Would you want to elaborate about the calculations/estimates and share any top readings you've found? In many cases, the purpose of education depends on socioeconomic class or what you, your parents, and/or your social groups

Test out what happens to you when you alter sleep habits. How much uninterrupted sleep do you prefer and when? What are the effects of naps during the day on metrics you care about? Keep the traditional sleep log, and track your other re

Yes, deliberate abuse of the laws would be the main problem and nobody could be trusted to run such a lucrative fine program. It would just be another excuse to treat people like piggy banks and to rob them as often as possible.

There is definitely memory, but HN also has new members. If repeat topics move up to a top location, this probably reflects the number of people who hadn't yet seen the topic. "Not new, but new to you."

I see articles like these as useful reminders that human actions have consequences which need to be understood and mitigated if they are bad enough. We don't want to become numb to the signs of systematic and widespread problems. On th

Great habit. Trash picking is excellent because people throw out such great stuff. Perfect working condition, sometimes perfect condition period, sometimes just good for materials. One such Mr. trash picking is shown here with his pile o

You are absolutely correct about the need for people to be making decisions. A small number of people have already averted what could have been global nuclear war ( https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/oct&#x2F

Storage is a fascinating issue, but I doubt the enteric nervous system would store or process any of the information we find in the central nervous system including personality or personality-related memory. Instead, we do know that the syn

You are correct that course sizes matter to educational outcomes for a variety of reasons. If the groups are too small, it is possible that nobody has enough of what is needed for the class and everybody flounders, requiring intensive inst
