These ‘X % of cancers are due to lifestyle’ statements are an extrapolation from observational data we know is confounded and are an overestimate for sure. What they mean by ‘lifestyle’ isn’t even consistently defined, and thus has no predi

This is probably a good thing. HN discussions about geopolitics are usually poor. But I share your curiosity on the seeming lack of discussion, or on another level, organisation. I feel disturbed by Russia indiscriminately murdering people,

I had persistent problems with mouse jitter on just one external monitor with the M1 Air. The problem was fixed with betterDummy. I mean, this is pretty disappointing, and wasted a lot of my time. Lucky the M1 macs are so good in every othe

I think Putin is getting ahead. It is plain Russia made a half assed attempt to take Ukraine, hence the relatively mild events so far. They will just raze the whole country if they have to, and fearsome modern weapons allow this without get

I believe that from the gestalt of human history and culture emerges a sublime grace. This grace will save us from perdition. That is all. https://www.websters1913.com/words/Grace

It’s the Russian curse, lots of potential but truly terrible leaders.

Reminiscent of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) [1] where there were and are ongoing patent disputes for the last 30 years. The highly esteemed Eric Lander, founding director of the Broad Institute, who recently got turfed out of the Whi

I wouldn’t use the word desperate. This campaign seems to have been planned out over a decade or more and carefully timed if you ask me. Observe how the new German leadership can’t bring itself to block SWIFT access in winter after recently

Yes this is it isn't it, it is clear how much the motivation matters in the case of Wordle. As it does, in a converse sense, for the games trying to extract as much money as possible from the user.

Well doing it successfully for complex human traits is not the same as breeding fatter pigs.

The technology to do this is... a long way away. It seems to me that human potential can be better realised in many ways, and eugenics is the way with probably the worst return on investment. For a start, we could try giving as many kids as

There is a lot of interest in the stock market currently. Individual investors (‘retail’) have been buying a lot of stocks in the last 12 months. Some would say this is typical behaviour before a crash. Business people become folk heroes (

Another aspect of this is the problem of aspiring to some goal other than actually doing work... for example, having a large and impressive note graph, or making content (youtube videos, blog posts etc) about note taking. I'm always in

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, or what your conception of advanced cancer is. There are relatively few people with advanced cancer who could be considered healthy or would consider themselves that way. This is what I

There are specific situations where probiotics can be helpful - antibiotic induced diarrhoea for example, prevention of traveller's diarrhoea is another.

Same analysis applies. Smaller tumours are easier to cure. Cure means eradicating every cell. That is why chemotherapy is given in cycles, to achieve fractional cell kill until there are no cells left to regrow. Prolonging life in advanced

This is just my opinion, but cancer is my day job. Treating, let alone curing, advanced cancer is very difficult. Just look at the numbers - a human has about 6 trillion nucleated cells. A cancer 1cm3 in size has a hundred million cells in
