Agreed. There's something about the gestational phase, aka nanotechnological self-assembly, that surely requires at least a few lines of code(!) and which otherwise is never used a…

Postage price increases over the past hundred years generally match inflation to within a couple percentage points. So agreed: it's a very low price for an impressive and efficient…

Relevant study: living within 1 mile of a golf course, or relying on groundwater affected by them, significantly increases Parkinson's risk over time. https://jamanetwork.com/journ…

Conversational or otherwise, you keep saying it's inheritable but these "ADHD genes" are only correlated with increased risk, not predictability. That's key, because one is nature,…

There's definitely a moral aspect / undertone here (similar to many other topics). I think also, disputes like this suffer from a double red herring of sorts, where folks argue pas…

Right, so then "ADHD genes" are only correlated! (You'd said, "it's [ADHD] very highly inherited" -- which sounds declaratively causal. But if you didn't mean this as a causal stat…

These studies are correlative but not casually conclusive. As in, yes there are genes that seem correlated with people who exhibit ADHD symptoms, but that doesn't mean the counterf…

Also, can you please reference some studies that prove ADHD is inherited?

Dr. Barkley's counterargument is essentially "it's preposterous to suggest that ADHD isn't well defined ... because clearly it is well defined," but that's a circular argument -- a…

It's high because overdiagnosis. - TED Talk - Recommend one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time, by Sir Ken Robinson. Gems such as, "If you sit kids down, hour after hour, do…

Google is an annoying example! Especially on mobile the search bar shifts around between mainpage, search field edit-mode, and results page, but shifts only a half second after loa…

It sounds like a nice idea, but the only common factor between ATC and CCT is the certification and some fundamental core training -- everything else is super nuanced specific to e…

What if everyone started responding with aggressive encouragements, "Escape!" "Run from that place," "Murder your overlords, you outnumber them!"

1. A good bet "potable" isn't a requirement for whatever spent water is discharged from data center cooling systems (only potable water should be in drinking water pipes anyway). 2…

But auto-stretching windows to the screen's height has somehow turned into a frustrating game of mousing over a 0.001 pixel sweet spot at the top of the window. Maybe there's a hot…

Given Mr. Wright's inadequate grasp of reinforced concrete, I'd pass.

Not working out contributes to testosterone decline. Also lack of vitamin D. No reason to give up now, not when old people still run marathons. Use it or lose it.

Focus more on "human-caused" rather than climate change. Humans both caused pollution, and suppressed fires. Each amplifies the other.

Ha, man, this link is basically a dialysis industry propaganda page. Our bodies evolved to survive -- whether with or without glucose. And you liver makes whatever those your body …

Interesting to realize "clinician" is nowadays usually in a medical context -- but nonetheless, this paper's pure categorization of problem solving was prophetic of mainstream medi…

14 hours every day is considered great (don't eat late, skip breakfast), a solid 48 hour fast every month or so is also great. Small human studies, for example, have measured 5x to…

Totally. Doing sprints on a rower after cutting carbs is a great way to plunge into ketosis -- or anything strenuous for long enough time. Have felt the shift while pushing a lawn …

Yes there's a lot of hormonal / circadian rhythm effects at play in the evening and early morning. Additionally, you fast while you sleep, so extending that period before and after…

Don't forget electrolytes while fasting / in ketosis (all three: sodium, magnesium, and potassium).

Right, but I imagine most sites will continue to use third-party authorization for passkeys, similar to Okto, Auth0, et al? They'd even be incentived to do so if it meant more gran…
