This Universe Climate Change claim is a bunch of commie bunk by commie professors trying to get gov't study handouts. The universe is perfectly fine! Just keep your guns loaded in case it wants to attack you and turn your children into cosplay space weirdos.
There are jerks on the sides of ANY issue. Thus, pointing out the mere existence of jerks is not strong evidence of a general conspiracy.
However, the percentage or volume of jerks may suggest conspiracies (or heavy bias). If vast or influential groups are bribed to promote something, then it can make a big difference.
To be fair, there's very little scientific evidence that GMO is a significant risk. Nature has been messing with genes since life begun and there's no evidence that human fiddling is more risky than nature's fiddling; barring an intentional introduction of genetic malware; but ANY technology can be abused. I do hope the GMO modifications are carefully monitored by independent inspectors to prevent sinister or risky changes.
In short, I'm not against GMO's, I'm just against unregulated GMO's. It's potentially a great technology.
To maintain healthy weight: Calories In ~= Calories Out
It's not that simple for most people. The body prefers a certain caloric intake level. When it does not get its preferred level, the body "complains" loudly in terms of cravings and discomfort.
And over time metabolism will slow down to catch up with the lower intake, so that one still gains weight even though they are eating less. And, still feel like sh8t.
It usually backfires after about 4 years. Very few can maintain that level of discipline to suffer beyond 4 years. Evolution heavily shaped our bodies, genes, and cravings to error on the side of plump.
Who knows, chubbies may better survive the apocalypse, having the last laugh. When nukes are flying, nobody will care about their slim figure.
a study showing that diet drinks didn't help people loose weight
They don't, but another issue is health problems outside of just weight. Excess sugar can lead to other problems that so far sugar-free (artificial sweetener) drinks are not associated with.
In other words, sugar-free drinks oddly don't appear to help one lose weight compared to sugar drinks; but, excess sugar has other known drawbacks not yet known to exist with sugar-free drinks, at least not to the same degree.
This could benefit Scotland in that "grown in Scotland" could mean more value to the a consumer. Putting the science issues aside for the moment, a certain percentage of consumers don't like GM food. Sometimes zigging when everyone else is zagging gives you an edge.
You are all Oracle cows, say mooo! They fenced you all in with sneaky licensing. Say moo, Oracle cow, mooo mooo. Larry Ellison milks you and your wallet, moo moo!
Job's brilliance was turning new technology into entire new industries 5 to 10 years before it otherwise would happen. He could see the future of the application of technology better than others.
He helped bring about a commercially successful microcomputer when HP, IBM, and others were stumbling at the low end. (IBM learned from their mistakes and Apple's success to bring out the PC a few years later.)
When he saw GUI's at Xerox, he know that's where the future was and knew how to stretch the lowly hardware of the day to make it a consumer product. (Xerox tried a product, but was too expensive and F'd up the GUI.) Granted, he stumbled a bit with the Lisa, but with some help got the Mac going.
He recognized the potential of Pixar's technology and helped launch a new industry. Everyone else saw Tron's failure at the box office and didn't want to touch CGI anymore. He said, f8ck Tron, I'm going to make this work.
He simplified the desktop in the iMac and made it stylish when everyone else did beige or macho Terminator gamer boxes.
The iPod had an appealing and simple interface while the competitors were clunky to use and learn, and sales rocketed.
He realized touchscreen was the future instead of Blackberry-like physical buttons, and rolled over them with the iPhone. (Android originally targeted physical keys until they saw iPhone do it right.)
He's the master glue between technology, users, and industrial design. He's not an inventor, but an integrator who knows when to zig when everyone else is zagging.
"Inventor" is the wrong word, but that shouldn't take away from his genius.
Very few need "massive scaling on demand". They need reasonable scaling with easy hosting vendor swappability. If the cloud can't deliver that, it's a niche thing for blue moon projects.
Cloud has no real definition. I consider a "cloud" application to be an application that is relatively easy to pick up and move to a different hosting vendor.
The "vendor" definition of "cloud" is YOU paying a subscription for proprietary or difficult-to-migrate resources instead of buying a box.

Arrg, don't mention the word "cows"!
Hindu's seem the skinniest. Perhaps I should try Hinduism to get rid of my gut. Hmm, can I outsource that?

Build a licensing tracking database.....in Oracle.
The others charge an arm and leg. Oracle takes your arm and leg and rents 'em back to you for the price of a whole body.
