  • We are in a time where a single invention can rarelt be great. For technological development you need thousands of small inventions, each that use previous technological breakthrough through decades of research. And even great things we have, are just refinement and miniaturization of things we already had.

    But if a single thing had to be said, I would say mRNA vaccines. Covid vaccines saved milions of lives, were developed in record times, and their technology could be used for HIV or even antitumoral vaccines.

    Well, to amazon credit, they only offer cloud services. If government officials are dumb enough to store confidential documents in webservers without any authentication, it’s not Amazon’s fault (also, assuming you find real documents, the fact they are indexed by google, means that those links are also stored on publicly accessible pages, like forums or link directories, that’s the only legit way it can be found by google crawlers; that’s double dumb)




  • Added sugar is bad because we don’t need all the sugar we tipically consume.

    Eating fruits is healthier because you eat other nutrients (such as vitamins) and fibers that fill you faster make you eat less (while providing other benefits to your gastrointestinal system). A pure friot juice is more filling, contains more nutrients and less calories than sugary water with fruit additives and colorants, because as other said pure sugar is pure energy but doesn’t have nutrients, only calories. If you consume very little it’s the same (only as in calories) as eating a larger amount of fruits, but the little part is the problem usually.

    Eating too much fruit is also unhealthy, and can still be diabetic, it’s just much harder, more expensive and less convenient to consume unhralthy amounts of food rather than sugar.



  • Depending on your definition of software, 100% is already achieved. UEFI is hardly considerable software as it’s highly integrated to the hardware and an open firmware requires open hardware. Of course that depends on your definition of software, which is definitely not universally agreed upon.

    If that is the case, considering boot loader, kernel, applications and drivers, a 100% open source software is easily avhievable with any linux system and with other *nix, wich however I don’t know much about.
