select from the candidates they've been ignoring for absurd reasons.

Most of T-Series' subscribers come from people creating accounts in India and getting automatically subscribed to T-Series by YouTube's algorithms.

YouTube did this a while back with other demographics. For instance, CaptainSparklez often mentions this as one of the reasons why he became big; i.e. YouTube was autosubscribing folks to certain creators.

EDIT: If I recall correctly, when you create a new YouTube account, they give you a list of channel suggestions that you can check off to bootstrap you into suggestions based on your preferences, so this could be that, meaning people just "select all".

"8D audio", or in other words "Nothing new with added marketing spin"

This is a horribly naive statement which disregards the existence many different jobs other than office and retail.

Not everyone works in an office.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but f I recall correctly, I think the issue with icons as font was accessibility, rather the average user with full sensory capabilities.

What jobs are being lost and companies being shuttered in New York? What environmental impact is being had in New York?

This isn't a walmart that's going to displace local shops. This is a corporate headquarters; an office building.

Last I checked, they don't have to build a stagnant pond next to the building either, so I don't know what you mean by environmental impact.

Amazon is going to exist whether or not it has an HQ in NY, so your points seem tangential and irrelevant.

Alternatively we can just use camel case: "ISoSaySomeComputerScienceStudents"

I'm assuming this is a California thing? That's like beyond senior level pay over here in the mid west, lol.

Ditto.

I was stopped temporarily last night at the polls after the poll worker scanned my ID and had me sign. She said they're not the same signature, and I'm like, "lmao, yeah, no, no they're not. I gave up on my signature a long time ago."

You understand that Google isn't the only search engine ... right?

Listen, dude, bro, amigo, compadre, chief, dude ... just because you can't stand spicy food, doesn't mean the rest of those that fall under the category of 'white' can't stand spicy food.

In the realm of formal logic, we call this "hasty generalization".

It's stupid. Don't do it. I mean, for fork's sake, one of the most popular show on YouTube right now is a white dude who eats spicy food with every guest they interview.

Maybe the times you were warned and didn't listen, they decided to fork with you and give you the extra hot ingredients.

That's pretty racist.

This doesn't seem relevant, as the article is about minimum wage.

I hate Jupyter notebooks; I seriously do. Maybe that's an irrational sentiment, but I find them nauseating to me in the same vein that I find country music nauseating.

So in essence, styling a component with em can reduce reusability of components more and more as em gets introduced in various places?

You realize that when you're doing these CAPTCHAs, you're on the internet right? You could ask Google or DDG, "What is an XYZ?" and they would happily provide examples.

Honestly, you're kind of insulting the intelligence of most people without a US cultural background.

Facebook has a payment platform with various products.

My CSS-foo is fairly weak; what problems would em cause such that they disallow it in the code base?

The obsession with positive findings is the most absurd thing when you think about it right?

Like, I've read anecdotes from people saying that the editors or whomever at some of these journals might turn down publishing null findings. Think about that for a second. What does that tell you about their mindset? What possible reason would you have for not publishing null findings?

Editor: "We gotta move these journals johnny! They need those spicy findings. If the findings aren't spicy, this stuff won't sell."

That's hyperbole, but that's essentially the only reasoning I can think of, and it's absurd. Like, what professionals reading journals are going to be like "Whelp, the findings in this journal haven't been spicy. I can't dab on this nonsense. I'm going to start reading the other journal." said no researcher ever; neither literally or in essence.

Yerp. Here are a few links regarding the issue:

Weren't people spending more time on video on Facebook due to Facebook prioritizing video and pages turning still images into videos of still images?

Anyone else know what I'm referring to here? You see an image someone shared, but it's a video, so you click it, and it's still a still image, because page admins were trying to game the system.

ADDENDUM: Apparently either people think I'm being off topic (maybe), or I'm making stuff up, so, here's a source:

That's a horrible idea. Books are still extremely valuable for providing information in a distraction free medium. Books should not be underrated.

The million dollar toilet example doesn't sound like a broken out expense, but instead the exact opposite.

Meanwhile, in the united states, people are sued for copyright infringement for publishing publicly available information such as "laws".

I wish our local and state governments were as transparent as yours; sometimes they are, but it's not universal, and it's a sad disgrace that our country's (US's) governing bodies are so enthralled with secrecy in most public matters.

Huh? PC isn't new. That abbreviation has been around since the 80s or 90s.

I don't know for certain, but my guess is that it does not.

I don't quite know what the purpose of the spammers using neighbor spoofing is, because generally if you actually respond to those calls, they hang up on the other end. Maybe it's fishing for potential victims that they'll target with another method?

The nature of the scam spam though probably relies on the ability of the victim to call back, so those numbers are not spoofed.
