Yes magnesium seems to be quit a common deficiency because the heavy use of fertilizer depletes the density of minerals in the food chain. Also magnesium is a very important co-fac…

Probably a joke... nevertheless I had the same reaction ! It exercises your deduction, binary thinking, also stochastic vs systematic methodology (first look around randomly find t…

Yes I remember Dr Bikman saying that and it make sense since it is a form of uncontrolled electrical storm in the brain analagous in that sense to epilepsy. The main theoretical id…

Apparently they play a critical role in neurones (which can have millions of them) not only because the brain is the most energy hungry organe but also because they play numerous p…

Chris Palmer, Harvard Psychiatrist has written a book called "Brain Energy" about the potential effects of Ketogenic therapy. The crux of his theory relies on Mitochondria's health…

I agree and think that's the main point of the story not AI, however questionnable it's usage may be

Evolution indeed gave us fat storage which is one of those traits becoming unnecessary in the post industrial world of abundance. The problem is our body is more adapted to the too…

I heard this a few times in the ruby community by some well known figures like Sandy Metz. Simple example : time related tests can be cumbersome to setup, but if you inject time in…

And maybe we should mention the elephant in the room : the environmental price

I don't know much about the gut microbiome, but it is pretty well established now that the ketones produced by fasting (or diet mimicking it like keto) have a powerful effect on th…

You have a point but that would mean Russia cares about contractual ramifications - not sure about that ! On the other hand blowing up the pipe means giving up on : 1. blackmailing…

> Russia because they could put pressure on Europe. That doesn't really hold because they could just turn off the tap

I can only join the chorus and sing the praises of Ryan Bates. Railscasts was a blessing, I checked his videos almost every day. Sad when he left - spoiler alert, some sort of burn…

Makes me wonder if you have the corollary concept : Social Heating... my feeling is social media has a multiplicative effect on both sides of the thermometer

"that article pretty much nailed it" comment would probably be somewhere in its 29 steps :)

Very impressed to find Jancovici here. I've been watching his intervention for 6 months and I found he has one of the most rational approach to our coming world. It is bleak but no…

on the long term probably, the idea (I have heard from diverse sources) is that only nuclear power can ensure the transition from carbon to sustainable energy in order to avoid to …

Phone for me is an intrusion when it's not very close people. I tend to hate phone as well but if the conventions around phoning changed like, you'd systematically agree through me…

Excellent idea, there's a huge market for new phone management apps it seems, what are we waiting for

I wrote nexter ( https://github.com/charly/nexter ) a few years ago without knowing I was applying the keyset principle (it's not pagination though but a next page library). It wor…

Did that Iceberg rollover when it heard the news today ?

I am biased because I read HN daily and kind of assume everybody does - including the author of the story. Which is silly... Nevertheless I strongly believe in the presumption of i…

Although some of these hypotheses are vaguely plausible I think it is outrageous to lay all the suspicion on a potential victim. I'm not saying we should be naive and take everythi…

I would argue that the more intuitive principle behind composition is the "Single Responsibility" one. Although it is correlative to the idea of 'program to an interface' (aka don'…
