I'm not saying its a simple as: Drink Alcohol=Happy Country.

But I would bet the variable is statistically significant.

And you're right there are plenty of other healthy ways to achieve happiness. But to go to the other extreme and say there are zero positive effects correlated with happiness is an overstatement.

Assuming you’re actually serious: Companies don’t pay men more, they pay women less — because they pay everyone as little as they can: it’s well established that women systematically under-estimate their own value, compared to equally-qualified men (and they’re also underestimated by their peers). This has a huge impact on salary negotiations: Women tend to negotiate less, and if they negotiate at all, they tend to ask for less than their male peers.

And to get this out of the way: Most companies nowadays don’t do this intentionally. It just happens. The outcome is the same though.

As others have said, this is a myth and you are wrong. Alcohol is carcinogen and there is no reason to expect that there is safe level of consumption.

On another note, these investigations are good because democracy can only function if the actors are in general of good intent. Democracy is fragile and can easily be subverted or destroyed from within. So this isn't so much a threat to democracy as it is the system working as intended: branches of government created separate but equal to ensure that everybody plays by the rules.

Finally, it's not partisan because the majority of the people participating in this are actually of the same party that holds all three branches of American government.

I disagree. There is a whole stigma/taboo around alcohol in the US. Here in Belgium drinking is permitted at the age of 16 (previously 15 or it still is 15, I don't know and most people don't care), but many people don't really care because the most important part at that age is to make sure that when they drink, they drink responsibly. Prohibiting something is only going to cause the opposite effect. I remember reading how alcoholics are spread amongst age and amongst countries and most European countries (most importantly Belgium most of all) have some of the lowest amount of alcoholics per capita. You can see from these statistics [1] that for Belgium the amount of 15-16 year olds that report being intoxicated lately is lower than the US, even though Belgium has got some of the highest amount of 15-16 year olds that report they've drunk alcohol in the past few days.

Plus they generally consume less sugar. In America sometimes it’s literally not been possible for me to order a drink that didn’t come with refined sugar. No milk, no soda water, no coconut water; just soft drinks as far as the eye can see.
I’ve read that part of the reason that moderate drinkers appear on average to be in better health than teetotalers is that many people who abstain entirely from alcohol used to be heavy drinkers, and may have quit because it was impacting their health. If you omit recovered/recovering alcoholics from the calculation, the alleged effect on heart health largely disappears.

If you want to drink, go for it—for better or worse, it’s often a big part of social life. But as you say, there’s essentially no “safe” amount, just the amount of increased risk you’re personally willing to accept when it comes to addiction, risk-taking behaviour, depression, anxiety, heart disease, insulin resistance, organ dysfunction, cancer, systemic inflammation, brain damage, and so on.

Someone who doesn’t drink should absolutely not start drinking under the guise of health.

One of these things is not like the other: Consuming even high volumes of coffee isn’t only completely safe, it probably has some health benefits.

If women are being paid less for the same contribution, then there is an enormous market opportunity for women to start companies, hire away those women by offering better pay, and undercut the male run companies.

I.e. if women are paid 80% of men for equal work, the women run company can offer 90%, and have labor costs 10% below the other company. This should translate to offering their product/service at 5% less, which is a huge deal.

One question I have about this paper is that as far as I can tell they don't seem to control for obesity. Drinking is often correlated with increased weight, and fatness causes many of the problems attributed to alcohol. I wonder how much of negative health issues found in this paper could be offset by staying fit and keeping weight under control?

That said, it seems to be quite a rigorous paper in general and it's made me think about how much I should be drinking.

The full Akamai report linked from the article also outlines that this technique (accessing UPnP from the Internet while pretending to come from the LAN) allows to expose the router's LAN services (e.g. web interface) on the Internet.

Hmm, I might be missing something here. To me it appears as there's nothing really novel about getting the weekend newspapers delivered to your house on a subscription basis. One arranges delivery and subscription with the local newsagent and a paperboy delivers it. (The terms we still use even encode that model: newsagent paperboy)

Perhaps it's a return to tried and tested model rather than a switch to a new one?

> these days most workplaces have a strict no-alcohol policy

I’d be curious where you’re working because this definitely isn’t true in the UK (Friday afternoon pints at work are customary), nor in France (most canteens stock wine for lunch). And in Germany, at least in academia, having a drink in the afternoon at work is also often acceptable.
The problem isn't how risky your career at Google is, it's about the correlation of that risk with the risk of your investments. The most likely risk of working at Google is if you lose your job. Well losing your job is highly correlated with whether Google lays loads of people off. Which is highly correlated with the share price collapsing. Which is highly correlated with the tech sector crashing.

So most likely scenario for that risk to materialize involves: Google runs into trouble so needs to lay people off. So at that point, you've lost your job, and all your investments in Google are down for the same reason you lost your job, and because Google is such a large company it's layoffs mean a flood of talent into the labor pool so your future job prospects are effected.

So your safety net of savings becomes far less valuable at exactly the time you use it most.

It almost doesn't matter how safe you think Google is - because by working there you're already massively more invested in it than almost any investor would be.
Great, so your tiny ass country loves alcoholics. Your unemployment rate is an average of 33% of your population. Life expectancy is 81. So slightly higher than average quality of life.

Then again, your age of consent is 16, too, so that screams something else about your country alongside being a bunch of unemployed alcoholics.

Somewhat counter-intuitively, closing social media accounts can have a positive effect on one's business. Young people of today increasingly are valuing word-of-mouth and social cachet more and more. The value proposition of a 'secret' or 'underground' pub quickly becomes apparent.

The latest trend that I've experienced is the use of private ephemeral messaging in the form of Snapchat accounts that are given out at bars. This makes it possible to get both the community benefits from social media as well as the mystique from being part of a 'secret club'.

One model, in the UK at least, is to use an agent for purchasing of subscription publications.

This newsagent delivered the papers and magazines to your door before you left for work in the morning, didn't send your data to organisations and allowed flexible purchasing options (monthly, weekly, etc). Many people still use news agents for their subscription delivery mechanisms.

Perhaps we can see an online agent, where we pay a trusted third party that negotiates transactions on all our online activites on our behalf, and protects our privacy, location, when else we buy, etc. That digital agent would collect a small (1% of transaction cost) as fee, to continue it's operations.

Same with Vitamin D, almost. If it were patent-protected, you'd probably get a big list of features promoted for an almost "miracle pill" that would probably cost a few dollars per pill.

But Vitamin D is not patent protected and it's dirt cheap, so not only does Big Pharma have no interest in promoting it, but it would rather you take much more dangerous drugs and much more expensive drugs to cure the same things Vitamin D does.

This reminds me of "[semantic] compression oriented programming": https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0015

The arary languages have always struck me as the extreme end of this. The semantics are very dense: each operator does a lot. Intermediate results aren't granted names. The few people who can follow this find it pleasant as the "extraneous" information is removed. Most people find it hard to adapt to. And it doesn't readily suit a lot of business logic.

Possibly the one context where arrays-as-language-primitive has really taken off is the 3D processing world, first with OpenGL's matrix stack computation and later with shader programming. Note that shader programming is the other way round: you don't start with a screen object and apply functions to it mapped across all the pixels (fragments), you write a small program as if for one pixel. Even if the end result is executed in a highly parallel fashion.
