Great doc.

I can confirm that an unarmed homeless person was shot and killed by police in front of my apartment building about 10 years ago.

He had autism and had run away from his family. He was sleeping under someone’s balcony, police came to remove him, ended up killing him.

This was in Hollywood. Los Angeles, off Sunset Blvd.

Edit: I believe this [0] is the case. Looks like those officers sued for being put on desk duty afterward and initially were rewarded $4M. That’s after the police settled with the mother of the man killed for less than $1M.

Yes. Parental influence would be tough to deny. Normally developing children use modeling (imitation) to instruct their behavior.

This is why kids like to pretend to play kitchen or use a broom. They see you do it.

Anecdotally, I have seen children who have ‘bad attitudes’ do a 180 when the parents make an effort to model calmness and positivity. Anxious, stressed out or negative emotions in parents affect the kids.

In most settings, mood is contagious and is set by the leader. The catch is you have to keep it up.

Absolutely. Childhood trauma shapes adult behavior, can induce psychosis, and greatly affect health. [0]

But even before we even get to overt trauma, simple resentment is pretty powerful in my opinion as well. Resentment can build in lots of ways. Parents perceived to not treat children equally or to restrict child from persuing a particular interest including love interests.

If parents don’t respect a child it has consequences.

Edit: to add that resentment is normally a reciprocation. Meaning, parent resents child and therefore behaves in a manner that causes child to resent parent. Snowball that for a few years / decades = not good.

It’s getting better I guess. I’ll let you know in a couple years when I’m ready to ditch my iPhone 7.

Agreed. Wireless charging would be helpful.

I don’t understand. What does it mean that they sell order flow to high freq traders?

How are they fucking me?

Thank you. Very interesting.

Might be interesting to see if patients who’ve had a craniotomy (of some threshold of size) have greater neuro-related issues in their future.

Do they have less capacity to inhibit inflammation, etc.

I suppose the bias would be heavy, since there’s prob something troubling happening in the first place if they’re cutting open your skull. :)

Would they regenerate after the skull was put back in place?

Are there other connections -such as the recently discovered lymphatic vessels - that are severed during craniotomies?

I guess the bigger question I have is what are the repercussions/downsides of removing large portions of the skull temporarily?

Are these vascular channels like tiny veins?

Would such things be severed if someone were to have a craniotomy / brain surgery during which a piece of skull is temporarily removed for access?

> Less people with a strong sense of words / communication?

Fewer.

Sorry, too easy. :)

Autophagy is induced by coffee. Just learned that today!

“Coffee triggers 2 phenomena that are also induced by nutrient depletion, namely a reduction of protein acetylation coupled to an increase in autophagy. We speculate that polyphenols contained in coffee promote health by stimulating autophagy.”

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24769862/

Also watched this video from Found My Fitness[1] recommended in another HN post today [2]. It’s an interview with Dr Guido Kroemer. Very informative and research-based info about autophagy, mentions coffee as well as fasting.

My mother did 23andme. It came back with:

Northern European with some probability of Southern European as well.

Well, duh.

More power to female homosexuality then.

Update from Manufacturer.

I emailed them earlier. Here’s their response:

“Thank you for contacting APEC Water Systems and I am happy to help!

We aren't for sure if it does remove plastic fibers as the presence have not yet been studied, but since the plastic in water is larger then atomical size the RO membrane should remove it due its 0.0001 micron filter.”

I bought a 5-stage RO (reverse osmosis) filter on Amazon. This review of my filter [1] says the RO stage filters down to .0001 microns.

"Stage four is a high quality .0001 micron reverse osmosis membrane. This is where most of the hazardous contaminants such as arsenic, lead, and barium are removed."

Does this mean I'm safe from microplastics?

Facebook sees this as a cost center and will therefore do the minimum it can get away with to address this.

They have shown no real concern for the negative effects they have on communities and society.

Their leadership has displayed a lust for power that would make most politicians blush, IMO.

How will Tesla get around the shareholder limit?

There is a limit to the number of shareholders a privately held company can have. It's apparently 2,000.

Very cool. Thank you

That’s interesting. Could you name a few examples?

I should have specified. I meant with regard to the mutations specifically.

Yeah, that’s what my teachers said too. “Millions of years. End of conversation. Put your hand down, son.”

It always seemed a little dismissive of the potential of our now very complex organisms to use feedback if only purely random mutations were at play.

Instead of random mutations full stop, how about informed best guess mutations targeted at potentially stressed areas of the body.

How does this affect the theory of evolution?

In the 90s in high school, we were taught that random mutations create diversity among a species and then natural selection chose the winning mutations. Do they still teach that?

Is behavior and environment generally accepted to be a factor in mutations nowadays?

The random thing always struck me as inefficient.

Edit for clarity.

Seems like a trend with gym classes. Spin in particular.

...and ticks

This is the correct answer.

Ask yourself why Facebook counts "post-view" conversions instead of only post-click like AdWords and most others.

New client had been working off the assumption they were seeing ROAS of around 3 (not terrible). When we showed them how to see just the post-click, ROAS is now at 1. That means even if they are selling a product they received for free or stole, ie COGS = 0, they still only breakeven.

Attribution is the key. All this assumes that ad companies and Facebook are honest in the first place about the number of views and clicks an ad has received. Their behavior does not engender much good will for a benefit of the doubt situation.

From the merchant side, at least in the industries we’ve worked with, advertising on Fb is close to worthless. With all that data and all those impressions, it ought to at least breakeven. No where close.

It’s almost as if their business model’s primary focus is not to connect sellers and buyers. I wonder how Palantir feels about the effectiveness of fb data.

Yeah but those ticks.

Maybe a quick trip with a few gallons of permethrin. Live there? With kids?? Nope.

Would you mind providing some details on this approach? Multiple domains in marketing materials sounds like it would create confusion among customers. Are you specifically referring to companies with an international presence? Thanks
