Where did you read that?

The people you are talking to have apparently never seen this research. Maybe you can help them out and provide links? It's faster to do that than to engage in some form of audience-persuasion, as well as more effective.


surely you'd have to also control for the kind of driving rideshares do (e.g. local v. highway) to have any real sense.

maybe we could look for insurance rates?


Isn't storj a crypto thing? I don't think they'd want to be involved. I get the sense they are idealists

They are idealists but also like cryptocurrency and decentralization. I recognize that's pretty rare since the late 2010's reputation of various coins and their environmental impact but IA is heavily associated with (and received much money from) FileCoin:

(and I am not saying it's bad, or indeed good, just that the usual expectations of being pro- or anti- cryptocurrency or AI don't easily map to things like the Archive)


Also it includes insurance and such that doesn't appear in TC

If you're doing a job you aren't unemployed. Underemployment is measured separately


IQ tests? Very good. But most are in the dataset so it's not very meaningful


Do you want your phone to allocate 4GB to read a mailing list?


Is there evidence supporting the idea that sugar is more satiating? My understanding was that they were equally unhealthy


No, the evidence is that there is no significant difference in satiety. HFCS is 55% fructose / 45% glucose, while sucrose is 50% fructose / 50% glucose.


Well, There's at least this as a start... https://nutrition.org/sugars-created-equal-lets-talk-fructos...

Not saying Sugar itself is much better, however, yes, there is research indicating that the two are metabolized differently, so that difference in composition should be considered.


I am entirely unconvinced that a 5% difference in fructose vs. glucose is a meaningful difference.

They carry the same health risks if eaten in the same amounts. The only thing that corn syrup could be blamed for here is being too cheap so it shows up in greater quantity and in more products than cane sugar might otherwise.

HFCS is just one of those fashionable things to be "concerned" about so we can all miss the forest through the trees.


The difference is in the chemical bond.


yeah that was my understanding. for some reason corn syrup is vilified. the real problem there (as I understand it) is corn subsidies.


Ding ding ding. HFCS is a tax we all pay for no reason anyone in the general populace actually wants.


Asianometry is underrated. So much in depth content


it's cool it lasted so long
