Don’t know your specific circumstances and it sounds like it was kinda a rough birth so sorry. I will say that the cord wrapped around the neck is super common and something midwives deal with all the time.

We had both our kids at a birth center in the US (actually both born in the same room three years apart) and it was a great experience. There are certainly cases where you can’t but I really liked not being in an overly medical setting. Als

That 1% seemed kinda off to me. The original article is kinda weird: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2013/07/can-gov... One example they cite is healthcare being more then 50% spent in treat

Just in case it adds clarification. I think the downvotes are due to equating HIV to justice. Smoking once it is well understood I guess kinda is, but HIV is really just a matter of luck like all infectious diseases. You can reduce your ris

Isn’t a better analogy to compare BTC to pets.com and crypto (the technology) to the web?

Just because it sounds extreme doesn’t mean I am using the wrong words. Guns are not required for violence or murder to occur. Just because some people there were not trying to do either doesn’t mean that didn’t happen. Why do you feel the

Huh? Insane? The capitol was assaulted in order to prevent the democratically elected president. An actual insurrection which maybe had some attempted assassination and theft/sale of national security secrets mixed in. Seems like a pre

Ya personally I consider sleep to be very very productive. I just spent two months doing cognitive behavioral therapy to improve it (went from ave 5.75 hrs to 6.7 hrs per night). Massive benefit.

I used tagtime for a while a decade or so ago. I agree that the stochastic tracking is a lot better since you can't game it. I may try it again, so thanks for the reminder. I've been a paid subscriber to http://rescueti

I think what is interesting is the narrowing of possible hypotheses based on what we do know. The estimates are certainly off, but helping to better define and refine the question is still a worthwhile scientific endeavor. Yes, we probably

US decreased 9.5%. The difference seems fairly marginal and could be affected just by timing of when the virus started. Germany though bought something with that. The interesting question will be what Q3 and Q4 looks like.

The “resurgence of cases” in these other countries are less than 1 per 10k. Florida has been having 30-40 per 10k. It isn’t binary. All economies will take a hit. But if the US was doing 30x better then the economy would be better. And if t

I’m basing my risk assessment on evidence of likely long term damage to adults. Combined with very little data there is a huge amount of unknown risk still to children. https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/07/08/fro

Plus we know nothing about the long term health consequences. Kids may not be dying at a high rate but they may suffer long term heart, lung, or organ damage. It feels like everyone is just assuming that if it isn’t death then it is fine. J

Yep. Naming things is hard. First there was actually the Prologue theme, then P2 was the second version (~2010?). Then O2 because “communication is oxygen for an organization”. Now back to P2 because that is the name that has stuck and ever

Ya, Scheduling tools are often pretty bad in general and constraint optimization does too much assuming that things won’t change or that people are just automatons. We ended up deciding we needed to build our own tool and have also started

Have you tried slow release melatonin? My sleep medicine doc suggested it and I take 6mg a night. Helped a lot with waking up in the middle of the night. The other pieces you may consider is some form of restless legs. Sleep docs diagnose a
