** Sic transit gloria mundi. Lo de khassoggi es inaceptable para Trump pero los saudíes son necesarios para equilibrar la fuerza de Irán.

Do You Need Daily Aspirin? For Some, It Does More Harm Than Good 

"My advice is not to take daily aspirin unless your risk for a cardiovascular event is greater than 20 percent over the next 10 years," says cardiologist Steven Nissen, MD, Chairman of Cardiovascular Medicine at Cleveland Clinic. In other words, that's very high risk and includes people with many other risk factors, such as smoking, diabetes or uncontrolled high blood pressure.

BBC - Travel - How the Finnish survive without small talk

BBC - Travel - How the Finnish survive without small talk

The Finnish don't believe in talking bullshit 

Small talk outside social situations between close friends is virtually non-existent. Interactions with baristas? Limited to the name of the coffee you want to order. Sitting, walking or standing in a way that requires acknowledging a stranger's presence? Never. (A meme featuring people standing outside a bus shelter rather than under it is an often-posted joke in Finland to illustrate this point.) If you're a foreigner, congratulations – you're probably the loudest person on their often (voluntarily) silent public transport.

Louder vowels won't get you laid, and other tales of spurious correlation | Ars Technica

 

Looking at cross-cultural patterns without accounting for this kind of shared history can lead to all kinds of surprising and wild findings—like more traffic accidents in countries with higher linguistic diversity or less smoking among speakers of languages that don't have a separate future tense. Roberts and a colleague foundthat there was a "strong relationship between the amount of chocolate consumed in a country and how many serial killers [it] produced." This sort of finding happens just because cultures often inherit things from their ancestors together: the foods they eat, the clothes they wear, and their political tendencies.

https://arstechnica.com/science/2015/06/louder-vowels-wont-get-you-laid-and-other-tales-of-spurious-correlation/

Previous cross‐cultural research by Robert Munroe and colleagues has linked two features of language to warm climates—a higher proportion of consonant‐vowel syllables and a higher proportion of sonorous (more audible) sounds. The underlying theory is that people in warmer climates communicate at a distance more often than people in colder climates, and it is adaptive to use syllables and sounds that are more easily heard and recognized at a distance. However, there is considerable variability in warm as opposed to cold climates, which needs to be explained. In the present research report, we show that additional factors increase the predictability of sonority. We find that more specific features of the environment—such as type of plant cover and degree of mountainous terrain—help to predict sonority. And, consistent with previous research on folk‐song style, measures of sexual restrictiveness also predict low sonority.

Why figuring out what's behind a big gender paradox won't be easy 

https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/10/gender-differences-in-personality-are-bigger-in-egalitarian-countries/

Paradoxical

This fascinating finding—dubbed the gender-equality paradox—isn't new, but two recent papers report fresh details. In a paper published in Science today, Armin Falk and Johannes Hermle report that gender differences in preferences like risk-taking, patience, and trust were more exaggerated in wealthier and more gender-equal countries. And in a recent paper in the International Journal of Psychology, Erik Mac Giolla and Petri Kajonius provide more detail on the original paradox.

Falk and Hermle used data from the 2012 Gallup World Poll that explored the preferences of around 80,000 people from 76 different countries. People answered questions about how they felt about things like patience and taking risks, and they also did mini-experiments to provide less subjective measurements—for example, choosing whether to take a fixed payment or play a lottery for a larger sum of money. The researchers compared these results to GDP for the 76 countries and also to a measure of gender equality that took into account things like international rankings and how long women have had the vote in each country. They found that richer and more gender-equal countries had bigger gender gaps in people's preferences.

But if people could catch the groundwater where it seeps out into the sea, they'd have fresh water—more or less. Water is safe to drink if it contains less than about 9,000mg of salt per liter; that threshold exists because we can't safely drink water saltier than our own bodily fluids, and blood plasma clocks in at 9,000mg/L. For comparison, sea water contains a whopping 35 grams of salt per liter, while anything less than 1,000mg/L is considered properly fresh. Everything in between is called brackish water, and it's apparently an acquired taste.
