I think it's really interesting to mimic certain positive effects by various substances. One example would be Resveratrol, that mimics caloric restriction. For exercise, the challenge seems to be quite hard ( http://sydney.ed

Are there any studies on what kind of exercise, or what kind of intensity is most beneficial to overall or mental health? Edit: Got back to my laptop and did some research myself. Aerobic Exercise Training Increases Brain Volume in Aging Hu

No I haven't. Did not work on animations recently, but I may check it out again in the future!

The sad thing with animation libraries is, at least in my opinion, that in the end it comes down to a performance race. I loved popmotion at first, but once you hit the first performance bottleneck you can either contribute and fix performa

Just a time-wasting warning: a dude presenting data with no sources and no prove of claims. He states that the older voters spent considerably more time researching Brexit. Discussion is mostly about the validity of his claims..

I believe the truth lies somewhere in between. You will have a really rough time programming JS with the good parts only, but you will also have a rough time annoying your colleagues when you are the only one using "this" in a pla

Makes more sense to me than if you were less educated, but I do not want to start that discussion. I am only speaking of the general public and not the individual.

I do accept that, I may have conveyed the wrong message there. I also did want not judge on what's good or bad. What I do judge however is that politicians are abusing the divide and the mass media directly influencing it. Non-egalitar

I truly do not understand our society. Europe is split, even if the countries aren't, the people are. Every political decision ends up being a race of the well-educated against the less-educated. The clash of classes happens not only i

Do you know an article about that? Did not find anything about a life form without DNA, except http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/12/101202-nasa-... . The definition of life itself is not really obvi

TL;DR: Venter and his collaborators originally set out to design a stripped-down genome based on what scientists knew about biology. ... With the right tools finally in hand, the researchers designed a set of genetic blueprints for their mi

From the article: In fact, from a pure Darwinian perspective of fitter organisms producing more offspring, the opposite is happening with modern Homo sapiens. Impoverished, less healthy, and thus typically shorter families tend to have more

Interesting idea. Not that crowd driven investment algorithms are new, but I have not seen a machine learning one before. What really ennoys me about this kind of businesses is that they pay tiny prices and shut the competitions once they h

Why would they not just take a cab, is that so hard to do? I can't imagine a cab not taking you for a short trip if you pay adequately? I like Uber, Lyft and the like but I seriously only like them because of their vision that once sel

I think Zuck's case is pretty special and he might be worried that, in the worst case, his computer gets compromised and the attackers can additionally see or hear something top secret. I don't care to be honest.

What's funny is that, for us humans, the whole planet is kind of a big island today isn't it? (Edit: not everywhere ofc) I wonder how large humans will get in a number of generations from now. Found an interesting article about th
