It’s a study with Walter Willett and Frank Hu, who are probably the most highly regarded nutritional researchers working in the field.
Here’s a great video about how these researchers are using big data to reveal insights into nutrition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8JQtwLNKXg

This isn’t entirely true. The US does pay more for drugs but a lot of this money isn’t spent on research. In fact pharmaceutical companies spend far more on advertising than research:

Nutritional studies are notoriously difficult to conduct. You either have to isolate subjects and monitor everything they eat and when. Or you have to rely on self reported data and people do an atrocious job of tracking food, estimating portion size, etc.
This study did the former:
> The duration of the study is 7 days including 3 days with controlled diet and 4 days (including 5 nights) in a metabolic chamber at the Institute of Nutritional Medicine at the University of Hohenheim.
I imagine it was prohibitively expensive to have more participants.

With the way that Apple prevents you from reusing Apple IDs, does it mean that if my Apple ID is [email protected] and I migrate mydomainname.com (currently using G Suite free) over to iCloud that I can't set up [email protected]?
Ask HN: How many bytes are in a kilobyte?
This topic came up recently at work and I had always considered a kilobyte to be 1,024 bytes. However, SI seems to differentiate between a kilobyte and kibibyte (the latter being 1,024 bytes):https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.htmlI'm curious how other developers define kilobytes/megabytes/etc.

I think you miss the point of the article. It's not that technology destroys jobs but that in the next century, technology could potentially destroy jobs at a faster rate than it adds new ones. That would be an unprecedented event in American history.
