Power to be D3 deficient? [0] Do you have some inferiority complex? It's objectively better to have white skin that can tan instead of a darker one. It's always possible to cover from the sun. Only disadvantage: in sunny climates,

You sound like someone who could benefit from 300μg of LSD to think his life through and perhaps make major changes, alternatively psylocybin. No offense, but it seems like you're mindlessly executing a social script meant for someone

How can you know? The only way to really compare two lives would be to live them both.

What does it have with skin color? Just limit the sun for two or three days until you tan, no sunburns after that. It's not like Thais are black. Compare: https://pixabay.com/p-199674/?no_redirect https:/&#x

I don't think it's possible to edit autism out until it's actually understood on a mechanical level. It's likely that's what's now called 'autism' in reality are several completely different things wi

All I see is a form-based code editor with autocomplete + templates. The underlying model seems very low level: eg. at 2:45, manual input of size in bytes - wtf. Is that video really supposed to show the power of this thing?

I like depersonalization. Used to get it relatively often as a kid and teen, sadly very rarely now. Guess I'm going to buy a vr! It's like playing a rpg with 'your' body as an avatar. Which means there's (almost) no

If what you call racism is inefficient, you should explain what market barriers prevent its disappearance, for developers in the developed world, in the UK in particular. If its efficient, by calling it a problem you're implicitly sayi

If this was really about race (as opposed to skills) non-racist companies would be more effective and out-compete the rest, especially given current shortage. These companies would probably be started by the discriminated people in the firs

Awesome idea, was thinking about something like that for a long time. Not sure about implementation though. You can define algorithmic problems in a declarative way, but what about the rest, ie. 99% of actual work? Like a website. To verify

Totalitarianism, plain and simple. How are you even supposed to verify if a news piece is fake in 24h? You can't. '<major politician> engaged in a <criminal activity>'. No way to verify. If genuinely fake news, de

It's really funny that something as simple is impossible to predict over longer times, because you would need perfect information. Yet climate science is 'settled'.

Their slow-mining start was, I think, a very bad idea. I get that they wanted a more fair distribution and to prevent an initial bubble. However, bubbles and rich early adopters result in organic viral marketing and create a network effect.

Conservation of momentum only works because the gravitational field itself is supposed to have momentum. Similar to how momentum is conserved for an accelerating paddling boat only if you include the sea. Sea analogy is a good one I think,

That's not how general relativity works. Spinning would increase its energy, hence increasing its gravitational pull, hence accelerating faster.

How do you know that? Consider a pretty simple and obviously correct device: an electric engine with an internal rotating shaft + a solar panel to power it, floating in space. The faster it rotates, the higher its acceleration in the grav

It can be fixed with biotechnology. 1. A device that allows knowledge uploading would make most of education obsolete - everyone could know everything there is to know (which is not the same as understanding, but I don't think it'

The article doesn't spell it out, but it seems that's how dopaminergic stimulants make it hard to sleep. Dopamine deactivates the sleep circuit. This opens the way to stimulants that doesn't impair sleep and the reverse. That

The only way it can actually work is as an insulation. The venturi effect - which requires wind - cools the air in the constriction due to the pressure drop, but it stops being cool once it leaves the constriction. A simple sun-powered coo

That would be a very bad advice to Michael Tyson or every other athlete who went bankrupt after spending hundreds of millions.
