Maybe they might make a Black Mirror episode titled "The Day The Earth Stood Still"

That's assuming it's being rented out. It could be investor or developer sitting and waiting to sell or get a high rent tenant.

Are foreigners responsible for house price increases? Is it companies? Is it locals?

Who make up the buyers? Is there a breakdown? Ie foreign companies?

I would also like to know for Australia too.

Can those warrant canaries holders who follow police/court orders, be sued for false advertising?

Seems like a catch 22 that it's a lose-lose.

If being sued for false advertising was a real risk, advertising would be a lot more truthful :)

Here's a quicker soft start, a woman is best friends with an octopus (about 4 minutes) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1twqEn8iHsk

There needs to be a politician-journalist. Elected in second place who:

- Keeps the 1st place winner on their toes

- Reports to the losing voters

- Can do local news

- Can talk to people

Otherwise, all those hopeful candidates go back to focusing on their living and leaving those "losing" voters without any representation (seriously, how can there be no representation for the leftover votes and assuming they're not rich).

Welcome to the same issue with organic, natural and even junk food that all have loose definitions.

What word do you like and your definition of it?

I also have an issue with organic and natural* as well, but that's not exactly on topic.

If prefer people to use words that mean things. The article wasn't even about processed foods so much as how there is a nutritional model that shows high carbohydrate/low glycemic index foods are particularly fattening relative to their calorie content. The article could easily (and more accurately) be titled "New research highlights the damage from high carb/high sugar foods".

*I mean seriously, vitamin water is "natural"? That stuff is water and sugar alcohol, with a tiny bit of stevia added so it can appear on the ingredients list for people who look for that particular keyword. Those sugar alcohols do occur naturally, I guess, but not usually in foods, and never in such quantities (and never from high fructose corn syrup).

Don’t use vague broad terms.

If something has negative health consequences it’ll be one specific thing, not everything done by a machine.

Highly processed? Ultra-processed?

The idea is that the processing can alter the structure of the food lightly (grilling a steak), moderately (frying a burger), or deeply (making a sausage, with all the extractions, admixing, etc). Deep processing is often used to make less edible things more edible, less palatable things more crave-inducing, and less nutritionally good things more palatable.

Hearing aids are designed to increase sound where the person can't hear as well. Sounds are faint? Hearing aid is a good choice. No therapy needed. Downsides is it that it amplifies noise too, requires batteries, maintenance.

Cochlear implant are designed with electrical signals directly to nerves but needs therapy to understand. Its akin to a legless person learning to walk again with new metal legs. Has similar issues as above with noise, etc, but the nerves are stimulated directly which allows more accurate hearing but not 100%. A major downside is that you lose 100% natural hearing in that ear as the nerve stimulation wires go inside the cochlear, effectively blocking any sound from going in. So imagine you lose a foot, and they offer you a metal leg to walk again and that requires therapy. Its a tough choice for some: some natural hearing or accurate but stimulated hearing.

Then the ear implant. Or really a natural cochlear implant is akin to attaching a new human leg to a legless person. Still, there's therapy needed. However, the cochlear is around the skull. So it's not as simple as taking it out and reattaching it. A lot of research is being done with promising results.

Later, the bionic cochlear, a complete electrical replacement of cochlear where you hear as well as a dog, but that's a dream.

Was gitlab going to pay more if there wasn't any transparency?
