Doesn't the AMA serve the medical industry? They don't have to make profits themselves. If a byzantine coding process raises medical treatment costs, they'll do it. Just like how t…

+1. To all of the marketing site developers out there: never mess with scrolling defaults.

I don't know if this is useful for you, but getting my MTHFR and COMT genes sequenced has been incredibly helpful for managing my own mental health. Since getting these results, I'…

Who among us can compare with that colon?

I added 6 mosquitofish to my 110 gallon container pond two months ago. There are now nearly 100 in there, and the mosquito count in my back yard has definitely diminished. Cool mos…

This Web Security lecture by Feross Aboukhadijeh has a great example of Zoom's zero-day from 2019 that allowed anyone to force you to join a zoom meeting (and even cause arbitrary …

The above comment is getting downvoted, and I suspect it's due to a misunderstanding of their intent. Yes, high speeds can make collisions (especially, as another commenter points …

I ordered the KO-II for a friend, after reading about it on Hacker News. I love Teenage Engineering's playfulness and creativity, but was disappointed when the KO-II had quality is…

I haven't seen this mentioned in the comments yet, so I'll mention it here. For the last year, I've seen health pundits (Huberman, etc.) recommend delaying caffeine intake for two …

Someone flashed their lights at me this very morning at around 5:00 am. At first I thought it was because my lights were off, then realized they thought my brights were on. They we…

I've looked at the dishwasher detergents at a few of my local grocery stores, and all of them contain either ethoxylates or "fatty alcohol alkoxylates", which some brief googling t…

Are you sure this data is accurate? By the site you reference, r/nottheonion has ~30 comments a day: https://subredditstats.com/r/nottheonion But if I actually visit the subreddit,…

Your point is a good one - what you're describing I've heard referred to as "the novelty effect". In fact, a lot in this article reminds me of another essay critical of the short-s…

I read the same book, and while it did help me in several respects (nasal breathing, mandibular and maxillar expansion via an orthodontic device, mouth taping), I only used its box…
