This comment is dangerous and incorrect. Many people have exceptional responses on SSRIs - myself included. I went from having regular panic attacks to living a very normal life with absolutely zero side effects, just from taking the lowest

This is true for certain metabolic zones but not others. If you're sprinting then yes, you get a higher power output while pulling up on the pedal. However if you're going for any kind of endurance (longer than a minute) the limit

Confused why you don't think this is a problem?? just because family will be there for you when no one else will doesn't mean they are financial liquid enough to support you with $50,000-$100,000 in cash. Clearly that is your situ

Congrats! It feels so good. I paid off about $60k of debt in 1.5 years after college while living at home. It was hard but worth it.

Exciting pieces of research coming out right now. I could see using a blood test to find these specific biomarkers, and then getting started earlier on a drug like donanemab that has better results the earlier you start it. Combining a bloo

Reminiscent of a very interesting company I interviewed for last year called Cache DNA https://www.cache-dna.com/ This is the future. I don't think it will look exactly like this, and I don't think it will be here

Could you describe your tech stack more? I'm a data engineer trying to teach myself React so I can build a full stack app using some APIs and it's certainly a good exercise, but I could also certainly build that in Python. Your ap

Humans are likely to share when they don't know something or to express concern when they aren't positive what they're is correct. LLMs are confident 100% of the time and don't understand when they're wrong. I get w

foundering = fail or break down floundering = struggle or stagger helplessly. both work! I actually think `floundering` works better in context - "men breaking down" versus "men struggling".

If you can get your handles on a Pixel 3 for cheap, that took simply incredible photos. Even better than my current iPhone 12 for most purposes (not all).

Well, obviously - you need to make money. So if you're not getting paid at your current job, many people can't afford to stay at their current job. If I had UBI or some kind of trust fund, I might stay at my current job. I reall

I really liked this article overall, but was very confused by this section - > If you are an individual developer, the leverage it provides might be 10 times greater, but when you work for a company, that number might be only 2. Where do

I don't think this is a good argument. Just because you are at a cost center/not at a profit center doesn't mean you don't have any connection to the profit. Take HR. Total cost center. By this logic they shouldn'

OK but I don't think chalking it up to 'weather-related reason' is entirely accurate either. That may make up a portion of it [1] but it doesn't make up all of it [2]. And I agree that the US has a high prescription cult

If this is the case, why don't we see long covid symptoms in certain professions? I spent an internship working in a clean room wearing full PPE including an N95 mask for my entire 9-5. Didn't ever experience long covid symptoms.

Seeing a lot of people talk about how the density of water is going to change with a temperature change. I don't really think that's true. Liquid water density is pretty darn inelastic and almost fully incompressible. It's on

Water density is almost fully inelastic w/rt temperature. At 60°F the density is 0.99907 g/cm^3, at 100°F the density is 0.99318 g/cm^3. I think that's something like a .5-1% change in density. Pipes bursting is purely b

Any doctor worth their salt should and will do this if you come in complaining about fatigue. They did with me. Someone presenting specific symptoms isn't going to get just a CBC.

not comparable from a climate change perspective, but helps put perspective into just how much CO2 that is. I disagree with you that it's unhelpful, context is always helpful.

IIRC deflation and inflation are equally as bad. If 'inflation' rates are negative, the economy grinds to a halt. Having an inflation rate of ~2% is widely considered to be beneficially for everyone, since it's in a 'gol
