Maybe you didn't get then the latest news: https://www.tctmd.com/news/zeus-trial-ziltivekimab-fails-red...

Inflammation is likely a marker, but not the cause of heart failures. That doesn't contradict it being an independent risk factor, but up to recently, it was assumed be causal driver.

Missed the other part. Why does the density doesn't not improve in the city states?

More and more people want to live in the city, as you can see in the skyrocketing rents, but they do not want to

- build higher

- build more dense (in particular, keep the green areas)

City states. The borders are administrative and hard to change, so people living in the "suburbs" live not only in a different city, but a different state.

The numbers are simply wrong. The VAT is 21% tops and in the highest taxed region the 60K are effectively taxed at 32%.

And you miss the point that wealth is not determined by how much you earn, but how much you have.

Various super rich are nominally earning one dollar/euro.

I know doctors that have trouble finding a flat and others that complain about being classified as big renter because they only have six flats. The discriminator is not the income. (When we talk about the Ultra-Rich).

> In Spain if you earn more than 60k you are considered rich.

No, you are high earner. It puts you squarely in the top 10%.

Forget tech. Except the bottle and a thermometer.

Forget about "breast is best". Fed is best.

If breastfeeding works, great. Giving the bottle won't stop your child taking the breast.

The evidence for "breast is best" is limited.

Divide the work, and give each other some time off. Both of your mental well-being is important as well.

Wanting the best for your child is normal, but remember: the best is the enemy of good.

Regarding the TV: the evidence there is also limited. Don't want to discourage you.

Most studies are observational. Most of them are done with volunteers in an university related environment, the differences are usually small.

If you want to follow that advice and it makes you feel better, great. But don't stress yourself out over it.

The most important thing is that your child has loving and caring parents which are there for it. And that takes effort too.

All the best.

Alternative framing: If you have to earn money and pay income tax, you are not really rich.

I think the article points quite well out, these profits cannot be taken at face value, if they are financend by Nvidia in the form of investments.

Well, Spain is fairly sparsely populated in the interior compared to France or Germany: https://maps-spain.com/maps-spain-geography/spain-population...

Then you have the Pyrenees between the Iberian peninsula and France. Aside from being mountainous, also fairly low population density, and rather poorer regions to the point that you'll find abandoned villages.

So, the only sensible connections are along the Mediterranean (Catalonia) or the Atlantic coast (Basque Country).

Another reason is that Spain has high-speed rails only since the nineties.

IRC, just in the recent years, there was a high-speed connection built to the Basque Country (from Madrid). From the Basque Country you can go to France with a light rail.

So, the only high-speed connection is along the Mediterranean.

In a way, it's a center/periphery problem.

France is prioritising connections from/to Paris, Spain from/to Madrid.

Unless either side improves the network at their side of the border, it also makes limited sense to improve yours.

The EU is funding that.

SAP also uses Openstack.

It is not "not contributing more", it is not committing to tripling or quadrupling the defense spending.

That number is purely posturing. Or if you want to frame it more positively: aspirational.

Germany struggles to even meet the previously agreed 2% goal.

I doubt, anyone takes that number seriously.

I create a malicious chart or compromise one you use (with symlink to an arbitrary file and code).

You download charts either as a tarball from a helm repo or oci registry with helm and helm will create the files and links with your permissions, and send me whatever I wanted to extract from your system.

Yes, you should check things you download from the internet. But also, that is not how a chart is supposed to work.
