Not sure why you were downvoted. I haven't seen much research on any other drug other than cannabis. Correlation(not causation) between its overuse and psychosis has been documented on several occasions[1][2]. But its good evidence only for people with already some form of genetic predisposition to get diseases like schizophrenia. So its 'triggering' in that sense. Of course more work is needed on such an important topic because there are contradictory studies like this one[3].

Before reading, I did ctrl+f for the keywords in the title and straight away realized it will be misleading. Wasn't proven wrong and hence not disappointed. For some reason, I was hoping to find some hack on learning better

Not sure why HNers were so disappointed with people's response to Snowden in NYC. Isn't it easily possible that out of 200 people they questioned, only 10 didn't know about him but they of course edited out 190? That's how these comedy news shows work.

Who is the 'other side' and 'they'?

Edit: completely agree with your bigger point but wanted to know who you had in mind as the other side

Are you saying it figured out there was less friction with snow in matter of few seconds? All the while it's mind was occupied by something it had in its claws? It could be a genius crow(there has to be variation in intelligence amongst crows too), we will never know. I thought it got irritated with that thin edge quite quickly(being not able to stand comfortably) and hence flew away to look for a thicker one.

If you look closely its trying to pick at something that it finds curious. Sledding could possibly be an accidental outcome of it being sitting on a thin edge, not the original purpose.

But why is it incorrect to say that the most people on HN know more than the common man?

Very conveniently you have left this bit from that article you cited :

'It does not include cases of rape which go unreported, which are not recorded, and does not account for differing definitions between countries.'

This is why you see such a huge difference.

> You hear a lot more about rapes in India because Indians are more outraged towards rape than Americans & British.

Wait, wat?

When it comes to rape and especially in a city like Delhi, there is no reason to doubt woman's testimony since its something which happens quite frequently. People who doubt her might even get into serious trouble.

I am interested in finding out more on the funds provided to terrorists groups from Imams and Sheiks in Qatar and Saudi. Can you share some links(concrete evidence)that informed you about this hypothesis?

> They unleashed a pool of random right-handed RNA molecules and let them react in a test tube with left-handed building blocks. They hoped that within that random pool of RNA molecules was a ribozyme capable of stringing the building blocks together.

Can someone explain the mechanism behind the origin of that ribozyme from original RNA molecules?

Thank you for all the comments. I really hope you consider either writing series of blog posts or a small book on the topic of teaching maths. You might think there is already lot of stuff on this and there is nothing new you could add but trust me its not enough and people can use more ideas on 'how to go about learning maths'.

So how did you evaluate that they didnt try enough? I mean why do you think overwhelming majority comes in that category?

Can I destroy things created by others?

>both participants cared to work a bit.

How do we measure whether the amount of caring done was enough or not? Considering it varies based on personalities and other convincing capabilities of a partner, how do we know for sure apart from just getting information from the partners themselves who say that they tried a lot to make it work.

Its important to remember that there is lot of suffering involved when one of the partner keeps working due to societal pressure while the other continues to mistreat them. This is more prevalent in developing countries like India and China. There is only so much a person can try on their own(they cant stand shaming so dont share oppression with other family)

Yup, many were better. But the thing is that they are long and you are not the author. Your essays are long too but since you are authoring them, they become popular. I think many just upvote you without reading your whole article.

Seems like finding(and making it habitable) a new place for sending some of our population might be a good idea in long run.
