Super interesting - friend is on a Adderall and Trazedone stack for energy/focus + sleep aid. Amitriptyline looks very interesting though I don't think they've tried that. Thanks for the information, it's such a frustrat

Super interesting - my friend has ME/CFS and/or Fibromyalgia and started GLP-1 but seemed to get only the negative side effects and not much benefit. Using Zepbound specifically. Is the Modafinil used for alertness or a different

Generally there Firms prize "first principles" thinking and don't put a ton of effort into leveraging previous engagements. Think of it like how engineers will throw out a solution and rebuild it rather than understand and bu

The whole fanbase is wondering the same! They have done a variety of multimedia experiences beyond light shows at their festivals and New Years Eve shows so are no strangers to using different tech. The most interesting thing will be how th

I'm guessing they are thinking of a scenario where SELECT * FROM User_Details gets sent directly to the front end. So even if all you are displaying is the users name or initials you would still be sending things like SSN and credit ca

I'd say a more accurate metaphor would be "I'm in debt and decided to ignore my biggest high interest loan in order to fully pay off my smallest low interest loan so I feel good about something" Sure it's good you h

What makes your 40s so good? I'm approaching them and would love some more things to look forward to!

This is really awesome, I think about to dive down a much deeper rabbit hole now. Thank you!

Genuinely curious - how would you go about getting the parts and building something like a Bottle head amp? I been eyeing them up for a while and think the appeal is that they package everything up nicely, like buying a Lego kit. I assumed

It isn't just social media, it is the combination of social media and smartphones. This makes social media far more pervasive in a teen's life. See section 6[0] where they discuss how mental health declines correlating with Facebo

Speed will make accidents worse (deadlier). Acceleration will make accidents more likely. Sports cars flooring it from a stop, losing traction and hitting a telephone pole is like a whole genre of YouTube videos.

I think they go hand in hand to a degree. There aren't many "non-processed" (picked off a tree, animal products, etc.) foods which are as calorie dense as processed foods. Having access to something like twinkies or a powerba

Populations are expected to keep rising until 2100 at least. India and China may see a big drop but everywhere else will continue to grow albeit slower than before https://ourworldindata.org/future-population-growth#global-p

Does your daily routine change when you microdose? Do you still take the cold shower and meditate and all that regardless of it being a microdose day or not? I found that when I was microdosing it made me way more mindful and apt to make &q

You might say they are using humans as an MVP/POC test for what their robots should be like. Make the humans as robotic as possible to see what features are really needed in the robots they eventually use.

The argument is usually that a license mechanism involves a registry and that the government having a list of every gun owner will lead to them taking citizens guns away or otherwise further restrictions.

I've also tried microdosing for a few weeks and generally agree with your take. However I still don't feel confident gauging how much placebo effect is part of it. Approaching microdosing as you mention (and as I did) - with a cle

When I'm training my dog I don't consider them to actually "know" a command until they recognize the word specifically. I can say "sit", "stay", or "lie down" in the exact same tone and my d

I believe the response is to you stating you could hire junior devs at lower cost so that you can hire more people and therefore not be zero sum. Posters example is hiring 2 juniors instead of 1 senior. The senior has one less job opening t

Steel vs wood doesn't really matter. The key to soundproofing is having sound absorbing mass in between walls. As long as you fill the gaps between drywall with a decent amount of insulation it should be reasonably sound proof. In fact

True but hardware makes it obvious why the image looks the way it does and is consistent. Photographers can even tell what lenses were used for a photo by looking at it. Software makes it more of a black box. The same picture taken days apa

Something about vinyl specifically is the fact that there is a real break in the album when one side ends. It requires some thought and gives an additional aspect to artists when creating the track listing. For example, "Stairway To He

Brands of cars are still very obvious with badging and model names. They could be identical vehicles but people will still use the more expensive version to signal.

This is all anecdotal but I have multiple friends who smoke regularly for years. I would consider them heavy smokers, think 5+ joints a day. Once their states had recreational or easily obtainable medicinal marijuana and the retail shops th

I agree 100% with the potency concerns. Many of the studies showing negative impact were using standards like "10 joints a day" which was easy to dismiss as that was an unreasonable amount of weed for most people. Now with wax, ti

This looks quite promising for some challenges I'm facing. Do you do anything towards having a central source of truth for API contracts? Like a single repo with the specs so that when a change is made everyone can develop against it?

Calling this racist seems applicable but quite a stretch to me. From the article is seems workers in Taiwan work 12 hour days as normal. Couple that with the fact that manufacturing used by primarily US being done outside US borders is gen
