The full paper can be found here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsd... Also probably worth mentioning that this paper is from 2015.

I recommend this article for another essay on this topic: https://www.zocalopublicsquare.org/2011/11/30/how-doctors-di... It really boils down to quality over quantity. After all, I'm sure most would cho

I ran into this a lot during in university at the end of terms. Lots of people moving out without a lot of time to get rid of their items - in particular international students that couldn't bring items home with them for the summer. T

I wouldn't be too concerned as renewables and nuclear technology should be at the point where it would be able to pick up the slack - we know the end is coming and we can prepare for it. An interesting thought experiment is whether or

It does seem very similar to the implementation of HIBP's Pwned Passwords by Junade Ali[0]. I haven't delved into the nitty gritty details/differences between the two, but they do seem to use similar techniques to guarantee k

Just thinking about how much work and research from organizations like the CDC put in to preventing another Spanish flu-like pandemic for humans, it seems shockingly obvious that pandemics would be occurring for other species where technolo

Nitpick, but given how widespread Buddhism is in East Asia, I would not be surprised if it were also quite practical to be vegetarian in both Korea and Vietnam. I do agree that there are locations where being vegetarian would be more diffic

By "whites" here, I assume you mean "white-collar workers". Usually, in vernacular, "whites" is taken as a slightly derogatory metonym for "white people", so I was initially slightly taken aback by yo

From that bit about Jack Horner, I can't help but be reminded of this panel[0] from a Spider-Man comic. [0] https://i.imgur.com/lmeZ6SD.jpg

Albeit, it is slightly stranger in the Trump situation as the majority of voters didn't actually choose him as their president. Not to mention the fact that voter turnout is rather low in the US compared to most other democratic countr

This is potentially precedent as a legal blocker for public adoption of self-driving cars. If I am to serve a 1 year prison sentence for faulty code or a deprecated LIDAR sensor, I don't see in what scenario I would be willing to leave

Not to be too pessimistic, but there's no reason that there should only be one "Great Filter". There could easily be multiple astronomically improbable events barring interstellar civilizations from bearing fruition. It might

From a friend, I've heard great things about the treatment they got as part of The Animation Guild, and I imagine that that demographic of artists and creators is quite similar to the "young starry eyed people" going into the

I recall reading some of his unpublished writings after they were leaked on what.cd, and I'm sure if you dig around some you'd be able to find mirrors somewhere on the web. Included in the leak was "The Ocean Full of Bowling

It's not an uncommon tactic to give homeless one-way tickets to other cities. In fact, San Francisco actively does it as well [0]. It doesn't seem like San Francisco and cities like it are particularly targeted for this kind of ac

Somewhat related to smell, here's a fun chemical that you might not have heard about: thioacetone. Thioacetone (and some other organosulfur compounds) are extremely malodorous. During distillation of this chemical in the German city of

Per whockey's comment here[0], it doesn't seem like Plaid is selling your data directly to 3rd parties - though it doesn't prevent the developers you're giving your data to from selling it. [0] https://news.yc

This seems intuitively incorrect especially if insomnia is linked "with illnesses such as dementia and depression". If they are controlling for these "confounding factors", it's highly possible that they're jus

I don't know much when it comes to audio amp design, but this reminds me greatly of the O2 headphone amp[0] - that anecdotally a few of my friends have soldered for their personal use. [0] http://nwavguy.blogspot.com/20

A great book on this subject is Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces. His theory of the archetypal hero and the theory of the monomyth is a great influence on anlyses like this one (and also on some artistic works - includi

I would say that your mind already looks for fictitious narratives naturally. Cause is not so correlated with effect in reality, but we still attempt to apply myth and storylines (this especially applies with histories as they are usually t

I highly recommend reading gwern[1] if one is interested in the current state of what nootropics are being used/considered significant. It is anecdotal, but also includes many references to literature to those more inclined. [1] https
