This looks a lot like quackery. A miracle diet that will cure almost all ailments? Sounds too good to be true.

The author encourages parents to disregard Physician advice in favor of a vaguely formulated diet advice and expensive supplements, which the author sells. Also lots of enemas and no MMR vaccines.

It really depends on vaccination rates and the transmission rates of vaccinated people. Vaccines aren't going to reach mass distribution until February or March at the earliest. It's an open question just how much vaccination reduces low-level infection and retransmission. The published vaccine trials have been focused on incidence of symptoms and reduction in mortality in the vaccinated group.

It remains possible that the death rate may climb among the unvaccinated if others' vaccinations is used as an excuse for risky behavior.

> Yelp, GrubHub, Seamless

Interesting choice of examples! Grubhub owns Seamless and bought Yelp's delivery service (formerly Eat24). Grubhub also owns AllMenus and MenuPages. So an individual restaurant has to compete with 5 different sophisticated offerings from one company for SEO position.

The op-ed pages have always been longform twitter, not journalism. The journalism and op-ed sides are different departments with no influence over the other.

So what is reliable media? What can be trusted? Who do you trust?

> We've never had a media that's more blatantly bias and unreliable than the one we have right now.

Can you provide a citation or evidence of this claim?

> I want the truth. That's something all US media is failing to give us right now.

What truth is this you are so deprived of? I presume you have some "real" source of truth that's more reliable than media that fact-checks itself and issues corrections?

It sounds a lot like you are deliberately seeking bias-confirming right wing propaganda!

Right wing propagandists flooded twitter and reddit with deceptive edits, frame grabs, and narratives. I expect there are now multiple retaliatory take down campaigns by multiple groups and bot networks to try to preserve only videos that support their preferred narrative.

unmoderated forums tend to drive off anyone but those holding the most extreme and toxic views.

How is this product "Zoom for Developers"? What makes GitDuck like a video conferencing platform which supports 100+ concurrent users?

To me "Zoom for x" implies video calling as a primary feature.

The TVA is government owned, but self funded. Apparently it's turned a healthy profit since the 70s.
