Youre 100% right and im not a food scientist, but i strongly feel the increase on cancer in humans can be attributed to the largely corn based diet humans are fed.. and the other terrible food items were fed by the powers that be.
Everything is made with corn or corn byproducts and its not healthy at all.. not only that were feeding it to all our animals.. its a bad bad situation how our food supply is treated, and the more we push "lab grown food" the worse its going to get.
The rise in cancer incidence is mostly due to people living longer; advancing age is the biggest risk factor for most cancers.
Anyway there are many other risk factors, and evidence for corn itself being one is scant. Alcohol intake, smoking, red meat consumption, lack of dietary fibre, high salt levels in one's diet and obesity are much more concerning, given the correlative evidence.
either way, humans weren't made to eat a largely corn based diet nor were animals. Most of the food in grocery stores is just corn remade. It's extremely unhealthy food.
You can taste the difference in a cow that's been fed a corn diet and a cow thats been grass fed. Problem is if you see those cattle lots they have so many head of beef(far to many for the acreage) it's just dirt. Then it's dipped in a bath of ecoli killing shit, and squished up with a bajillion other cows.. it's disgusting. I'll stick to raising my own food.
If science has shown anything, it's that this is the wrong way to think. Leave the answers to those who do the science, feelings are a terrible way to come to conclusions. Blaming corn based on your feelings is irrational and very likely completely wrong.
I suspect the "increase in cancer" is noticeable because we're generally not being knocked over by something else first. I believe there is an interesting relationship between prevalence of heart disease and cancer over time (one rises as the other falls).
why not do both? I program, and have a small self sustaining micro farm. Just placed my order for 28 spring chickens, and 3 turkey's which will provide most of the meat for my family throughout the winter. I will supliment with fish and meat that I catch or hunt down.
I also have a vegitable garden which we can most of our food from or preserve in other ways. :)
If I want a chicken that tastes just as good as the ones I raise I have to shell out $20+ for a 6lb whole chicken.. Crazy.. I get it for about $1/lb.
I have a massive vegetable garden but not enough to survive off completely as we're in a London suburb so we concentrate on growing the expensive stuff (and potatoes because once we planted them they just keep coming up every year).
No need for envy, get some land and go to work! It's wonderful. Getting ready to tap our Vermont Sugar Maples for a bit of spring maple sugar production... Nothing like old time, home made, boiled over a open fire, Vermont Maple Syrup!
Does it matter what it costs? Hacker News isn't "open source" news, and software is a business. If you're not into business to make money, you're not in business. You're playing.
One of the best things you can do first is get your PMI certifications. I work in IT project management for General Dynamics IT and this has been an ongoing project for me for awhile. Having a CCNA or some other IT related cert can also be of assitance in landing a job. I started as an engineer and moved into the project management role.
I prefer engineering. For me it's been a huge change going from a fixer/creator role to a paper pusher, but the pay is better when you become a manager so.. I guess it depends on your goals.
Getting your PMI requires having X Hours of leading projects and X hours of training. Start with your CAPM and work up to PMP. It took me 10 years of engineering to move into the project management side of things. I started without any PM certs, but I have CCNA, CCNA Voice, and Avaya Voice Certs.
That's correct, we're not bulk harvesting emails by any means. We use google news api to find blogs, and articles written about your niche based on search terms provided. We then research those blogs manually with real people using amazon mturk for crowd sourcing. We then provide you with the blogs, articles, and information about the author so you can begin interacting with them.. Reading their blogs, following them on social media, and maybe pitching them.
