   Indeed, very interesting. Also note that among the adhd population the smokers had a lower HR than the non-smokers. Nicotine is known as a stimulant and to be used by undiagnosed adhd patients as self-medication. Would be interesting to see

    Health care in CH is still public, even if most actors are private companies. The baseline cost are shared socially. That's why the premiums increase every year.

    I think Cybernetics was more like the primordial AI. But it was also expanded to study even larger systems like a collection of interacting agents like humans.

    I wanted to play around with Dlang a couple of times. But the few times I've tried, it was quite a hassle to setup a dev environment to start with my preferred tooling. Some concrete points: - the Dlang plugin for the JetBrain suite (C

    I don't know the details about the UK. But the EU has been playing this game with Switzerland since 2013. Switzerland can bankroll the costs, but it's the scientists and science overall tha slows down due to this.
