One doesn't need to consult a pediatrician to look at the nutrition table. Even wealthy, intelligent people I know consume highly-processed garbage on a regular basis without thinking twice about what they put in their bodies.

How much will the predicted spending on entitlements increase alongside this predicted GDP increase? More people = more entitlement spending, which is a serious long-term problem that needs to be addressed.

What are you talking about? Criticism comes with the territory of being the CEO of a company. A CEO is going to receive the blame or accolades for a company depending on whether it fails or succeeds. People largely perceive Mozilla to be a declining company. So, yes, she is naturally going to receive the blame for that. What also comes with the territory is massive compensation.

Nvidia has a "monopoly" on the graphics card market because of Cuda. AMD's hardware is catching up, but until there is a Cuda alternative, Nvidia will continue to dominate.

It doesn't, but outsourcing isn't a thing that happens in this area of focus, especially at a national laboratory.

I'm not sure about other niches, but it seems to be fine in HPC. I'm getting more recruiters messaging me on LinkedIn than ever.

Yes. Forcing someone to choose between losing their job or undergoing unusual and routine mandatory, invasive medical procedures, which can lead to consequences like those mentioned in the above article, constitutes coercion.

New comment by tlivolsi in "Ask HN: How long until Ozempic/wegovy are no longer in short supply?"

The purpose of AA is to solve the underlying problem of alcoholism, with the goal of eventually quitting it entirely.

Taking Ozempic doesn't solve the underlying problem of why someone overeats. It just enables the behavior by allowing the individual to indulge without addressing the eating disorder itself.
