"In this model, mice lived in specially designed cages where food was accessed through a hinged, weighted lid. To eat, the mice had to lift the lid while wearing a small shoulder collar, causing a squat-like movement that engaged the muscle contractions people use during resistance exercise. The load was gradually increased over several days, mimicking progressive strength training."

So the study doesn't really show that weighlifting per se is beneficial, but putting food behind weighted hatches is?

"Voluntary wheel running (EEX) was conducted as previously described in single-housed mice with access to voluntary running wheels and food and water ad-libitum,"

And the runners could each as much as they liked?

Sounds like bunk.

Yes, and just yesterday a passenger train was routed into the path of a freight train due to some points failure. It does make you wonder. https://www.railmagazine.com/news/points-failure-results-in-...

A bit part of education is (should be) independent learning with textbooks and reading. You don't need to be "tutored".

When I was 8, I could use the Internet at school but every website was whitelisted.

I'm probably going down a conspiracy theory, but it's notable when all the Five Eyes countries seem to start talking about the same problem and pushing through legislation. The US would probably do the same if not for the constitution.

Of charges, not arrests.

Are your UUIDs generated client side or server side? If it's client side, it could be due to a crawling bot. Googlebot for example executes Javascript using deterministic "randomness".

In Europe, the max interchange fee is 0.3%. In the US, the average is 2%. So the relative impact of fraud is much higher.

I got a 98-percentile result and realised my Mac had Night Shift turned on.

If you're using R in 2026, you're probably invoking code compiled from Fortran from the 70s/80s somewhere along the line. It's a foundation for a lot of numerical computing.

The UK is consistently amongst the lowest household expenditure on food in the entire world. Only 3 countries in the world are self sufficient in food. If this "reasonable worst-case" scenario happens, surely the UK is one of the better placed to deal with it?

LLMs didn't invent the "Rule of Three".

GB News gets a lot of criticism, but I watch the odd show and I've always found it to be balanced. There's a lot of political and regulatory pressure against them, so much so that GB News took Ofcom to the High Court and overturned illegal actions that Ofcom had taken.

I can only speak from a UK perspective, but all broadcast media here is regulated. So the things you might see in the US just can't happen and don't happen here. Everything has to be editorially balanced. Online media doesn't fall under the same regulations.

Because you can't get doomlooped into right-wing podcasts and "citizen journalism" on the TV.

Sample quotes from men in the study:

"Who tells me what's right and what's wrong... is it true or is it not true? Some of the things on YouTube are independent. I find I would listen to them more, because they're on the ground. They're telling you the story. "

"If you see something on social media, whether you believe it or not, you can go to the comments and see everyone's points… If most people agree with it, you know you should be at least somewhat agreeing with it. "

"It seems to everyone that it's an agenda, like the government's behind an agenda… it's like a brainwashing tool for the government. An illegal immigrant killed someone in the street the other day, stabbed them to death… And it's all over Facebook, all over YouTube. And the news hasn’t even said anything about it"

Only one man mentioned using YouTube for entertainment.

I didn't even realise it was an article. I thought the grid thing at the top was just an index page linking out to other pages.

Not only is it insanely lucrative, but the government enters into "contract for difference" contracts that guarantees a price per MWh that are generally above market rates, taking out most of the financial risk.

The regulations mandate that the market operates that way. It's the government that should be held to account.

Prediction markets are nothing like stock markets. Maybe they are more like binary options markets. In the UK for example, these were for a long time regulated as a gambling product, and for the past 7 years have been banned to retail consumers.

(a) It's not prostitution, and (b) while prostitution is illegal in the US it's perfectly legal in the UK and many other countries.

A year ago, they announced that half of their engineers will be in India by 2026:

There is actually a hypothesis around this, but I don't think it's really been investigated: https://www.nature.com/articles/nutd20122

70% of the energy in a petrol car is lost as heat. Only around 30% or less of the energy actually propels the car. I imagine that's why there's a big difference.

For mobile app development, running all my local docker containers for backend services, plus 2-3 iOS/iPad simulators and 1-2 Android emulators quickly pushes the memory limits.

In the UK there's a lot of TV advertising for "weight loss medication" that never refers to any drug by name. But if you look at the small print, it refers to "Orlistat", which is technically available without a prescription. Of course, nobody (or few) actually want Orlistat or end up being prescribed it after the consultation.

1. Something is systemically wrong in the US when we are cutting off people’s access to meds, like GLP-1s, which have profound health benefits.

The US is the only country, aside from New Zealand, that allows direct-to-consumer marketing of prescription only medicines.

So what’s happened here? Well, whoever collected these emails first converted from CRLF (i.e., “Windows” line ending coding) to “NL” (i.e., “Unix” line ending coding). This is pretty normal if you want to deal with email. But you then have one byte fewer:

I think there is a second possible conclusion, which is that the transformation happened historically. Everyone assumes these emails are an exact dump from Gmail, but isn't it possible that Epstein was syncing emails from Gmail to a third party mail server?

Since the Stackoverflow post details the exact situation in 2011, I think we should be open to the idea that we're seeing data collected from a secondary mail server, not Gmail directly.

Do we have anything to discount this?

(If I'm not mistaken, I think you can also see the "=" issue simply by applying the Quoted-Printable encoding twice, not just by mishandling the line-endings, which also makes me think two mail servers. It also explains why the "=" symbol is retained.)

It's not perfect, but this is the point of tender.

Just because you read an article, doesn't mean you have to agree with it. (Yes, I read the entire article before I commented.)

Clearly the site is intended for a few mega-employers to push out as "training". How many employees do you think need to take the training to recoup £4.1 million in GDP? Not many.
