I've no idea about the fasting stuff. Just thought its important to make clear this particular study is all about doing stuff to cells or lumps of cells in dishes (again sorry if I missed more involved model system in the paper). Whe

Well, to be precise- this study shows no evidence of a fasting effect. they show if you starve cells in a dish in a way that might mimic what happens when you fast, you can kill the cells. I didn't see any mention of even mouse studie

this isn't how chemotherapy works. traditional chemo targets rapidly dividing cells in the body: cancer, hair/skin, intestinal lining cells. That's why you get those side-effects.

+1! New go-to for suggesting there's evidence you're about to have a bad time.

I wonder at how this would vary across industries and also company sizes. I'm surprised the study had positive results at a relatively large firm. I think its easy to imagine working-from-home gains in small firms and startups where

I'm currently using Asana for task management. I guess the only upside is that I can share tasks with my wife, but its clearly not really meant for just single person management. Has anyone tried both taskwarrior and asana? Any obvio

The proteins that organize DNA, called histones, can be chemically modified in a variety of ways. The modifications have the effect of turning on/off stretches of the DNA simply by modifying its physical structure (the way the dna is
