I feel the same. I've found that having a dedicated work environment can help, e.g. a separate office room with a proper desk, chair and monitor, although realistically that's not possible for a lot of people including myself curr

I disagree, as I posted elsewhere in this thread these annual death rates are drawn from different distributions. The annual suicide rate is normally distributed, in other words the expected number of deaths will be around the same number e

Exactly this. The expected annual deaths from suicide are normally distributed whereas a highly contagious disease is long-tailed, i.e. a non-negligible probability of a huge number of fatalities.

I found the seasonal variation really interesting, to summarise on average people's resting heart rate is ~2bpm higher at the start of the year than it is in July. The authors don't hypothesise why this is, my guess would be gener

I'm disappointed there's no counter argument presented in the linked article, especially given this interpretation of the embroidery is highly subjective. This other article gives some rebuttals from others in the field https:&#x

Well the most obvious answer is going to be to practice more, but to be more specific I suppose it depends on your current level, eventual goals and your budget. Is this for future work prospects or for casual conversation? If it's the

Looks like it's currently in Alpha though, so hopefully by release those requirements should come down at least a bit assuming they optimise it.

It probably depends on what kind of person you are to be honest. I'm a data scientist so naturally I quite like the measurement aspect of it all, it's very rewarding to see improvement in key metrics that correlate with my overall

Unfortunately I couldn't find a link to an open/free version of the original paper. I'm always extremely sceptical of papers like this that seemed designed to grab headlines and confirm most people's existing biases.

That doesn't address their criticism though. Many people here have pointed out these mistakes on your site. Do you not see that it is actively dangerous to present wrong information like this?
