If you look at any neuroscience paper, mice will run 10k a day or more on a wheel overnight. I thought the axis labels were wrong when I first saw that type of study. It’s quite co…

It’s Q2 earnings time so likely people leaving after a quarterly vest.

Please do not make your exhaust louder. I’m sure you will not listen to a rando on the internet but it will annoy the shit out of thousands of people for what? Some yuk yuks? I get…

For what reasons is it better? I’d rather have the evening light than the first 20 minutes when I get up.

I think I just joined an eternal September on your site. It might be nice to add a practice mode that doesn’t spam everyone with nonsense.

That’s irrelevant to the issue with the study that the parent identified.

I’m with you. I generally refuse. There are way too many things that I’d like to use extremely intermittently that beg for recurring revenue. I just opt out for the most part, asid…

Is this real? I spend plenty of time online but have no problem still reading books. I don’t know anyone else who stopped reading books either. I’m 41 so maybe this affects people …

Having lived this reality, people respond to incentives. Your have to very fundamentally re-architect the incentives and career progression in academia to make publication of null …

I think this is different if you have vision though. I struggle to understand how someone can look at intelligent animals that don’t have language and not intuitively assume that t…

This is conflating so many different concepts under one idea of pride. Come on. Yes, humility is also important but it’s a false dilemma and meaningless.

I’m not a designer but I disagree. I want to be able to easily distinguish apps without much focus or concentration or searching. Making them visually distinct with shape and color…

The evocative image is of science destroying America, which is not the point the article is making.

Yes this is the exact opposite of the message conveyed in the article. Terrible graphic and communication for an important topic

Plenty of scientists can and will work in industry roles or quit entirely. It’s already a crazy proposition and should not be made any harder. Finding funding can be a brutal and c…

MKUltra would have been a bizarre horror to experience

I can't disagree with that, myself included. I've gotten MUCH better about caffeine discipline but that's only a start.

That would result in insanity for me. Is there any argument other than it seems like cave people must have?

so this is a price discovery mechanism in an early tranche of tickets?

How does resale help the artist? By inflating expectations for ticket prices for the next show?

Yes I agree. My point was more generally that the discussion around whether other people can tell ignores how one feels themself. I don’t often hear that point made, that you can’t…

That can be the right call (and is the one I would make) but for situations like this, it may be as much about how you think about something yourself rather than how others view it…

I love deeply observing paintings and also love taking a photo while in a museum. It helps me remember the details and review like spaced repetition the things I saw, or spend more…

I suspect you would need much more kinetic energy to get a thermite reaction going than the aluminum powder in a sand blaster.
