It looks like they made people do things that require more short term oxygen uptake and as a result they adapted to be able to uptake more oxygen in the short term. I wouldn't so readily dismiss the myriad of other physical adaptations that result from long term, high volume, low intensity exercise, such as improved bone density, better fat metabolism, stronger heart muscles, better endurance and resilience, better mental health and cognition etc.

You may be right, but the reason I put that in the title was because it begins by siting a bunch of other research evidencing that “short-term fasting ...can protect healthy cells against a wide variety of stressors, including chemotherapy”, because in the trial they were able to omit dexamethasone with no negative effects, and because “chemotherapy-induced DNA damage in T-lymphocytes“ was “significantly curtailed”

If you compare 100ml oatly to 100ml normal semi skimmed milk, it’s lower in calories, sugar, fat, has about 5 x less saturated fat, definitely doesn’t contain any hormones, antibiotics, casein, and probably doesn’t raise your igf1 either

Authors receive consulting fees from big pharma including Merck Sharp & Dohme, LB Pharma, and Pfizer

Right! They exclude cases where they don’t work, then conclude ‘All antidepressants were more efficacious than placebo’. This is highly misleading

Is this not an insanely low bar? How can we take this paper seriously? We are talking about brain alchemy and more than 80% of the trials under consideration have a moderate to high risk of bias?!

96 out of 522 trials identified as low risk of bias (18%)

https://github.com/QubitProducts/micro-amd is another project with similar goals. Its pretty small, amd compliant and battle tested

So, most captchas don't seem to pose much of a barrier to bots that need to get round them.

A couple of months ago there was an article on the state of web scraping in 2016: https://goo.gl/eUtkRA. In it, the author easily identified and integrated one of many captcha solvers.

Worst case scenario, there is also crowdsourced mechanical turk style captcha solving as a service: e.g. https://anti-captcha.com.

I guess this raises the question as to whether captchas pose more of a barrier to users than bots, and whether they should be used at all?

only siths deal in absolutes

this has been posted a few times, but is a great resource

this is cool, but it's a bit misleading to declare something 'lightweight' if it has 5 dependencies including jquery and underscore

I understand the whole 'paradox of choice' thing - but this should never be seen as a negative. It is a sign of a strong, healthy community making lots of progress.

If you're looking for popular tech, i think a good proxy is github stars.

how do they manage their databases, this would be interesting if the system is truely distributed
