Could it rather be that genZ are risk averse and choose not to volunteer to be shot at? Or even that they have greater moral concerns than earlier generations? (No judgement on tha…

Unlikely to be a popular question in this forum but in my view the most important topic we need to reflect on is “are we really better off with these services?” - obviously at face…

Genuinely curious- In what sense is the risk calculated? I understand that the leverage factor is known but fundamentally isn’t this still just a bet that eth will rise? And if it …

This would be totally necessary for a robust conclusion-trust me, the social cues of having PD are not subtle ;)

The associated paper is excellent and available on open access here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-34667-x

This seems consistent with research from the University of Alabama that demonstrates substantial differences between Parkinsonian gut microbiome and control subjects- very plausibl…

It’s not the winning, it’s the taking part

Surely this can’t be justified as a ux driven “oversight” - I am not an economics professor but I would be feeling totally sketchy if I manipulated a data source in such an apparen…

Adjacent to this, I recommend reading (and perhaps even sharing with your parents) “Being Mortal” by Atul Gawande. It is a masterpiece on the reality of aging and what is important…

It seems relevant to me that the English themselves are actually a good mix of Vikings, Romans, French, Germans and Celts (and some other stuff no doubt) - so to advocate for just …

From experience of NZ quakes, wooden buildings seem to survive well. Aside from the flexibility of wooden vertical load bearing posts, the typical weather board / external wooden s…

No, you’re right - as an earlier comment said, the red zone roads are not maintained anymore since the area was demoed and they are currently pretty munted. I can’t say that the re…

Interesting to note that the street view is pre demolition so all the buildings you see are now gone - street view ghosts.

I’m pretty familiar with the area- one of the more unique parts of the city is the “red zone”, a recovered area which became uninsurable due to the changes in the assessment of lan…

I think I have a basic understanding of the underlying “likely next word generation “ paradigm of gpt but what puzzles me is how does the system form an apparently coherent/ persis…

Thanks- did do a search before posting but (to my surprise) I only found 1 of the earlier posts. On investigation this is because I searched the https:// url of the article. Note t…
