The monocropped modern agriculture is not only producing dead soil, farmers that become reliant upon exterior input supplied by global conglomerates (i.e. ther margins don't go to the person doing the farming, but everyone suppling the stuff the farmer needs), and causes a lot of damage to local ecosystems.

Throwing 20B into a chip fab in the EU would be politically a very unpopular move, if it's done as a public company or worse directly state owned, you'll royally piss of Taiwan, South Korea and China and it's likely they'd retaliate by e.g. subsidising their auto industry more in order to give the death blow to the EU auto industry.

Think about leaving your bike unlocked in times square, vs. the top of a 7 000 meter mountain in the himalayas.

Which unlocked (unsecure) bike is more likely to be stolen, and ergo has a lower risk attached?

----

Obscurity does not help you when the thief has already found your bike, nor is obscurity very helpful for keeping your bike safe if you happen to live in times square.

But if you live at the top of a himalayan peak, you can be fairly certain you're not going to have your bike stolen.

The study has a fairly large effect size, there's plenty of other research into body chronology that shows similar effects and differences between people. The methods in the study look solid, as does the analysis. There's also nothing weird with how the interpreted the results.

Now, should you go out and alter health guidelines for an entire country based off of one study? Hell no. But that also does not mean that you dismiss the study.

Research funding does NOT work in such a way, that scientist A comes up with an interesting idea and immediately gets funding to recruit 200 000 participants from 20 countries.

Library management whas how Lightroom got started. Back in ~2005 or so when the first betas came out that was the big selling point and why I and other photographers jumped on it. Back then, the editing tools in Lightoom were still behind photoshop, but the library management was intuitive and fast.

The other comparable tool (at the time) is PhotoMechanic, but that one is quite different in terms of library management, though far superior to Lightroom in many regards. But it isn't very functional as an overall library tool IMO.
