Never been legal, but tolerated. If you're smoking in the streets you can still get into trouble with the police. That's why there's coffeeshops. Smoke there or home and NL looks the other way. But on the supply side there ar

Cannabis is not legal in NL and there are many problems with their current setup involving organized crime. You say you "see" NL as a successful example, but I think it's more of a belief based on assumptions. In reality it&#

Cheap credit continues to drive property prices into the insane, especially in Vancouver. This is a failure of monetary policy more than anything. You can now get a variable rate mortgage for less than 2%, which is the rate of inflation, s

That is strange. My doctor finds no problem with my cannabis consumption while taking methylphenidate. I don't find they interact in a negative way, however I find too much coffee + methylphenidate is very counter productive. The caffi

Recommend daily amount is tricky because it may not reflect our most current understanding, but it is a good starting point. For example the RDA of vitamin D is 600IU/day, but there has been evidence that up to 10x this dose continues

Packed? A lot? In 100g of dandelion, how much vitamins & minerals do you think there are? I'd be surprised if it was more than 1 gram in total. It's more likely a lot less than 1%. The fibre is the most beneficial component by

Packed with micronutrients . There is almost no macronutrient in dandelion, as besides water it's almost entirely indigestible cellulose fibre. But that fibre is actually the most beneficial aspect by far. By "packed" we mea

Difficult to test. What if some workers are chronicly sleep deprived and that contribution was the tipping point for some of them, but not all sleep deprived workers? What if some workers are chronicly anxious, causing sustained elevated st

I've just recently seen work that's exploring vitamin D suplimation vs. sunlight derived vitamin D and they're finding the sunlight provides more benefit than no sunlight exposure and Vitamin D suplimation.

Most people cook with oil at too high a temperature, causing it to smoke and develop carcinogenic compounds, regularly, over decades. There are many examples of this in our lives (ultravilot sunlight, cosmic radiation on intercontinental fl

I'd think you'd only need a breakdown of the taste receptor stimulating compounds. But even then whether food tastes good or not is very complex and goes WAY beyond taste receptors. There's the obvious smell and the way it

yeah, as someone who has worked with WordPress a long time, "built into the WordPress core" is a terrifying statement. I didn't read any further.

iBeacons are like GPS, just dumb timers pingining a number over radio. You could have said the same thing about GPS in the early days. How about a museum app that guides you to the nearest bathroom or the next exhibit you want to see? Or yo

Rational decisions are the only way to win a war. Apple operates as though they do not have competitors, they only care about making the best possible devices they can, which is why they are so profitable. Chasing Google is the opposite of

You say 25 years (a generation) and you could be 100% right. But then half right is 12.5 years, and I would consider that within a near horizon. I totally agree highway driving, especially tractor trailers, will come much sooner. I like the

Are you're saying it's an issue of "fairness"? By who's measure? If one values VR Porn, going from not having it to having it increases one's wealth immensely. The outliers are just that, outliers.

I don't think zillionaires are made by keeping everyone else poor. I think it's much more likely the opposite, zillionaires arise from creating the most wealth for the most people. My issue is that "wealth" tends to be c

How are you measuring wealth? My current car is a lot more efficient, safe, reliable, and comfortable than my last car, and I'm paying the same price. That's an increase in wealth for me. My next TV will be a lot bigger and perfor

SpaceX's reusable rocket cost is divided by hundreds of rocket-launches rather than a single launch when a disposable rocket is used.

How does this have any hope competing with SpaceX and their upcoming fully reusable rockets? If they can do it SpaceX will be at least 10x cheaper than everyone else. It says of the Angara-A5: "the payload section had a mass of 25,766
