Tldr: Be honest and self-aware to suffer less in relationships. This is good advice. I would add that romantic relationships are one place where you can benefit from displaying some self-interest and diminishing your charitable instincts. F

Further to this, there is partner selection either directly, or establishing social networks that lead to partner selection. Getting a bunch of young people together who pass some threshold for (generally) favourable behavioural and cogniti

A breakup is always tough but consider yourself lucky it became obvious she was the wrong person before the sunk costs got too high. Often this is not the case. Speaking from personal experience relationships cause a kind of brain damage wh

We’re saying the same thing really. You want to blame every self-interested elite for manipulating the narrative, which I think is a pointless, thankless exercise in outrage farming, despite it. Whereas I think the onus rests on the media o

I actually don't care a nit about what Sandberg and her boyfriend are up to, it is completely immaterial. This story looks like pure muckracking for clicks, pandering to the perverse desire of the public to see powerful women fail. Nor

This story is being spun the wrong way. The real issue isn’t that she tried to quash the story (I mean, who wants their dirty laundry aired in public?), it’s that the Daily Mail lacked the fortitude and integrity to ignore her.

It’s not about repeat heart attacks. The study was in heart failure patients. The main issue is preventing events like exacerbation of heart failure and sudden death. The study looked for a large effect size. That’s totally fine. I think it

I suspect the USA and NATO know a lot more about what is going on than they would ever announce publicly. Although it’s hard to know for sure, it seems like Russia has revealed significant weakness in its military and intelligence services

Acoustic neuromas (almost 100% curable) and glioblastoma (aggressive, very poor outcomes) are quite different diseases. It is unlikely there is a unifying exposure. One technique to unravel this is to perform whole genome sequencing on the

Maybe a self-assembled 3D lattice would have some disorder due to the extra degree of freedom which translates to structural weakness.

Not sure I buy this analysis. I mean, he’s spending $43B dollars. That’s a heck of a jerk move, even just for the time and effort it takes.

> I'd say if the drone works well… Well that’s the point, does it? Without knowing the failure rate and operational effectiveness it’s impossible to say. Maybe 50% of missions fail due to fuel line problems and the camera doesn’t wo

This comment is very black and white for a complicated topic. Personally I think people should have the right to die in a carefully regulated and administered fashion, after they have received appropriate counselling and support. The suppor

This isn’t quite right, elephants do have bigger cells as well, so 1kg of elephant has fewer cells than 1kg of mice. There is also the fact that metabolism shows sub linear scaling with body mass. Geoffrey West has various papers about this

You do realise Russia caused this right? As in, there wouldn’t have been mass executions in Bucha if Russia hadn’t invaded. I don’t much care who did it (ignoring the obvious most likely culprit), the fact is Putin killed those people eithe

The ‘effect’ was zero. This was a randomised double-blind controlled trial, by far the largest of its kind. The story should end here.

First interview about his life story was great. Second interview was quite different. He kinda brags about being a hotshot hacker and claims to own $7 billion in bitcoin. The latter point is plausible based on the first interview, but why w
