I don't think HIIT or fasting is necessary. A workmate's father (BMI >> 40) went to BMI < 30 by getting a job as a security guard, and walking ten miles a night. From my own hiking experience, that the first few days my a

And a sixth factor, North-West Europe's backwardness in anthropological terms, which enabled labour mobility, moving to where the work was. Most of Eurasia had a communitarian family form, in which adult sons and their spouses lived wi

There was also a fourth factor, the concentration of a literate and mechanically skilled[1] workforce in the areas that industrialised first, the Midlands. Making ploughs and other agricultural machinery, cutlery, military arms, and other b

Well, the hype didn't match reality. Cynical take: it was always about frightening workers into not demanding pay rises.

Interesting idea, but I don't think it'd work, as most people aren't critical (sceptical) readers.

946 comments! Here is mine. The Boomers, the generation born 1945 - 1965, benefited from affordable housing, and when it grew up, set about making housing an investment. 'Affordable ' and 'investment' are mutually exclu

If the statisticoids floating about, about the proportion of women that have onlyfans accounts, are anything near reality, the conclusion must be that a lot of women like commodifying their bodies. So is the problem that AI is competition

It was always a silly idea to let domestic solar connect to the grid. Dual wiring systems inside the buildings was the way to go. But then I thought letting Turkey into NATO was stupid too, so what do I know?

If it doesn't feel like a good time to most people, then it isn't a good time. No one cares, or no one should care, about "the economy", some abstract bogeyman that the MSM is always going on about. They should be cari

Managers forget that setting pay equal to marginal productivity means that marginal productivity will be equal to pay. And that the margin is quite broad.

No, we need ~100 breakthroughs in science and a similar number in engineering for fusion to compete with solar which is headed for under $1 per MWh capital cost.

Despite the obvious attempt to generate outrage (negative feedback to a child when he does something wrong has to be instant to be effective), a reasonably fair article.

I would put it as follows: in the last 30 years there have been real advances in practical nanotechnology. Not Drexlerian nanomachine fantasies, but nanometre scale control of the surface geometry of materials. Controlling surface geometri

Yeah, it's a dead end. That French guy, whatisname, J-B Fourier, said pretty much 99% of what you need to know about this way back in the early 1800s.

No and no. Anyone can't do it, and "anyone can do it" does not mean "everyone can do it". Individuals' available choices are constrained by the choices of people around them. If you live in a food desert and yo

They want the option to have kids, at some yet-to-be-determined later time. It's St. Augustine: "please, God, make me good, but not just yet". I want kids, but not now. They have also been sold the idea that having children
