Shameless plug, I am fascinated by Monty Hall and I had a hard time proving it to my friends so I made this: https://kr1stjans.github.io/monty-hall/ :D feedback appriciated :)
If you are more interested in best cities by digital nomads, I much prefer nomadlist [1]. Main criteria is safety, cost, internet, fun. You can also add additional filters.
Technically yes, they don't pay salary taxes on nomadic destinations, however in practice, they spend most of their income on these nomadic destinations and probably add a lot more fuel to the economy than an average local.

I am independent contractor looking for new challenges. We can easily start with part time job to minimize the risk for you and me and it may develop into a fulltime gig later on. I worked for 10 years in a coorporate Java ecosystem followed by being a technical cofounder in a Twitter-like social network. Beside programming I managed teams of up to 5 people, loved to work closely with UI and UX and got my BSC and MSC inbetween.
I would love to have a quick video call to see if there is a fit :)
What is your opinion on these claims? I am looking for trustful resources to get an objective overview of the issue. I am generally an optimist and I believe these wars were started with good intentions. The article's narrative is like the people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan would be better off if US didn't intervene. I don't really believe that. Do you have any good objective resources on these matters?
> The article's narrative is like the people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan would be better off if US didn't intervene.
What would be your opinion if another country decided to invade the USA because they think they can put a better government? Let's say, Europe decides to invade USA and enforce a minimal 15 days paid holidays per year.
>I am generally an optimist and I believe these wars were started with good intentions
That seems well past the bounds of optimism. Was there anything approaching consensus in the intelligence community that Iraq was even meaningfully related to 9/11?
The way you said it, I guess not. Quick Google says that Bush though they had weapons of mass destructions, but they were never found. What are you implying is the real reason behind Iraqi war? Did US benefit anyhow from Iraqi war?
Them being suspected of having weapons of mass destruction is hardly sufficient cause for war. There are, after all, many countries that we know for sure have them.
- standing desk; standing burns twice more calories than sitting; I went with Ikea's Trotten model for 220€ (its cheaper but requires a lot of manual hand rotation to change the height and it forced me to stand up longer; it was hard for me to stand and work and because I don't have a simple button to lower the desk, it forced me stand up longer)
- tennis ball to massage my back by leaning with it on the wall
- laptop stand, external keyboard and external trackpad; for better posture during standing and sitting; trackpad is more comfortable for me than mouse)
- vitamin D supplements for the winter
- smartwatch or smart band to keep basic track of sleep and fitness; I went with Xiaomi Mi Band 6
- smart weight to keep track of my weight and set goals; I went with Mi Body Composition Scale
This has been a total game changer for me, as I could never find a stand that would get the laptop up as high as I wanted.
My posture has never been better!
I’ve been using LEVO tablet stands for five years now. Pricey but <$200, and nary a complaint. Used on all sorts of iPads and will outlast a few of them. No wear evident and only one tightening over five years…made me pleased in 2022.
What do you think about his promotion of NMN? I was very excited at first, but looking at his past, it all seems very shady.
In 2004, Sinclair, along with serial entrepreneur Andrew Perlman, Christoph Westphal, Richard Aldrich, Richard Pops, and Paul Schimmel, founded Sirtris Pharmaceuticals. Sirtris was focused on developing Sinclair's research into activators of sirtuins, work that began in the Guarente lab. The company was specifically focused on resveratrol formulations and derivatives as activators of the SIRT1 enzyme; Sinclair became known for making statements about resveratrol like: "(It's) as close to a miraculous molecule as you can find. ... One hundred years from now, people may be taking these molecules on a daily basis to prevent heart disease, stroke, and cancer." Most of the anti-aging field was more cautious, especially with regard to what else resveratrol might do in the body and its lack of bioavailability. The company's initial product was called SRT501, and was a formulation of resveratrol. Five years later, GSK shuttered the Sirtris program without successful drug development.
Sinclair broadly discusses his longevity practices on social media and includes them in his book. They include daily doses of NMN and resveratrol, which Sinclair says are activators of SIRT1.
Studies published in 2009 and early 2010 by scientists from Amgen and Pfizer cast doubt on whether SIRT1 was directly activated by resveratrol and showed that the apparent activity was actually due to a fluorescent reagent used in the experiments.
