There is an article on consumer reports about it. If you scroll to the bottom it has a table with a points system.

It seems based on their table you shouldn't eat more than 1-1/8th cup of white basmati/sushi rice, or more than 1/2 cup of all other rices. That is uncooked volumes. The white basmati has to come from California, India, or Pakistan to count for that 1-1/8th.

FDA has an article on it, and at hte bottom it shows you how different cooking methods will reduce certain metals/nutrients.

Use F.Flux on your computer, even if your computer is not in the room where you sleep. It gradually reduces blue light in favor of red light, so when you are using your computer in the evening, your brain winds down in a much healthier way, getting ready for melatonin production.

If the F.Flux goes red too fast for your liking, you can manually adjust it.

I love it, and can't imagine using my PC without it.

I don't think there's any reason to think that selection has stopped in post industrial revolution times. Concerning that, I have another book to recommend: A Farewell to Alms. In it, a rather well supported argument is put forward that the industrial revolution was not industrial at all, but rather caused by a shift in the behavior of humans (less violent, more literate, more frugal, more industrious). The author further shows with meticulous analysis of family trees and census data and legal documents that this change of behavior patterns is co-incident with a replacement of the population of Britain between 1100 CE and 1800 CE. That is families with the new behavior patterns had more children that survived to have children of their own than those who didn't. The author is VERY careful to not speculate as to whether these altered behaviors were cultural or genetic in basis… but it still shows strong evidence for SELECTION in relatively modern times.

Of course the strongest factors altering selection in the last few centuries are likely birth control and antibiotics.

Actually it's not so simple, as titbit is the standard spelling outside of North America. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/titbit In older books I've seen it hyphenated (tit-bit) and spelled as two words, although I'm not sure those variants ever made it into a reputable dictionary.

Canker sores may be caused by Helicobacter pylori, the same bacteria that cause peptic ulcers, a form of stomach ulcer. They're also caused by minor injuries to your mouth that get inflamed, stress, and a bunch of other things.

They're NOT caused by a herpes virus.

To add to what /u/ThatRoboticsGuy said, https://www.torproject.org/ might be the best bet for your communication with your friend. Tell him over an open channel to install it, then connect through that. Or, alternatively, a chat client that supports OTR. https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/

Astrobiology is an interest of mine. If you are interested in Astrobiology, the UK Center for Astrobiology has a good website http://www.astrobiology.ac.uk/ , and have a very good course on Coursera https://www.coursera.org/learn/astrobiology .

It is sad to see a UK university spoiling the field by allowing cranks to publish this kind of sensationalist nonsense based on a "paper" submitted to a sensationalist website rather than an established scientific journal. (I'm not going to link to it as I don't want to promote it, you can find it yourself if you really must by following links from the above link).

>In the mid-2000s, it became known for its high crime rates. Since this time, Flint has been ranked among the "Most Dangerous Cities in the United States", with a per capita violent crime rate seven times higher than the national average. The city was under a state of financial emergency from 2011 to 2015, the second in a decade. (Source)

Granted it's gotten better in the recent years as they've dialed the murders down a notch. At least you can get a decent sandwich.

I wonder which are books that are worth reading and books that are just worth knowing what is basically inside. Of those I know:

The Bible: Not worth reading, better know how people understand it nowadays and to see how apologetics are about the opposite of what science is about.

On the Origin of Species: I have never read, but I know what observations led Darwin to propose the theory of evolution. I also heard that many of the details proposed in his book have been refined or even invalidated by modern research. I wonder if it is worth reading in 2015?

The Wealth of Nations: It is a historically important book, but it is capitalism 101. When you understand profit-motivated competition, you won't learn much more from it (I read it a long time ago, did I miss something?)

The Art of War: Worth reading if you are interested in the basics of strategy. Some parts are obsolete but they represent a surprisingly small amount.

The Prince: Worth reading. A lot of things are very relevant to modern politics or even corporate management.

As already stated, no ocean basin scale impacts, but there may be some at the local level.

Push to change the opt-out law into an opt-in law. This would be the most effective first step to protect citizens from being data-mined without their knowledge or consent. Contact your representatives and local political groups, create a grass-root movement, use your democracy for what it is meant to be. This is a long-term solution: starve them out.

Raise awareness among your peers, your fellow citizens about this issue. They won't support the above solution if they don't understand its significance. Also mention the below solutions.

Use GHOSTERY to prevent built-in data collection while you browse. It's an add-on that detects what is watching you from behind the web page and lets you decide if you want to allow them to continue watching your every click and move or if you want to shut the blinders in their face. Use AD-BLOCK or other ad-blocking programs to avoid being influenced by these targeted ads. These methods are easy to start using, however, I believe companies can pay to be exempted from it being used on them. Thus, these are not long-term solutions, but rather quickly implemented, short-term solutions.

Delete the Facebook apps from your phone (Facebook and Facebook Messenger). Data is being collected through them [not exclusively]. Use the web browser when you absolutely must use Facebook, and turn to other communication channels to message your friends and loved ones. This will limit their ability to collect data on you.

Turn off your Location feature unless you are actively using it. This will at least somewhat limit the amount of information they can get on you. Also, please note pictures taken with it turned on will be tagged as such in the metadata. If you then share those picture, they will retain this information.

One of the things we need to do to finally start treating mental illness as a real thing that needs to be treated, and not to demonize and punish it, is to abandon the superstitious notion that free will is real. You can't use willpower to overcome serious mental illness, just like you can't use willpower to overcome physical illness. You can use willpower to adapt and get closer to normal, but unless you actually treat the problem and (if possible) heal it, you can't just will yourself healthy.

Not only that, but clinging to the idea of free will leads to a whole lot of victim blaming and punishing people who need real help. It's like getting mad at a car that doesn't drive very well because one of its tires is flat.

If you want to get a better understanding of how things like willpower, conscious/unconscious mind, and instinct work, I recommend reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman.

Well sort of, the technology exists but firstly you would need to start taking records of peoples telomere length in advance to enable a change in reduction rate to become apparent. Not only this but tests on different tissues as the effect may only be localised to one tissue (e.g. lung or liver). This means lots of tests and then random tests throughout your life to hopefully identify an indicator.

The main issue is if this does come back positive then there's no reason to assume you would necessarily be able to do anything. You know you are at risk but its not like there is actually cancer at this point; no tumour, no sign of where or when it will strike.

So what does this actually tell us? It tells us that in a variety of cancer pathologies one of the first mutations to occur in cells is a drop in telomere shortening (i'll touch on this later). This makes sense as many of the cell cycle controls have built-in redundancies so that mutation doesn't necessarily cause loss of the cell cycle checkpoints (G2 checkpoint for example). Other mutations involving cell cycle control need to occur before the cell becomes cancerous and there is no way to predict what or when that, if any, mutation would occur.

So telomeres reduce in their shortening in one of two ways: a slowdown in mitosis (cell division) or an increase in telomerase, an enzyme that rebuilds the junk DNA in telomeres. We know cancer cells usually have to bump the levels of telomerase as they divide very quickly and would soon hit Senescence. So ultimately it's not that useful in creating a treatment however very useful in helping us understanding the development of many cancer pathologies. A better approach for this sort of thing would be to measure the subtle changes to telomerase levels in the blood, which would allow easier testing.

There was a question on Quora, "What is it like to work with Elon Musk?"

The top two answers are by SpaceX emploees. They answer the question at length, with stories and background etc, so I won't quote here. Have a read, they're great.

That sounds like an app locking up and needing to be killed. Could be anything, sometimes it happens to me if the phone is syncing and I turn off all data connections (or just the one it uses to sync at that time). It can't deal with it and just tries to finish syncing forever.

> The most consecutive years to feature at least one Category 5 hurricane each is four, from 2016 to the present year, 2019. Six storms have reached that category in these years - Matthew, Irma, Maria, Michael, Dorian, and Lorenzo. Of these, Dorian had the highest winds, at 160 kn (185 mph; 295 km/h), while Maria had the lowest central pressure, at 908 mbar (26.81 inHg).[6]

There are cases of the Antarctic equivalent-the southern sleeper shark-attacking live elephant seals (there are bite marks on live seals), which are way more formidable than polar bears or Arctic seals. If a 5m slow-moving shark can prey on live elephant seals, a 6m slow-moving shark should have no issues with a polar bear.

Also, scientists now do know where that meat came from-and turns out most of it wasn't scavenged.

That was my first thought, but I believe John Tyndall demonstrated it before Arrhenius (Arrhenius was the first to show the effects of CO2 if I recall correctly, but not the greenhouse effect at large).

https://archive.org/stream/contributionsto01tyndgoog#page/n441/mode/1up

I'm not sure if he published a formal publication of the Greenhouse Effect specifically, but he was one of, if not the, first scientist to demonstrate the absorption of heat by what he called "invisible gases" in the atmosphere (his research was critical to how we now currently understand heat flow and, more specifically, absorption of longwave radiation).

I was thinking Russia, actually - or any number of countries afflicted by the resource curse which inevitably get taken over by authoritarian thieves of whatever nominal economic theory.

The debate and warnings used to be about the "Population Explosion" and the importance of birth control. Here is how that turned out... http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ I doubt the results of "Global Warming" debates and warnings will be any different, no matter what our personal "beliefs" are. There are just too many of us. It won't end well.

I just knew this monk Hu Qiong in an documententary of Stan Lee's Superhumans series.

In the document, the monk performed drill action in front of a camera. That is , the monk targeted the drill with his skin.

I'm just wondering how he could made this. Is there any Scientific explanation on it?

And anyone interested can search the film documentary on the internet or use this link: http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!overview/425488/Stan-Lees-Superhumans-Unbreakable

I searched on the internet for explanation, but jut got this: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/20064/is-shaolin-monk-hu-qiong-using-chi-energy-to-withstand-an-electric-drill#

From the post title:

> Psychopathy was negatively related to all analyzed variables

This statement is not supported by the article, which says only:

> The researchers found a negative association between psychopathy and successful career outcomes.

Is it supported by the paper? I haven't read it.

EDIT. The paper does support it -- or it does if we change "variables" to "outcomes". PDF of paper. See near the end of the abstract.

If you're going to look at an open, vote-worthy system, reddit is the worst of them by far. First, it's not open: Vote fuzzing is a thing. Second, it's not secure at all - I can vote myself from any number of accounts. Their system won't catch it until I start doing it 50x with each post. These are just two glaring examples, but there's more.

BUT an alternative example that is very similar (voting-based) that probably would work really well? The Stack Exchange. StackOverflow, etc. It's almost as if they built that place thinking it'd evolve into a published journal. It requires hard work to even be allowed to vote. It is not easy, and it's almost impossible to fake a good score for a shitty answer.

One theory from an article on io9.com explains that there are about 100 billion neurons, and each is capable of making about 1,000 connections that represent 1,000 synapses (synapses do the work of data storage). If you multiply each of the 100 billion neurons by the 1,000 synapses, you get 100 trillion data points, or 100 terabytes of info. The problem with this theory is that each synapse could potentially hold more or less than the one byte of information assumed in this formulation. my source: http://www.storagecraft.com/blog/if-the-human-brain-were-a-hard-drive-how-much-storage-capacity-would-it-have/

If you have android, the reddit is fun app has great multireddit support. If you open the menu, there's a button called multis that lets you see a list of all your multireddits and from what I recall, it's not hard to add a new subreddit to one or remove a subreddit. It's been a while since I've modified mine so I don't remember the exact steps to take, but I know in the past I updated some from my phone.

The Bible is worth a read (as is the Quran), but not necessarily relevant to intelligence since discussion of religion is generally viewed as impolite in our society.

On the Origin of Species is valuable not just for being one of the first to describe evolution, but as a historical perspective on the Scientific Method in the 19th century.

I'll agree with you on the Wealth of Nations; it's really too basic compared to the others on the list.

The Art of War, however, is a must-read (along with Musashi's Book of Five Rings). They're not only useful for their grasp of military strategy, but for economic and political theories - perhaps even more so than The Prince. Also, given the rising importance of China on a global scale, understanding how their leaders make decisions benefits anyone with international interests (read: everyone).

Speaking of The Prince, I don't like its inclusion on the list because it's so easily misunderstood. Machiavelli believed virtually the opposite of everything written in The Prince (his Discorsi would be a much better candidate for the list and more reflective of his true views). The Prince was one part satire, one part job application; he wanted to unite Italy under the Medici so that the resulting country could model itself after the Discorsi. The Prince (the man and the book) were a means to an end.

...Actually, perhaps it's valuable for that reason as well.

> Abstract: > > Many writings in economics have documented the importance of a stock of non-cognitive skills accumulated during childhood in predicting higher wages. This paper however studies the reverse. Using surveys of lottery winners, we analyse the effects of unearned income on the well-known Big Five personality traits. After correcting for potential endogeneity problems associated with the size of lottery prizes, we find that unearned income improves traits that predict pro-social and cooperative behaviours, preferences for social contact, empathy, and gregariousness, as well as reduce individuals’ tendency to experience negative emotional states; all of which are known in the economics literature as incentive-enhancing personality traits (Bowles et al., 2001a). Our results lend supports to the idea that there may be scope for later interventions which could improve the personality traits of adults.

I got my degree in psychology and finding this paper bowled me over. Here is psychological support for the idea of [basic income](/r/basicincome), and its potential to foster a psychologically healthier society.

This might be an artifact of SPSS

Journals may ask for the exact p vallue when submitting manuscripts. SPSS reporting the p value as 0.000 when it is < 0.0005 (= 0.0005 would round up to 0.001)

This is worth reading

I agree, I just pointed out the part that was misleading of the report. The point still stands that the deaths due to suicide (the comment I'm replying too) doesn't change the point that theres a higher death rate to guns compared to other developed countries. Now that I'm at a computer the article.

>All charts exclude deaths in armed conflict and from accidents or self-harm.

Though side point not relevant to the overall discussion, I'm not exactly sure what they mean by armed conflict, is it soldiers killing soldiers, soldiers massacring villages etc. Even then its still quite dishonest, gunmen would be attributed to terrorist or rebel conflicts if they even manage to end up with a gun. A guy claiming to be isis shooting up an American place is probably included under a mass death not an armed conflict.

This is a key question described in the excellent book A Manual For Creating Atheists.

He also states that the objective of debating people of faith is not to instantly convert them, but to introduce them to doubt.

> You can't compare the US to Mexico and Columbia, that's ridiculous and you know it.

Why not? The US has far more in common with Mexico than it does with Japan, yet nobody has difficulty making that comparison when it comes to gun control. Really the US has more in common with Mexico than most European countries, especially when it comes to factors that cause violence...

> Of course bans can't stop 100% of things, but you're being dishonest if you say it doesn't affect it all, or that drug smuggling or drug manufacturing is the same for firearms. Growing marijuana is a hell of a lot easier than making a gun, and smuggling guns is a lot harder than smuggling drugs.

Growing marijuana doesn't take much. Growing, harvesting, packaging, transport & smuggling, and distribution requires a network organization. Going "b-b-b-b-b-but you grow marijuana!" is a strawman argument, you can grow opium poppies too, and coca leaves, but each requires a substantial processing before the final product is available for wholesale. Meanwhile you can order everything you need to make a functional machinegun and silencer off Amazon, including advanced CNC equipment. Firearms were churned out for WWII with manual machining equipment that is extremely inexpensive today and your local brake store has everything needed to spit out machineguns in their workshop.

> That's the myth.

Wrong. The amount of legal guns doesn't matter and has no effect on crime. It's the availability of illegal ones.

The language barrier is a fascinating problem. As a bilingual person I have observed how monolingual people are in many ways trapped within their own language. Even as a bilingual person I'm trapped within the confines of the two languages I use.

I have sometimes used translators to peak into the world outside my languages but is not the same. I can not dive deep and fast as I do with knowledge encoded in languages I know. Besides, there is much more knowledge in my languages than I could know in many lifetimes.

And while you can split hairs by carefully saying " I didn't say" this or that, it was carefully implied which allowed you to imediately deny that was your intention when you are called on it.

I have read her book The Descent of Women. She makes an interesting case.

If early humans' habitats were the medium to shallow areas of large bodies of water, it would explain a lot and Elaine Morgan had some very interesting perspectives. These are not all of her theories.

*Our noses seem to be designed to prevent water from entering it when swimming or diving. Chimps and other primates noses are NOT designed for this. *The hair on our bodies seems to grow in patterns that offer the least amount of drag when swimming.

*We have a subcutaneous layer of fat, somewhat similar to other water dwelling mammals.

*Women have distinctive breasts while other primates do not. Supposedly this makes it easier for human infants to nurse while in the water with their mother.

*Women rarely go bald. Long hair floating around the mother makes it easier for the young to cling to her. Men, not generally the primary caretakers of infants, do not need long hair to support their aquatic children, so they are more likely to go bald than women.

*Our exquisite sense of touch in our fingertips enabled early humans to feel the bottom, distinguishing shellfish from rocks by texture.

*The skin on our hands and feet are adapted to a partially aquatic lifestyle.

*We evolved an upright stance because when chased by predators, we could run into deep water, stand up and wait out the predators on shore.

*Women are generally more highly evolved than men, particularly when it comes to sex. She explains her theories about our placement of our reproductive areas and organs and has theories on why we orgasm the way we do.

It has given me much to think about over the years. [I am a woman]

that's why I follow the "Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory" by Dr. Stoyan Sarg.

None of those problems in contemporary physics still exist in this model. No dark matter required. Nearly everything is derived from the most basic and minimal assumptions you can possible do. GR, SR and QM effects make finally sense ^^

Chapter 12. First, it is not MY model, I just use the solomonoff induction and this is the model with the fewest assumption that fits very well to the observations, much better then the standard model.

I could explain it in more detail but I have meet enough people of science to know which kind of scientist you most likely belong to. As long as you are this close minded, I stopped caring what people like you think.

If you really want to debunk this theory and please do, find me a mathematical or logical error. Arguments that model X predicts it very will is not an arugment at all, especially under the number of assumptions and constants in the model.

If you are interested in understanding none impulse based thruster and are open minded to rethink physics from a logical and purely physical perspective with zero abstractions, I suggest the BSM-SG model from Dr. Stoyan Sarg. After you understand the basics of the theory, how gravity and inertia is derived, you will understand the EM-Thruster as well as most of the other phenomena like general relativity, mass defect, quantum effects,...

PS: according to BSM considerations, the EM thruster is a very inefficient design far from what's possible.

As you are an aspiring doctor I want to let you know something that has helped me and a lot of others I know tremendously in the past.

There is also a perspective that sees what in Western medicine is called a manic episode or madness, as a spiritual experience that happens so rapidly it is overwhelming. The idea is that these episodes do not need to be suppressed with drugs, but can be slowly worked through and can even be healing and have positive potential. These fields say there are a lot of people trapped in devalued stories by themselves being convinced they are sick.

See for more information for example Stanislav Grof - Spiritual Emergency or the personal story Sean Blackwell - Bipolar or Waking Up?.

My daughter bought me that book. Normally I don't read non-fiction but that book really blew me away.

http://www.amazon.com/Family-That-Couldnt-Sleep-Medical/dp/081297252X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1453292314&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=the+family+that+couldn%27t+sleep

I will definitely check out the book. I don't work in the pharma industry so I can't speak from personal experience, but I've talked to many people in the industry who have discussed the various challenges they have. Also if you want an insider view, I really enjoyed the book The antidote which is the story of vertex pharmaceuticals and how they developed their Hep-C drug. It provides some interesting insight into the world of drug development.

This certainly makes a good argument for the power of the placebo effect. A lot of people will swear this stuff keeps them alive.

You're seeing almost exactly the same part of the moon surface. The moon being tidally locked means that the same point on its surface always points to the center of the Earth. The view on it only has rotated along the Moon-Earth axis.

Assuming boths shots were taken from the same spot on Earth the rotation we're seeing comes from our equatorial plane being tilted against Moon's orbital plane around Earth which is comparatively pretty well aligned with Earth's orbit around the sun.

It might help imagining Earth and the Moon being fixed and looking at the Moon from the North pole and the from the equator.
