The first 3D movie I saw I knew it was just going to be a trend. I'll admit, it took longer to die than I expected, but it was inevitable. I'm still not convinced that 3D VR will be the next big thing any time soon. The experience

If you gave me a 300 question health questionnaire on 15 occasions, spaced by several weeks each, you would likely get at least 3,000 unique answers.

Really hard to get proper funding for LDN. It is an already incredibly cheap drug in a minute dose... this treatment is not exciting to anyone except patients and a few passionate researchers. Lots of studies showing "interesting resul

That seems reasonable on their end. I bag my own bags when I bring them from home, always have done so without asking (even before the pandemic).

You may see it as just one methodological flaw but I see it differently. It is an absurd degree of worst case scenario. I would be surprised if the only metric I happened to look into also happened to be the only one with glaring bias injec

If we can't limit GHGs from burning fossil fuels for energy, we aren't going to magic our way out of this situation by producing more junk. How are we going to get it out of the ground, transport it to petroleum processing facilit

Counterpoints: Local supply chains are nice and tidy from an economic and GHG perspective. Landfill fees are expensive, and the city can sometimes sell the compost, use it themselves, and offer excess to citizens to come pick up by the whee

Glass, aluminum, and cardboard are almost always profitable to recycle if the city is big enough to make it worth the infrastructure expense. It's the recycling of plastics that we were scammed into thinking made a difference. It does

I reuse produce bags, ziplocks, sandwich bags, and the like by rinsing them lukewarm water and hanging up to dry, occasionally using a bit of soap as needed. It's a bit of a hassle and there is a likelihood that I am exposing my food t

Color me skeptical. A single organic cotton bag requires 20,000 uses due to ozone depletion? Apparently the researchers chose one specific dataset to determine how much electricity is used for cotton irrigation, and then further assumed tha

Also worth noting that it is strongly in his interest to craft and filter his public dialogue with the interests of the Russian state in mind. It is a basic fact of his existence, whether it is something he thinks about explicitly and often

I think it is astute to look at things in these terms, and avoid the lazy but quite common exercise of labeling motivations and actions you don't understand as "not understandable." George Kennan, who came up in a recent HN p

I think No Country or The Road are much better starting points. McCarthy's style takes some warming up to, especially regarding the terse run-on sentences and his strict lack of punctuation or indication of the speaker during dialogue.

Yes and if the sun blinks out tomorrow that will be the biggest effect of all. Remind me again why that is worth talking about, other than to distract and detract from a discussion of climate change?

40 to 50 years ago most pharmacies were independently owned and operated. Getting swallowed up by grocery stores is the worst thing to happen to pharmacy as a medical profession. It sucks for patients and it sucks for pharmacists. The pharm

As a user of the site who has been falsely assured that your data is "100% secure" and totally anonymous, is that data in fact not your property? Perhaps not in a strictly legal sense, but from an ethical standpoint it is certainl

I understand there has been some progress on this front, but it's not nearly enough. We need stronger protections for whistleblowers and security researchers. Corporations and legislators wont write these laws for us because it's

Freedom of $peech is a broad umbrella. And at least in America, we are incredibly business friendly while being rather cavalier regarding consumer protections. At the same time we are an incredibly litigious society, so you end up with a pe
