Asafoetida tastes like garlic but does not ferment - replace garlic with it and then try reintroducing. Try eating raw vegetables or pho style (where the veggies cook lightly in the broth after being served but not enough to become easily f

It is fascinating the extent to which smart-ish coastal city liberals cannot conceive of an intelligent or even highly intelligent Trump voter. There are plenty of them.

Same story throughout family and friends who went to gifted class. I think gifted people seem to have extreme outcomes: more drug addicts, more suicide, more success, more power. Developmental orchids compared to the staggering ruggedness o

Australia is dumber than NZ. So the "dumb" NZers are leaving, and leaving makes them dumb, but their presence in Australia makes Australia smarter.

I think the key thing is not to sacrifice performance for form. Add all the stickers, GIFs, bots and other fancy features you want. But never let load time get under 200ms. Lots of people talking about how this makes it more broadly applica

Classic government. Self-driving technology should benchmarked against how good people are at driving (and how often they kill and injure people), as opposed to being proven intrinsically safe like a car part.

The irony is that liberal today means the government takes more money, and gives it to "the people". Which is not remotely classical liberal.

I am Canadian but I would gladly trade citizenship with someone in the event of a Trump win. Canada can provide all the "spending other people's capital income on unsolveable social problems" your heart desires while I enjoy

Yes. It is a literal description of autophagy.

It seems as though many of your historical posts are similarly angry "source-your-claims" posts. Here is an article entitled "Short-term fasting induces profound neuronal autophagy": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.g

How well would you say modern "liberals" handle facts in the domains of: - IQ testing - Evolutionary psychology - GMOs - Child development - Economics

In case anyone is interested in the personal implications of this, this is part the mechanism by which intermittent fasting gains it's health benefits. People have fasted for 16-48 hours and gained benefits through history but what is

I disagree. Take George Hotz and compare him to your everyday Harvard pedigreed Director of Sales at Facebook. Two stereotypes that look similar but require very different values, levels of conformity, etc. Just look at whoever is in tech b

I think the hubris is a necessary protection mechanism for the fact that without arrogance and conviction no progress would ever happen. Reasonable people get convinced not to rock the boat. Only unreasonable people ignore that "good&q

I am the same. I did a 23andme and found I had the highest risk gene for Celiac (HLA-DQ2.5). If you have that gene, you get an inflammatory response to gliadin (one of the proteins in gluten and mimicked by proteins in other things) regardl

So much more likely to succeed and so much less likely to make $100M. Definitely the surest path to $5-10M near the end of your career. If you only want <$5M perhaps being a corporate VP would be more optimal risk adjusted. This is my st

The gut biome is self reinforcing. If you eat nothing but sugar (simplified example) the bacteria that thrive will be the ones that most resourcefully consume sugar. Other strains will wither away entirely or to a very insignificant state.

Yes. Most businesses (start-ups might not be a good example) are primarily bottle-necked in their development by a lack of sales ability. If you know what the customers want really well and the existing solution to that problem does not add

Finance and law associates here make $80-100k including incentives. SW devs $60-100k. $300k+ CAD would be for partners, top sales people and consulting/law rainmakers.
