This is not more convincing because the human body produces erythritol endogenously so high erythritol blood levels may be another effect of the health problems that cause heart at…

Ross Ulbricht will be happy to learn this.

It's the only option that frees you from the effects of someone else's greed.

A plausible mechanism of action is no where near good enough. Molecular biology is crazy complicated and lots of things that sound plausible don't work (and maybe do the opposite).…

Anyone that has ever taken a class in molecular biology or biophysics knows that it's ridiculously complex. Many drugs that look promising in vivo or in animals fail to perform in …

But, but, but this guy I ran into at the park would not shut up about it so it must work. Plus I just like to take neurotoxins. Why would I want to take some fancy new tech mRNA va…

Now this is some cynicism I can get behind. People like to tell other people what to do. Politicians are people so...it's almost like they don't care about their fellow citizens an…

How about they just make the tax laws so simple no one needs a "service" to figure out how much tax to pay? I know, that's crazy talk. Politicians wouldn't be able to carve out loo…

HF is no big deal, haven't you watched breaking bad? Piece of cake, just use plastic containers. What could go wrong?

Interesting read, but I didn't see anything constituting a proof that it is impossible to fix incentives.

How is this better than ansible, salt, chef, puppet, etc.? Once it's automated it's automated, no?

Started playing with Docker because it was the cool new thing, but professionally I get more use out of Ansible > Digital Ocean. Seems like your Geodjango experience had more to do…

> come to the conclusion that a large portion of Americans are idiots Don't need a chart for that.

A healthcare worker I talked to had the opinion that she's getting exposed at work anyway so why not do what she wants outside of work.

Most healthcare is not for life threatening illness. The bigger problem in healthcare in the US is that consumers almost never know how much a service will cost beforehand.

Or we could just insist that healthcare providers tell us the price beforehand like we do in every other market.

This crazy. It's like saying no one should have access to medical tests without a doctor's approval because some people will misinterpret their tests.

I like the idea of enabling payments to content producers based on the amount of time spent on their site. Curious how much this is actually happening. A quick search for "brave pa…

Hard to see how this is different from what Google does. They make money off of everyone else's content too.

That made me laugh.

Agreed, I do not see their "budget" website as sign they lack credibility, I see it as a sign that they are focused on their work.

So the fusion here is where two protons form an alpha particle? They show a proton hitting B11 and generating two alpha particles and another proton. 1 proton + (5 protons, 6 neutr…

Neither of the parties in our political duopoly are hands off.
