This article bugged me. It spoke about the fridge as a preservation tool but failed to point to the freezer. The very important part of a fridge! We all know that the freezer plays a big role in preserving all our produce. I cut and freeze

Daylight saving is not observed in few Australian states like Queensland, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Christmas Island or the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. They seem to be doing well.

I read that “every year on the Monday after the springtime switch, hospitals report a 24% spike in heart-attack visits around the US.”. Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/daylight-saving-time-is-dead... If this is true

I do quarterly blood panels to make sure all numbers are within range. All is good.

Ditto re 10K. I've been taking Vitamin D3 10K IU/day for 10 years and it has allowed my blood V-D3 levels to go from 12 ng/mL to ~50 which is within normal range. The NIH recommended dose has been going up over the last 2 dec

Promotion or Responsibility? If a remote worker is trusted, gets things done and is an important cog in the wheel then limiting their growth would be an unwise decision and ultimately cost the company a great employee. So why would remote w

Was thinking same. Like facebook trying to connect people which they did to an extend but also gave many spite and anxiety. The robot feels like a bandaid solution. If a robot is required then there are deeper issues that need to be address

Isn't that what stuffed animals are for? I see my kids interacting with theirs. If they had a robot I'd be worried it'd spit out some nonsense (due to a bug or malicious sabotage) that could traumatize the kid. Besides that,

Most of us are Vitamin D deficient. We do not spend enough time in direct sunlight for an hour with all our limbs exposed. I've been taking 5000 IU for last 10 years to maintain ~55 ng/mL after finding out I was dangerously low at

Unlike Magic Leap, wasn’t Segway the first personal transporter with self balancing technology? Ie. Setting a new bar. Hence others followed from that new standard. I’m not aware of Magic Leap setting any new bars.

As funny as this sounds I must agree. If they had something cool & innovative they could have shown the world and been upfront about the challenges to make it smaller. That could in turn bring new talent to help them. Instead we now see

I'm sorry I should have been more clear that my car was built for the race track. Came on 2 bar of boost really hard and with a twin plate clutch meant only few people managed to drive it without stalling. A car built for the race trac

Hahaha racing on an empty track in a car that’s built to handle like a go cart is nothing like the stress of a circuit race with other cars. I used to race my modified turbo 500hp and I can tell you that game racing is nada to real life rac

Spot on! and it's not like drugs got any cheaper by outsourcing them to China. They are bloody expensive and of much lower quality than locally produced. The book "Bottle of Lies" exposes the low quality of all generics which

Few days before the corona virus chaos started, we ordered a pack of PURELL hand sanitizers from Amazon. Then the chaos started and we wondered what will happen to our package. We tracked the package move around, then delays, then messages

Large-scale extreme response measures are a disaster waiting to happen. 1. 38% of nurses have children at school. Shutdown the country and 1/4 of the US healthcare industry will choose their children over work in a blink. We don't

Try running the video stream (YouTube has VR mode) in something as simple as cardboard/daydream. There’s something calming and focusing when your peripheral vision is silenced.

This assumes all problems are solved by throwing people at them. Isn’t this also one of the common reason why startups fizz out burning unnecessary capital too early? Grow grow grow at all expense. I see the value in having someone else hel

Epic is a cash cow private company. Sutter Health in the Bay Area paid $1B for its EHR. Epic stays quiet to protect its walled gardens; deeply integrated into hospital infrastructure. No doubt Google is a threat to them. Here’s an old artic

At Sutter, every machine is Windows and runs Epic integrated. Epic is much more than EHR. It’s a hospital layer sitting ontop of Windows. Naturally, it integrates with Active Directory and I can see why Google would have little dominance. S

Congrats to Plaid! Overall, I'm no fan to these scrapers. Apart from the army of engineers (internal cost) required to maintain them, on the outside they sell a promise that is putting user's privacy at risk. This is especially pr

Open Banking Standards in Commonwealth Countries will make the need for these scrapers redundant and limit the tools use to the US only. Never been a fan of scrapers. Very unreliable and a big security hole especially when MFA is used. I wo

Curious why no one has used a telescope to check out the drones. This be a far simpler and cheaper solution than dispatching planes or landing on them. Would it not work?

Ditto. Learning theory without real-life application makes it boring and people forget. Learning application without theory leads to hacks. Often the real-life application happens in the last year when it's too late for some. Maybe the
