No pasta? Sorry, that makes no sense at all. Mediterranean people have one of the best life-expectancy in the west and pasta is a staple there. Also, Asians and rice?
Actually, these studies are useful to validate or invalidate models of what is going on. The studies themselves are not directly useful to tell you what to do or not (even if the brain-dead press usually presents them as such), but a well-validated model will be much more useful in that regard.
The thing with science is that the science never made any absolute claims here, just bad scientists and the press did. Nobody competent claimed that this was the last word.
Of course, things are more complex that the story tells us. For example, if those carbohydrates are mostly sugar, the result is not surprising and even in line with the older state, as sugar in larger quantities is really, really bad for you, much more so than fat.
Stress is a real killer. On the plus side, I am now going to live even longer, as I do not need to feel bad anymore for all that olive oil and butter I use when cocking.
You pretty much have eaten up the BS without getting any understanding of what is actually possible. There is zero possibility at this time for implementing general intelligence, for one thing. Maybe read a research paper some time instead of listening to marketing promises?
Actually, it works surprisingly often. Some actual understanding on the side of the people funding this stipulated. Of course there are quite a few projects going for crowd-funding that have no real chance of delivering, but there are also a lot of people giving funding for these without any insight into that.
I still do not see a problem. For stupid people crowdfunding is just one more way to waste their money, which they would have done anyways. (Being stupid comes with penalties, stop complaining about that.) For smart people it is a a way to get cool things for their money most of the time.
It is a completely open question, but there is no "evidence" on either side. Physicalism, in particular, is a quasi-religious belief and usually justified with a circular argument, i.e. true to the bogus argumentation techniques of proper religion. Dualism, on the other hand, has only plausibility arguments going for it, no hard evidence there either.
The second problem is what all comes in with "awareness". Observation would suggest intelligence and free will are both tied to it. But unless we create self-aware machinery and it then turns out that it has intelligence and free will (making it pretty useless as willing slaves and very much non-deterministic in the bargain), we will not really find out. Of course, persistent failure to create general intelligence (as we currently are observing for about half a century) also gives a strong hint.
It is pretty obvious: All DLP, intrusion detection, fraud detection, behavior anomaly detection, etc. relying in deep leaning is open to attacks of this type by the ones that trained the mechanism. That means, NSA, FSB, GCHQ, etc. will all have their dirty fingers in it. Lets hope the first time some even more bad guys find this they get detected and this crap is thrown out again.
You really have not understood how crowdfunding works. The judgment whether someone asking for funding is doing it right rests solely with the crowd-member investors and that is both its strength and weakness.
Same here. Some actual intelligence required, as always when you invest money speculatively. There is a class of people that lack that intelligence and then complain when they get bitten.
Crowdfunding is not a game that promises to deliver. Realistically, it is a 50:50 thing and people need to understand that and need to stop complaining that it is not a 100% thing. On the plus side, you get a 50% change of getting something you would otherwise have a zero chance. If you take the probability of failure into account, it is actually a pretty good deal in many cases (if you want what is being promised). Also, if you are somewhat realistic in your expectation, you can recognize campaigns that have only a very low probability to actually deliver.
That said, if you expect it to be a 100% thing, then stay away from it as you have _not_ understood what this is about.
Indeed. There is zero chance this will not be heavily abused. It will contribute significantly to the creation of the 3rd surveillance state on German ground though. You would think that they have learned their lesson after the second one, but no, obviously the same evil scum as before has managed again to get into power and is being cheered on by the population.
MS has been the uncrowned queen of "just barely good enough to make money" forever and people were too stupid to recognize that and stay away. Now they can easily get away with it. Take these new promises for what they are worth: nothing at all.
Disclosing the information would probably have exposed GCSB members for the criminals they are. Hence they took the only way out to protect them after lying did nor work anymore. At least morally, that makes the GCSB a criminal organization.
These schools took advantage of people's desire to improve their lives.
In capitalism, there is always a certain amount of enterprises that cater to desires and dreams and do not deliver. Coding Bootcamps are one, but so are lotteries, other fake "academies" like "Trump University", etc.
On the moral side, these are all utterly despicable, with the lottery probably being reasonable benign, but only because it is not expensive.
A funny thing is that not even every good mathematician can learn to code well. These people are highly capable of structuring things, but when the structures need to be executable and become several orders of magnitude more complex, quite a few of them find they do not have what it takes to produce good results. That is not to put down mathematicians in any way, that is just to say that talents can be very, very specific in this space.
So while everyone can certainly produce tweets and most can produce reasonable emails or letters, only few people can write novels that work well for the reader. The novelist is the capable coder in this analog. Having people write single-liners or single-pagers is nice, but it does not make them capable novelists.

The rest, I can agree on.
Indeed. Refined sugar is o.k. as a luxury item in low quantities, but has no place in a regular diet.

Indeed. And given the fractured state of the party-landscape back then, 35% was excellent. And so the catastrophe began...

Hitler was voted into office, neatly negating your argument. (Yes, he had only about 35% of the votes, but that gave him strongest faction.)
Not comparable. Not even remotely. Just shows you do not understand the question.

Is a fixed English expression. Apparently you failed in that subject. It does get written in different forms though.
Also as to your WAG who I am, wrong on _all_ counts. Impressive.

In effect, yes. 300 people that significantly contribute to the erosion of freedom.
In actual reality, I think they are just stupid and naive.
MS has been the uncrowned queen of "just barely good enough to make money" forever and people were too stupid to recognize that and stay away. Now they can easily get away with it. Take these new promises for what they are worth: nothing at all.
You are obviously utterly clueless, but could not control your desire to say something negative. Fail on many levels.
Hehehehe, probably.
Stupidity and bad style are not criminal offences. Otherwise the majority of politicians globally would need to go to jail.
Disclosing the information would probably have exposed GCSB members for the criminals they are. Hence they took the only way out to protect them after lying did nor work anymore. At least morally, that makes the GCSB a criminal organization.
