Fascinating that Memory tracking models seem to be organized in hierarchical structures that can be represented in tree-like forms. Reminds me of Helical models discovered in the early 70's for DNA strata

We have to look at Colleges and Universities as business models..... Some of the best run businesses in the country. All the more reason it makes sense for the NCAA to allow athletes to make $$ on endorsement deals

Read the team's actual findings here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/trf.15427

Agreed. My city's local "planning commission" has overstepped many old timers long planned future family-development agreements because big money has come in wanting to develop large scale housing communities. The communities once plotted as kid friendly cul-de-sac, have become thoroughfares for big business by touting "connectivity needs". It's a joke, especially when you see that the make up of the planning commission is 2/3 land developers and contractors.

Sounds a bit Orwellian to me, trying to control/disallow what others may or may not think or voice

The ACLU is currently fighing several battles to keep law enforcement from being able to access drivers license photos for facial recognition in crime related matters. Interesting read. https://www.aclu.org/blog/privacy-technology/privacy-borders...

I want to see the study. If we are saying that average mineral content of calcium, magnesium, and iron in cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach has dropped 80–90% between 1914 and 2018, where were the subject vegetables taken from? Are we needing to look at farming methods, large agriculture process such as early harvest, soil depletion, delivery method, sun exposure, etc?

And, if we are looking at findings from the USDA, Agricultural Research Service and USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, they really need to update their research. As stated by the study's author, " the USDA mineral content of vegetables and fruits has not been updated since 2000"

"The material does not protect quite as well as a Kevlar sheet of the same thickness—but it only costs about 5 percent as much" - Incredible. Millions could be saved to protect the military and police. Additionally it could provide less weighty armor and improve performance. There has been a lot of talk about the weight of full military body armor, and I wonder how much this new material would weigh, and if comparable to kevlar but lighter, could improve performance. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/09/25/army-body-arm...

Thanks

Wow, to formulate a generic drug and export it to the U.S. requires the FDA stamp, but if you generate components used in manufacture of US-made drugs get literally no FDA oversight. How can this be?.

What a great article! So well written, and thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks for the share.

Fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Good article that highlights how institutions review and vet donors. I'm impressed that Harvard refused $$ from Epstein after his 2007 conviction. The school shouldn't be punished for $$ it took before charges came to light.

How about we listen, instead of simply disregarding, or going down the political rabbit hole bc of the age of the messenger?

how in the world do FRB's "release enough energy to power the world for three centuries." If we don't know how and when they are happening, how can we measure their energy? Can someone explain?

I grew up in Southern Utah, just a few miles from the Zion Narrows, and have read of many tragic situations that didn't end nearly as well as this group's story. (Including my own brother on an overnight scouting event). God bless the two hikers who "left before the rescue without giving their names!" I hope the family can find them so they can give them personal thanks.

This is such an important topic. During my years in law school, I oversaw a volunteer mentoring program that brought 5th grade kids from a local Title 1 school into the law building and paired them with law student mentors who helped with homework for 1 hour a week. The year ended with the law students assisting the kids in a mock trial presentation. One of the aims of the program was to help these kids feel comfortable in a setting of Higher Education, and to give them the opportunity to associate with/ask questions of graduate students. Many of the kids had never been on a college campus, or came from homes where no other family member had attended college. The law professor who founded the program, Brett Scharffs, has written more extensively regarding the program, and his findings are much more than simply anecdotal regarding how programs such as these can give kids a leg up, or at least give them a vision of what "can be". I agree whole-heartedly with Paul Tough's statement that higher education and social mobility have become very intertwined.

Just looking at shifts in the national unemployment rate will never render an accurate assessment of the labor market. It simply overlooks how, why, and which folks are leaving jobs or accurately reflect the under-employed.

This science journalism isn't all that bad, actually. The article is clearly about Ivermectin, and never mentions "bacteria killed parasite" - Additionally, Ivermectin and other avermectins are macrocyclic lactones and are derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. So even if teh article mentions bacteria... it's still not wrong.

Obermier, who discovered and preserved this site did fantastic work at the the cave of Altamira in the 1920's. He deserves more credit. His work at the Dolmen of Guadalperal wasn't even known about until 40 years later.

No thanks. I prefer the old Reddit, and by old Reddit, I actually mean the OLD reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/redesign/

Interesting article. Though the new reaction with flourine was better than "any other calcium based electrolyte" how did it compare to lithium based models?

We have chickens, and they do the same thing. They listen for cues from other species, and rightly so. We have an adopted (just showed up one day) guinea hen who has a jungle type squawk she makes whenever a predator, including a local sharp-shinned hawk is present. When she pipes up, everyone takes cover. Ironically, when she makes the noise, our barn cats look to start hunting/ crouching. They are fantastic predators.

Does anyone else here find that the idea of a slow morning could have anything to do with the decline of quality, youth playtime, or time parents spend with kids. I found a fantastic article about this here a few months back that reminds me of what Hanock does here. Definitely worthy of a try. (https://houseoflawandorder.com/the-alarming-decline-of-quali...)

I'm biased, but found these to be interesting reads. We'll see as the cases play out though. https://fitsmallbusiness.com/how-much-does-facebook-advertis...

If this is at all similar to the antitrust investigation I don't think they'll have to look far to show that FB used consumer data inappropriately and manipulated advertising prices.

Headline continues......turns out, they were all just people lost because of the horribly-placed yellow arrows misdirecting them through the store.

We used to do this on dates at the Denver, CO IKEA. No one ever even knew what we were doing.

This is such a HUGE problem. My brother and his wife, require their 16 year old to ask a girl out face-to-face as opposed to in a text, if he's wanting to actually go out. Honestly, it was a struggle for him. Once he tried it though, it boosted his confidence. Kids nowadays have no idea how to actually have a real conversation to get to know one another.

I have heard him called a "social-engineering genius" (think The Atlantic, 2018) but this is just childish. So much for our intelligence community.
