I've no idea about the fasting stuff. Just thought its important to make clear this particular study is all about doing stuff to cells or lumps of cells in dishes (again sorry if I…

Well, to be precise- this study shows no evidence of a fasting effect. they show if you starve cells in a dish in a way that might mimic what happens when you fast, you can kill th…

Sure, I can't tell you about white collar folks pissing in bottles, I may have exaggerated there. But in healthcare (for nurses, therapists, aides) its quite prevalent that people …

Long-haul truckers have been doing this for decades for the same reason-- they don't have time to pull over and use the restroom-- and no one is upset about that. I'm sure there ar…

Outside of the firms owned/operated by the real clever boys, I wouldn't be surprised if this describes the vast majority of "AI" efforts unfolding at dozens/hundreds/thousands of c…
