@jonny Hey Jonny! Would you be willing to share some advice on a very basic experimental design, for a student project? We wish to explore if energy/high-sugar/carbonated drinks impact/reduce student reaction times (measured with Backyard Brains Muscle Spiker + Reaction Timer). The project is aimed to be an exercise in experimental design (neurophysiology is just the research context). The general idea is to measure the reaction times of volunteers before and after consuming the drink. 1/2

The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.

Here’s the original source of the story: https://archive.is/2024.01.30-203406/https://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/wirtschaft/kriminalitaet-die-zahnbuersten-greifen-an-das-sind-die-aktuellen-cybergefahren-und-so-koennen-sie-sich-schuetzen-ld.2569480

It’s simply a made up example. It doesn’t exist. It starts talking about NoName Ddosia, too, which also isn’t toothbrushes.

You can get an answer to a question on the internet a lot faster if, instead of simply asking the question, you instead post an answer that you know is wrong.

People are more likely to correct your wrong answer than they are to simply respond to a question.

This is known as the Pythagoras Theorem.

Is there a general trend for how pharmacokinetics of lipid-soluble drugs are impacted by abnormally high or low blood lipid levels? I assume there's at least some effect but I'm the wrong kind of doctor to have studied that :)

My intuition says that higher lipid levels will lead to improved bioavailability (more carrying capacity per unit volume of blood so more efficient absorption) and higher peak concentrations, and conversely for lower levels. But I have no idea what (if anything) it would do to things like elimination half life.

Fun fact: the thing we now call a bell was commonly called a ringer or a dinger until the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell in the 1870s.

His name became so synonymous with the device, and by extension, with the sound it made, people began to refer to the electromechanical mechanism for making that sound as a "Bell"

Watching some of the witness testimony. I noticed this weirdly specific oddity, I think it’s a line in an email footer of someone senior (perhaps in the Legal team)

I don’t think it can be right. I think it could be caught by the Companies Act, even.

“Post Office Ltd is a trading name of Royal Mail Group Ltd”

Can one limited company really be a trading name of another company?

Is there something special and weird here, or is the footer bollocks?

The W3C publishing ethical web principles is like OPEC publishing ethical climate principles.

Who are the members of the W3C?

Google,
Facebook (Meta),
Amazon,
Adobe,
SoftBank,
Yahoo!,
…

The W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.

Ethical principles? W3C? Don’t make me laugh!

If they had any ethics they’d have expelled their most prominent members starting with Google and Facebook.

little productivity thing for linux that i would like: terminal integration of the XDG (?) "Recent" folder. make it an actual Folder ~/Recent with links to the files, or a FUSE fs. i often have to integrate console and desktop tools and this would make it less painful.

If any of you have been following this "plagiarism" saga started as a witch hunt which was supposed to be localized to Black women like Dr. Claudine Gay, now Bill Ackman is threatening entire academic institutions and news organizations. Also Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer SE, named after an actual Nazi (makes total sense that they are so concerned about antisemitism), owns Business Insider and Politico.
