When I was 18, back in 1999, I had an internship at WRI (Wolfram Research) in Illinois. I'd applied armed only with a library copy of the Mathematica book, so they sent me a CD with Mathematica on it. I made some demo things and got a

The way wikipedia does it is to tie modifications to an IP address when someone isn't logged in. Or at least, that's what they used to do. Maybe something like that would work.

:-) I'm not ignoring it, it's there, it shows the median life expectancy going from roughly 1 up to 6 years. Great. The problem I have is two things: First that most of that gain is from prevention and detection, not treatment. I

You're right in that specific case, I'd love to live 10 times longer, but it's very rare. As an example, here's a random graph showing longevity post-diagnosis from 1971 to 2007 for 9 types of cancer: http://i

I think that's a fair interpretation but that we can make others. It was just the nicest looking of the graphs I found on google images for 'cancer mortality over time' or some query like that. The central point I'm tryi

From your first link, quote: * In 1975, the incidence rate for all cancers combined in the United States was 400 new cases for every 100,000 people in the population; the mortality rate was 199 deaths for every 100,000 persons. * In 2007, t

The typical way is some sort of homemade bone broth, since store-bought broth is usually just colored water. Some people will use zero calorie sports nutrition drinks or some kind of magnesium and/or sodium pill (since it's not ju

I'm sorry I should have said the last _major_ innovation that made any difference. All the things you mention are innovations, they just haven't really changed average mortality numbers, which is what I care about. Edit: the paren

I didn't believe it either until I went and looked at the data (see my other comment). Rates are basically flat for most cancer for the last 50-100 years. Compared with any other chronic disease survivability over the same time, it&#x2

Your mental model of eating-as-a-bucket is broken, but you're not to be blamed since everyone thinks that and it's the official advice from most (all?) governments. The calories-in-calories-out (CICO) model is true in a thermodyna

/r/keto on reddit is a great community to start from. They have a FAQ and so on. For books, I'd actually start with The Obesity Code by Dr. Fung. It's not a keto book but it's very close, and you'll figure out

'60s but yes. The last innovation was the invention of chemotherapy, which I won't tell you about since it's not very pleasant but you can find the whole thing in 'Tripping Over The Truth' by Travis Christofferson.

Not OP, but FYI people do this all the time on /r/fasting on reddit.

Most people feel worst around day 2/3 when transitioning from glycogen to ketosis, after that you feel great. Why should you fast if you eat healthy and have no extra weight? Two reasons: 1) What most people think is healthy is killing

by SteveCoast 10y ago
Most people think (like I did) that because they think a sugar crash is the same thing as hunger. Hunger doesn't feel anywhere near as bad. Once you're in ketosis, which is the 72 hour mark (give or take) of water-only fasting you

If you have Mathematica, the ML is insanely automated and easy to use to prototype with. https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/new-in-10/highly-automat... A Mathematica license is $99 or something.
