All chocolate starts as high-cocoa chocolate. Same with coffee. There is no real substitute for chocolate if you want sweetened chocolate. The bitter and the sweet together are what make the flavor. Same with coffee and sugar for the people that like that.
Your lactose argument is relatively meaningless. Sucrose is over 5 times sweeter than lactose.
I'm not talking about people drinking cappuccino, latte macchiato, or similar things.
Milk doesn't balance/mask bitterness. Sugar does. And people who like sweet milk chocolate don't always like dark chocolate, hence my comparison. They still really like sweet milk chocolate.
to use another analogy imagine serving a fine single malt, aged 18 years or more. And then people mix it with cola
So now we're talking only about premium coffee? Most people in this study are likely drinking hot-brewed garbage with their sugar - which is better compared to a Hershey's bar than any fine single-origin Guatemalan dark chocolate.
What's left after selling that off? Mediocre antivirus?
Fixing it before selling it would get them a little better deal. At this rate, they're heading for a Yahoo-style fire sale with that unit despite their supposed valuation in the article.
Read closer. The size of Delaware is bigger than London and bigger than Madrid. The iceberg is the size of Delaware and bigger than London and bigger than Madrid.
The Delaware article at least gave something relatively close in size. The iceberg is also larger than a tube of toothpaste, which also isn't relevant or particularly helpful.
I don't know the link and haven't read a lot of studies, but it seems that bitter-tasting foods in general help the liver in some unknown way. Probably provides important components to chemical processes in some form.
So why do they still drink coffee if they have to cancel the undesired tastes with copious amounts of sugar
I don't really drink coffee, but I have two answers.
One, chocolate doesn't taste great to a lot of people without added sugar either - do you expect chocolate to go away? Most foods are a combination of multiple flavors. And second, caffeine.
Rote typing is certainly faster, but how useful is it? Is your goal to gain a new copy of a textbook or to learn? To condense notes down to the point you can keep up with handwriting you have to actually engage and process the content.
All through college I had access to a laptop and I still hand-wrote all my notes. My handwriting is illegible and I never read or studied those notes. Just the act of writing them down and having a spatial mapping to where/how I wrote it out on a page was enough to remember a lot of the material.
Schools are sold on the potential of a device instead of the reality. Anything's possible with the right tool - but without a plan it's not going to make itself useful.
One device per student is great when you already need technology for a task - but why should they have access to the device for the entire day?
The software vendor doesn't have a version that works with the new version of Windows. I've already seen large software packages break just from upgrading from one semi-annual release of Windows 10 to the next.
1: this offering is aimed at businesses which would much rather have subscriptions to their software in order to skip having to shell out tons of money for the next iterative release.
Yes, because businesses love upgrading the OS that their core business software runs on. Even many small business just made it off XP a few years ago and will be on Windows 7 until the start of the next decade.
2: almost every other software aimed at professionals works this way now, like Adobe Creative Suite, MS Office, and of course every cloud based software.
Even Office still offers a one-time purchase. I bought my last version of CS at 5.5 - I don't see myself buying another.

True, but neither the headline or 2-paragraph summary mentions what level this study was done at. Am I supposed to read the articles now?

This is why I never like to comment by phone. Autocorrect decided I didn't want to use a verb in my sentence.
Luxembourg is the size of Delaware now?

coffee is medium for you if you don't overdue it.
What? So if I drink it before it's too late, it will help me contact spirits?
Some people even brew their coffee in a hydroxyl acid solution.

asking students to voluntarily login to a proxy server at the start of each class,
Let me guess, this proxy lets students on to sites they wouldn't have had access to if they were on the school's network instead.
Yes. A whitelist that barely let's most of ASCII through. That hardly counts as support.

So relax the rate limit for queries that can be answered from cache.
Whose cache? Does China already block the use of 3rd-party DNS servers?
Why? Isn't the newer version the one that's broken?
And what would the guy familiar with it say? The same thing.
How many of those machines do you think were run by companies who didn't want to spend any money upgrading
The cost of upgrading was not Windows licenses. It was everything else that would break if they upgraded Windows.

limiting the rate of queries to 1 query per second.
Great, now every web page takes several minutes to load by the time you look up all the caching servers, ad networks, and social network scripts.
there's nothing cell-phoney about this thing
There's something cell-phony about this thing.
And if we get rid of all encryption, multiplexing, and everything useful, it might sort of work. Otherwise, you need more power.
Attempting to continue negotiating on price would void the $42 offer. This is not necessarily always the case.
