Would love to see this reproduced, or more explanation given to what part of the peanut causes this.

Supposedly its the L-arginine.

> In particular, peanuts contain high amounts of L-arginine, a precursor for nitric oxide synthesis, which is essential for vascular function and blood flow regulation [6,11]. Therefore, this may represent a mechanism by which peanut consumption could positively influence cognitive performance through improvements in CBF. Furthermore, peanuts are a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols, both of which have been shown to support vascular health [12].

And there do seem to be papers that associate these two according to a quick google search (plus it's cited of course).


interesting!

The results are nuts!

> making America less attractive to brainy immigrants

This article is a hit job.

Only H1B visas have been affected by the entry fee for a SINGLE year.

The O1 genius visa and the student visa are still in place and the student visa can still convert to H1B with no issue same as always.

There are many who wish Trump had gone further with this.

Although it is weird that Trump doesnt have any econometric people giving us economic data.


Political freedom is usually prized by "brainy immigrants" - especially those who were likely to travel to the USA.

The problem isn't just the $100,000 fee (not insignificant) but the risks associated with being an immigrant with restricted political freedom in an increasingly authoritarian nation[1].

I'm not through the article but reached that point - I believe the author may be alluding to ICE and fear of persecution rather than changes to H1B or other visas.

I may be incorrect but that was my impression in part because no one, in my experience, takes seriously the premise that H1B is a "brainy immigrant" visa


Yep. That was outright inaccurate made me quit reading.

I think you misunderstand parent‘s comment to your comment.

Where does it say it’s about the visa fees?

The US became less attractive for becoming an authoritarian state that is a threat to its own people because of people like RFK Jr. or ICE raids based on racial profiles.


The US has deported millions of people, including in ICE raids, over the past 20 years, under both parties. Notably, the Obama administration built 'cages' (AP coined the term) for children of illegals.

The notion that this is new, or that it is a single side, is of course an attempt to paper over historical data which is readily accessible.

Authoritarian regimes tend to have no checks and balances, whereas the other two branches of government have both repeatedly restrained the executive this year, through both law and judicial rulings. They also tend to clamp down on free speech, which isn't happening (but is in Europe), or disarm the population (try owning a firearm in China or North Korea).


For foreign people who might apply for visa the perception matters.

Did the Obama administration also had masked troops hunt down people on the street or arrested them in front of children like the current does?

So male indirect death threats to politicians for stating facts isn’t clamping down on free speech

https://www.axios.com/2025/11/20/trump-death-threats-democra...

So this is free speech https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reprisals_against_commentators...

but similar things in Europe is clamping down on free speech?


>Notably, the Obama administration built 'cages' (AP coined the term) for children of illegals.

Weird how you're being down voted for saying the truth.


It's sane-washing pure and simple.

Cherry picking the parts where Obama and Biden acted similar but leaving out the parts where Trump ramped up, isn’t exactly telling the truth

Depending on the day, Obama/Biden either supposedly let in tens of millions with completely open borders, or else they were the party that innovated cruelty against prospective immigrants. Depending on which narrative is convenient.

You're the one doing the cherry picking we with that double standards logic

You seriously want to tell me the Obama and Trump are no different in their treatment of illegal and legal immigrants?

How often did Obama call them drug traffickers and rapists. How often did the Obama administration deport people to some of the worst prisons in foreign countries.

Or answer me this. If Trump doesn’t do anything different what is a bragging about? And how could Obama do the sane with less money and people? Something isn’t adding up, don’t you think?


>How often did Obama call them drug traffickers and rapists.

Probably less often then he drone striked the middle east while getting the Nobel Peace Prize.

Yes, forget about illegals breaking laws, focus on the hurtful words Trump is using to call those breaking laws.

Obama isn't president anymore, and a lot dem policies of 2008 era are now the same ones republicans are pushing but being called fascist for it. Crazy.

This is why libs are so cooked, because it's all about performative actions and optics for you. You worship Obama but bash Trump for doing what Obama was doing or campaigning on.

If Trump would have build those child detainment cage camps, you guys would have been frothing at the mouth, but since Nobel peace prize Obama built them, then it's OK, only Trump is the evil one for also using them as well.


The H-1B Visa Program and Its Impact on the U.S. Economy - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45309740

Research doesn't show that dietary acids affect body pH that much.

There's massive buffer systems in the body.


Source? There are many sources that show that pH in urine and saliva increases when people drink alkaline water.

Of course urine would, its the result of kidneys eliminating the acid brought to them by the plasma buffer system. But blood and body Ph don't change.

The body is incredibly complex so I'm not saying this is conclusive but here's a source plus a lot of explanation with numerous experiments.

Another thing: Calcium strongly associates with acid.

And there's no evidence of osteoporosis or bone leaching with high acid diets.


Yep, homeostasis

It would just get ripped and put on pirate streaming sites.

This seems like a chicken and egg downward spiral with consumers pirating and studios producing slop.


I thought it was about exercising. (which also helps with stress)

To run your own chatgpt level model would require half a million bucks in infrastructure.

People talk about LLMs and chatGPT in the same breath.

Just like how people used to say 'google it'

They now say 'look it up on chatGPT'.

They have the cultural mind share which is more important than anything.


I ask people this. In the UK at least it seems like chatgpt is not so pervasive to the folks I talk to. "Oh that AI mode on Google search?" is potentially more common from "average" people.

I hear that it is very popular in schools though as everyone is always looking for the best way to cheat and ChatGPT got viral that way earlier. Not sure being "the cheating app" is a great look though? Advertisers are very sensitive to the surfaces they are displayed on - do they want to appear in the app being used primarily to cheat on homework?


You'll always have property taxes, maintenance, insurance etc even after your house is paid off.

So that 300,000 is the money you need to passively support your house after you've paid it off.


Stonks always go up!

And always have gone up for decades!

It's really great!
