But how big is the inter-person variation? "Out of some 200 hours for the entire study, for only 18 minutes were they actually all sleeping synchronously" is a pretty useless quote -- how much of that was due to a handful of extre

AMP should be the first stop on the federal government's antitrust investigation. The sheer unfairness of being granted search priority if you hand over your content to Google is the pinnacle of leveraging monopoly power to gain power

And if you Google "India flood zone map", the floodplains nearly perfectly align with the worst areas of air pollution, pointing strongly to an agriculture-linked cause.

Most people who self-apply the title "night owls" are probably artificially inhibiting their sleep by blue light exposure, so this advice is useful to many.

Yeah, that's kinda understandable. Although I'm not sure how the current name fits the project any better.

Both of these sure sound like ripe b2b startup opportunities...

Agreed. Sometimes I have heads-down days, where I really just want to immerse myself, and being around coworkers is distracting. And sometimes I have less structured days when informal conversations are more necessary. These are roughly ana

This is why I love the gig economy. "Barista FIRE" sounds awful, but "Uber FIRE" sounds great.

I don't know why hospitals don't invest in the very same technology I use every night as a downtown urban area dweller to stay asleep -- a sleep mask, and headphones with a continuous stream of pink noise. I can sleep through pret

Every time I try to use a screen outside on a sunny day, the "intensity and colour" of the outside world seems to massively overpower it.

There is a point at which the radiation you're receiving from regular scans becomes harmful enough to outweigh the benefits of early detection.

It's nice that you think those are costs worth remaining ignorant over. However, when the ignorance is about things that literally might kill me, my personal opinion is that it's worth it.

It seems like Facebook has staked out a legal position on this. A dubious one likely to fail and doubtless designed mostly to buy time, but a legal position nonetheless, which will only be struck down by a court, not an email reply chain. Y

tumblr was sold for $1.1 billion, and it's largely obscure Internet comedy.

How about this: No one is allowed to call me unless they are on my contacts list, or perhaps another whitelist of not-quite-contacts-but-allowed-to-call-me. Any calls off those lists silently fail. Phone providers must upgrade their infrast

There's a whole class of makeup techniques designed to enhance attractiveness by creating the appearance of a different bone structure. Maybe that could be useful here? We need makeup experts who can develop "counter-contouring&qu

On one hand, you have sentimental value. On the other hand, you have a crushing housing crisis that is causing incalculable financial strain on millions of people. I wonder which of these we should consider more important.

"being ratio'd" is completely toxic behavior. It is dogpiling someone on the internet. The quality of replies it encourages is reliably the lowest of the low. Trying to protect that practice is not very defensible; dumb tweet

Others have reported just the opposite -- it helps them develop the confidence to speak without it.

It's more than that, it's that Assange actively assisted in the crime. A better analogy would be that as he was casing the joint, he called up someone, told them he was going to break in, and asked for instructions on how to pick

As horrific as that video is, it leaves me with so many questions. How did the deer stay alive so long? Why didn't it scream / fight more? What caused it to kick into survival mode right at the end, seconds before death?

Yes, absolutely. The responses so far have been too tepid; DDOSing competitors, adding a database-dropping kill switch, disabling other software, and adding an admin login backdoor are all separate criminal offenses. The developer responsib
