- Comment on How did Third World countries handle the Covid Pandemic? 2 weeks ago:
A lot of countries in South America had very strict rules. Double-mask requirements, mandatory vaccines, stay-at-home days. What they perhaps lacked in access to vaccines, they tried to make up with those stricter rules. They also made deals with China & Russia for their vaccines, in lieu of limited access to Pfizer etc.

Sports jerseys are even worse. You pay a fortune, to wear plastic, and then you have 3-4 sponsors plastered all over the shirt.

- Comment on LinkedIn fined $335 million in EU for tracking ads privacy breaches 3 weeks ago:
Tbh, you’re probably right. It’s the same reason that solar finally is seeing an uptick, and how cryptography works. Solar makes financial sense now, and cryptography is all just about how much money you would need to spend to crack a password.

Just jail the CEO. Maybe their salary will finally be justified, if they’re willing to take the risk.
- Comment on Automatic emergency braking is getting better at preventing crashes 4 weeks ago:
Not really, no. A warning maybe, but the car “thinking” there’s a need for a full-stop, and acting on it, especially on a motorway sounds way scarier to me.

Seems to me it really should only turn on at low speeds in the first place. Avoiding hitting someone in a parking lot etc.

- Comment on Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" does feel good and isn't satisfying? 2 months ago:
A complete REM cycle is usually around 90mins, and it takes about 30mins to start falling asleep deeply. For me personally, 7.5hrs is the perfect amount of sleep, which equates to 5 REM cycles.
Now, if you wake up in the middle of a cycle, you will usually feel groggy as your brain gets to grip with reality. Therefore, you want to aim to wake up just at the end of a cycle, ideally.
Try sleeping without an alarm, and make note of when you went to bed, and when you woke up. Hopefully, that time should be roughly divisible by 90mins, assuming nothing woke you up.
Knowing the above info, you can time your sleep better to ensure you don’t set an alarm for mid-cycle. As the other commenter mentioned, there are also apps & devices that can help detect when you’re coming out of REM and time the alarm based on that.
Lastly, if you do snooze after waking up, try “snoozing” for a full REM cycle (90mins), or try a power nap (<25mins). That might help “catch up” on sleep after you wake up.
I used to purposefully set my alarm 90mins before my actual wake up time, and then “snooze” for 90. That was mainly to induce lucid dreams though.
