I'm not sure that applies in the free market.
It seems less scofflaw companies aren't offered the chance to serve the same markets because criminal companies are let off too lightly.
I discovered Udemy's 1.25x and 1.5x speed last week. It certainly helped.
The content is very well paced and engaging. The use of Jupyter Notebook really is a great way to demo code. I took Part 1 online (free) and then Part 2 in person ($2000) and feel the money was well spent. TBH, I haven't used it yet, but I enjoyed the classes (they were exciting at times) and I do have a project I'm working towards where I'll use this.
I went looking because I believe it does, and found a Consumerist article, "People Love Their Cars Because They're Lonely", discussing a journal article, "Truly, Madly, Deeply: Consumers in the Throes of Material Possession Love".
I believe it does because the greater distance cars allow you to travel mean the areas you spend your time in are less likely to coincide with the areas others spend time in, so unlike the small town I grew up in, people don't become familiar, then friendships don't form. The car also allows shopping in large supermarkets, which result in the local shops closing down, and chance to become familiar with faces of the staff and fellow customers is lost.
I've been at parties and been recognised ~"I see you cycling along xxx", which I can't imagine happens to people who drive, both due to the enclosed nature of cars and the speed.

Nuclear waste is dumped in the Irish sea, at "regulated" amounts.
In the United Kingdom, spent fuel is reprocessed at the Sellafield facility in Cumbria on the North West coast of England. Waste generated at the site comprises a wide range of radionuclides including radiocarbon (14C) which is disposed of in various forms including highly soluble inorganic carbon within the low level liquid radioactive effluent, via pipelines into the Irish Sea. This 14C is rapidly incorporated into the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) reservoir and marine calcifying organisms, e.g. molluscs, readily utilise DIC for shell formation.

Yeah, that wasn’t very clear. He hardly lost his job because of the politician action outside work, is that legal? Maybe it caused him to miss too many days of work and that was used to fire him, maybe by management who wanted to appear faithful to the establishment.
Some people seem to go vegan because they're emotionally off-kilter. I'm in a few vegan Facebook groups and I've seen posts where people are way over-reacting to food cooked on the same surface, or talking about their emotional breakdown over the suffering of animals. I'm vegan almost two years and I'm pretty sure I ate mayo on a burger two weeks ago. I ordered it explicitly without, but sending it back would just create waste and no benefit.
There is a class of drugs called SARMs which are effectively used in bodybuilding but are not FDA approved. Consider too the numerous psychoactive drugs that have been subjectively reported as benign and beneficial, yet are banned. I have no doubt there are many medicines that have been discovered but never brought to market. Why not is the big question: that data isn't generally available. If I am ever struck by chronic illness, I will not be waiting for the FDA to tell me what does and does not work.
The hassle of dealing with traffic has always prevented me from cycling
Reminds me of:
Cars are the perfect late capitalist consumer product: an expensive, often de facto mandatory, solution to a problem that the product itself has largely caused.

Codeine gave me sleep paralysis a few times.

US pedestrian deaths are at a 25 year high. Be ashamed.
Or don't take the car for short journeys. Be part of a positive change.
Or don't take a job that requires long commutes. People want to live in location A and want a better job in location B and accept the fact they increase the risk of death in others, directly and through pollution, as a reasonable trade-off for their comfort.
I don't drive (34, Sacramento). Most people don't need to drive.
My bad. I read it as "since cars pay... transit should pay too".
Cars pay for roads, maintenance, highway patrol, etc.
That's not accurate.

their dataset will have EXIF timestamps
It used to be the case (still is?) that the dates on uploaded photos weren't applied to the photo album. I remember having to go through holiday snaps and change the date on each from the upload date to the actual date. The images were also resized down from what was uploaded.
So, if they have the originals with the full EXIF data, I'd like to be able to use that for my old photos!
They're not competitive with animal B12 sources,
Interestingly, the B12 people get from animals is probably from supplements they were given.

My mother had the Freestyle Libre and liked it. Now using a Dexcom which works with her Apple Watch. I just bought her a Dario finger-stick glucose meter for her birthday which plugs into iPhone lightning port ($40!).
Don't eat meat.

Its replies are widely supportive of the action.
I just signed up for the IRS website and their password requirements are:
Password Rules:
1) At least 8 characters long.
2) Must contain at least one numeric and one special character (!@#$%&). (and asterisks, which is ruining formatting here)
3) At least one uppercase and at least one lowercase letter.
My standard password pattern* has a different special character in it, so now I'm locked out for 24 hours because I can't remember what substitution/alteration I made! It kills me when "password requirements" purportedly for security are more restrictive on one site than the majority of others. I also infer the sites are rarely updated.
*I'm implementing Dashlane at work. To date, having a unique password for every site/service has felt secure.
The report doesn't say loneliness is rising recently. It says technology use is rising and then measures individuals' loneliness, following up with a survey on technology use and a self reported ~"Do you think technology is contributing to loneliness?".
I think for a large part the Internet is replacing television. Is there a suggestion that those spending over two hours/day online (correlating more in the report with loneliness) are being affected by the medium or content or they're just using PC rather than TV?
I'd wager that car use is also up significantly too. Better roads, better cars, more two-car families (28% of US households have more cars than people), kids not walking to school...

The real culprit, IMO, is the automobile. By allowing people travel further, the frequency your life overlaps with other individuals' decreases exponentially. Relationships with strangers are much easier to start with familiarity. I'd like cities to be planned foremost with walkability in mind.
Go to eventbrite.com, search (blank) your local area "today" and events are not in chronological order. I appreciate that they show the 'best' events first, but when I just want something to do, it kills me that such a simple search is not available.
Sounds like beta blockers. They’re used in cardiac medicine but abused by people wanting to keep calm.

THE CAUSE OF CRIMINALITY among the white population of England is perfectly obvious to any reasonably observant person, though criminologists have yet to notice it. This cause is the tattooing of the skin.
I use http://wikimapia.org/ when traveling to find out about what's around me. Going around the US by train last year I passed a decommissioned ICBM launch site and a couple of Superfund/nuclear waste sites. Neat.
In Ireland, DART means Dublin Area Rapid Transit, but since it's pronounced "dart" rather than "d", "a", "r", "t", it's appropriate to write it "Dart". Or so my brother tells me.
