Certainly depends on if where you fall in the system; are you taking advantage of getting paid more than those around you with no transparency or could you benefit from transparency because you're lacking information?
Just had this conversation with my parents today. They asked why is working from home so wonderful?
The number one reason I had was, because everyone can just be them, it's a lot different than in the office.
The job can and should be a lot more inclusive and diverse when you're working in your own space -- home office, cafe, etc. You find what works for you, without having to worry about messing with someone else's flow in the next cubicle or being interrupted in your own flow by someone that always needs to escape their own work. Someone that wants to do something distracting can, without annoying others, everything is on your own terms, even if you have to take care of other family members.
With audio only you're just another human, not to be judged on appearance or malformation or what have you; which opens barriers that are presented in the office all the time, hell, it might even scare your interviewers from giving you the job in the first place! Either people can be cruel or incessantly think you're helpless.
I've noticed over the last year, those colleagues that are more introverted sometimes have a better go of presenting how they think online. When sharing their screens they're able to show more of their presentation skills, a lot more chances to present in a way they've developed overtime. And not more opportunities, it's probably the first opportunity they've had to shine than if it they were in an office; it doesn't happen.
In my opinion, I feel like those that are people-people will always get ahead in an office setting versus those that think a bit differently, look a bit differently, dress or act a bit differently, and this makes it a more level playing field for the latter.
The study basically said body mass projected the same results? I can't help but think that the typical foods we consume as an 'advanced' nation are ones of convience and ones that primarily are addictive and unhealthy; this has to be a significant contributing factor. Along with low activity, more cerebral work, vs physical labor has to be a play as well.
Edit: they did mention that comorbidities, including diabetes were a contributing factor. Sugar is the root of all evil, and Americans for sure love their corn syrups... after all it is their cash crop.
Oddly enough, recently there was the company Lipocine in the news that created a new drug that basically is designed to restore normal testosterone levels in men: TLANDO.
Seems to me that they have a `with good authority` hunch, but just need a few more pieces to make it a fool proof connection. With anything, unless they actively admit to it, or made a lot of mistakes, it's not really going any where. Does anything really happen to rogue nation Russia even if they are caught?
It's like getting a new, untrained puppy; it's one of those cases where, you walk into a dark room the puppy was in for a little while. You can smell it, and you're more than likely correct what it's coming from, you just can't see it so you can't really prove, yet, that there is shit somewhere... until you turn the lights on.
You act like I invented the custom. I don't encourage or condone littering but if you've even glanced at the pages from the links it indirectly addresses that.
Also it's much better than the alternative of non-biodegradable plastics.

Always love these disposable avenues of eating and drinking. Not sure if it started after seeing willy wonka eating a cup[0] he just drink out of or not.
But I always remember reading an article about Indian food-carts serving tea in the morning[1][2]. They make really thin clay cups to serve it in. When you're done you smash the cup on the road when you're done.
