Startups don't have as rigidly defined team boundaries. It wouldn't be uncommon for people to take up tasks and responsibilities that would fall under some other team with a different manager.

In larger corporations, teams are insular - members aren't rewarded for doing work outside of their domain, and would be punished for letting another team do their job. Some members are so indoctrinated that they won't respond to any communication outside of their team, unless it's through their own manager.


I interpreted the comment as a general statement about risk, not about alcohol specifically. Always trying to reduce your risk from bad things to zero is not a great way to live.

Lots of things will increase your risk of cancer, like preserved meats, sitting in car traffic, and sunlight.


NIH would define this as "heavy alcohol use". According to their estimates, only 5.5% of adults did this in the past month:

(Search for "Prevalence of Past-Month Heavy Alcohol Use")

Some interesting stats in there. Like only 85% of adults have drank ever in their lifetime.


Apple has updated the page to list the Series 9 as supporting WatchOS 27.

Have you tried the Accessibility setting "Reduce Transparency"? Apple tends to hide too many things there.

> When a customer orders the same suit in two or three sizes, “it’s a red flag,”

People have been doing this long before GLP-1s since clothes sizing is so opaque. Clothes drop-shipped from China often fit ludicrously small but American brands fit ludicrously large. Product reviews now have metadata for the fit: "True to size"/"Fits small"/"Fits large". And increasing tolerances for clothes, to achieve faster production, means that the same item in the same size can fit completely differently.

If I can try on and buy something in a store, I will do so.


Maybe clicking that button unlocks an even higher unc tier.



Are there any numbers on addiction? That seems like a separate issue than its public visibility, which seems like it flouts the existing rules on both alcohol and cigarettes.

That's a lot of em dashes.
