it’s bad in the way of “don’t think about elephants” makes you think about elephants. “Try not to stress” or “reduce stress” – but how to do that? Stress itself is nebulous, and the countermeasures are inconclusive. Think of the last time

in this case “useful” means applying the facts and making changes. A detailed map that goes unused is useless. A hand drawn map that gets you home is priceless. People don’t need more facts and information – those are in surplus. In fact,

“Stress” is so abused and nebulous that it’s impossible to define. Nearly every condition is worsened by “stress” but there’s no way to measure it. And there’s no conclusive way to manage stress either. Medication, psychotropics, self medi

Walking and eating sensibly is free. Even a balance oatmeal, rice & beans with infrequent meat servings would defend against heart disease better than expensive medicine, at less than $1 / day.

Fabulous information, but lacking information isn’t the issue. The behavioral changes are obvious and well evangelized : lose weight, regular activity (walking), and if necessary, take meds. (Yes I know your marathon runner cousin who died

they're fighting the wrong enemy. News content is such low quality, archive.is is the only enjoyable way to consume them. Their articles aren't worth wading through relentless popups. IF I'm curious about a fact or story, i

it's a correlation not a causation. "smart people" (actually just over achievers like those who excel at aptitude tests or collect diplomas) tend to be overly contemplative. Dwelling on things rarely resolves them, and us

The issue of letting consumers choose the worse product is that the good products get pushed out of the market. Grocery floorspace that was once primarily staples and whole foods is mostly now junkfood. Proper razors have been replaced with

his dishwasher detergent videos are a good example of an "improved" product being more expensive and less effective (like disposable razors). With better understanding you can achieve far better results. I no longer rinse or even

even the cheap costco pods are 3x the cost of powder. And his point is that the pods undermine the dishwasher because they don't let you control when and how much detergent is deployed during the multiple washing cycles. powder deploy

What I always say when given a false choice: ¿porque no las dos? vcpu, iops, transfer fees, storage -- they are all resources going into a pool . If Hetzner is giving you 10TB for $100 , then host your static files/images there and sav

My understanding is that you can be RealID compliant without checking for citizenship. And in theory RealID doesn’t have to have RFID in the chip. Enhanced ID has to have both of those requirements.

It sounds great and I’m not against Uv . It probably is the best . I’m wondering what’s wrong with the Python community that 25 years sees 10 package managers. I’m not being cynical it’s a clinical / empirical question
