>"I am willing to treat this claim more credibly" That's a personal heuristic - a very reasonable one, but it's still an argument from authority.

Doing that made me feel insecure. Reading this helps with that.

This is very impressive! But honestly I am here to comment about the humor in the demo video. The section towards the end starting from the shrinkwrapped newts genuinely made me laugh.

I have privacy concerns with fitness trackers, so I did a search and found this: https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge Seems very interesting, if this project is any good (certainly looks like it is) I may jus

To add another n=1, I have severe allergies, not quite life threatening but almost (partial but significant throat constriction upon exposure), and I've never had a cavity and seem almost incapable of getting one. I only brush one time

You're right. However, being there and doing low-impact work like planning the next day in my head yields the same suspicion.

I've had trouble finding a workplace that understood this. Even on the days where I put in 5-6 hours of high quality work I'd attract the suspicion of managers. After that they typically begin to "check on me" regularly

Can we stop pretending birth rate decline couldn't self-stabilize? I don't see populations organically shrinking to 0 as a realistic scenario. I for one am tired of extremely misguided and unjustified attempts at engineering every

I find the more studies I read, the higher the stakes seem, because the theories I've read are highly contradictory yet their proponents seem very polarized and very sure of themselves. Some theories that have been prematurely accepted

Amyloid plaque accretion reminds me of cholesterol accretion, and there is a recent school of thought whereby: - Heart disease is actually caused by metabolic syndrome (read: same cause as diabetes) - Alzheimers is analogous to diabetes (so

I really really appreciate the detailed writeup on the design/engineering. Thanks for doing this!

I think you're greatly underestimating how much more cumbersome torrenting is even compared to a plugin, especially for "normal" users who are not necessarily tech-savvy.

This would be an authoritarian action, compared to just opting out of supporting something. There's a huge difference and I think these organizations' supposed interest in ethics precludes that sort of move. DRM is not illegitimat

This is the most plausible outcome. Netflix wouldn't just leave that money on the table and the most obvious thing to do would be to provide the support they want from browsers themselves. Users follow use cases and would not be averse

At this point in my life I have gotten sick of almost every recipe I read and every meal I order in restaurants tasting like garlic. It is such a stereotypical "chefy" ingredient that it's become a crutch. The last 3 restaura

This comes off as a weak gimmick behind which there is very little substance.

I also wanted to say in my last comment that most government endorsed diets only recommend limiting added sugar. Also, much of that bro-science is now being promoted by many MDs and there's a good chance you'll see some of it be

Most national dietary guidelines seem to be fairly high in carbs imho. There is a huge debate currently, between government endorsed diets, plant-based, and keto, and each group is able to cite numerous studies that contradict the others&#x

Because metabolic insulinemia is out of control these days and I find the keto people's studies quite convincing (look into Ivor Cummins' presentations on YouTube), in addition to hearing similar points of view even in some anti-k

Amid the neverending diet controversy it seems safest to do low carb (non-keto), medium high-quality fat of which a majority is monounsaturated, medium protein - and be aware not to reduce saturated fat too much as it's not that scary

Background: We had rescued a baby sparrow with an injured leg. There was no way to return it to its nest (it was at the nestling stage), and we'd already seen dozens die and not a single one get rescued by the parents after falling thr

Well written article (or is it an excerpt from Montgomery's book, itself discussing an excerpt from another book? I can't quite tell). My ADHD didn't stand a chance and I couldn't stop reading. From my experience, I am c
