I posted this because it had one very relevant statement (to me, since I am one of those who is being advised to take Vit D supplements) from the article:

"So, for the millions of Americans who take vitamin D supplements and the labs that do more than 10 million vitamin D tests each year, an editorial published along with the paper has some advice: Stop.

“Providers should stop screening for 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels or recommending vitamin D supplements and people should stop taking vitamin D supplements in order to prevent major diseases or extend life,” wrote Dr. Steven R. Cummings, a research scientist at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, and Dr. Clifford Rosen, a senior scientist at the Maine Medical Research Institute. Dr. Rosen is an editor at The New England Journal of Medicine."

So if someone wants a “read receipt” they should pay, and the recipient should have the right to receive or not.

That should work to each party’s satisfaction.

What’s the solution if you are Gitlab? It takes revenues to sustain this. Is there a better model?

Yes, can’t we have an email equivalent of social graphs and interaction that can be driven by open standards?

I am sure people have thought about this.

All the Government needs to do is to enforce compliance to such standards.

I am a right hander but use my mouse with my left hand. Why? “Saving my right hand to play tabla (Indian hand drums)”.

In any case, over the years I have become very comfortable using mouse with left hand as a right hander.

I do not fully understand this, but isn’t this the story at the federal level as well?

Nope, the federal level has no term limits. Dianne Feinstein has been a Senator for 30 years.

Even without term limits, laws are written by industry at the federal level (if they are ever written, some years we are just lucky to pass a budget at the federal level).

There is a potential solution: how about an app like fortnite to charge the users 30% more and be transparent about it if they use the App Store to buy? Is that against the App Store TOS? There has to be a way for the costs to be made transparent so users can make an informed choice. It doesn’t have to be these large lawsuits?

That is against TOS.

I am not sure. My biggest driver has been to be in my death bed and having done nothing, having made no difference to the world. So I keep trying.

I like to think that friends and family will look on my works and say "he was a creative man", but deep down I know that those words will only come from a few who already know how to appreciate it.

Therefore, I work to please that faceless few. I am happy with this, because it is nice to be appreciated, but at the same time I cannot help but feel that I am not building something meaningful in my more direct social circles.

It will be drones owned by people, similar to kindles or echos. There is no fleet, no (or very few) drones shot down or stolen.

Every family will have a drone “pet” with sole purpose if delivering Amazon stuff, in this case literally.

Ok, now that we agree this is neat (I am impressed!), what’s the solution?

Google or not, what can help me discover the right recipe, the right content, the right answer to my coding error?

Search algorithms that keep “mutating” even randomly? Ranking system? What?

I fear it's incredibly hard to fight fake content with automated systems. You need the ability to understand the content to determine whether the content is actually meaningful. For that, you need far better intelligence than just some fancy text processing.

You need people, basically. If you want to automate it, you need some way to figure out what people think about that content. This has been tried by counting how many people link to it, or rate it highly, but those methods have also been gamed to death.
