Russian oligarchs don't make their money by trade and cargo. Lol. Russian oligarchs make their money by robbing Russia and russians. They want to continue undisturbed.

There is and there could have been democracy and prosperity like in ALL, ALL of ex-soviet states that joined NATO and EU. All of those countries make Russia look like a shithole. That's what got Putin so enraged. NATO is a security g

Russia does not care about Ukraine joining NATO, Russia has nukes. Russian politicians care about Ukraine being a prospering democracy and a model for russian citizens. That's it.

I loved Thrill of the Fight. I sweat like a pig on it. Too bad I get obsessed with fast knockout punches and my shoulders hurt like hell after a couple of days. I also learnt the hardway you cannot outrun a bad diet. I would routinely bu

But there's no need to look into fish or gorillas, as a child I was very different than today. Hormones, neurotransmitters, all make a big difference, sure. But humans do not show such a pronounced dimorphism and human minds are extrem

Some people, sure, but I'm willing to bet it's not because they want to to more easily dump the other person. Most of them, at least.

Surely love has functional meaning, just like all sensations and feelings. Love is one of the most powerful feelings that can bring joy or so much sorrow for some. Do the biochemical aspects of love matter that much? When it is no longe

A bit like haiku, wonderful when you read it, extremely hard to maintain conversations in haiku. Or like an improv exercise where you have to improvise a dialogue, but only by using questions, no afirmations. Can it be done? Sure, but not

There's soo much we don't know at this point. 1. I'd presume life is exceedingly rare to start with, but I guess in the future we'll get a lot more tech to verify that -- direct imaging for biomarkers? 2. I'm sure t

Why couldn't they just use a brain wallet on an offline device with no internal storage. Keep a hand written copy of the generated passphrase laminated in some plastic in some fake plaster rock under a tree in a wood or something.

We obviously don't have the full picture about sensations -- they might be a side effect of specialized (biochemical) neural architectures, but more likely there is something intrinsic to them that grants advantages to sensations. Ther

You can go to any place, anywhere on Earth, at any point in time, make a joke about marriage and some human will get it. Not on HN though :)

Just unfollow everybody. It's such a liberating thing to do. You can still manually check on people if you want to and you can still message them. After a few weeks it feels like a superpower "wow, so I can just use facebook for

I my case the things that helped the most: 1) Melatonin 300mcg (2 drops) -- usually after 2-3 days, taking it I found I don't need it for another 3-4 days. No tolerance at 300mcg. I've tried other drugs that I still use for when

by raducu 5y ago
Just get melatonin drops. They say 1.5mg on the label, but that's for 10 drops or 150mcg per drop, so you can take 2 drops for 300mcg or 3 drops for 450mcg.
