Taubes has been a big diet proponent for a long time. I’m not sold on his methods (yeah a high fat diet will lose you weight but a high sugar diet <TDEE will too, and 3 kcal raw sugar is unpalatable as is of raw fat)

I didn’t find any of the “these maps looked similar” (lots of maps look similar) or “wow these two time trends are correlated” ( all time series with trends are correlated ) tbh

statnews is a decent quality website for biotech news and information. Not blogspam. This is an opinion piece and is bad tho

true, although argument evaluation order in a(x,b(y,c(d),z),w) is already somewhat hard to rely on

that same logic works for reversed-compose - a|b|c|d = (a)|(b~c~d). It is inconsistent with the normal kind but I think it’s worth it just for the ability to write list |map| func |filter| predicate |group-by| keyfunc |map| .values() |map|

I do dislike YouTube for this. However, it’s a compromise they made to offer __pretty much all music, copyrighted or not, for free, to everyone, at any time__. That’s valuable! The arrangement is, essentially, yes, they have agreements with

While I find antivax schoolboard patchy-blond-hairdye rage moms to be boring and dull, I’m quite happy for social media platforms to work like that and show you content you want from actual people posting that content. And I don’t think eit

this is totally reasonable and arguably necessary for a platform. High profile users are going to be targeted for reporting much more, and the consequences of a false suspension are more visible for them. Think of it like how you might whit

a bigger problem is what “they support sharia law” actually means. any two supporters of any broad political signifier in the US often mean totally different things

Article has some aesthetic appeal but I don’t think really pulls together a reasonable argument. “Liberty: antidote to death” is ... not quite right - Christ was certainly that, and the “breaking of chains” of Christ does follow, but seems

“users not reporting issues they have” is annoying. Maybe projects (crypto especially) should offer pizza money level rewards for reporting any valid bug

isn’t the first thing you are being the first thing evaluated just better? we read ltr, so having to see and remember a before c(d) but then having some of a’s arguments at the very end is just annoying vs pipes

I’ve hacked pipes in python many times just because it’s so much better. And no, “a=f(a);\n b=g(a);\n c=h(b);\n a=i(c)” isn’t “more declarative” or “more expressive” than a | f | g | h, and even in python a |pipe| b |pipe(blah)| c |pipe(bla

oh. makes much more sense. I don’t see how this helps avoid scandals unless they’re using multiple interchangeable models plus the face? https://www.instagram.com/rozy.gram/ I can’t see the face swap at all tbh

It’s apparently self funded by him. I don’t know how he doesn’t get shut down but I don’t know how all the DMCA avoiding pirated streaming sites don’t either, or how sci hub isn’t domain blocked in the US, or why millions of copyrighted boo

military spending is 51% of discretionary spending. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6wwEz... Not 51% of government spending, which is much much larger

yeah but antipsychotics severely retard every mental process and have a high risk of permanent motor and intellectual disability (it really sucks to have tardive dyskinesia). There’s absolutely no reason that should be prescribed. https:&#

Benadryl and Haldol arguably don’t belong in the same sentence at all, considering their ridiculously different effects and profile. You’re right that they’re used though. Is there any reason Haldol should be used like that at all, beyond i

There needs to be judicial punishment for the care workers and higher ups who administered the drugs. Merely sweeping it under the rug is not enough.
