Isn't OP just arguing that, on balance, the other provinces subsidize Quebec via federal taxes?


Your proposal is so bizarrely out of proportion with the harm caused that I can’t tell if it’s parody or not. Why not execute them while you’re at it?


That would be cruel and unusual — their families and friends would needlessly suffer. They'll need to be executed too.


I recommend we summarily execute people who don’t use the middle lane to go straight at an intersection, blocking everyone else from turning right on red; I feel as if jail time for these executives was pretty reasonable.


For services like this, I always use my own domain which can easily be re-mapped or hosted myself. E.g. "checkip.mydomain.com"


You could randomize the batching deadline.


and it won't help retail investors either.


Paul Saladino isn't a credible source of information or theories. He's a non-practicing psychiatrist and social media influencer who's gotten rich making contrarian videos and selling supplements.


I've learned a lot from people who make Youtube videos for a living.


Watching Youtube videos can make us believe we understand a topic better, but that's not necessarily the case. And without a good understanding of that topic to begin with, it's hard to know why we're wrong.

Imagine watching a super compelling Youtube video explaining why dinosaurs never existed, and so you now think that's a credible hypothesis. You would probably know more facts about dinosaurs and paleontology than the average person, but I'd argue that your understanding of dinosaurs has actually gone down.

I see a similar thing happening here. You and Paul are able to cite lots of facts about Linoleic Acid. But there's a whole body of experimental human research showing that, if anything, LA-rich oils probably slightly improve insulin sensitivity, inflammation, lipids etc. But Paul either isn't aware of this or chooses not to show you because it contradicts his claims. So you're left with the wrong impression about LA and seed oils, despite thinking that your understanding has gone up.


To be fair, there's a difference between "people who make YouTube videos for a living" and people who make videos to spout contrarian "theories" so they can sell snake oil.


Well, at least they don't sell seed oil :)


Except the human studies we have suggest that seed oils are probably not inflammatory. A few examples are listed in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xTaAHSFHUU


It is important to remember that the title of this post is "Saturated fat: the making and unmaking of a scientific consensus".


And the author of the article has a long history of misrepresenting science and has direct financial incentive to push her specific view.

The BMJ got in trouble for believing her and had to issue retractions because of it:

There is no evidence that Nina Teicholz should be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to her arguments and plenty of evidence that she should be treated with skepticism.


Behaving like bullies trying to prevent people that agree with the author to discuss isn't in the spirit of this forum.

which part of that do you consider bullying? is it any opinion that goes against the underdog?


More than simply a marker, it's a causal risk factor for ASCVD.


Unfortunately Backblaze requires[1] you to provide them this private key to restore.

Yeah I mean you gotta trust them on some level. Backblaze could also push a client update that nerfs the encryption. If you've got really sensitive data I'd probably pick something else.


What does restore mean this context? I’ve downloaded files from their online portal without providing a key. Perhaps restoring in this context means having them mail you a hard drive.


Really? I thought the file metadata is encrypted so it needs the key to even identify what files are available to restore.


You can always encrypt yourself and rclone to b2. Likely cheaper if you are not a data hoarder.


Arq is the best set-and-forget option I know of for macOS.


I'm not following the point of this comment? TurboTax's correctness is battle-tested by millions of people every year- the odds of you making a mistake carrying over numbers by hand are way higher than TT making a calculation error.
