It’s also important for people to be able to participate in the well-being of themselves, their family, and their community. A medicine garden allows for such participation, and it’s something we lost when our medicine was industrialized.

I think the query language was capable of remapping data into a different schema, but it suffered from its own design.

I think the better frame is not to see this as the plant acting upon the disease or symptoms, but rather, assisting the body’s own natural capacity for regeneration and healing.

Being able to do stuff like this was the point of the semantic web. That was supposed to be Web 3.0. To be fair, according to a write up by a guy deep in the semantic web, there were several choices made that lead to the collapse of the fir

I don’t think modern medicine has really taken a close look at synergistic effects of combinations of active ingredients. Our bodies are complex living systems, and it’s naive to think that our crude approach to pharmaceuticals — where we t

I remembered hearing an NPR report about that. There was also something about success rates being higher because they were in the top 10% of the high school, rather than top 10% overall. Students were also given more mentoring, and some of

My experience playing strategy games (like Go) is that, it's not always about plugging in numbers like that, at least for human decision makers. Mainly: - There are limited resources (time and money) - Which of the other seemingly urge

That would have been useful back when my son was a few days old and they needed to find a vein. They had to bring down an ultrasound machine, and had to keep looking for usable vein. There were multiple failed attempts, each one painful.

That depends on the person, and that’s why it is intrinsic, not extrinsic motivation.

by hosh 4y ago
If your intrinsic motivation is for your family, you might be able to pull it off. It's a recipe for burnout, but it can be doable. Assuming that the work itself is something you're not intrinsically motivated for. You'd also

You might be able to simulate that with psychedelics, meditation, or perhaps if they ever figure out how to reliably induce specific states with trans-cranial magnetic stimulation. Then someone can make a choice. I’ve had experiences where

One thing to note is volatility. Spot instances are great for workloads that can absorb spot instance interruptions, and those interruptions tend to happen more if everyone else is trying to get spot instances at that time. Stateless web wo

That is measuring from the outside, and quantifying it. How do you measure “skill”? You still look at the results, rather than the skill that develops inside a person. It’s still the same problem as measuring “learning”.

by hosh 4y ago
In order to do that, we would have to be able to measure “learning”, and so far, we have only been able to measure “ability to regurgitate facts”. It does not help that the mainstream educational paradigm is “to fill the blank slate that i

I don’t think it is exactly zenith at exactly 12 noon, though now that you mentioned it, I remember that the apps I use shows it might shift as much as +/- 30 mins where I am at. Playing with the app (Sun Seeker), I can see what you me

At around noon, when the Sun reaches the zenith (at least of you are not in the polar regions), it would be South in the Northern Hemisphere and North in the Southern Hemisphere. At that point, east-west axis is easier to establish. Doing t

That works the best close to noon, but I don’t think that works so well at around dawn or dusk. Latitude also matters. The closer it is to the arctic or antarctic circle, the iffier that gets. This isn’t a trick so much as just how the sun

I remember an article about that — bike ridership is so widespread that most drivers have someone in their family that bikes, if not a biker themself.

It happens for men, just that it is a low conversion rate. The conversion rate is even higher for women who are pregnent or breastfeeding, which makes sense from an natural adaptation point of view. You can also elevate the level of DHA in

You can get DHA from algea sources and still eat vegan. There is also a sex-linked difference between ALA conversion to DHA/EPA, with women, and women who are pregnant or brestfeeding converting significantly more ALA to DHA than men.

If we're going that route, I think it's more likely we'll see clinical outcomes with therupeutic use of psilosybin or MDMA. I don't think it is so much that the brain needs to be tweaked, but that experiencing self, othe

SPD shares more similarities to Narcissitic Personality Disorder than it does with ADHD -- not in terms of effect and imposition on other people, but rather in the lived experience of self and other, self and world. I don't think SPD (

Oil and other trade between Russia and China has increased since sanctions against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Yes they would. Russia was one of countries working with China to create an alternate reserve currency. ( https://coercioncode.com/2022/07/25/russia-and-china-announc... ) Sanctions on Russia over Ukraine is a

I had the same reaction to the first few paragraphs. I’m glad it is written, and hope it wakes more people up to it. I don’t know if the author has looked into stuff like permaculture design principles and permaculture ethical principles. T
