Not specific to the CPG realm, but I've had some very good luck working with the OpenAPI-devtools Chrome Extension[1] (previous discussion here on hackernews[2]) to discover the underlying APIs of various sites that I want to scrape data from.

My knowledge on this is limited, and US-specific, but I'd imagine the situation in Europe is similar... In the US, publicly traded companies are subject to a lot of laws that private companies aren't subject to, most notably being required to make periodic public disclosures about finances and (to a more limited extent) business plans. Making false statements on these required disclosures is a crime, even if not intentional. The majority stakeholder might've done the math and realized that it's cheaper to buy out the other shareholders than it is to continue making those disclosures and risking criminal prosecution.

I can recommend GoAlert for this... It works really well!

Another similar tool I've used in the past is GoAlert.

A few things this article misses:

- In healthy people, excess iron is not absorbed in your small intestine and is passed along with other digestive waste.

- There are actually three HFE genes.

- Hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. You need two defective copies of the HFE genes in order to be affected. This can be one defective copy of two genes, or two defective copies of the same gene. Some unlucky people have two defective copies of each gene.

- The HFE genes are almost exclusively found in people with British and Irish heritage. You should really only be concerned about HFE-related Hemochromatosis if your genetic background has a strong connection to the isles. There are other genes found elsewhere that can cause Hemochromatosis though.

- Ferritin is the body's way of packaging the reactive iron atoms into a less-reactive molecule for storage (in your liver, brain, kidneys, gonads, heart, pancreas, and joints) and transport.

- The article fails to mention the actual, known symptoms of hemochromatosis: chronic fatigue, liver problems, low sex drive, arthritis.

- The treatment for hemochromatosis is diet management, regular ferritin checks, and the occasional phlebotomy.

The wikipedia article can go into more depth:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemochromatosis

As always: I am not a doctor. If you have medical concerns, see a doctor. If you're particularly concerned about if you have hemochromatosis, talk to your doctor about your concerns and if a CBC with differential and ferritin test is right for you. If you're concerned about passing on a defective gene to your child, talk to your doctor about a referral to a genetic counselor. Mail-in genetic tests are not meant to diagnose or treat any disease.

See. a. DOCTOR.

In my case it was because we weren't making progress towards turning a long list of symptoms into a diagnosis, compounded with some rather ill-informed and slightly offensive remarks about LGBT people and HIV/Aids.

I clicked on Cantonese as well. Their "alphabet" is just a bunch of Hanzi with Mandarin Pronunciations next to them.

There's also YunoHost, a project with similar goals. I've played around with it, but it seems to be beta quality. https://yunohost.org
