I strongly disagree. These accusatory virtue signals are everywhere, deliberate, and most importantly antithetical to reason. Ignoring this stuff is how we ended up with diversity quotas.

in my last job, I reviewed hundreds of medical records, many of whom had basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas (BCC & SCC)...i never saw a case where BCC or SCC caused a real problem...I never saw one where it spread elsewhere on the body other than the skin...this theory that the more skin cancers you have means you have better general health is one that has been finding more support recently..and I agree with this theory...the sun has definite benefits, and almost certainly benefits that we do not yet even understand...

You’re gonna need to set aside some dedicated time for this. Putting this off will only make this work.

First, unsubscribe from marketing emails, or use filters and folders in Gmail (if that’s your email) to remove stuff from cluttering up your email inbox.

Second, dedicate some time each morning to either act on your email or snooze on it until a particular time. I use fantastical and also things and create todos from them.

For stuff that’s shunted out of your inbox, review those periodically by subject. Do a deeper dive if something catches your eye.

You’ll get back to inbox zero.

Also, dedicate some time to curating your todo list. Don’t overschedule yourself, you’ll find a happy medium. Act on stuff instead of letting it pile up. It’ll make you feel good.

Next up, go through your password manager and figure out what accounts you really need, and either cancel the account or stick with it.

Also, look at your bank statement and see what you get auto-billed for. Cancel it if you don’t need it.

I also have a program on my Mac, hazel, that I use for tending to my desktop and download folders. If something is more than a day old, move it to a dedicated folder by file type.

Also, dedicate time to tending to your bookmarks and other digital assets.

> There are not many daily lifestyle choices that double your risk of dying. In a 2016 study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, Lindqvist’s team put it in perspective: “Avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor of a similar magnitude as smoking, in terms of life expectancy.”

There's a link around "put it in perspective." Following it through to the source leads to the 2016 study, which notes:

> We acknowledge several major limitations of this study. First, it is not possible to differentiate between active sun exposure habits and a healthy lifestyle, and secondly, the results are of an observational nature; therefore, a causal link cannot be proven. A further limitation is that we did not have access to exercise data from study initiation; however, similar sHR values were obtained when including exercise for those women who answered the second questionnaire in 2000. With the introduction of whole-genome scanning, a new method of getting closer to causality using observational data is Mendelian random analysis. A potential causal link between BMI and vitamin D levels has been demonstrated with this method 8. In addition, individuals with high BMI do not obtain the same increase in vitamin D levels by UV radiation as lean subjects 9. As a consequence, as BMI seems to be involved in the causal pathway of vitamin D, it should not be included as a confounder in analyses as has been performed in many studies.

This adds nuance missing from the original article. Also, AFAICT, the study doesn't mention anything about sunscreen use by the women. Based on the discussion in the original article, this study looks like a smoking gun. But going a little deeper, not so much.

It'd put the study into the category "needs follow-up."

Because you can’t undervalue things with clear values like stocks. You have to actually sell them. The IRS doesn’t accept shares for taxes, it accepts USD. Selling -> increased money velocity -> inflation.

Lower asset values aren’t deflation because “asset inflation” isn’t inflation. You can’t eat assets and it doesn’t matter if their prices go up because you can buy fractions of them. Asset inflation (the theory that 2010 QE was causing inflation “in the stock market” even though we didn’t see it in goods) is a crank theory from online people who think central banks print money.

I don’t get the fundamental premise of the article: Dermatologists warn about skin cancer from sun exposure, and the author takes issue with vitamin D not curing cancer and heart diseases.

What is “wrong” ? These two facts look disjointed to me, with no specific opposition.

Vitamin D not directly linked to curing cancer and heart diseases is also nothing new, there is very few scientifically proven effects of vitamin D[0] and it’s usually offered as “just in case” supplement.

Dermatologists arguing skin cancer can happen doesn’t seem wrong or unproven either, and all the “sun benefits us” part doesn’t seem to contradict that part either.

Am I missing some important cultural background of the author that makes it all a bigger point ?

Yeah, I know, but you can have much higher requirements, even consensus. As long as the requirements are higher than the population minus the smallest minority then it'd be hard to be a problem... You could also make them immutable to, so that people just have to leave to change them, but depending on what kinds of systems your talking about, that could require all kinds of other changes too.

> What's the problem with trying to explain human motivations like greed using our evolution?

Look up Social Darwinism. Broadly: most evolutionary explanations for social behaviour aren’t science. They’re parlour tricks. One can posit reasonable-sounding explanations for any behaviour, real or hypothetical, none of which is testable.

Example: I can construct individual-selection arguments for humans being evolved sociopaths and group-selection arguments for humans being collectivist sheep. There is truth in both statements. But their predictive value is totally dependent on the immeasurable mix and mechanics thereof, all of which is blissfully ignored, both in substance and evaluation, by this framing.

It sounds more like they just want to sell more sunscreen. They don't really care what color your skin is as long as money is changing hands. Nothing racist about that.

And doctors don't want to differentiate because it's safer to just say "sure, wear sunscreen all day and wear a helmet too, in case you get hit by a meteor". Nobody will blame a doctor for repeating the currently-accepted dogma. Maybe they'll blame sunscreen companies in ten years, but not the doctor.

It’s a great article. There definitely has been some back and forth on this topic for many years. It probably will always be like that, especially given it’s in the same realm of artificial light, eggs, and sugar.

I do believe much of these problems exist because of the literal interpretation of the science. More people are thinking in absolutes rather than how one can moderate these things in our lives.

Even just last year, many “influencers” on social media were misinforming younger people about the dangers of the sun. Speaking in the sense of never going outside without proper products. Debating if those products will give you the same benefits without them on ridding the risk. But none the less, selling a product at the end of the day.

There's a study on rabbits that finds you can give them skin cancer quite easily if you feed them a diet high in polyunsaturated fats.

If the same holds true in humans, it could explain our high skin cancer rates, since modern diets include a lot of polyunsaturated fats.

A corollary of that is that it might be a very bad idea, indeed, to stop using sunblock without also changing your diet, if you're eating a typical diet.

(Because maybe the diet is causal and the coincidentally-also-increasing-at-the-same-time sunblock use is actually a mitigating factor.)

Still, I do find the arguments in favor of sunlight's beneficial effects to be convincing. So my approach (/gamble) is to avoid modern sources of polyunsaturated fat (basically: seed oils and industrial ag chicken and pork) and mostly not wear sunblock.

(I'll let you know how it works out.)

It's all about managing entropy. Less surprising means you can use fewer letters. More surprising means more letters. That shouldn't be too controversial.

The part where it gets tricky is when a concept is widely used, but is a complex concept. What if you have dozens of calls to cudaGetTextureAlignmentOffset in a function, and hundreds in a codebase? Heck, even CUDA is an acronym, Compute Unified Device Architecture.

There's a similar complication when you have several of these big names with slight differences. Made up example, say you also had cudaGetTextureAccessKey, cudaGetVectorAlignmentOffset, etc. I actually find these sometimes worse than the initialisms, as my eyes skip over these long names. The acronyms (CGTAO, CGTAK, CGVAO) have a higher ratio of different letters to total length. But then obviously the abbreviations are very opaque.

Since the byline brings up race, its kind an aside but I'm almost convinced that a lot of our large scale nutritional/alternative medical studies give mixed results (and are not reproducable) because researchers are unwilling to sufficiently control for genes. High level categories like "black, white, hispanic, asian" are not enough.
The more entertaing version of this story goes:

IBM asks Japanese manufacturer to make 100 boards, specifying 1% failure rate.

On the day of the delivery from the manufacturer, the Japanese CEO comes to inspect the final shipment.

After doing so, he discusses the contract with his chief engineer, and the engineer mentions the failure rate spec.

The CEO nods, takes a board from a box, breaks it over his knee, and says "There is our failure rate".

Aggressive selectivity. 90% of everything is garbage, soooo.

Bias toward actionable. If it isn't actionable, toss it. If it's actionable, but you haven't acted in some arbitrary period of time, toss it. For the remainder, act.

Periodic ruthless purges. Does it MATTER? If you cannot identify a clear "Hell yes" alignment with your lived values and goals toward which you are actively working, toss it.

Staged purging: automatically send anything older than some arbitrary period of time to a staging purgatory area. Anything that remain there beyond some other arbitrary period of time: toss it.

Nuke: Wipe it all and start over, paying more attention (as above) this time.

> One interesting way of reducing doorings is to teach drivers and passengers the Dutch reach.

That really doesn't work. First, a cyclist is moving at least 15 feet per second, which is the average length of a passenger vehicle, so by the time they're besides you, they're already past you. Second, your view is blocked[1] by the B and C pillars of the vehicle as well as the headrest, so you won't be able to see a cyclist approaching.

The second best approach is to check the outside mirror before opening the door, but that doesn't work for passengers in the vehicle. The absolute best approach is to never, ever, ride in the door zone, regardless of whether or not door zone bike lanes are present.

I think they were just making a point that this relationship between Vitamin D and good health is correlative rather than causal, i.e people who had higher levels of Vitamin D were healthy because natural production of Vitamin D is common in people who are more active, rather than Vitamin D itself made them healthy.
