Novo nordisk's biggest mistake was refusing to create a direct to consumer business. Eli Lilly sells most of their product through their website at large discounts, this superior distribution method is largely how they were able to gain such a large market share. Their product is also better than ozempic, so that definitely helped too. But its not like Novo Nordisk was stuck with ozempic, they couldve developed new advancements as well.

Adblockers already remove the vast majority of ads. Adtech works because most people dont use them.

See my sibling response. More people will use adblock if all they have to do is prompt a single line into their computer. Hell people will not even visit websites. They will ask AI to present it in whatever form they prefer. I can have a big-breasted anime character reading my personalized news for me, or have it printed in a 1890 style newspaper. Ads will not make it into either format, because I prompt that out.

Using adblock right now is even easier than that though. Most people will not use a command line, but going to https://chromewebstore.google.com/, searching adblock and clicking install is something literally anybody could do.

Not on mobile.

So then people also won't be able to one-shot prompt an ad blocker on mobile either then. And mobile is where most of the ad money is.

There are many cases of law enforcement being imprisoned for shooting people while on duty. It is well established that enforcing laws does not give you carte blanche to shoot people

Absolutely not true lol. I dont think any of their lifts have maps on them right now. The maps also arent super helpful at snowbird because the cliffs often come out of nowhere

Wait, really? I haven't been up this season, but it's always been there! I understand removing the printed ones when the bars have them (and the big boards at the top). Is it all just ads now?

None of the bars have anything printed on them now if I remember correctly. I have a pass and have been around 10 times this season. At least they all have footrests unlike alta where they love foot pain

Internet is a global service. If a european connects to my server in the US where was the service sold? American companies can easily argue the sale was made at the server in the US. European countries would of course disagree, but that doesnt actually mean anything because the company doesnt have any assets in the europe and then it's just a political battle of american government vs european governments.

> If a european connects to my server in the US where was the service sold?

Did you sell something? If you sold something, it's in Europe.

> American companies can easily argue the sale was made at the server in the US.

No, they can't, the server's physical location has nothing to do with the delivery of the sale.

> European countries would of course disagree, but that doesnt actually mean anything because the company doesnt have any assets in the europe and then it's just a political battle of american government vs european governments.

If there are no assets or representation in Europe then there's nothing the justice system can directly affect, so of course it becomes a political matter between governments to enforce it in case the importing country determines the product is doing illegal stuff, that's not a secret and it's how it's worked for a long time.

The internet being global doesn't mean it's lawless, no idea why people still believe that.


Right, but the people who buy luxury trucks dont want EVs. EVs dont align with the signal they are trying to send

UWA wont put up with any competition

> I also have craving as everyone else

No you dont. Have some epistemic humility. People experience reality in unique ways, you can not push your experience onto anyone else with any level of confidence. https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~cavitch/pdf-library/Nagel_Bat.pdf


Something feels extremely dystopian about this statement and I have no issue putting my finger on it. Stop judging others for how they want to live their life

How can they measure individual grocery spending habits? People buy groceries for their whole household.

Tracking household size as part of the study.

See my parallel comment... are they reporting 1/4 of a household eats 25% individually (for a 5% reduction across a family of 4). Or, does one person eating 5% less cause the other 3 to also eat 5%... if it's the latter, this potentially has health impacts across people who aren't taking the drug.


If the dataset includes household size you could limit the analysis to that subset. Alternatively you could focus on households with lower average basket sizes and hypothesise that those households have fewer adults. Obviously those measure aren't going to be anywhere near perfect but might be informative.
