One cherry picked meta review does not reality make. The issue with the previous studies that concluded that moderate drinking was beneficial was based on their flawed study design. The studies asked participants whether they currently drank, and as a result got a lot of participants who had heart issues but didn't drink at all. They failed to consider that many of the interviewed participants didn't drink ANYMORE. Many had stopped drinking completely on doctors' recommendations for their health, after binge drinking for most of their lives. Thus it presented as the incorrect result of the 'J curve' showing that heart disease decreased with less drinking, until it suddenly went up again for non-drinkers. So the bottom of the graph ended up being the light drinkers. In reality, it's a pretty straightforward line go up situation, more alcohol = more health risk. All that said, alcohol is fun so do what you will. Can't live your life in a bubble.

I don't care about wasting half a cent's worth of ketchup, but what I do care about is not getting sick. If this stuff is on the outside of condiment bottles and salt shakers at restaurants, it massively reduces the number of germs that'll live on said implements. And how often do you wash your hands between putting ketchup on your plate and dipping a fry into it?

She seems to blame a lot of external factors for the unruliness of today's youth. I wonder if it could really be that these kids are watching their parents' generation continue apathetically watching as the world goes down the shitter, Nah, couldn't possibly. They're the ones paying her top dollar to psychoanalyze their kids, after all.

This is an indispensable aspect of the road to automated driving, so to speak. Yes, learning human behaviour behind the wheel would be detrimental if it were applied directly to the AI's own driving algorithms, but consider that it's going to need to anticipate the actions of all the human drivers around it. Yes, I would like my self-driving car to have a very fine-tuned set of expectations for the idiocy it'll encounter.

Isn't one of the biggest weaknesses of current solar panels that they get scratched up over time, thus losing efficiency? Seems like a good match to me..
