That's logical, no? While we do not know when that will happen, once it does, it will snowball massively from there on out. It may happen in 5 years, or in 50, or in 150 -- nobody knows. For all we know we could be one seminal paper aw

Of course they do. Raise the deductible 5-10x and you can claim some pretty interesting "premium reduction" numbers.

You can measure whatever you like, but my costs have gone up nearly threefold and my plan is worse now than it used to be. I'm not interested in solving world peace here. I just want to understand why insuring a relatively healthy fami

As far as I can tell by looking at my premiums, it actually significantly sped up the growth of costs. I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise with a straight face.

Have you actually used it? I have it on my desk. It's garbage. Low res, narrow FoV display, graphics capabilities from 10 years ago. I wouldn't pay fifty bucks for it if I was spending my own money.

I hope it also contains a decent CPU. The first version has a ridiculously underpowered Atom with no vector capability of any kind. Not the kind of thing you would expect in a $3000 device.

I am an "athlete". Not a competitive one, but I do lift pretty heavy. Thanks for the recommendation.

Men often do those stupid high paying things simply due to societal pressure. Barring being physically beautiful (which most men just aren't), for a male to be attractive as a mate it helps tremendously to not be poor. I don't see

I'm more interested in sustained weight loss over the rest of person's life. Best I can tell, that is predicated on reducing insulin resistance while not restricting calories too much. People don't stick with reduced calorie

Does someone know of any serious "weight loss" books that are _rigorously evidence based_, without layman explanations, bad/outdated research, and bovine manure like confusing correlation with causation or relying on small, u

Tech crowd is doing pretty well as it is. Low skilled and unskilled workers are already kind of f#$ed, with more to come due to globalization, and (later) automation.

Open borders == immediate destruction of the low-skilled and unskilled labor market due to oversupply of labor.

Apple tends to be pretty high end as of late. So they could chuck a decent GPU and a quad core CPU in there, raising the price, of course. I'd buy one. My mini is something like 5 years old at this point.

I hope Apple updates Mac mini in response. It's over 3 years old now. About time it got kaby lake and USB C treatment.

Air squats and kettle bells won't really prepare you for low back squat, as they do not develop tight upper back. Squat with an empty bar instead.

One thing I would advise to those starting out from a completely untrained state, is take it slow, your muscles get stronger much faster than your tendons. And tendons also heal much slower than muscles, and if you screw them up bad, the

I've been to some restaurants with crazy number of courses. Last time I went I got to gorge on a steak that was significantly smaller than a matchbox. Honestly, the only good thing about these restaurants were wine pairings.

And it goes without saying that the news sources preferences will reflect those of Google's predominantly liberal top brass.

"At Alinea, there aren't any à la carte dishes; instead you feast on the restaurant's 22-course tasting menu, which costs between $210 and $265 per person, depending on the day. Additional wine pairings range from the standar

Their primary concern is getting rich people to spend three hundred dollars per person. I've been to high end restaurants. It's not about food at all. It's a combination of a status symbol and show business. They're putt

It's also much less calorically dense. It's not just snacks though. It's also nearly anything you can buy in a store that's made of wheat or corn. Whole aisles of stuff, packed floor to ceiling. People keep eating it bet

Non-GMO and organic is mostly BS of course, but it's a fact that refined carbs are cheap and plentiful, so the poor consume proportionally more of them. They simply can't afford fruit and meat. This is in part because of the infin
