You're not explaining how the Sarasvati river evidence, which is radiocarbon dated, does not fully contradict your position. Do you really believe, in good faith, that the most par…

Splitting the argument into two pieces is most concise: 1) Sarasvati river paleochannel radiocarbon dating of Rig Vedic Sanskrit ( I talked about this here: https://news.ycombinato…

I don't think it's fair to dismiss the OIT hypothesis as a Hindu nationalist thing. I wrote some more about it in a comment on this article, but it actually just seems like the mos…

This strengthens the Out-of-India hypothesis for Indo-European languages. The hardest evidence we have is the paleoarcheology of the Sarasvati river. The peak flow of the Sarasvati…

When companies centralized and controlled app downloads, they did it primarily to make more money. Now their greed ends in the loss of real human rights. When America was founded, …

Stress is such a huge killer of productivity and even, at chronic levels, people. We're trying to put a dent in it - Shameless plug, support our Kickstarter! https://getlief.com

Power laws show up in many systems, as the 80-20 Pareto rule, graph theory's "scale-free network", even electromagnetism and gravity.

Connectomics has been using graph theory for a while, but this is cool. Seems like more algebraic topology methods will percolate in (hah!) over time.

This is similar to how the cortex routes information through the 6 cortical layers - a cortical column. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_column )

The best way to cheaply remove CO2 is to plant more trees. The simplest solution is still the best: it requires no new technology, can scale itself when the trees reproduce and is …

Apparently the high frequency alone did not effect brain activity unless coupled to audible or "low frequency" sounds. I wonder if the two frequencies interact to form beat frequen…

The PLOS paper brings up that question, too. Overlapping fields of PRF proposed: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjourna...

I think the concept is that the apparent "acceleration" of distant galaxies is really just their time being slowed down relative to our frame of reference. I wonder if this contrad…

Just got bit by Delaware's corporate name-check service. It only runs during EST business hours. I just want to query a database to see if a name is already taken, thank you..

SXSW tried to host Ed Snowden last weekend via Google Hangouts. The audio has terrible echo whenever he speaks, making his word unintelligible. Can anyone use echo cancellation too…

Congrats Basis!

this uses heart rate, not brain activity
