Related: I'd take steroids if I could do it legally under the supervision of an endocrinologist, with products that have all the audit-trails of modern pharmacology (rather than "Bob's basement grow juice"). But the alte

I don't see how you can solve the 'financially illiterate people [will be led] astray' with some other metric. Profit is similarly useless without context (e.g. Is this reoccurring, or one-time?). Giving all the metrics you m

I don't think that's true. If you have revenue from thousands of purchases, and lots of revenue, you have an avenue to reduce costs as your pipeline matures. It's not the only number you should care about, but it's hardl

Let me repeat my question: """ The question is, why do you think they take 'extra offense'? What about the structure of their lives would train them to recognize offense? """

Great point! The question is, why do you think they take 'extra offense'? What about the structure of their lives would train them to recognize offense? Also, why is the solution 'women and minorities need to toughen up'

I had it the first time I switched my diet. Headache, low energy, mild body-ache. I'm currently a non-strict keto-er, which means I'm really just a high-fat, low carb eater. I think consensus on 'keto-flu' is really just

Agreed. Many schools (my kid's school) also provide 'weekend packs'. It's hard to know how much of that gets to the kids, but poverty is a hell of a problem.

> However, we have to ask if the school-lunches provided are indeed better than a bag of Cheetos? I think that we can answer that question with a fairly emphatic 'yes'.

You can make delicious hash browns with just potatoes, salt, and butter. Yes, you have to keep it from burning, but it's not that hard, you just use a lower temperature. The result is delicious and crisp. It's not the only way (Ho

I think everyone with two monitors has lamented the lack of a 'focus-follows-eyes'. The problem is that you are often reading from window A while typing into window B. So you'd have to be able to switch in and out of ffe. And

One of the things that makes cyclists safer is having more other cyclists on the road. I'm happy to wear my helmet, but if others don't, I just want them on the road. In aggregate, we'll all be safer, even though some will ch

I have a BGE as well! I got the steel plate-setter for searing and it's incredible. But TBH, I often just use a skillet and our stovetop for finishing.

Agreed, that book is great. I keep pushing off getting a real sous vide setup because the cooler is 'good enough'. Last year I went to a fancy steak house in Las Vegas, and my thought was that I prefer my own steak. I was surprise

I have no way of even beginning to address a comment that claims that we hire on talent. That's just false. Regardless of where you are on the 'women in tech are victims of sexism' dimension, you can't seriously claim th

I wonder how you would study that question (about how much freedom results in optimal happiness across the population). I'd be surprised if it evenly resolved into even thirds.

Pain doesn't easily divide up in to long-term and short term. What do you call someone who typically manages their pain with tylenol and mental techniques, but sometimes has to use opioids to make it through the day? Many people with c

by Afton 9y ago
That's just not true. Opioids are a standard part of pain management. There are plenty of people who will be taking opioids as a breakthrough pain management technique for the foreseeable future. That makes it quite different from a &q

This seems like a strange argument. Suppose that the creators created some simulation. This argument would apply equally no matter which simulation parameters they choose. Is there more here I'm not getting?

After a few weeks, if you don't address your postural issues, you'll discover that you can have terrible posture on a yoga ball just as easily.

Pretty sure the causation worked the other way, but it's hardly a repeatable experiment in my case.

It's not that it does, or doesn't exist. It's that the whole common sense notion is literally incoherent.

"100% sure it's safe" That's not a thing. Life is risk assessment.
