This actually sounds like an honest (mis?)diagnosis. Confusing migraine and temporal lobe epilepsy is not a particularly egregious mistake, and the two conditions often occur toget…

Wasn’t one of the early findings of the investigation that Reif had signed a thank you note to Epstein for his donations, and had sat in the meeting where the institute decided fac…

I always assumed that this disconnect was because most domestic u.s. air travel is business related, so that in general, the traveler is not the customer.

There was a lot of strange stuff going on with the FBI in the Tsarnaev case. Agents from the Boston FBI office traveled to Florida and shot Ibragim Todashev and then couldn’t get t…

Ah, where’s the latest orbital data?

This seems like an unlikely coincidence — if I’m reading this other link right, it had been flying over Syria. https://www.heavens-above.com/orbit.aspx?satid=39025 Edit: obviously …

Yeah, aren’t most games single-threaded? I doubt this affects gaming performance very much.

Alternative (and to my mind more likely) hypothesis: poor brain health causes bad decision making and unstable income.

Yeah, the whole problem is that traditional publishing is designed around creating the best experience for publishers, not for authors or audiences. The reference formatting thing …

Except Ito wasn’t the only faculty member taking money from Epstein, and the Media lab wasn’t the only department. The thank-you letter to Epstein that Reif signed was for money Ep…

Speaking of universities that can afford it, did the other university in Cambridge ever complete it’s investigation into Epstein funds?

Does “deceive the integrity” have some specific legal meaning wherever you’re from? I can’t find any hits for the phrase in DDG. What are you trying to argue? I was not vindicating…

I'm not sure why having neurons enters into the equation at all when deciding whether something is conscious. This is a hard question and the Feinberg-Mallatt definition of conscio…

Everyone who wrote and authorized this press release ought to be fired. The paper offers no evidence of relevance to epigenetic inheritance, and has nothing to do with nature vs. n…

Sounds like it's only part of the reason, if I'm correctly parsing "... and the stimulation of gastric motility" as a second mechanism of action.

He may be a crackpot, and this book is not a well-written summary of the literature, but the idea of magnesium levels influencing depression is not a crackpot idea. Magnesium is a …

Animals need cholesterol for their cell membranes; particularly for neurons. It's a precursor for Vitamin D, testosterone, and estrogen and is needed in the blood to help transport…

Sad to see the Soviet complaints about the allies not opening a second front in Europe until 1944 uncritically reported. The allies invaded Italy in 1943.

In the US, the cable tv market is subject to the exact same local monopolies as the isp market; in fact, they are often the same company.

This is a strange way compare NASA's budget size over time. It mostly reflects the out of control growth of entitlement spending, which was only 20% of the budget in the 1960s and …
