Completely misleading headline. Is the Daily Mail a reliable source?

"The team at Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit health and environmental advocacy organization, noted that the remaining 80 percent of products were not deemed inherently dangerous.

Instead, they failed to meet EWG's standards because they contained ingredients of concern, offered insufficient UVA protection, used spray formulations or made protection claims the group believes are misleading."

This is what I see for my state: "The average salary for a Registered Nurse in Colorado with 25 years of experience ranges from $115,000 to over $140,000 annually".

A dev with the same experience I think is at least 50% more than this.

Somehow hardware giants like Dell, HP, SuperMicro, etc didn't make a product like this, even at their peak in 2000s or during cloud boom in 2010s. I wonder why?

They all did. HP had Super Dome and blades and Synergy. Dell had similar.

From a legal and financial perspective it seems like it would be difficult to pay people to do interview homework. There's tax implications and other issues like state labor laws.

I would argue that these are products and companies want people to use them. Like it or not, a model that disagrees with some fundamental core of your beliefs will make you much less likely to use it. To me it's the same problem with LLMs just being overly agreeable. The general public doesn't want tools that argue with them.

My son is susceptible to these type of infections and has asthma. He missed 17 days of school last year. Even if not fatal these types of infections are miserable and have an impact on those who get them and their caretakers.

I didn't see any mention of K2 (or missed it) - but a lot of D supplements combine with K2 as a "traffic cop" to keep calcium in bones and not arteries. I've not found a ton of evidence on this either, but seems to be a popular combination.

The economics of AI fall apart if you stay with the old model forever. No need to buy new GPUs or build new data centers.

Fox to buy Roku 1 month ago

Back when we had things like Dish and cable, I was able to put a "Parental Block" on channels. I used this to hide or remove channels I never watched, but I found it had a secondary benefit when my Texan in-laws visited -- "Sorry, our TV package doesn't include Fox News".

Ignoring at least 2 messages does not in-fact make a surprise if you just don't like what the messages said.

Every single population growth and peak chart for the last 10 years (and maybe 20) has been wrong with growth slowing much faster than expected. It's basically the opposite of all the solar power growth predictions. I predict this article is wrong too and the growth continues to fall. Just wait until no kids becomes the norm for couples in their 30s in India like it is here in the US.
