Ironically, I tracked the real world identity of someone using stolen credit cards in my ecom site BECAUSE he posted a tutorial/how-to on YouTube showing the vulnerability tool (script kiddie), under his real name. SMH.
This won't stop this information from being disseminated, but it may save some idiots from themselves.
It's not just CBD. Hemp seeds are an amazingly nutrient rich food. Sibling comments mentioned it can be used in fabrics and paper. It's an amazingly versatile product that's been unfortunately supressed in the war on drugs.
Not really. They were profitable, they just invested heavily in infrastructure (warehouses) and developing new services (AWS).
Amazon lost about $2 billion in their first six years of operations.
And Walmart's online presence would be profitable now if they weren't investing heavily in infrastructure (20 fulfillment centers trying to catch up to Amazon's 110) and new services (online catalog to match Amazon's).
That's a really big claim. No, technically they were not profitable for several years. Then, in the last 10-12 years, you are right that they invested heavily in R&D and everyone knows that one story.
Cloudflare took us down this morning, but also shielded us from the impact of this fiber cut, due to direct peering with google (I’m assuming over different fiber paths.)
It's good we've built this massive decentralized network to withstand even major nuclear attacks only to have massive parts of it fail because we've put so much in a few centralized and failable hands.
No link to the actual study. I need to know if they controlled for body fat and lifestyle.
It's well established that high body fat percentage is correlated with lower sex hormone production. Among other factors, this could be due to decreased bloodflow to the genitals.
It's not unreasonable to think maybe the people eating the junk food were simply fatter.
Another concern is whether they're getting adequate nutrients from other foods. There's a bit of substitution going on when a higher percentage of calories coming from junk food, but it's completely possible to eat McDonald's for lunch every day and still get 100% of your recommended vitamins, minerals and fiber from other meals.
About 2/3 of caloric intake is simply for energy... and excess will lead to weight gain. That said, there is a hormonal component that can dramatically effect how absorption works and lead to a higher or lower chance of metabolic syndrome. There's also a genetic factor as well in terms of what does and doesn't work well. Pretty much all foods have a portion of the population that reacts badly to them.
You're probably right that it's highly related to body fat. But I would suggest it's also highly correlated to sugar (particularly fructose) intake as well as other simple starches. There was a controlled study reported just the other day that showed that even maintaining a given weight, macro nutrient changes can dramatically effect metabolic syndrome and related issues.
Western diets are also high sugar. The fat isn't particularly high compared to say Paleo or other ancestral approaches. Though the quality/types/processing of the fats is pretty unnatural in a typical western diet.
Never had an issue with PayPal debiting funds though, in 10+ years using them.
