Thank you. This was a fascinating read.

I can't even say "best" experience let alone "by far".
Apple is notoriously anti consumer on everything from hardware to software.
I don't know what you are talking about. They had a fun signup screen when you first boot your iPhone. I have 0 ideas what you are talking about for macOS.
I think their primary reason for success was their advertising/marketing.
Being a bit more realistic is the hawthorne effect, which can be easy to test with follow up experiments.
My biggest takeaway isn't to do IF or cut calories, but rather it seems some phenomena was found. If you asked me if diet, fasting, etc... Would cute cancer, I'd have said NO! but this study has changed that answer to "I don't know".
I suggest that is a huge difference and benefit.
But why would this suddenly happen?
There's some physiology here to be uncovered. That hardly is 'nothing'.
Is it calories? Is it fasting? Is it nutrient timing?
You can't find out which from "no control", but there's definitely a physiological effect being seen, correct?
I run a data driven self help website and there is no paywall or advertising on the website. Everyone clearly signs up for emails. I still get above 0.5% spam+bounce ratio which means I need to ask Amazon for forgiveness everytime I email. (4x per year)
Yes I purge the lists, don't use clickbait, etc...
If 0.5% can get you into spam folders, this is an easy attack vector to silence someone.
My bigger question is how Walmart, Joann Fabrics, and HBO get into my mailbox. I'm sure they get "marked as spam" by more than 0.5%
I take this opportunity to complain about regulatory capture and the medical cartels. Their constant irresponsibility (opioid epidemic, coronavirus response) affects everyone. Yet they still are paid more than any other industry.
Also, why are you discounting the last 100 years of federal reserve policy? We obviously had greater than 10x inflation. Is 30% inflation in 8 months not considered hyperinflation?
My kids bank account is 30% less valuable now. I'm not going to fight over definitions that 30% inflation isn't enough to be considered hyperinflation.
Not sure if you are looking for Data or a psychic. I do the former.
For stock info, look it up. Not sure where to get historical real estate prices, I'm just looking for a second property and everything is at least 10% higher than in February as you need to offer more than the selling price in this economy.
Messing around with chromium versions and netflix's plugin was not fun when you just wanted to watch a show.
It's not polished, any distro.
But Linux server is GOAT.
The currency the federal reserve multiplies? That could collapse.
Since 2020, the dollar menu is gone, home and stock prices skyrocketed. In a year I've seen ~30% inflation. There's no reason for the inflation to stop there.
(Note, I have lots of investment, inflation may help me)
Just say "parents".
I'm doing the unthinkable, I cut half my Google usage. No more music, no more photos, no more Android Chrome, significantly less Google search.
It's happening, although I feel like anti-consumer practices hurts Google more than Apple. Maybe my original claim about not needing anti trust is a bit simple.
There is no safe solution, it's a decision between protecting the 0.5% old, obese, and sick or the 99.5%
Anyone have a suggestion for an alternative? I was originally optimizing for cost, but now I think I want to prioritize a fast development cycle as the Appliance is going to be priced like a luxury.
Our old are going to get sick from vaccines, so the young are going to get it anyway. Next year under 50 year olds will line up for their vaccine.
Meanwhile 1.5 years worth of old, obese, and sick people will have died from coronavirus.
Wouldn't it have been better if healthy kids and adults caught it in q2 2020?
(Please no ancedotes of a sick 5 year old child dying from "coronavirus", statistics are necessary when discussing billions)
If someone is willing to overpay for an inferior product, they likely will also impulse buy more often than someone who shops and researches phones..
A nerd get an Android, where a teenager will get an iPhone. It's simply a low information consumer buying an overpriced product.
I'm almost disconnected from Google.
I am shocked at how easy it was to get away from everything but email.
There is no illusion of privacy anymore, even if a company jams ads down your throat.
If things need to be private, you need to be taking extreme precautions.
I'm removing Google from my life as we speak, but whenever you prod further about these you find out they did violate TOS and are just unhappy.
I had nursing students, high school grads, history majors, and a heroin addict make a html/css page.
Sure it was wrapped in my header/footer, but this means 1 front end developer, once.
The next question becomes, does she turn away patients or start to become the hospital system she left and treat for 37 minutes or multiple patients.
She's highly recommend in our area and has started to believe only she can help these kids.
Money is not really a huge topic, but rather time and quality.
Medicare will pay 50$/hr and that's how much a "pick up" Physical Therapist.
The boss thing is a double edged sword.
Cleaning supplies are trivial.
I can't think of anything else. We are considering getting someone to call insurance companies in the future. 40k/yr, but currently she does it.
When she worked at the hospital she made them 500k revenue per year as she treated multiple patients at a time. Her clinic is 1 on 1.

The healthcare industry protects it's employees and owners at the expense of the customer.
There's nothing capitalistic here, there's nothing scientific about having monopoly control over healthcare services (Physicians, pharmacists).
As a note, I am shooting myself in the foot discussing this, my wife makes 200k/yr as a doctor of Physical Therapy running her own clinic. And her cartel isn't even on that list.
I think you are incorrect here. 50% of nitrogen goes to waste if no one composts.
