Well, it's a tad (more) complicated. Yes, at first glance, saturated fats are (relatively) bad, fiber is good (although, as you point out, we're aren't ruminants), you need some carbs, some protein.
Deciding what is 'best' for a population is damnably hard. Humans grow slowly relatively to human attention spans. So it's difficult to time experiments well. Ethics boards tend to frown on sticking people in metal cages for the entirety of their lives (although the same can't be said for the US legal system, those nasty ethics folks frown on experimenting on prisoners). Fruit flies likes like a banana. Rats like Big Macs, but then again, they like the wrappers as well.
Running experiments for three years means your using proxy measurements. With lots of assumptions. And those are higher quality experiments.
Coupled with the usual bias and weird financial incentives you are ripe for a giant mess that ends up looking like Soylent (or meat loaf).
Fortunately, humans are pretty omnivorous so a varied, slightly calorie limited diet will probably suffice for most folks.
But if following some weird ass diet turns you on, go for it. Life is short, no matter what your diet is....
This particular theory has been espoused in a couple of aviation related sites. It is certainly possible that the crew ran into something on the ground without anyone else fessing up. But - it's going to be pretty obvious in the flight data recorder. Either you here a big thump or not....
If it was a UAV, then it hit the side of the radome with a lot of force. Some other posters are suggesting a fairly acute angle - more impact than you would expect in a glancing blow. So, either that theory is wrong or the timing was just right. It would have had to be a fairly large UAV - well outside of the recreational Phantom-type drones (which would likely have just dissolved). Mozambique is an odd area for military class drones, but other commenters have mentioned that there is a lot of mining in the area. An industrial drone (operated by a compleat idiot) could have done the trick.
Back in the heady days of 2010 or so, Apple was putting Express Card busses in the Pros. So you could slot SATA adapters, odd memory cards and the like. Was a great feature, my 2011 17 inch MBP still has a XQD adapter (an oddball memory card, thank you Sony and Nikon) that works hella fast. But there was little market uptake and I doubt all that many people actually bought adapters.
And here lies the Great Quandary. Apple now wants to sell millions and millions of everything it produces (including, it seems, dongles). Despite having more money than even Donald Trump, it can't be arsed to keep a few 'loss leader' lines open. Many companies do that - have flagship devices that probably don't make much money but show off what is possible technically.
Apple is looking at all ten billion people on the planet. It wants volume. Not quality. Volume. Money talks.
To be fair, it was one reactor that would not have ever been built anywhere but in the Soviet Union (no containment dome) run by people dumber than a animated TV show (The Simpsons).
Of course, nobody suspected that the oh-so-smart Japanese would site emergency generators where they could get flooded when the containment wall was overrun (just like their consulting geologists told them it would).
If engineers ran the world, things would be more boring but quite a bit safer. Instead we get the Soviet Union, the Universal Kleptocracy and, god help us, Donald.
Because of alpha decay. Best not to eat or breathe it. But washing your hands, wearing a mask and not having lunch on the worksite would keep you all safe and happy. Plutonium in non critical amounts is easy to work around. The rest of the stuff, not so much.
A more interesting experiment would be to take an adult that doesn't recall faces well and then train them. There are a number of mental tricks that some people who's livelihood depends on social graces use to help remember people. Scan the brain before and after. See if there is enough change to be visible on the fMRI.
Neurologists thought that your brain was basically set once you hit early childhood
Around here the big excuse for making marijuana legal at 21 but not 18 was "your brain is still growing well into your 20s, if you start smoking weed at 18 your brain will never finish growing properly." Did they forget to consult a neurologist?
No. Two things - first, the idea that the brain was 'basically set' in childhood hasn't been part of the neurology literature for, oh, decades. Of course biology is more complex than a once sentence explanation. Parts of the brain change in childhood, parts change in adolescents and yes, less change happens as an adult but the brain is still capable of learning new things well into the 80's (for some people). Psychoactive drugs work on younger brains differently than older brains. Society has taken that to try to limit drug use (licit or illicit) in children and relax the issue for adults. That is reasonable but not necessarily correct.
Second, the legal concept of adult has no corollary in medicine unless you are thinking about sexual maturity. Now, every one here is thinking about sexual maturity but that is a different thread. The law has to stuff a complex continuum into essentially a binary decision. Won't work for everyone or everything. Even when you tease the issue out a bit - say legal age of consent for sex and legal age to sign a contract - the decisions are still arbitrary and capricious. It will stay that way for a very long time.
The major point being that dust control has been a solved issue since before time was time. It's not hard but it does require an investment of time and money. Something that the noted companies were loath to do. There are probably even appropriate laws on the books mandating it, but a small wink and bribe does wonders in many parts of the world.
No, AC's are always having that problem. Computers never work, the OS blue screens 20 times a day, their wife, GF and dog leave them. The CIA / NSA and the Mossad are all after them.
A number of Apple fanboys (myself included) have decided to stay on the roller coaster a bit longer by purchasing 2015 MacBook Pros. The ones with MagSafe connectors and real ports (). Might be my last Apple purchase ever, but who knows, maybe they will see the light (or the weight, I suppose).
I've done it (although I still prefer the old, simple tech). A 3.5 mm plug is roughly 20 mm long (not counting the wire, of course). You can get a nice bit of torque by pulling on the end of the plug. Enough to trash an iPhone plug. Been there, done that.
No tech is perfect. I'd rather have the plug than fiddle with Bluetooth vagaries. "Connected". Yeah, sure, to the wrong device you whacky gizmo. Annoying dropouts. Batteries. Batteries. Batteries.
I finally found a decent Bluetooth headphone - Sennheiser Momentum M2. About $300 worth. But I'm not cashing in all of my wired devices. I'm looking at YOU Apple. And I friggen hatedongles.
You have an odd definition of 'never able to survive'. More money than God (well, not the Catholic Church but most others). A brand new glass donut for offices. The highest brand recognition in the world.
What, in your august opinion, does it really take to survive? Because if Apple isn't doing that, the rest of us are in real trouble.

Thanks, mom.
What? 737's? You wanna fly in a Sukhoi?
The Illuminati is just everywhere these days.
(Think industrial drone from a mining company.)

I want to see the flight recorder data.
Or else it's just some clumsy alien.
If Microsoft had not dropped the ball with Windows, Apple would already be completely irrelevant as a computer company.
Microsoft has always dropped the ball with Windows.

OTOH hand, moderately radioactive wildlife isn't something to be causally ignored.
Godzilla, Spiderman... the list goes on.
We have been warned.

Should have logged in. Bad things are always happening to AC's.
Figures....
there was a time, more than 20 years ago, when slash was very liberal.
now, we're invaded by the conservatives and any post that tried to further the progressive belief system gets modded down.
what a shame that we have been infiltrated like this. as a technology-based and focused site, we historically were open minded THINKERS, here.
shame that we got invaded by the faux news crowd. ;(

What Predator vs. Alien? (Or was that the last presidential election?)

Sucks to be them, I suppose.
The big problem with the 2016 MacBook Pro is that it is really a MacBook Air Pro.
If they would just come out with a real MacBook Pro, all six of us would be a lot happier.

Unfortunately, your fantasy iPhone would look something like this. Hard to pocket. Even with cargo pants.

Nah, Apple should go full Dark Side and license the Mac line to Lenovo.

Is that all of you or just some of you?
