If the person sitting next to you in a sauna has it, that's plenty of time to catch it? Also, there isn't enough heat to kill it in the locker rooms or rest of the gym (where I have access to one.)

There's already software that can imitate a person's voice, so we have all the pieces already to do speech-to-text, clean up with GPT-3, and back to text-to-speech in the original person's voice. Maybe with a style transfer t

I like the idea of reframing your goal from "I will run 5 times per week" to "I will be a person that runs often." This works for me because if I miss one day of running then I've failed my goal immediately, whereas

I'm 35, have been taking 6mg of rapamycin per week for about a year. It's hard to assign the effects directly to it since I've been taking other supplements and also fixing up my diet + exercise. That being said, I am quite s

It's hard for me to imagine an office environment that would make up for commuting every day. Unless I live walking distance from the office I'll pick fully remote every time.

The big question is whether validators who process sanctioned contract transactions on chain are liable. I would say they are, since in theory they can choose which transactions to include. If I were a US based miner I'd be looking int

I got Covid last month. I have the vaccine and a booster and it still took me out for a week. Why should I continue to risk re-infection and long Covid? Do I wear a mask while in Zoom calls if I'm sitting in a shared area? Do I have to
