Is there any reason why they can't just be installed inside air purifiers/ventilation? Especially since you could probably get more mileage out of the same amount of light energy by forcing the air through a narrower passage, sinc

I would consider it unlikely that airborne germs form a significant input to our microbiomes. For example, the gut microbiome is in flux for about the first 3 years of life, and thereafter it's mostly only the relative abundances of di

Person with severe ADHD here. At least for me, it also helps because many hard activities are not stimulating enough for the effort they require, and persisting through understimulation is HARD.

What is being advocated is not protecting children, it's the establishment of a mass surveillance state that's every single dictator's wet dream, without any understanding of how trivial it will be for criminals to coordinate

Millions, sure. Hundreds of millions? Probably not. And don't forget that a LOT went wrong in Chernobyl, it's literally impossible for another disaster of this magnitude to happen again.

I feel like regardless of all else, the fact of algorithmic curation is going to be bad, especially when it's contaminated by corporate and/or political interests. We have evolved to parse information as if its prevalence is contr

Mostly, yes, but also consider that both were exceptional circumstances that happened to outdated reactors. IIRC Fukushima didn't actually leak enough radiation out to cause any significant environmental harm - quite possibly, most of

You need to look up how much nuclear waste is actually produced. It's a minuscule amount relative to the energy produced, and it doesn't actually need more than to be transported and then encased in concrete.

The overwhelming majority of that advantage comes from sex hormones, not the gene itself. Depending on discipline, most or all of the advantage goes away within several years on HRT. Take that and then consider that this goes even harder fo

Top athletes are essentially by definition genetic outliers, and I'm willing to bet that if you looked hard enough you'd find genes far more important than SRY. This entire thing is just silly. I can see why it might be best to ex

Why assume it's the diets rather than antibiotics? Your gut microbiome develops during the first ~3y of life(including partial heritability from your mother), after which the total set of microbes in it remains approximately constant t

Yeah. Even when it appears and feels thoughtful, there's still no real intent underlying it, and frankly even if there was, the problem with AI output is that it ultimately gravitates towards similar outputs in a way that real human th

Why can't the locomotive pull it from the wires? It's not like it maintains a constant draw with all the speed changes and such.

Honestly, this is essentially BS. I'd say that 95% of healthy weight people stay that weight because their metabolism and appetite works properly. People who stay in shape by paying careful attention to their diet are a tiny minority.

Flat feet are often a problem of foot muscles and posture. Physiotherapy and strengthening your feet can most likely work wonders even if your family has genetic predisposition for the problem.
