The article gives examples of how it helps with PTSD. It doesn’t “fail”. It doesn’t totally cure it, it that’s a high bar for any psychological intervention.

90% of it was touting the benefits. I kept reading to see if it would get to the part where it’s all bunk, but it never did.

Actually, I remember now, I called mine "brain shivers". Whenever I moved my head, my visual field would stutter as if the room was only lit with a strobe light. It didn't hurt, but it was nauseating and it made standing up a

Ketamine doesn’t make you happy and it doesn’t make you less sharp (except for the short period of time when you’re under the influence). I just did it for the third time this week and the effect is not what you describe. It is not an escap

For all the hate Slack gets, it works great for me. Yes, you can be interrupted, but you can also ignore it very easily. Without Slack, I’d have people coming up to my desk and asking me questions, which would _really_ be distracting. Maybe

I had to give up all of that stuff initially, but after symptoms recede (a few days) I was able to selectively reintroduce foods until I found the much smaller subset of foods that caused symptoms.

There is ketamine therapy, which has shown a lot of promise. But I agree, it's important to do it as "therapy" under supervision of a doctor and a qualified therapist, and not just jumping into a K-hole on your own. Just goin

For me, it is definitely worth the effort. But I didn't try to learn it all at once, so it didn't feel like that much of an effort. I got good enough at first, then as I kept using it and found something I was doing repeatedly, I&

Even though some cheeses are made without rennet, it seems more likely that the easier method with rennet would have been discovered first. It seems tricky to get the milk to coagulate into curds before turning sour unless you have rennet.

That's not a fair reading. I don't see anywhere that the article makes a any suggestion about when to optimize, it only suggests techniques that you could presumably use when you actually need to. Just as it's silly to prem

True, but if you could do day to day testing without a VM, even running automated tests against it, that would be a huge timesaver. Then you fire up the VM once a week (or some reasonable interval) to confirm it's 100%. There are platf

The reason why players are more valuable than managers on a sports team isn't because the market is efficient. Players put butts in seats. Nobody goes to a game to see the manager, even if he's the guy running the show. People lik
