Dogs are the first domesticated animal.
What's been lacking is pictures. Apparently the Yamnaya did not paint their riding activities in caves so it could be preserved for millennia.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Study finds link between ‘free sugar’ intake and cardiovascular disease by YoanB
> all sugars naturally present in fruit and vegetable juices
It's considered free sugar from the first sentence. It is confusing since orange juice is a juice and also "processed fruit". But in a juice, the sugars are separated from the fibers.

Thanks! I wanted to check since it wasn't cataloged as a "research paper".

u/propeller3 can you verify that this "perspective" piece is peer-reviewed?

Reply to comment by InternetPeon in Training does not improve clinical psychology students’ mentalization abilities, study finds by lolfuys
The study says that freshmen think they're hot shit when it comes to mentalization, and after their studies they think the same. They don't think higher of themselves. But is that because of their naiveté as freshmen, or because the training failed? Impossible to tell.

Reply to comment by Thoughtless_winter in Training does not improve clinical psychology students’ mentalization abilities, study finds by lolfuys
The study is entirely based on "self reported" skills. I have no idea how that is supposed to be an objective measure of metallization. For example. Psychology students think they are hot shit, then train for some years, but reportedly "don't think they have better mentalization", that is, they don't report being better.
But the effect could simply be that they overestimated their abilities as freshmen, and their studies made them aware that the world is more complex than they thought. Thus humbling them.

It's almost impossible to google now due to Fukushima daiichi dominating everything, but there was a fossil power plant that blew up because of the tsunami in 2011 and it immediately killed more people than were directly killed at Fukushima.
The whole disaster killed some 20k people, and the nuclear accident was a huge headache on top of that, but in the end, the earthquake and tsunami were by far the worst causes of damage.

Right. However, the nutrition problems look different at the population level.

LMIC means "low- and middle-income countries". It has not been shown that extra iron for kids in rich countries would provide benefits.

No, distraction is good. What you did was distraction by shifting attention of thought, not by one specific external thing (screen entertainment). Distracting with snacks also works short term, but leads to problems long term (snacking as a coping strategy).

Yes, but it's clear that your examples involve a negotiation in which the supplier is trying to more effectively match the buyer's needs.
This is all about building one car for everyone, but locking parts of it down with software. This reduces production costs. The value for the customer would be to upgrade/downgrade features at will. But so far, car makers haven't sold it very well, I think.

I'm unfamiliar with this pricing model. But I'm quite sure a mainframe comes with yearly service fees, software licenses, etc, that makes it quite different from a one-off purchase in the first place.
I recently helped shut down an old Oracle database (physical + software) that cost our company $100k/year. Again, different pricing models, different expectation. If you buy a house, would you want to pay a subscription fee to have access to heated floors?

This is a yearly subscription to unlock something in a car you bought. Cloud computing doesn’t involve equipment that you own. It’s rent.
You can rent a car for a limited time too.
A straight comparison would be to buy a throttled GPU and pay rent to unlock higher speeds.
Buy adding this feature, Mercedes isn’t improving their car in any way, they’re simply trying to get customers to accept a new pricing scheme.

The two strongest factors, however, were:
- Happiness (happy people are much more alert in the morning)
- Age (older people are more alert in the morning)

As the article states, this has been the ambition since the 1990's. I worked with prof. Gonokami way back (20+ years ago), and to find long-lived excitons was a goal already back then. These experiments are not easy, but again shows how quasi-particles behave just like particles under the right conditions.

An MVC with 500k base-pairs … that’s quite far removed from self-replicating RNA strands!
