How much of it is stress-induced eating when low-income households barely live paycheck-to-paycheck. That in itself can lead to learned eating preferences inherited from parent to children. I'd assume a healthy diet is the last thing on your mind when you worry tomorrow is eviction day.

Curious. Where does the 100B spending go to most to build a chip factory.

The reason I go with alternative even though it's not oss. I prefer transparent pricing strategies. Plausible's USP is OSS. Their attempt at mass adoption is bait and switch. That's a trade off some are comfortable with. I don't see anything wrong unless price change was kept secret and abrupt.

The same way many empires fell to obsoletion were their inability or lack of foresight to adapt from Blockbuster to Borders to Toys R Us. Music streaming and Cable TV too.

Authors should shift to paid newsletters and drip content over time. Imagine a book with 250 pages would keep your subscription going for a year or two while you work on the next. And once you're about ready to launch the next book, you can compile the "old" content to physical book for a flash sale. Ofc lack of distribution channel and exposure might hurt sales. OTOH, you'd likely see more profit than publishing it whole unless there's a marketing / branding / political advantage.

I'm out of the loop on privacy practices for social media giants such as TikTok. Should I place the same trust I have with Google, Facebook / IG, Twitter to TikTok? In other words, bleak?
