On a somewhat related note, I'd love a set of those pictured sleep capsules at my office. I've taken to running to my car to catch a quick 20 minute snooze during my lunch break, but it's way too bright, I'm uncomfortabl

You and 18 others it seems! I knew putting a link there was a bad idea haha. Yes I certainly was fortunate, but again I don't believe the teaching was especially stellar. From experience working with schools at the moment both grammar

An unfortunate reality but at least that means sleep deprivation only needs to happen 1-3 times a week, not every night like I got used to. The difference between 7 hours sleep a night to 8 hours during the midweek days has made the biggest

I'm of the opinion that the teaching there was decisively average. I had a few that were good, and some that were bad, but no outliers for sure. I've had teachers at college (British high-school) for my A-levels that were incredib

I'm currently reading this book at the moment. The part of it that discusses the disastrous effect of the removal of the biphasic "siesta" sleeping in Spain, versus those that maintain it, had a distinct impact on me. I hones

It was great in hindsight. Sadly the school is a vastly different place than it was 10 years ago when I went. The new headmaster has traded play time for school time, but it's had the opposite effect he's intended by decimating th

I think changing students in classes is fine, provided there is ample opportunity to socialise outside of that. In the UK, schools are largely given free reign on how they organise their day but I was lucky enough to go to a school that pro

Start walking barefoot maybe? You'll stop heel striking and will likely change gait completely. People will also start to think you're loony too, which has it's ups and downs.

“For example, the traditional diet of the Masai was composed almost entirely of red meat, blood, and milk – all high in Neu5Gc – yet they were free from modern inflammatory diseases. (7)” I get why people keep trying to fall back on Price’s

There's growing research to say that eating any meat (specifically red meat) increases inflammation. Among other things, it elevates levels of C-Reactive protein, which the liver makes when there is inflammation in the body.[1] Another

Sometimes I think if the majority of HN had their way we'd be living in a feudal system again, except with right to rule given to Silicon Valley start-up royalty instead of divine-right nobility.

I believe it is entirely possible, but the food trade culture in the West is the issue. There's an attitude of "my competitors' price their food at this point - they likely know better as they were here first so I should pric

Sure. I think meditation has become popular specifically because we no longer just do "nothing" anymore, so people need to now dedicate time to doing nothing, just like we devote time to fitness. Evolutionarily speaking, I imagine

If there's not a breakthrough, I at least hope that countries start to legalise assisted suicide so those like myself that don't want my life to end that way can at least go out in a civilised manner.

I used to make most of my notes in plain-text. Horribly inefficient, but I love ASCII games so drawing all my diagrams in it was fun to me. Just ran some of them through this software and, beside a few formatting errors, they look amazing!

I do extracurricular lessons with schools - teaching engineering through fun experiments and the like. I'm not very deep into the teaching sphere as such, but I think close enough to make some anecdotal observations. Frankly, I have se

I suppose it depends on the quality of sleep. AFAIK, anxiety and depression reduce quality sleep time, which reciprocates itself into worsening anxiety and depression. Undiagnosed issues that cause the depression and anxiety in the first pl

Agreed, which comes back to the question as to why we don't cover vast swathes of uninhabitable desert in said solar panels - and we come back to the root of the issue; carbon lobbying.

Casey Neistat had an interesting take on this in one of his recent videos. He described it as completely fulfilling in all of the components of friendship and community, but without the intimacy, which I think is quite apt. I do believe who

There's a Firefox extension I often used before installing Pi-Hole that would do exactly this on every page. It was called AdNausium. Not sure if it's still a thing, but it was pretty great at obfuscation. By the end of using it I

From watching some videos on the workings of their factory, it still seems like they've automated significantly more than their competitors. They reached for the stars and fell short, but that short is still ground-breaking.
