I haven't read his book, so I don't know how much of a kook or grifter I would judge this guy to be, and I'm always dubious about things, but I try to remember that even kooks and …

That's fascinating, I just did some reading on this - I had not known that the basic technique of "mewing" is very similar if not identical to something that's been practiced in yo…

I had a similar experience, with a slightly different approach (mouth tape and a nose dilator) but seemingly similar outcome. I like that you did it just through exercises with no …

I had bad sleep apnea until last year, sleeping 8-9 hours a night and usually feeling tired in the morning. As of the last 12 months it seems to be heald, after I used mouth tape a…

From my perspective, your reply supports the article's point. Yes, the inner and outer circles are paid well. And yes, nothing is completely black and white, there are spectrums in…

I was an engineer in the "outer circle" who quit and lived for four months with "untouchables" in a homeless camp. When I was an engineer I definitely felt the artificial distance …

I don't think this applies to division by zero. But I expect that in general, for most things humans consume, as efficiency has increased, consumption has increased too.

Anyone writing Minecraft in C# would use a struct for the position vector. There's no good reason to frown upon it in this case.

There can be two allocations when you call String.Split, one at the calling site where you create the array of delimiters to pass in, and one inside that creates the String[] to re…

As a long time paid Fastmail user, Fastmail will probably stay as good as it is for longer if we don't tell everyone about it! :)

> "Don't worry! There won't be any permanent damage..." What I don't understand is how we can know that?

I agree that computer literacy is becoming as important for everyone as reading/writing and arithmetic skills. What I'm unsure about though is which specific skills and knowledge a…

> I guess the really right way to put it is -- That's what the google crawler has seen written most frequently -- and assume it doesn't really mean what you or I think about things…

It's not necessarily what google expects you to think , but rather what you are most likely to be searching for . Sometimes people search for content that they might not agree with…
