Much of that material is okay, but unfortunately a lot of truth has also gotten pretty badly mangled and misinterpreted. They cite Terman that dawn simulation is not quite as good as light box therapy but better than placebo (true!), howeve

Traditional light therapy is 10000 lux for 30 minutes. The earliest research used 2500 lux for 2 hours. If you have Bipolar I the probability of undesirable side effects is much higher and you have to be more cautious with the trio of inten

Exactly. I've taken to buying 'organic' carrots that are smaller and have had the leaves left on simply because they taste like.. well, carrots. The huge carrots in the 2 lb bag mass-market bag are tasteless in comparison. I&

Still unclear, to the point of being simply wrong. One feature of preprint repositories is to decouple the science from the control of publishers. How do publishers have a say over what can and cannot be posted to these repositories? Partic

Perhaps that's related to the fact (from the article) that video gambling remains illegal in Chicago?

It really is a blight. Everywhere you go (other than Chicago) there are sleazy-looking banners offering video gambling. Even unexpected places. Literally every strip mall I'm aware of has at least one, regardless of the income tier the

On my machine, the linked 'threader' has every video as a busted icon, which defeats the entire topic. Twitter handles them correctly. Thank you. One thing I found interesting that the author didn't seem to notice is that the

Much better examples are found in the authors' supplemental materials [0], showing the input to the program (the raw image annotated with circles and an arrow) and the results. I particularly liked the Calvin & Hobbes animation [1]

Thankfully, this isn't true. Employees cannot engage in deceit, intend that you rely on the deception (i.e. 'making the sale' once you believe them), and have their business profit from the action. This is the cornerstone of

I fully agree with your assessment. Note that I characterized KitSplit's actions as a clear violation of criminal law, if they had ocurred in my state. Certainly if KitSplit is criminally liable, there's also a sound civil case ag

It's not merely that he didn't do everything right. This is a victim that still uses the service and doesn't seem to have bothered to get the insurance he's now been very clearly warned he needs.

I would feel sympathy for the guy you describe! However, that's not the author of this article: 1) Not 'generously'. He was entirely profit-driven. In the article he describes his motivation as "I could possibly corner

Basically this entire article comes down to the fact that agents of KitSplit lied to his face in an online chat, and he wasn't savvy enough to keep a transcript of that chat. I honestly don't feel any sympathy for the guy. Any tim

Not only that, but Twitch Prime's no-advertising benefit is disappearing. New prime subscriptions or renewals after September 14 will no longer have that feature. Instead, it will cost $108/year to purchase separately. https:&#x2
