There can't be evidence for something for which no evidence was sought. Coming from academic physics background, the state of medical research boggles me. Let's start from so called "meta studies". Why are they needed? Y

According to my family, I'm a 35 year old man-child so apparently humans can do the same. I don't want to find an out if a strong enough stressor turns me into and adult or not.

Good and bad effects are not mutually exclusive. Coffee can, at the same time, be good for you on one metric and bad on another. The same for different time scales; coffee might be good for you on short-to-medium time scales, but bad on ver

I'm surprised by how often programmers coming from software engineering background do this wrong. I started programming in science and there it's absolutely necessary to think about this stuff. Doing for loops in a wrong order can

Can someone who understands more about chemistry tell me where exactly which detergents use alcohol ethoxylates and how do I spot them from the label? Should I be concerned about this at home?

Only if you accept that the system itself is moral. If you think it's an oppressive power structure that violently conquered traditional, small scale communities and forced them to live under its thumb, I think there's nothing wro

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Property taxes in remote locations are not very high. Neither are rents in dying villages. Living off the free 500 euros a month is certainly doable here in Finland, and, in fact, reg

Is the goal to live without working or without being in the system? If it's the first, maybe living here, in Finland, in a small, cheap village and living off the unemployment benefits would work. There are plenty of people who have be

Replying to my own comment with another method to get a low prediction rate: pick a song or a beat and drum the buttons to the tune of that song (how you map more than two different sounds to just two buttons is up to you).

After reading how it works, I can get to around 50% by doing the following: pick a pattern of f's and d's of length between 1-5. Type that pattern. Pause for a second or two. Then change the pattern. Patterns can be, for example:

I think the point is that all these traits are multiplicative, not summative. Your maximum running speed at the age of 40 is maybe 0.8 times what it was when you were 20, not your running speed at the age of 20 minus some. And when you have
