For those not reading the linked article, it was not about tech (although valid discussions here). I had not expected this (this is about rural Alaska):
> “In some rural districts, visa teachers make up 50% to nearly 80% of the teaching staff. School districts already invest $6,000 to $12,000 per teacher to recruit and sponsor educators through the H-1B visa process. Adding a $100,000 federal visa fee has made it financially impossible for many districts to continue hiring the teachers their students depend on.
I looked up the author and he seems to be peddling alternative medicine theories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola that are not supported by proper science. The entire article smells like a pre-defined conclusion looking for an argument.
There are probably high risks of damaging the retina, and there is an increased risk of cataracts, if I remember correctly. Both my eyes had a vitrectomy during retinal surgery and it is really great to live without floaters. But I can imagine doctors will not want to do it just by itself.
Interesting to see this statement at the top of the article. Long live the web fighting back. Not sure I have seen many (any?) sites with this. Calls for some sort of acronym or logo that others can adopt without having a long sentence at the beginning of many pages:
"This newsletter does not contain ads, sponsored posts, or affiliate links. Open and click tracking are disabled. And there is no paid upgrade or AI generated content. Enjoy!"
For me, somewhat older with iffy eyesight it is hard to use. The fonts are really small. The map could use more real estate on the screen. Right now it sits inside a container that only uses a portion of the screen.
What is confusing is why I see science fiction movies depicting recent history periods but not movies made in the period this SF movies claim to show. E.g. why include Resident Evil on Alcatraz island, but not Dirty Harry (the 2nd)? Time period movies such as Dirty Harry are precious time capsules of what San Francisco and Marin looked like at the time.
Title should mention this was in 1950. We are not talking about new work.
Like others have mentioned, you don't need to prove this today. But back then was different.
It still took till 1973 to get the diagnosis removed from the official psychology handbook, per the article.
If I understand the example correctly, it seems a misinterpretation of the Golden Rule?
The rule says to treat others the way you wish to be treated by them. It does not say do onto others as they did to you or to others. I.e. if verbing is wrong, you should not verb A or suggest to verb A.
I think you are downvoted because your first sentence is misinterpreted, or the rest of your argument is not being read?
You are giving an example of a position and later on discussing the people who have this position as their first and main principle. Seems like a valid example to me, but perhaps people can explain why not.
No need to go anonymous. I fondly remember my achievement of taking apart my washing machine to replace the drum bearing. Thanks to the interweb gods for making blogs and videos that helped me.
But this is measured by cup for many of the items on the list.
E.g. Avocado is #3 but I would not eat a cup of Avocado per day. I do eat a banana most days. And I eat half an avocado, which weighs in the order of a 10th of the weight listed for a cup.
