It may make someone eat less overall over time, as satiety seems to be decreased. There is quite a literature on the topic.

It is much more than just saliva.

> Of note, and correct me if I am wrong, but isn't n30 the minimum for statistical significance? (even though n30 is still laughably low, and id prefer n3000) It depends on the size of the effect, among other things. Maybe you are t

I just want to point out that there is no reason to be concerned by a steep rise in blood sugar unless you have a metabolic disorder. I steep rise in blood sugar is what you probably want from your food. Even with a metabolic disorder, the

I wouldn't say that the parenthetical in the comment you are responding to is correct: > Doesn't this suggest that if you want to eat a lot of food but don't want to absorb too much of it (i.e., are concerned about weight

This seems rather inconsiderate of all the people who would like to have children but decide they can't or shouldn't because of the cost.

> No one cares until it’s their problem. I mean, someone cared because we used to have a stockpile. What's wrong with the government today compared to decades ago?

A note to the author: the phrase "first tense" should be "first person". Overall, this seems to be a very laborious process for something not that useful. I'm glad you and the people you've given notes to seem

That is what the comment is saying: will this work like one of Musk's "successes" or like one of Musk's "failures".

Does HN have higher standards? Maybe different standards, but I don't know that when it comes to reading the article that HN is much better than Reddit.

A lot of those biodegradable containers you see are coated in short chain PFAS/PFOA which build up over time in the ground and end up in the water (and maybe plants) and then give you cancer.

Korean gets about 60% of its vocabulary from Chinese: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Korean_vocabulary This is why many of the words sound Chinese (and a particularly old version of Chinese).

HN is on the internet, no? Also, HN definitely has a particularly bad headline-only problem, or maybe it just shows worse than some other places because people here have a tendency to ask really basic questions that the article clearly answ

There are "non-scientists" who are doing this too, though they aren't highlighted by the article. Zayner: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-25/one-bioha... . Justin Atkin: https:&

I understand that religion is a part of daily life for many, many Chinese. I do admit that I don't know that much about China except the little I have learned from reading and talking with people. I've been mostly asking about the

The phrase Sinicization of Islam is Xi Jinping's, or at least the CCP's. It does sound grand and oppressive, especially when you consider that it is about more than just a considerate plan to minimize the threat of violent sects o

Some of the buildings are very clearly used as detention centers. They've been confirmed by journalists, for instance. Not all are proven to be camps and just look like they could be. (I don't know why China would need so many gua

by James_Henry 6y ago
The BuzzFeed articles don't show hardly any current pictures of the camps. And it doesn't seem that hard to believe that the detainees would most of the time remain indoors being de-radicalized and re-educated. The guards would be

I'd like to ask, do you pretty much believe your option A? If so, what do you think of the Buzzfeed News investigation and reporting? Also, do you thing the re-education of Uighurs and others is the right thing for the Communist Party

by James_Henry 6y ago
That's my guess. Also, I think there are some jumps in the severity of things in your examples that probably come off as bad faith. Your list is not quite as bad as A. Just helping the Uighurs, but maybe not in the best way. B. Just ki

One issue that might come up using this with languages that don't use the Latin alphabet is that you can sometimes choose how to romanize your name, a popular one being Yoo-jin in Korean but choosing to romanize it as Eugene. This webs

There is a shortage of truly random easily sampled noise though.

If it can't be trivially repeated, then you should publish what you have with an explanation of how you got it. Saying that "the researcher should just rerun the analysis" is not taking into account the fact that this could b

No, you should publish this research and be clear with how it all worked out and someone will reproduce it in their own way. Reproducibility isn't usually about having a button to press that magically gives you the researchers' re

Definitely makes you question it more. Does the paper not explain the contents of the MATLAB code? That's all that is usually needed for reproducibility. You should be able to get the same results no matter who writes the code to do wh
