I grant you that this is a seemingly extreme opinion. It is however my conclusion form thinking about this problem for a long time. I work inside this field, and see people suffering terribly from cancer every day, both physically and psych

This article doesn't quite spell it out, but the current thinking is that the apparent paradox is explained by: 1. Bigger animals have larger cells, so the number of cells does not scale linearly with the mass of the animal. 2. Cells f

Yes. Some of the proteins in the cells would be different to the host cells, due to the exogenous stem cell source. This might be detectable with mass spectrometry (protein sequencing is otherwise difficult and laborious). There might also

Athletes already do this - they collect their own blood and store it and then transfuse themselves to supranormal levels prior to their sporting event. Lance Armstrong did this. Lab grown blood would make this a bit more convenient, albeit

Right, yes this makes sense! I suspect that these short-lived new flavours actually increse sales of the original flavours, since the consumer desires to taste the original again.

When I was a kid, you could buy 4 or so different soft drinks, a few juices and some flavoured milks. Now, the drink fridges take up a whole wall in the store, and there are multiple waters, flavoured waters, sparkling waters, non-sugar sof

For ML to really make a dent in medicine, the whole system needs to be altered, in a similar vein to how building roads tailored to self driving cars would make them much more successful. Most medical diagnoses are only made when severe phy

Of course, nobody who does biological sciences actually believes it is junk.

I like the new image better. The old Hubble image looks like it was generated by Midjourney eg 'Stars being formed in the hand of a galactic titan made from nebulas, mysterious, ethereal, ghostly, digital image, 4K.'

I feel like standups respect each other much more than the audience respects them. Presumably because only other standups know how hard it is to even survive up there, let alone succeed.

Drake never played that game (he couldn’t as a former child star, to your point). His rap songs are largely taking the piss (see HYFR for example) in my opinion. I’m not talking about gangster cred or whatever. I mean, Beyonce isn’t harmles

Kanye's problem is that he is harmless, which is kind of the worse thing a rapper can be.

I don't know the man, but what I see is that he is, ultimately, dissatisfied with his work. There is an effortfulness to what he does that belies an underlying cynicism about comedy. He is a tragic figure in that sense, all that succes

I really would like to know how Qatar got the World Cup… it can’t have been legitimate, it’s just got so many obvious disadvantages… For example, it’s too hot to host it in summer as usual, so it’s in the northern hemisphere winter, which i

The paid sync service is only really needed for the mobile app. Otherwise you can sync the vaults however you like.

Not entirely sure of your use case. You could maybe use backlinks for this. Say have a summary document within obsidian for a work project, and backlink to your existing notes which are relevant. You can even link specific blocks of text in

Forgive me for being brief, Supplementary table 3 breaks down the the baseline food intake, and rice and wheat flour are the top two items. Regarding your second query, the first line of the abstract of the article is: "Overconsumption

Just because it boosts GH doesn't mean you build muscle. Undoubtedly, fasting has positive metabolic benefits, but building lean muscle mass isn't one of them. The studies I have seen about regular fasting and muscle mass generall

This study was in Chinese people who were overweight and were eating a lot of carbs (~300g a day). Presumably this was largely high GI rice. IF made a modest difference. They also lost some muscle mass, as expected. The study tested a lot o

If there are other people in your family with drinking problems, or you have a mental illness, you should probably get professional help with quitting, because the chance of alcohol eventually ruining your life is significantly higher.

Mmm I think renewables could cover it without the need for fusion. I think there is one potentially big issue with renewables though. The supply chain for panels, wind turbines and batteries involves China quite heavily.* This year has been

Most of the problems are with the Academies. They are of course deeply flawed institutions like all human institutions, and generally overrated. But Science isn't merely the Academies.
