Fire retardant itself is much more harmful than heavy metals in this context. It essentially causes neurodegenerative diseases, especially if you inhale it. This applies to unintuitive routes of exposure, like taking a hot shower on an Air

I did this after breaking my ankle. I was carefully walking the next day, hiking within a week, and skateboarding within 2-3 weeks. Fully healed after a month or two. Everyone thought I was insane but I'm very glad I did it. I thought,

Finland has huge toxic algae bloom problems. The link between BMAA (from toxic algae blooms) and neurodegenerative diseases in predisposed people is basically causal and proven at this point, but it's allegedly suppressed by Big Fishin

Yes, I apologize for being combative. I see your point now. I think I'm also wrong. I thought about my original response some more and this is a more coherent version of what I was trying to say: A problem being in NP is sufficient b

I agree with you, I just think the condition "being in NP" is needlessly confusing. The whole point is that you can always find a reduction from easier problems to harder ones. It just so happens that NP encompasses all the proble

> While it is true that their presence in NP-Hard does not require their pressence in NP (and thus are not proved NP Complete) You're confused here. The two conditions for a problem being NP-complete are (1) it being NP-hard and (2)

Your last statement is misleading. A problem being NP-complete isn't exactly the property that allows you to reduce any NP problem to it. Suppose there was a complexity class MP-hard that has no efficient reduction to an NP-complete pr

The link between BMAA and neurodegenerative diseases is well established. New Brunswick has huge BMAA problems. The fishing and aquaculture industry is alleged to suppress the BMAA theory, because less people would buy and eat New Brunswick

Amazing comment. But hamburgers and dildos are good. It's not pleasure itself that has an ugly face; rather, it's seeking pleasure in spite of the cost to others. You offer spiritualism as a cure. I think our higher end should be

I was similarly confused and finally decided that the commenter could have also been referring to the unsubstantiated fact that Americans drink more black/drip/pour over than Europeans, who mostly drink espresso-derived variants.

Next, how do they make flame retardant chemicals safe? Exposure to them, even via routes you might not think of, like living near a runway that conducts fire extinguishing drills and then taking a shower in a nearby building and breathing i

Kudos to the author. I think this stack will slowly acquire more and more market share as time goes on. I'm also working on a Rust+WASM+WebGPU game from scratch. The process has been absolutely wonderful. The stack (or, more generally,

This is kind of amusing because NP problems, by definition, must have a polynomial-length certification to a given solution that can be run in polynomial time. The word "certification" can be read as "proof" without lo

I mean, I agree with your claims about my logical fallacies. I guess what I'm trying to say is: If we could magically determine the truthiness of all these statements and I had to bet money, I would take my side.

Fair. I don't believe the company that bribed the head of the EPA gives a sh*t about "science" or the health of their customers. This affects my view of how safe their product is. This is the real world, not a philosophical s

Sure, there aren't many sources on my side of the argument because everyone who tried to publish was either threatened, harassed, surveilled, or bribed. I'll give you that one.
