Nope. The 'why' in the title is misleading. They suspect some unknown factors but aren't sure what and whether they can be targeted for anti-ageing interventions.

I can't see a clear conclusion, unfortunately. 'Further study required' as ever. It also seems that 'resilience' to the stress of caloric restriction is key to gaining most benefit but it's not clear exactly wh

Just to add (as I'm sure the contributors are aware) parent comment and grandparent comment are both true. It would be nice if wfh wasn't such a polarised issue.

It's not satire. Ioannidis has a long history of pointing out flaws in scientific processes. (Edit: spelling.)

This highlights the underpinning problem: wages are so low that people cannot afford to live. Restaurant margins are so low they cannot afford staff. Why contribute to that system?

This highlights a problem: you need to be wealthy to have any privacy. Why has privacy become something that is only available to a dwindling few? What price convenience?

They may record what I order (although the cafes and restaurants I go to use pen and paper or just plain-old human memory) but that's it. Even if they enter my order into some system for analytics or what have you, there's no co

There are plenty of comments disagreeing with you, but I'm fully in agreement. As for the arguments that QR codes are somehow a time-saver, they can be a real time waster . Find phone (not glued to my eyeballs), scan QR, swerve option

Goodness me, this is very difficult to read. This article appears to describe some serious academic fraud (highlighting issues with arxiv.org along the way) but it repeatedly buries the lede under the author's haphazard writing style

From skimming the article and papers it references, the suggestion is that the higher the intensity (which seems to be rate of contraction of skeletal muscle rather than heart rate or respiration rate etc) the stronger the effect. However,

Yep! Local stores are 'happy' to refund since they tend to value customers. Megacorps... not so much.

Because the corner store has, in many cases, become a gigantic multinational monster that exploits the authors and the readers.

Some authorities may be legitimate, but a child (for example) may not be able to distinguish those if they find themselves constantly berrated: 'do as you are told'. The illegitimate authorities mask the legitimate, particularly w

Hmmm, kiiiiiinda. But if we declare equivalences without providing any justification, there's little substance: We should look (up|down) to people who (do|don't) have X. It's meaningless. In order to make this

The manual construction of the horno oven for roasting agave for mezcal is a lovely piece of traditional labour, long may it continue. The workers could do with some respiratory protection, though, looks smokey. https://youtu.be&

If you're hungry, surely the evolutionarily 'rational' action is to prioritise eating. That seems to be what's happening, certainly for those lucky enough to be able to control who eats and when.

As per @sanswork's sibling comment, I'd suggest avoiding the issue. The frenzied cycles of web front-end frameworks in particular seem pathological. I made a recent decision to look for a 'boring' technology, landing on

I kinda agree, but I think this itself represents an existential threat. Governments have a history of hard-line policies and intolerance when their populations face low wages and declining standards of living. This leads to isolationism, e
