BDNF will affect neuronal proliferation, but won't affect how you feel (mood) in the short term.

I use R almost every day. I'm tempted to start porting Bioconductor packages to Julia, so I can go back to working in languages that don't make my brain melt. It's scary when you realize you actually got used to working aroun

Right now surgery robots like the Da Vinci aren't automated. They have to be controlled by someone at the moment.

Any advice for applying for jobs that specify a PhD as a requirement, but for which I'd be otherwise qualified? I'm in bioinformatics, and trying to transition into a particular field. I completed a masters degree, and have been w

How much of a threat is it there? Portland's sounded like an attractive place to try to move to, having the best bicycle transport "infrastructure" in the country. Seems like the side-effects like mudslides are worse than the

Also anecdotal, but I've noticed that when I pay for shipping, the time it takes for items to leave the warehouse appears to be less compared to selecting "free" super saver for order totals > $X.

I've been using this set of exercises as a less-intense interval routine when I don't have time to do a full p90x workout, or don't feel like making up my own set of intervals for a day. Two times doesn't feel like enoug

I'd really like to do a real long-distance walk/hike eventually. I tried walking south out of Nagoya station in Japan, aiming to get Hiroshima, but I only ended up going about 50 miles before I ran out of time and had to take the

It sounds like there is demand for a p2p system for distributed streaming, but breaking BT doesn't sound like a nice way of achieving that.

At least due to the startup costs and necessary experience involved, there are many fewer breweries opening than frozen yogurt places. I can't believe the number of frozen yogurt places. And they're still opening. In a mid-sized c

Got into craft beer in the US and then lived in Japan for a year. Japan taxes beer based on malt content. There are some really great breweries over there, but $9 pints (at a brewpub even) add up fast. (If you're ever in Tokyo check ou

In Japan there was a good deal of abuse of funds in the name of infrastructure. Investing in creation of high speed rail lines: clearly beneficial. Concreteing nearly every riverbed in the country: ???.

After they knock the external drive off the desk, they might go looking for a different media for offline storage. The cloud works for some cases, but it's definitely not great for large data volume- at least in the US, with broadband

I've read that MO is much more stable/reliable than writable DVD/BD. I spent a lot of time tracking down certain Taiyo Yuden discs to try to maximize the chance that I'd be able to read the data from DVD-Rs a couple of y

While I understand the attitude of wanting to try as hard as possible while there's still a chance to, I hope she's not actually doing more damage while not being able to really feel what's going on. How do you not destroy yo

Someone should tell us that sooner then. I've been trying to get over math anxiety for a long time, and having professors that say "it's simple, what don't you understand?" when you try to get help didn't help

I think we'll really need to start treating mindfulness as a fundamental life skill. I've realized only recently how essential it will be to develop in order to get much of anything out of life, given my mindset up to this point.

That sounds like a pretty good approach to it. It might become a bit of a problem if it involves a regular investment, so choice and scale have to depend on means available for that to really work...

Is that just an American thing, or an English speaking thing in general? I didn't realize how second nature it was until I used it in Japan a few times- and noticed the usual effect was not achieved. I don't think I ever tried exp

One of my favorite things about Japan was knowing that staff were getting paid something reasonable-ish without tips. Not tipping streamlines the restaurant experience and eliminates the "well that was a great time, now we have to spen

Same in Japan. It's also pretty common to see people squatting near buildings for smoke breaks, etc.

The set up time is important- it seems to take too long to really get Mint set up to the point where it's useful, and then you still spend a lot of time recategorizing transactions so that you can know where your budgets really stand.

Back when I was touring colleges, building Gentoo from Stage 1 seemed to be all the rage. I tried on a PIII also. Then the power went out after a day and I never tried it again after. While maybe it would have been a good experience, ultima

I can hardly believe that people buy them at all, let alone pay so much. I have to give them credit for the marketing, but still- my $50 refurb Sony MDR-V6 sound much better. Maybe if we paint decent headphones blue/red/green&#x2F

They should have just put Pirates of Silicon Valley in theaters, as opposed to "Jobs". Sure, it wasn't just about the guy in the turtleneck, but it was fantastic.

I wouldn't have thought to take apart a simple water boiler (at least not in recent years) so that was enlightening. Sometimes simple but functional designs can be fascinating, after getting to used to doing less with more (arduinos on

I imagine it was much different before (and during?) the bubble. There are amazing stories of entrepreneurship from that time- with things like the founding and fantastic growth of 7-11 Japan, and Softbank. These companies are huge now, but

It makes sense if there was an audible difference with speaker cables, particularly if the amps were high power and the cables represented a range of gauges. Trying to power a line array with 22 gauge speaker wire isn't going to work v
