Eh didn’t it turn out that most of that was drummed out in the 2012 era by a few doctors selling books and partnering with exercise and standing desk companies? I feel like most of the more recent stuff I have read has said, yes get your ex

Suggests doctors in general are wrong... Proceeds to quote other doctors?

by jjcon 5y ago
I see people say this and then just above are saying doctors ask for it because it is medically relevant. That seems contradictory to me.

> Apple just seems to be an odd foe for the U.S. to fight in this area. Apple? The largest company in the world? A company 7x larger than walmart? Why would it at all be odd to accuse them on antitrust grounds.

Gadolinium seems like one of those things that won't even be allowed in most circumstances in a few more years. It has been used for decades and conventional wisdom was, if your kidneys are fine it all leaves the body in 24 hours. Then

Had the same thing happen to me, I know the password, have access to the recovery email but Google won't let me login. Spent months in a support thread with Google and eventually gave up. Still really bummed about it tbh

Agreed, AI is just like any software. There are good, bad, scammy and brilliant examples of it. With AI somehow though people like to use one bad example as a referendum on everything. I think I understand why (because AI as a term is overl

Well they also changed the definition of M2 (how many dollars are used in calculations) in May 2020.

Because significance thresholds can vary pretty dramatically. Plenty of experiments done in physics for instance have reported results even though they didn't yet reach a 5 sigma threshold (3x10e-7). In physics something can be highly

It was lower though, just not significantly so (depending on your threshold for significance) - that's the standard way of reporting it. You can't just chunk part of the sentence and take issue with it, the sentence in it's e

They didn't claim it was real did they? Just read out the result which was lower but not in a significant way. I've read hundreds of papers do the same.

Agreed though only in the past few years (and primarily only in the USA) have progressives started to push against classical liberalism towards more illiberal views, that has not generally been the case in the past.

Its 12.9% as of May 2021 https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/loans/student-loans/how-m... I think you are thinking about the percent of Americans with a bachelor's degree (32.1%).

Just because a position is held by some progressives in the US to appeal to their young student base does not make it a 'liberal position'. Those with just Bachelors degrees still make almost twice as much as those without (averag

So bail them out cause it will trickle down to those less fortunate? I've heard that somewhere before. Only about 12 percent of Americans have student loans and the largest burden is among those with advanced degrees.

As one of these unaffiliated I actually think it is kind of sad in some ways that religion is so tied to shared origin stories (of earth, mankind etc) because I want many of the other things religion offers in my life: community, philosophi
