It raises the point that if the results are questionable, why not just repeat the experiment?

Here is Derren Brown's attempt at repeating the experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxq4QtK3j0Y

3 cups of coffee a day is way too many

Please consider also including the use of heavy machinery in the tool rental page. For example: an hour using a drill press, lathe, milling machine, band saw, wood planer, table saw etc. Think of a virtual workshop spread across the city.

The proponents of crypto are scam artists. Whether they operate ponzi schemes like FTX, or whether they are just trying to inflate its value to pull the rug at a later date. They see BTC as an investment rather than a currency.

I just think bitcoin is a scam and the US government shouldn't get involved with it. It would be like if the US government invested in a Strategic "Beanie-Baby Reserve" in the late 1990s.

Bitcoin is terrible for the environment and impractical for everyday transactions. If I want to buy a cup of coffee am I supposed to pay a $2 transaction fee and wait around for ten minutes for the transaction to complete?

This is impressive engineering. So much better than the available ebike conversion kits. I want one!

If you use fission, Uranium 235 has 83.14 TJ/kg. So you would need about 500 metric tons of it.

> will be supplied with an auto-injector, containing either 16mg of selatogrel or a placebo liquid formulation.

Its unfortunate that half the trial patients are getting a placebo, especially when it is life or death, but I suppose that's how drug trials work.

Thanks.

> Subjective age was assessed using a single-item question: ‘On some days you may feel older or younger than your calendar age. What age do you feel right now?

I would be curious as to how they are measuring the subject's perception of their age. Are they just asking them how old they feel? How do they get meaningful results?

> the team will create two versions of NOVAJoint: a version that uses patient’s own cells and one that uses donor cells.

If the knee replacement uses the patients cells, won't the new knee be effected by Osteoarthritis as well?

I had heard of LibGen and Z-library, but not Anna's Archive. Thanks for the recommendation Dutch Court!

I know you probably don't want to give away the secret sauce, but how does the LLM use the reddit threads to decide which products are best? Is it the comment with the most upvotes?

That was an unexpected twist.

> bandaids

Exactly. They are temporary and reversible measures that can be taken until we get carbon emissions under control.

> downsides

SRM could have the same downsides as a volcano erupting, something that has already happened throughout human history.

> easier

It is actually much easier and more cost effective to deploy SRM. Check out this article: https://climate.benjames.io/someone-is-going-to-dim-the-sun/

Personally I like some of these ideas. They could be our only hope of preserving earth's climate. Face it, we already manipulate earth's environment on a massive scale - just not intentionally.

I like this, but I feel like the money should go to charity with a transaction fee going to Beeminder.

Salvaging the plane could give interesting clues about what led to the crash.

I just read the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste-to-energy_plant Some interesting points:

"Waste-to-energy plants cause less air pollution than coal plants, but more than natural gas plants.[2] At the same time, it is carbon-negative: processing waste into fuel releases considerably less carbon and methane into the air than having waste decay away in landfills or bodies of water."

"Burning municipal waste does produce significant amounts of dioxin and furan emissions[4] to the atmosphere as compared to the smaller amounts produced by burning coal or natural gas. Dioxins and furans are considered by many to be serious health hazards. However, advances in emission control designs and very stringent new governmental regulations, as well as public opposition to municipal waste incinerators, have caused large reductions in the amount of dioxins and furans produced by waste-to-energy plants."

We should stop focusing on recycling plastics and invest in garbage incinerators/power plants.

This is good, but housekeeping staff should be the first line of defense. The person cleaning the room should be able to spot an infestation.
