Also I wonder if type of dairy (fermented/processed/etc) serve as additional confounders. PS do not forget sunlight/vitamin D levels if speaking about Nordic countries specifically not just dairy. Also a known cancer risk fac

It's well known that cancer cells die under oxidative metabolic pressures, and also that antioxidants can help prevent free radical caused DNA damage (which might lead to cancer). So antioxidants can both help and cause damage, dependi

Do you have any sources for this based on actual data?

Software is the exception as-in it is the tool that is driving the elimination process itself. And at the same time it does lead to the same effects inside the software industry. These two things seem to be opposites but they aren't.

Those are not mutually exclusive things though, presumably they want to be approached by non-creepy guys (ie ones they happen to like, by whatever measure). I guess this is just how the human mating game goes. We try to make some things mak

Great to see someone taking charge of their condition and using data to do so. Have you tried squats after eating. Use of the largest muscles in the body may help with extra glucose sensitivity.

I think the problem with phages was that it was too expensive and needed selective manufacturing per targeted bacteria. I can imagine a personalized medicine approach working out well once we have better (and fully automated) tech for it.

Biohacking is 100% gonna happen, probably sooner than later. Trying to pretend otherwise is ignoring all the technologies becoming available on a ramen budget.

It's not purely a compassion thing by any means, don't get me wrong, Eastern European countries by large are racist, but they're also still dealing with the aftermath of previous (forced) migration during the Soviet times. Fa

Actually they could, but they would lose their common carrier (see a sibling comment) protections.

It might, but the business model Cloudflare is on makes the distinction less clear. For example with their free plans would they need to identify all clients, scan their content and judge accordingly? For paid clients, I might be more sympa

Common carrier[0] as a concept exists for good reasons, while cloudflare is not technically required to act as one, it just makes perfect sense to not have to make a ambigious content based judgement call for each of your clients. [0] http

Please never take "not from the US so what" as a credible form of protection against any US actor, be it corporate or govermental. There's many ways someone can still screw you, starting from making your travel to the US tric

There's some data to speculate that chronic non-burning levels of sun exposure is protective against melanoma while acute burning exposure is inductive. Until the data becomes more clear get some sun exposure but do not burn. http:&#x

The cost of biological weapons is likely to marginalize once the know-how is public and with things like in-home sequencers we're well on the towards home-labs being feasible and cheap. The limiting factor right now might be ordering n

Elaborate? Drone command-and-control facilities would surely be protected from a lone gunman, more-so, how would guns & self-defense protect against a targeted agent taking down someone important? (who presumably already has defense whi

I agree that would be the best economic theoretical model, is it in any way feasible realistically though? Politically? Even if ignoring the EU side of it (which is nontrivial for various reasons not limited to defense, the vision of the EU

No good source either but I do believe the VAT and corporation tax measures are to compensate on the Greek government inability to collect taxes. Sadly they probably make Greece a less attractive target for capital. Damned if you do, damned
