   Lift heavy weights. Not for strength or physique (though that's nice too), but because it increases independence and mobility into old age, decreases likelihood of falls, and increases bone density. Basically it prevents you from sitti

   I take it as adding emphasis to their statements. As a way to convey intensity. I probably would have never noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out. Maybe it's a new mannerism, like vocal fry.

   I wrote a triangular arbitrage bot for cryptocurrencies on Binance, and made like 0.01 ETH with ~0.3 ETH. I think that was just luck though, because all three trades would never go through right away because the price anomaly that caused th

   I edited the hosts file on my phone to redirect reddit to 127.0.0.1. You need root to do it, but now I can't reach Reddit at all on my phone, even on my browser. (Reddit is the worst vice for me).

   I think part of it is the personal nature of the discussion. It is full of intelligent, successful people who tend to think for themselves and do lots of interesting things outside of the internet. It can be intimidating and can make one wo

    The Facebook app tracks location and other peoples' locations, and makes assumptions based on people being at the same place at the same time. If Facebook (or whoever) knows that several other people are all interested in new houses,

    I wish Hubski would take off more. The design is purpose-built for respectful, intelligent discussion.

    Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood is meant to carry on Mr. Roger's legacy. They talk about feelings in every episode, and deal with childhood issues like Mr. Roger. It's wonderful. They also have some of the same characters, and th

    That's a real thing, and yes, they do. They're called weighted blankets and my wife has one. They're clinically shown to help with anxiety.

    But this leaves pressure and specific volume out of the equation, does it not? Lots of molecules can be liquid in the right environment.

    The company I work for does a lot of defense sector work, so most of us have a clearance. I know of zero drug use besides the occasional social drinking. It seems like half of us, including me, practically live off of caffeine, but that&#x2

    What do smart people think about NANO (Formerly Raiblocks)? It also uses a DAG scheme and has fast transactions with no fees, and it's already decentralized.

    I thought about it, and I think the unpopularity of Coconut might be due to the existence of the Toolz library. That gives most things that Coconut does minus better lamda and TCO.

    Wow, this looks very cool! Why is this not more popular? Coconut seems like something many people, including me, would want to use for every Python project of sufficient complexity. What's the catch?

    At the cost of being downvoted, I like The Fountainhead for this. Trusting your own judgement, daring to create something beautiful even if nobody else appreciates it, even if everyone else hates you for it. Because it's beautiful an
