This is clearly propaganda from someone trying to get promoted in front of me....

I think the cultural stance in the U.S. that to progress in life/elevate oneself/stigma against forgoing college is also a large part of it. I personally think that one policy that…

OP was making a comment about efficacy of water fasts; to compare water fasts to meth is pretty wild.

This reads a little like the early days of self driving car optimism or factory roboticizing. Everything looks so easy with an easy rollout, but enjoy the long tail. To me, car com…

I'd love for that to be true, but there's a good chance that in doing broad tests you are incurring costs (both to patient health and cost [whether paid by patient, gov, or insuran…

Problem: most iconic and central street in SF has rampant problems. Solution: go elsewhere and add regulations to hotel rating about the surrounding area?? I'm sorry, but that is o…

I wonder about World of Warcraft and can't help but think its success and place in our culture can't be replicated for a variety of reasons: -It had a very popular RTS game series …

IDK about this article. I was reliably informed earlier today by a front page article that was certain that a gut bacteria's most important job was to do nothing. (I apologize for …

Relevant plug for Lichess mobile app (I am not affiliated). It's a free chess app that allows for rated play against opponents. Tens of thousands of concurrent games. No ads or pay…

Start-up/Consulting idea: use ML/RL strategies and tools and help gaming companies improve their AI. In a variety of games, the AI should be a big component of gameplay (all single…

Where's the meaningful action against ISP's? In my opinion, ISP monopolies and collusion cause orders of magnitude more consumer harm than FAANG by a lot. If one is truly intereste…

I sincerely do not intend this observation to be overtly political, BUT I've often wondered about certain very progressive movements having their logical extremes come into conflic…

I wonder how much of this rate is affected by patients who try immunotherapies have failed frontline treatments and then try an immunotherapy later.

I mean, this is not a good look from Facebook for the "oppressed conservative Christian minority" to be a false narrative.

How you could stop the greed of someone wanting to sell those treatments to the mass market? I imagine Mark Cubin (or any other "shark" billionaire) would fucking love to be the fi…

"Death by natural causes" induced by age include alzheimers, cancer, heart disease, strokes, etc. natural causes are just diseases that medicine isn't great at truly treating, ofte…

This point 100x times. I am more paranoid about COVID than most people are because I have an autoimmune disease (which is mild and seems to not really affect outcomes). While my au…

The spice must flow

People who decry climate change as a crisis but are not willing to confront the use of nuclear power lose large amounts of credibility in my opinion. Full stop.

Social media has immediate, physical (dopamine levels while presenting a mental phenomenon are also a physical reality) consequences immediately upon consumption. There are no grea…

I agree that wage growth is stagnant but I think the changes over the last 20 years of real median wages is definitely meaningful. Look at the changes from peaks in 2000, 2007 and …

not OP but the point I believe is that while only portions of the population will be exposed to COVID over smaller time ranges like 4 months. Given that the disease is seemingly en…

I'm unfamiliar with the debunking of starship video, but what's there to "debunk"? Spacex is trying to build new rockets. Either the rockets fly and land, or they do not. Either th…

Chinese belt and road projects are notoriously opaque but often have China bringing the financing, labor, and infrastructure. Foreign companies are often largely left out. The peop…
