Correlation isnâ(TM)t causation - old people have low vitamin d levels, but theyâ(TM)re probably getting sick.. because theyâ(TM)re old.

Either way, lots of references here.

If youâ(TM)re in the northern hemisphere and work indoors, you probably have low vitamin D.

I eat what I want.

Maybe I'll die sooner, maybe I won't, but you can eat nothing but kale smoothies and protein powder and you're going to end up in the same hole.

The real advice is to lose weight. Being fat kills you. If you doubt this.. visit a retirement home sometime. You won't see many fat people.

Comment Because itâ(TM)s inefficient and stupid? (Score 5, Insightful) 153

Text is a 2D experience. Itâ(TM)s the most efficient way we have to cram information into our heads.

2D video is an extension of that. You look at the screen and you see stuff. 3D TV was a hilarious flop because nobody wants to wear stupid shit on their head. They want to sit down and look at a video.

3D is huge, where it belongs, in video games.

Itâ(TM)s that simple.

Securing your funds has nothing to do with running a full node, only verification of balances. If you can keep a private key safe, your funds are safe. There are many ways to do this, and they're getting easier all the time.

Life in prison is already the law in Canada if you kill someone with a hack.

I suspect it's the same in the USA.

The problem is, you're never going to catch these people. Computers are basically un-securable, and the industry blames the users instead of it's own failings.

This is not being fixed any time soon.
