Are the results of WGS + analysis with promethease more insightful than the results of 23andMe?

I often put a song on repeat for a day or two. When I hear the song later, it's linked to the place I was at and the work I was doing at the time. For example, 'Strobe' is linked to waking up early and working in a coffee sho

I believe that this 'spectrum' definition has diluted the meaning of other conditions as well, with ADHD/ADD being one example. Pretty sure anyone can get diagnosed for ADHD these days.

Sounds like an anxiety disorder more than a technical issue, if you have a CS degree you would most likely not have trouble with easy problems given a clear state of mind.

I always assumed that this had to do with antioxidants in grapes and nothing to do with alcohol itself. That's not so far fetched to me, but why not just drink grape juice?

Sort of unrelated, but I feel like Microsoft's behavior lately has been kind of fishy. I don't understand all the self-promotion, and I don't see it nearly as much for other tech companies. Is repeating 'intelligent clou

Yes, if the fine is 40% of my yearly income.

This is not evidence, charges were issued years ago based on past behavior. Until there is a decision made, why should Google change it's behavior? My view on this situation is that regulators should decide if such bundling is allowed

Show me the evidence that Google was warned about this practice and refused to stop for a long time. I have a really hard time believing that they wouldn't take action in response to warnings if they knew that 40% of yearly profit was

How is Google holding consumers hostage and not Apple? Honestly, for the value that Android gives phone manufacturers I am surprised that Google's requirements were so low. Android gave the phone manufacturers a platform and asked for

I am not claiming that the law was unjustly carried out. Google must have had the chance to plead their case. The question is rather, "Should this law exist?" The answer is no. A law which allows this magnitude of a fine for the b

I'm also in my early 20's. I think children are by nature more impulsive, and if they have access to Netflix at a young age without enough parental restrictions they might start down a bad path. When they're older it's e

You're joking, but I do wonder if you can speed up fetal development in some way.

I hardly ever watched TV, but found myself binge watching Netflix. The on-demand model is so much cleaner than regular TV where you have advertisements being shown for almost 1/3 of the time. In fact, I liked Netflix so much that I can

Your eyes can only look at one screen at once. I find that a laptop + some key commands to switch between applications and windows of the same application is roughly equivalent to multiple monitors and just leaving everything open.

What a shame, back in the day people used to have odd numbers of children.

I know what it's saying, but I don't agree that 'convincing yourself that luck isn't relevant is one such cognitive distortion that is a very helpful way of guiding your actions through life.' We can all put our big

To summarize, the link says that luck is real but you are better off thinking that it isn't real since that will affect your behavior in a more positive way. Still not sure I agree in this case (you can think luck is real bit still beh

I could never get into Taleb for some reason. Am I the only one who thinks his writing is extremely long winded?

Bad Blood is crazy stuff. Stayed up reading it last night after seeing the recs here. Not sure what I learned other than people are carried away easily, but it was very entertaining.

Yeah, I don't understand how cyclists can put so much trust in every single car that drives by them. All it takes is one distracted driver and you get serious injury or worse.

The main change I would make to affirmative action would be considering factors like location, family income, etc that better represent a person's situation. But race, while not perfect, often captures these factors. They already consi

Heh. I mean decent for someone who has the skill to pull lots of VC money. They are probably good at rising up the ladder in some company, that's a reasonable upper management salary for them there.

Again, results depend on the person and effort exerted.

If that were actually true, no one would train for the SAT. It's a simple test easily trained for, not some ideal measure of aptitude. It's not about race. You want people with diverse upbringings because they will do different th

I used to be anti affirmative action. Then, I met a lot of students at a similar tier school who were basically shoved there by their parents. Little original thought or unique qualities, just sent to an expensive private school and drilled

The best slack interface I've found is appearing online with the tab closed. It's the best of both worlds: no distraction while appearing available. If someone messages you and you don't respond right away, they'll assum
