I think the whole point of this study was to see how muscles reacted to that were unrelated to those trained by the athlete's sport. I suppose it would be interesting but would be a bit like comparing runners and weightlifters to seden

There is a less favorable reason you are right. Cars are getting more expensive and people can't afford them even with ever lengthening loan lengths...

I do love Homebrew but windows has chocolatey which is an analog or you could just use the windows Linux subsystem and use the native apt or yum tools.

The ACLU link is literally a timeline of events. Care to refute those instead of just making an ad hominem?

I'm confused why elon says 2/3rds of shareholders would keep invested in a private Tesla. How would they ever get their money back out? Only if they went public in future or if they sold to another party? Based in their market cap

Back when CDs were a thing and VERY slow modems were the norm you could find Slackware in bookstores, places like CompUSA, RadioShack, Circuit City, etc. This was many folks' first exposure to Linux, Open Source Software, etc. and led

Our smartphones are dopamine triggering skinner boxes. I don't use social media on my phone at all unless you would term reddit and hacker news social media. I consider them news aggregators. But the content I get from them is addictiv

Eh? Sort of like the NSA intercepting routers and flashing them? Pretty hard to trust anyone at this point. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa...

Pretty sure that is somewhat covered by this though perhaps since the value must remain the same it is less valuable: https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/networth/article/How-ol...

I can see it both ways. As a CEO you are literally everyone's boss but at the same time you probably work close to 100% at the time so your "tinder time" is going to be pretty lacking.

I get everything you said but the eternally damaged metabolism. Don't have the source handy on mobile but from what I have read the difference between a so-called fast and slow metabolism is < 10%. Food is absolutely addictive and

I do actually live here. Hence the mention of the things I like about it. I was just using nice round numbers as an estimate and trying to say cost of living matters but the #1 thing I pay for here vs another American city is rent. Grocerie

I may be wrong but twice seems a stretch. I have heard of companies for instance supposedly paying a 25% premium compared to somewhere like Denver. So say 100k in Denver is 125k in redwood City. Of that 25k you get to keep about 18k... So i

We kill an incredible amount of civilians as well. Supposedly this article is well researched with sources but it is trivial to search for 'civilian deaths in x' and get results in the 100k to million range. https://www

Yup. There are all kinds of entities you are not allowed to do busines with. In fact you usually need to know who the end-user is, etc. However, this gets most important with ITAR and EAR which are items with military or "dual use&quot

My wife works in global trade and when the original violations were discovered she was surprised they were even given a 2nd chance. Their leaders are basically negligent at this point.

That is fascinating. Would love to read more about how this is determined and applied. To me a big issue is, does this drug cure a condition or merely treat and contain it...?

Who gave the data (what data?) for free? Facebook? Cambridge Analytical? Iiuc the whole brouhaha comes from 2 facts. 1. An old app (some survey app) sold it's data against fb's terms of services to an outside group. 2. Fb's a

For the first 6 years or so after I moved to California I rented a room in a house where the owner lived (once in La Habra and once in Irvine). There were usually 4 to 5 total people living there. We were all professionals and there was pre

What always stands out to me about Sir Roger Bannister is that once he broke 4, then others could too. It reminds me how many of our limits are mental and if you think you can't you definitely can't. But if you think you can, just

No source but I read an article that agreed with your idea. A surprisingly large percentage of people were in the upper income range (iirc it was top 5% or so) for at least one year though it could also be due to a windfall like inheritance

Might want to remind people that 80 proof = 40%. Thus by your examples: 5% * 12oz = 60, 40% * 1.5oz = 60, 10% * 8oz = 80,

They could have played games with the groups letting them get lapped but that would have probably been very challenging to implement.

Most treadmills max out at 10 mph or so. Maybe 12. I have run a 2:44 marathon and at my best I would have been able to keep up with them for about .5 miles (based on my 800 meter time of 2:10). Very few people can hit that pace without da

I had a harmony link that literally never worked. I complained to Logitech and got a discount for the harmony hub. Wasn't that happy about it but overall have been pretty pleased with Logitech products and support. And I do love my hub

Drivers have vastly different reflexes and visual acuity. I have been running for 25+ years and have on occasion been traveling at close to 10 mph and usually at least 8 mph. So California rolls are pretty much the bane of my existence. Thi
