   Can you recommend "performance wear" made out of natural fibers? Specifically rain jackets and clothing that has some amount of waterproofness?

   Sounds similar to Jevon's Paradox [1], where consumption rises with increasing energy efficiency. Also, as transportation gets faster, commutes don't get shorter, people just move farther and farther from their workplace. I'm

   Thank you for your story. About a year ago I had a fall from about 30 feet. Concussion, both ankles shattered, wheelchair bound for a few months. The sheer joy and gratitude at being alive after the surety of imminent death was a profound e

   What would you say are "most of the things that historians agree are more important than environmental determinism" that Diamond ignores?

   Presumably vat-grown 'human' meat would be free of prion risk?

   There's an excellent essay by the evolutionary biologist Steven Jay Gould about sexual dimorphism [0], mostly in the context of anglerfish, but which also mentions a parasitic mollusk, of which the male embeds itself in the female body

   Thanks for the post. I'm a big osmand user, but have never tried BRouter. Is it significantly better than the built in routing?

   Incredibly vague article. And the featured company's website is equally vague [1]. No mention of any technology they use, or effectiveness. Just some buzzwords about 'chemical free' and 'regenerative' farming. [1]

    Thanks for the recommendation. I really enjoyed "A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush" by him some years ago.

    That's an interesting thought. I wonder if there are any parallels with how hypothermia can be induced to preserve brain function (following a period of hypoxia)?

    Not much volcanic activity in Tierra del Fuego. AFAIK it was named after the many fires of the natives.

    I had a similar cracking problem on the lid near the hinge on a X1 Carbon 6. I had the insurance, and still had to hastle them on the online forum to get it fixed.

    As a contrast to 'The Language Instinct' I would highly recommend 'Don't Sleep There are Snakes' by linguist Daniel Everett, which follows his time living with a remote tribe in the Amazon and learning their languag

    Far, far more than millions of chicken. According to this NY Times article 23 billion alive at any one time. [1] The most numerous bird species in the world. [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/11/science&#x2

    Thanks for that. The interplay between human parasite evolution is fascinating. Here's a good paper I read some years back about helminth infections and the beneficial effect on autoimmune disorders (among other things) [1]. [1] http

    Does anyone know of a tool like pdf-tools but for annotating epub? Ideally I have an epub that I read on my kobo ereader. Afterwards I have a number of annotations (highlights) that I have listed in plain text. I would like to be have the e

    Any tips for improving the general trackpad experience with lip-input? Recently started running arch on an X1 carbon and wondering what I can do to make the trackpad better.

    There's no mention of diversity of tree species, or efforts to match species with local conditions. Mass tree planting efforts can be relatively unsuccessful, see China's Great Green Wall Project [1] which has resulted in large mo

    This reminds me of a great This American Life episode, 'In Defense of Ignorance' [1], that deals with this theme, only the ignorant person was the one dying. It follows an elderly Chinese woman whose terminal cancer diagnosis was

    One of the most dangerous things I ever did was drive a motorcycle in India, with no almost no previous motorcycle driving experience. Exhilarating and very stupid.

    Yeah, that's also true. But the dams will still silt up. This is a huge problem worldwide.
