Maybe with older adults the baseline goal should be to merely maintain or slow the loss of the muscle, mobility, and cardiovascular capacity they already have? It's not realistic for a 50 year old to think they could build muscle year-

Radiolab (the podcast) did a good series on border policy that was pretty informative. IIRC, the US-Mexico border was never open , but it was quite porous. People would come to the US, work for a season to make some money, then go home. Th

It's the outliers that are geographic and system dependent. Rank the schools and exclude outliers at both extremes. The remaining schools aren't filled with teachers acting like prison guards watching over illiterate students.

Have you talked to any high school students or teachers lately? The ones I have (via my kids) are all articulate, thoughtful, and kind. It gives me a lot of hope for the future.

> Because you don't pay for the water, you buy the rights. Is that true? I've only ever lived places where we pay for water by the gallon from a municipal system. I've always assumed that's how most non-agricultural c

> Who decides what counts as a "real identity"? Notaries do this all the time often for free or for a fairly minimal fee. The solution doesn't have to be perfect to be better.

I had classes in school that had multiple-choice quizzes every couple of weeks. It helped students figure out if they knew the material just covered and it helped the prof know how well he did teaching. They acted as checkpoints. The mid-te

Why is water so inexpensive? Shouldn’t the price per gallon increase exponentially? It seems like it shouldn’t be that difficult to come up with curves so that typical households pay very little for water and the big users pay a lot for wat

What do you mean by that? A union represents you as a worker and not your work. Baseball players, for example, are represented by the MLBPA. Collectively they get a say in things like setting the rules of the game and negotiating healthcare

That must be why Amazon does a lot of pre-processing on their server. They know what device they are sending to and can tailor the file for that device. Maybe expecting the X4 to look great is asking too much. It took Amazon years to get it

I've looked at this device and I wonder how good the layout engine is. Screenshots never show text with any hyphenation going on which makes me wonder if it even supports hyphenation. One of the images on the Amazon page for the reader

A problem with Boox that some here care about is their non-compliance with the GPL. Their devices run modified GPL software and they have (AFAIK) refused to release their modifications.

Thanks! The results from examine.com for nicotinamide are interesting, but not as focused or concise (or usable) as the vitamin D information in this posting.

This is great. I wonder if there's something like a patreon model where we could sponsor similar deep dives on other supplements? For example, I've been supplementing with nicotinamide riboside for a few years now. I stop occasion
