> Blocking 5-HT6 also improves memory (in mice) but it seems to come with circadian disruption. So the memory improvement is temporary then I reckon? Because my guess would be that circadian disruption -> poor sleep -> poor memory.

Email is insecure by design. End of story. Even if you use a secure email service (whatever that means), the other party you're emailing with rarely does, so the NSA/CIA/MI6/whatever still has access to your 99.9% of

Yeah, this has been done many times before by other tech companies. Facebook being the prime example.

Very inspiring stuff! Given that "simple heuristics and topics are plenty to target ads", is it correct to assume that your payout/cost is similar for publishers/advertisers compared to networks that target users?

Doesn't work that way. The money you pay that is reserved for artists is thrown onto a big pile, and then the money is distributed to the artists proportionally to how many plays they generated.

/r/thenetherlands is a joke. So many comments are being removed in order to "maintain community standards". I once posted a genuine question there: "Do you think /r/thenetherlands is an echo chamber?"

Just uploaded them all to my iCloud. They way I see it, this is the best photo backup approach one can possibly take. Just get flagged for child porn, and have all your iPhone photos stored indefinitely on FBI servers. Does the FBI have geo

Yeah, I purposefully used the word "simple" when I meant straightforward and "hard" when I meant difficult, but I should've explained why I used those words. Either that, or I myself have gotten the meanings of the

Someone on HN once made the comparison between obesity and the old attitude people had towards depression. When you were depressed, you "just" had to go out and do things. You "just" had to drive out the negative thought

A decent next step would be to send more than one police officer, but it probably isn't really worth it.

First line of the article: > shattering preconceptions about what’s possible in your eighth decade So if she's using something, this is not giving other people a fair idea of what's possible.

How much money does something like that cost? Sounds expensive.

That's not the PDF spec is it? That is a spec for Adobe Acrobat, which is not allowed to make any web requests thanks to my application firewall (Little Snitch). Pretty sure a PDF opened in the browser can't run any JS, but not co

When I click a link you mean? Definitely true, but that way they only have access to my IP and user agent, which is still better than all the WebGL, Font library, display calibration settings, mouse movement etc. that they use otherwise. I

The only thing I like about PDF compared to HTML is that with PDF, I know for a fact that no web requests are made in the background. That means no fingerprinting, no analytics etc. With HTML, I have to trust that some random entity does wh

I wasn't making "my point". I just knew your comment about 30-40 days and the random mentioning of concentration camp victims was absurd, and it clearly is according to official clinical guidelines. So no, I won't "

You can definitely get refeeding syndrome after 7-10 days of fasting. It depends on your your fat reserves, health, and lifestyle. Say I'm 192cm and 69kg. My BMI is 18.7, which is definitely low, but perfectly healthy. I have an active

One thing I find interesting about this time, and maybe HN specifically, is how the people focus on wealth and success (as a substitute for community and religion I think), and at the same time invest time in things like stoicism. Part of s

About 5 years ago, I attended a hackathon, as I did every so often. My team was comprised of CS undergrads and we made something that was technically interesting but not at all marketable. This was fine with us, as we were there to have fun

Accidentally removed my comment when I wanted to reply, but whatever. I never said that we can infer everything from European data. I never said collecting African genetic data is pointless. I know that Europeans do not vary nearly as much

And that causes the problem that the parent describes: greater variability makes it harder to find useful patterns.
