I understood it as "do the bad habit, regret it, do a new good habit right afterwards." The aim is to rob the bad habit of whatever reward is attached to it and mentally transfer the reward to the good habit instead.

There are a few open-literature papers already on how a submarine's wake might show up in analysis of surface patterns. Doesn't seem hard to imagine that the classified literature is a few steps ahead.

Great article and a really interesting history of the company. I first heard of FitBits (and activity trackers in general) while working in Singapore in 2010; I met up with a hacking group that had a few FitBit enthusiasts. I had no idea un

I feel like a step is missing. How does one go from having access to Slack channels to exfiltrating scads of sensitive data? Did they impersonate the software development manager in order to steal credentials? Did Disney integrate their sen

Falcon 9 rockets burn RP-1, a hydrocarbon fuel, so the oxygen is being converted to CO2, and CO as well as H2O. [1] Beyond that, I don't think the direct comparison of mass is definitive. Much of the rocket's fuel is expended at l

Coal and gas are major domestic industries and major export earners for Australia, so for a very long time it was a) political suicide to do anything that undermined them and b) simply way too expensive to bring nuclear power into the basel

wasn't there some kerfuffle years ago with a Mercedes exec getting arrested at a traffic stop? Something about an invalid or missing passport and a program targeting undocumented immigrants driving in Alabama.

Where does the leverage lie with breaking down ISP monopolies? Is it a product of regulation at the municipal level, or state laws, or federal regulations? It doesn't seem like a situation that's going to be improved by consumers

I use the notes app on my phone and I'm also split between two calendar apps and three email accounts, none of which integrate well with each other. It's a real dog's breakfast of a system and while I forget few things, I pro

I activated that 30-day snooze for months in a row. I no longer even have that option. Others I've showed it to still have it, so either I'm part of an A/B test, or I exceeded my fiscal year allowance of browsing my actual fo

That's not too far off, actually. Airborne radar as recently as the F-14 needed time to "settle down" an extrapolated track after maneuvering, to the point that they could give false indications of targets changing heading. T

Nice work and nice writeup. It's interesting to me how strongly the design of original radar displays anchors the project. Your toddler might never interact with a real CRT, much less an ASR-9 with a PPI display. But you've gone t

Gene therapies are being priced according to the annual costs of treatments they replace, not the cost of producing the gene therapy product or the value of the cure to the patients. For example, Hemgenix is a gene therapy for hemophilia. I

FWIW this publication is The New Yorker, not the New York Times, and the linked article didn't have any sort of paywall or preview feature when I clicked through. I don't think trying again will bring you any joy, though, since no

If you live near a coast or lake, see if there's a Polar Bear Club or other cold-plunge group nearby. The social aspect can be helpful in several ways.

As anecdata rather than a commentary on the article's results, I find that a 10-min cold plunge produces up to 2 hours of elevated mood and energy. I think there's a decent dataset out there to back this up as a long-period increa

There doesn't seem to be any clear signal in the data. Maybe with a higher n than 10 a multimodal distribution might arise. At the very least I'd be interested to know if all the participants had done cold plunges before or if the

The guidance systems had to account for local variations in gravity as the missile flew to its target. One of the reasons ballistic missile accuracy improved so much was that measurements and mapping of these local anomalies improved so muc

Interesting, I wouldn't have expected it to be a self-serve option. Not unless it's one of the refrigerants with much lower warming potential. If you're not comfortable sharing the specific country, which continent are you on

They're definitely potent but I don't know how the total emitted mass compares to CO2, or how their atmospheric lifespans affect the impact. I would bet the information is out there and has already been analyzed in IPCC reports or

That was the first impression I got from the story too. But I didn't think it was correct so that's why I went looking for clarification. The mechanism of release for refrigerants to the atmosphere seems to mainly be escape during

Regarding the greenhouse-gas emissions of air conditioners, it's more than just the induced demand for power generation (which in Egypt still depends heavily on fossil fuels [1]). I was a little bit surprised by that callout in the sto

Unless the landing aircraft is a Concorde or Tu-144, there's no need for a camera system. Pitch attitude on approach does not cause the nose to block out the runway. Yes, the nose is high in the the moment of flare, but a) the nose of
