If you are interested in the history of smell, one of the first book to touch upon the subject in the 80's is a highly recommended read: https://www.amazon.com/Foul-Fragrant-French-Social-Imaginati... The lack of smell

This is why human resolution layers such as Kleros exist. You can rely on human juries to resolve certain conflicts that automation could not possibly handle. The system relies on game theory to disincentivize dishonest jurors. Whether it w

I wish more science, and generally more work was done this way. Dispense with ego-flattering prizes, narratives of discovery that put lone geniuses in the spotlight, turning PIs heroes and dictators at the expense of their team... I underst

One could make the same case for prostitution. It is legalized or decriminalized in many countries (Australia, Netherlands, Germany...), so sex is widely available to those who need it and the price is not particularly high either. Especial

I've lived in Japan for a long time too and while the dishes are familiar, I've never seen anything like the knives presented in the article. They look more like novelty items you'd get from the home shopping channel than a s

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but anyways: Maybe I should have added reliable to data. I'm highly skeptical of the ~4000 deaths figure reported as the death count for China and I have the sense that the authors of the stud

yes but it's not like they surveyed every country in the world though. I would expect China or India to have a higher number of deaths overall if the data were available. It just does not seem like a meaningful statistic given the samp

I remember many years ago when I first moved to Asia, people looked at me wide-eyed whenever I took medicine with orange juice or a can of soda. I dismissed it as some urban legend on the level of the fan-death [1] until a doctor explained
