Stupid. Are they going to tell us when men's physiques are photoshopped too? How about wrinkles or hair color changes or blemish and scar removals? What about wearing makeup?

I hate headlines like this.

Remember when headlines used to be informative rather than trying to get you to click?

What a great idea. You'd think MSFT and AAPL would implement this as an accessibility option.

Toxic and popular with no benefit?

Tldr: bought bitcoin in 2010 and got lucky sitting on it

I find these story of stories silly but also indicative of the market. We are in a crytpocurrency mania and these read like the "Meet the 25 year old dot com millionaire who bought stock in valinux/webvan/pets.com/etc!" from 1998 that dragged even more nontechnical people into the manic runup then.

All I know is people that I'd never expect to know what bitcoin is are suddenly talking about it. What's that tell you?

I'd imagine every piece of infrastructure is targeted that can be.

What's going to be done about it is the real question.

Reality minus the garbage clicky headline: Antibiotic overuse and resistance is causing unstoppable bacteria.

Why there isn't a global effort to develop new antibiotics is somewhat shocking to me. It is already a major public health problem and will get worse if new antibiotics are not developed. Governments need to incentivize new antibiotic develop heavily, or invest in it heavily themselves.

Acetaminophen

Hate the click bait headlines, totally degrading to a paper like Washington post that presumably wants to maintain respectability. But you won't believe what happens next!

A reblog vomit with a garbage bait headline composed of comments on hackernews? What a turd of an "article" and I assume it represents all of "qz.com" quality

Learning an instrument requires commitment and a lot of practice. And more practice. And more practice. And a lifetime of learning.

How many people have the patience for that? Particularly in Generation Internet Points Right Now?

I played that as a kid and never once connected it to the search engine.

I really think it's a poor name choice

If you've ever seen anyone go through a nasty drawn out expensive divorce you'd be even more shy about it.

The divorce industry profits wildly off of emotional turmoil, it's sick to observe.

Unrelated but I wish they would rebrand already. Call it Duck, call it Go, call it something simple.

It's not an easy or memorable name at the moment, and branding matters.

Definitely trust a random blog over the American heart association
