YAUT!
I thought we hadn't had a "hidden word" clue for a while - but I also thought it might last longer than four minutes ...

62 is way too young for anyone to die.
WTF does this actually mean? Quote: Moolenaar had died two days prior because of a rapidly spreading medical condition
People in their quest for privacy...
Just state in plain English what the actual F he died from.

But, we have very few laws around consumer privacy and are intentionally treated like a product. So, if we want to live let's make it hard... but it's cool to exploit you for money.
About the worst thing I can think of from embarrassment, etc. is saying homedude died of a compound effect of 34 STIs, but is that really embarrassing? He'd be a hero IMO.

Even if he died of AIDS or syphilis or even something embarrassing, it has beneficial impact to the world to know what he died from.
I am all about privacy, of course, but knowing the exact cause of death should not be private; it should be public knowledge, IMHO.

Well, the hospital should track that data and have it anonymized.
I say this knowing nothing about the process. But, it's the Internet so I must pretend I'm an expert.

Isn't that true for every death, not just for celebrities? I am quite sure that you will benefit from knowing the reason for me ceasing resource consumption, the day it happens (or shortly thereafter).
We really should start a movement to create an international archive covering the entire human population of all history, where anyone will have access to the reason of death for any currently and in the future deceased human being. Maybe it could/should be extended to pets as well.

What a private citizen died of is NOYB really, unless he/she wanted the public to know.

Perhaps such a level of dedication to his "hobby" is admirable, but being stupid enough to catch 34 STIs certainly is not.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

This is a question we should all take very seriously because it's no joke that excess deaths have risen alarmingly for all age groups in the last 2.5 years.

I hate this kind of news too. If I die from colon cancer, or pancreatic cancer, so be it, let people know. Why should it be kept secret? Being open is good so other people can be more wary, which diseases kill people the most, and have that part of their body checked.
I hate it when I read 'rapidly spreading serious medical condition' bla bla bla..

Is there anyone here who works on systems that print food labels. The specific ones I'm thinking about are small sachets of soy sauce, or the labels printed for in-store, freshly baked bread.
The labels that are 90% whitespace with 2pt high text that you almost need a microscope to read.
The trend of unreadably-tiny-font-on-an-area-that-could-accomodate-a-billboard seems to have been increasing in the past few years and I would love an actual reason for it.
My guesses
- They don't actually want you to read the labels. They package the raisin bread with the whole grain bread in the same exact package, label, tie, everything, with the only difference being the teeny tiny words that allow you distinguish, in the mood lighting of the bread department, what it actually is. It makes shifting unwanted inventory easier
- They have software that can't scale a font to make it fit the space, and also have to cater to labels that are potentially 1024 characters long, so they take space / # chars = microscopic font. Problem solved!
- Someone in accounting worked out that based on font size, total chars printed, total number of labels, and the cost of ink, they would save $5.47 each year if they printed in 2pt font size.
- No one involved from label design to product creation to printing to stocking has ever actually tried purchasing a product printed like this in an actual store. To save time and money they did zero usability testing
- They are simply evil.
Can anyone shed some light here?
cheers

They're all young developers with good eye sight.
As you get older the fonts needed goes from small to nana-vision...
