I haven't used any, but I found some just by googling and I'm sure you can find reviews on reddit.

How does it compare to amphetamines or amphetamine analogs, in your opinion? I've tried armodafinil and the first time I took it I felt as you described, but only for a couple hours. Otherwise it just made me feel alert, but not focuse

Modafinil is generic. If you have a prescription, you can just buy it for cheap online from Canada.

I think you are dramatically overestimating the amount of waste that results from context switching.

Yeah, but what was the age range they tested? If they're comparing 22 year-olds to 18 year-olds, they're still only covering a small range.

Why not just build dykes to prevent the flooding in the first place?

You can get much higher quality information now. There are tons of mistakes and inaccuracies in TAC. These days there are HD YouTube videos with detailed instructions on how to do that kind of stuff.

Parent comment didn't lay forth a good argument, but I think there is something to be said for the societal cost of people owning investment capital. However, there is also something to be said for the benefit of incentives. It's

I'm not convinced that's true. There are countless innovations that we were able to get to work despite having little understanding of the underlying theory. Given how adaptable both biological and artificial neural networks are,

Because construction sites are ugly and noisy.

Given that multiple inspectors examined the machines personally and decided it was OK, I'm skeptical of this assessment.

I think it's more than that. It's a way of filtering people who can't handle the frustration of repeated failure and failing in spite of doing everything right. For elite soldiers like the SEALs, I can see how this would be v

Rent is also lower in Europe, and house size has pretty rapidly diminishing returns.

Parent never implied that it was inherent. That was all you.

Drugs are the only industry where this really matters. The government can just offer research subsidies to make up for the reduced patent protections, and everyone would still be better off. It's silly to keep our broken patent system

Honestly, I don't think these two things detract from the idea that much. The cost and safety are, in my opinion, the biggest benefit. The amount of nuclear waste in the world is actually fairly small, and long term disposal isn't

Just because the punishment is legal doesn't mean it isn't excessively harsh. Would you have the same reply for someone who was caught with a bag of weed in Singapore and was facing caning and a long prison sentence?

You're relying on water pressure instead of gravity to run the turbines. It's for coastal areas that don't have mountains.

I think the videos are still available to students. I'm sure someone will upload a torrent soon.

The law itself is poorly written, but the intent makes sense. It's important to protect the rights of those who are most vulnerable, which certainly includes deaf and blind people.

These days that's not so expensive. $600 will get you there.

VR headsets don't have that level of resolution yet. There will still be visible pixels for years to come. I believe it was either Carmack or Gabe Newell who said you'd need nearly 50k vertical pixels for true photo realism, I may

The AI would have to be able to ask for clarifications on ambiguity as it goes.

The 787 is made from carbon fiber. That's what allows it to have higher cabin pressure and humidity.

Why do we need a new tax just for this though. We should just raise capital gains tax and make it progressive.

I doubt it. Public contracts would be the bulk, if not the overwhelming majority of their business. Just like with SpaceX, which relies heavily on NASA and USAF contracts.

There is a much better cure: abolish elections in favor of a sortition-based system. Selecting leaders by lottery seems counterintuitive, but it has a lot of advantages. It prevents the creation of cabals and a political class, reduces the

People sure have been saying that a lot, and at first I believed it. However I'm becoming increasingly convinced that this isn't the case. These people do have grievances, sure, but I doubt they could actually even articulate most

No, dumb ideas like building a wall thinking it will keep out immigrants.

The Dominican Republic isn't a Muslim country. I doubt you will be searched.
