Perhaps because when you walk into the Apple store for headphones you won't find the other brands there and these shoppers are only interested in Apple blessed products.

Pandas is used in some top 10 banks for analytics. Its performance is abysmal at the scale used there. Nobody wants to invest resources in training analysts to write high performance code so here we are. I have never viewed SQL more highly after seeing the mess that analysts make when writing imperative code.

Heh.

The product disrupted hormonal and water balance, causing edema to form throughout the body of the animals, reported by the Russian business consultancy, which brought studies from Bashkiria State University.

“Meat obtained from animals fed with Paprin contained an accumulation of abnormal amino acids that were incorporated into the membranes of nerve cells, thus disrupting the process of conducting a normal nerve impulse,” said Raisa Bashirova, principal investigator at Bashkiria State University, who added that it was even harmful to humans to paintings with Paprin:

“Factory staff and local citizens were presenting diseases such as canker sores and bronchial asthma. “ In the 1990s, almost the entire production of bioprotein in Russia was stopped. Gaprin, although it had proved to be safe and efficient, could not compete with rather cheap imported protein feedstuffs, which began to land on the local market in large quantities. Now, several decades later, bioprotein production in Russia seems to be getting a second chance.

You already know why you don't do backups to a local hard drive. And you won't start doing it either. Don't kid yourself, cloud is convenience.

This study is amusing. The respondent group is 88% white people, 91% of the total group self-identifying with the literal string "liberal". Less than 1% latinx, less than 1% blacks, less than 1% identifying by the literal string "conservative". On top of that respondents were only targeted by Facebook and Twitter posts.

I guess it should be no surprise white liberals that respond to Facebook and Twitter posts are removing themselves from the gene pool. But maybe it's not only them as other demographics are highly underrepresented in this study.

The problem is payment processors deciding who you can and cannot give money to. Crypto currencies solve this problem by not requiring traditional payment processors to make an exchange of value between parties.

Bitcoin's proof-of-work is basically a conversion of energy directly into money

It's a conversion of energy into coinage which can be used by people to repay their debts to others.

Cheese free pizza is a regression. It reminds of native Hawaiians becoming addicted to SPAM after living on it throughout World War 2. Nowadays many Hawaiians take pride in their cultural heritage of SPAM recipes (and heart disease?)

As far as I am concerned the Neapolitan pizza is the only real pizza. Compare it to the archetypical Dominoes Margherita pizza. American variants of "pizza" definitely deliver melted cheese, tomato sauce, and heated bread in large quantities but the layers of flavor that you find in a faithful reproduction of Neapolitan pizza to the Italian standard are completely missing. One of the first things Americans will notice in an appropriate Neapolitan pizza is that the cheese does not flood the pizza. Its quantity is reduced to appropriately contrast and compliment the thin layer of tomato sauce. And keep those wet veggies off my pizza.
