This is the business model for most of the large gaming companies at this point. Activision had three or four studios dedicated to Call of Duty leapfrogging each other to release one every year. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

> How, then, do contrails stack up in terms of total warming? They contribute roughly 2% to the world’s effective radiative forcing; tackling them would reduce that by a similar amount.

If we're only in the realm of video games, Nintendo has some of the highest prices for their games, and rarely drop below half price. This does factor in somewhat, since their games (assuming you get a physical version) maintain their

I'm pretty surprised they found *correlations between mortality and supplementation. I wonder how they can separate that from socioeconomic status. Also, I understand why they tested multi-vitamins and fish oil, but I wonder why they a

In my experience, ONE thing will cause a game to trend towards toxicity - higher stakes. The more "important" the win or loss feels to the player, the more toxicity shows up. It's pretty easy to filter out "toxic" g

Other hormones don't get the same treatment. I'm not sure why only melatonin is treated as a dietary supplement when the other hormones are not. For example, you can't get testosterone or epinephrine, over the counter. Maybe

And those studies suggest that melatonin plays a critical part in your circadian rhythm, which kind of implies that adding it to your food would also screw with your circadian rhythm. That alone seems like a good enough reason to caution ag

I'm not sure we should cover our food in melatonin. People would recoil at the thought of pretty much any other hormone being added to our food supply. It's strange to me how Melatonin is so uncontrolled in usage, dosage, etc., de

I'm not convinced on this - with a large enough student base (e.g. most state schools), I think it's possible to find peers that would have excelled even at top 5 universities. Similarly, at top tier colleges, you can find people

This is pretty much my take on it as well. Once you hit adulthood, most able-bodied, able-minded people are expected to be "contributing members of society". But that definition is pretty nebulous - it doesn't have to be soci
