>Amazingly, when the gut microbes from obese mice are transplanted into thin mice, with no change in diet, thin mice become fat!

I couldn't believe this, and I was so thankful for the link! Now I'll watch the Ted video and keep reading the other article.

"This page seemed to have been around since a few years ago, and it appears that there were quite a number of people who posted each other this URL on some particular internet forums. It is still not clear why only these three were arrested by the Hyogo Prefectural Police under such circumstance. They may not have any specific reasons for that."

Maybe the police only wanted to make an example of those three people and discourage the rest of posting the URL.

Alan Krueger, who chaired the White House Council of Economic Advisers under former President Barack Obama, has died. He was 58.

He served as an economist in the Labor and Treasury departments, specialized in workforce economics. He conducted influential research on the opioid epidemic and showed that raising the minimum wage need not cost jobs. His research on the value of an elite college degree was being cited last week in connection with the admissions fraud scandal.

Krueger also was a music fan who researched the increasingly winner-take-all economics in the entertainment industry — work that was featured in a speech he gave at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

Hello, Patricia from Spain. I typed Tenerife and Gran Canaria and well, all the Canary Islands and I was disappointed not to find them! I lived on each of them (I'm currently in Tenerife).

You two have no friends on the islands?! :D I like your idea and the website though. As a traveler, I always want to try traditional local dishes.

I hope in the future you'll have more and more contributors.

Wish you all the best!

"Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard" got my attention. Even if it's from 2010, I still find it valuable. I bought it and now it's just me and my kindle :D

Thank you for your book recommendations.

I'm curious about those tartigrades. Will the scientists put them in the water and bring them back to life? As far as I know about tartigrades, once immersed in water, the body returns to a normal metabolic state over the course of a few hours, even though they died hundreds of years ago.

The red wolf population now has fewer than 40 surviving members, leaving them once again on the brink of extinction in the wild.

Maybe this discovery will lead to something positive for the their species.

Funny thing - I wrote on google "about safe notes" not thinking too much, and this is what I found:

"What Are SAFE Notes? SAFE (simple agreement for future equity) notes are a simpler alternative to convertible notes. They were created in 2013 by Y Combinator, a Silicon Valley accelerator, and allow startups to structure seed investments without interest rates or maturity dates. SAFEs are short five-page documents. The valuation caps are the only negotiable detail.

A SAFE note is a convertible security that, like an option or warrant, allows the investor to buy shares in a future priced round. It addresses many of the drawbacks and challenges posed by convertible notes and can be an equitable option for investors and founders. Startups may prefer SAFE notes because, unlike convertible notes, they are not debt and therefore do not accrue interest."

The Grand Challenge, of maintaining a coherent and engaging conversation for 20 minutes, still remains. As does a $1 million unrestricted gift which will be awarded to the winning team’s university, if their socialbot meets this challenge...

An official from China Passenger Car Association said data from the industry body showed Tesla sold just 211 cars in the world’s largest auto market in October.

Maybe the price is the problem... But I also read Norway sales are also in free fall. How about USA?

Number 7 though... :)))
