This appears to be the Napster of journal articles. And if that is the case, it will soon rightfully be sued into the ground but not before doing damage to the oligopoly of journal publishers. And then hopefully we will use the technology,

Yes - except that last week the article [1] about power and autonomy discussed how people seek power in a misguided attempt at autonomy. If you think in survivalistic terms, the most powerful position to be in is one where others need you (

Empathy without boundaries is bad, just like apathy and psychopathy without boundaries are bad. The key is not disregarding or villainizing empathy, but reframing it in a way that says "given my desire to help people, how can I best do

Racing a car applies in two ways I think: the talent is not evenly distributed, and the masters are defined by their ability to decide when to go fast, and when to go slow.

Yes. 30% of people in NA aim to eat GF, where 5% have the Celiac gene, meaning 25% of people could be sensitive to FODMAPs or just misguided, but will never (as in genetically impossible) have existential health problem (ie. Celiac and co-m

I have Celiac. Celiac is a genetic condition that people die from and this is a medical device. Your comment equates to avoiding people with cancer in their genes or who believe they may have cancer in their genes, so by this you must be re

I have Celiac too. With respect to the GF fad, one thing to note is that everyone with an HLA-DQ2.5 or HLA-DQ8 (less so) gene variant (homozygote or heterozygote) responds to gliadin (wheat protein) with an autoimmune inflammatory response.

The bet would be joosters gets a dollar for every dollar short of break-even the Ethereum industry is, and you get one for every dollar it creates in surplus. Or you can change to order of magnitude, to make it more viable.

I obfuscate using UglifyJS before sending. I send it with a file that runs the program and all the dependency libraries built in so it is self contained in a zipped folder. The customer downloads the folder, unzips it and runs it.

Our bodies are designed to continue eating until we obtain the nutrients we need - which is why junk food is not satisfying and we eat more of it. Try and overeat a meal consisting of pumpkin seeds, spinach, quinoa and berries.

I think you could shorthand cuteness to what it causes, which is joy. And whales cause joy when you watch them because of their unique size (large) and temperament. So whales get love where poisonous frogs with giant eyes might not.

In general, humans are interdependent for survival. Not like wolfes (independent) or ants (dependent). Everyone likes to feel useful, on a survival level, to others. It is like genetically built in (healthy) narcissism. UBI will keep people

For me, it was a fear driven response to anti-science rhetoric. I think anti-vaccine narrative really convinced me the extent to which people act irrationally about personal health. I observed parents self-diagnosing their children with all

This study does not surprise me. All four of my grandparents were educators for their entire career. And as a result, my parents decided to unschool my brothers and I. In trying to be as objective and self-aware as possible, it is clear to

I agree with this. I would be ADHD if my parents sent me to school and/or believed in those diagnoses. I have yet to meet a gifted child male that does not qualify as ADHD. It is interesting to hear what you have mastered vs. struggled
