I don't think it's implied that she's making the claim that this group is going to be perfectly representative of their target demographic. She's simply saying that there is heterogeneity in a group that is ostensibly ho

You don't have to look very far. A systemic review of 26 studies [1] in 2019 found that: "Although variability in the cannabis products used, outcomes assessed, and study quality limits the conclusions that can be made, modest red

I think most people agree that weed shouldn't be a schedule 1 drug, but I believe that the movement to decriminalize will have unforeseen consequences on our society. Marijuana use leads to cognitive decline and exacerbates psychiatric

I sort of responded to this idea in another comment, but again. How can you take ‘personal credit’ (as if you could have acted otherwise) for choosing to change your behavior? Isn’t that an idea that also just appears in consciousness that

Are you positing that you have free will but that those around you with less emotional control don’t? I don’t think your example is serving your argument; your brain is structured in such a way that you reason in a way that is unique to you

How do you know you experience it beyond a reasonable doubt? Thoughts and intentions just seemingly appear in consciousness, without any explanation as to how they arose. Feelings are like this too; we don’t determine how we feel, we are si

I’m in China right now and I can unequivocally tell you that this is not true. I can hardly see the sun and it’s not due to overcast weather.

Incapable is a strong word—but much (if not most) of the Muslim world advocates for Sharia law which is essentially the opposite of a democracy. When it's practiced in it's truest form it's the most repressive system of laws

"Democratic" is pushing it a tad too far—none of the Islamic world follows a rule of law that would be something akin to a democracy; they're monarchies, theocracies, or in many cases autocracies. The only actual democracy in

There are many podcasts that exist on Google podcasts but aren’t listed on YouTube music. Maybe around 20% of my podcast collection doesn’t exist on YouTube music; and they aren’t fringe podcasts either. Many are very mainstream. This makes

People can (and very readily do) develop metabolic diseases from consuming a poor diet at a normal weight. People develop insulin resistance and become diabetes quite commonly in this circumstance, but they can also develop liver, cardiovas

Vector networks are interesting, but I've always found their addition into Figma to be an solution that was implemented by engineers to scratch their own fancy rather than to be used practically in the real world. Vector networks would

I feel like you are wearing some very strong rose colored glasses; I personally think it’s naive to believe that remote workers are always highly engaged. People optimize their work productivity around different personal goals.. and I have

I don't know, I feel like the work produced through voice acting is more of a commodity than work in the other industries that you're describing. Sure, a voice actor can add a lot of emotion and verbal nuance in a way that is diff

What you're not considering here is that a large majority of this industry is made up of no-name voice actors who have a pleasant (but perfectly substitutible) voice which is now something that AI can do perfectly and at a fraction of

Um, no. Just have the control group do anything that is not a cold shower and then compare the results between both groups. Yes the findings may not be applicable to the entire human population but that is true with any RCT.

I could see someone making the exact same arguments that you're making about caffeine: you need to increase the dose over time, it's habit forming, people are not the same when they're not on it, etc; but many would argue tha

Red meat is not necessarily high in omega 6, and on the contrary grass fed meat can be high in omega 3. Also the debate is still out on whether or not omega 6 is inflammatory or not, and even omega 6 rich nuts are probably health promoting

Yeah, that’s strange; I’d say keep investigating. Again I think it’s about cost benefit. I’ve had a few friends who tried trazodone off my remarks and the ramping on period is tough for many. Sometimes the side effects go away and maybe som

It’s not strictly for bedwetting. I’d generally wake up a few times a night to urinate and I’d noticed that my sleep would become very fragmented for 30-60min before actually being fully awaken to void. Knowing that this was affecting my sl

That may not necessarily be totally true, you're most likely referring to hypnotics (ambien, lunesta, etc)—which were used by doctors for patients in some circumstances but are slowly falling out of fashion for the reasons you describe

I think there’s probably some game theory at play. I can imagine the mindset of the vandals mirroring a train of thought that I share somewhat: 1. This autonomous robot is not doing anything for me, and is helping someone else realize their
