There's a long tail of expensive health care events that have little to do with lifestyle. As a model, it's intriguing, but I wonder how financially feasible this is. If everyone ate their kale, and did their squats, what would he

Contributing to open source can be a valuable sign. It shows the candidate could navigate a large repository, communicate with the maintainers, and successfully merge something-- the ancillary soft skills needed when developing software in

If you are unsure to what extent you can or cannot depend on the consultant, you might as well do all the work yourself at that point. They cannot add value to the process; they could have not paid the consultant and worked directly with th

You would expect the consultant to explain this to the small business owner, who isn't the SME.

The problem with real estate is your retirement plan for a triplex may not materialize if you own in Detroit, and it's the 1970s and car manufacturing won't ever decline. It's putting a lot of eggs in one basket. You have no

There's a difference between a national public health messaging and a 1:1 discussion with your physician, and I don't think you're reasonably distinguishing between the two. No politician would spend 60 minutes discussing how

If people are as indeed as smart as you and your parent commenter say they are, then they will understand there doesn't exist any risk-free medical procedure. Having to remind of them of that fact is the kind of patronizing you both se

How are you supposed to communicate 1 in 10^7 chance of anything happening versus communicating it's risk-free. The public isn't educated well enough to ascertain the difference. College-educated members of society sure, but what

It's a good test to determine if the replier is human, but it isn't a good test of whether or not it's a decent answer to the question posed. Can you definitively sit here and say that flipping a plate necessitates the antece

What does it mean to 'flip' the plate? A cupcake sitting on an upside down plate is a valid configuration. If you rotate just the plate, and put a cupcake on top of it, congrats-- you have one cupcake on an upside down plate. The

No matter how hard I try, my productivity on a plane drops 1 order of magnitude. The dry air and altitude changes are weighted much higher than the quality of the wifi connection.

The end state of all of this is fewer customers, but each customer is more passionate about what they're buying (and paying far more). Customers who were only marginally interested in the service are de-prioritized, and the business fo

It's tiring, but for those of us that have the humility to know, for example, that we aren't experts in implementing every last detail of WCAG-spec compliant accessibility --and the application I'm building requires it-- it&#

We need to consider the variation in the problem spaces of top 10%, top 25%, and the long tail of software engineers. Engineers doing nothing more vanilla starter NextJS projects might be at the highest risk for their skillset eroding to te

I would have expected it to be like agricultural products -- rows of corn with spaces between rows, so you could access the interior without stepping over the outer panels.

You can't do 5+1 on the current total land area occupied by low-density because you'd end up with far more housing than 330 million or so people need. You add that level of density to the core of small towns, then you have enough

If it is indeed that much cheaper to start from scratch, we have the open land to do so. Housing prices might fall in the areas that are chosen for divestment, but if we can't afford it, it's unclear what other paths remain. I lar

Is there a reason existing programming languages cannot be used for smart contracts? The overhead of a new language seems quite high compared to the already established engineering communities around widely adopted languages.

Too many people needed plus unanimous approval required generally keeps things moving at the speed of molasses. But sometimes that's good for business continuity. Many times it isn't necessary.

Inflation rates experienced by individuals vary based off types of goods/services purchased. A wealth tax would instead apply evenly.

There's smart, but then there's creative. Smart engineers might be wizards of mastering the technology, but creative engineers will re-define the problem domain such that their team can deliver without being blocked by other teams

Can you fire 80% of doctors and a hospital will survive? Probably, the janitorial staff will still come in, and the light switch will still light a bulb. As a sibling comment notes, the degree to which employees are expendable and measure o

In all instances, it's a matter of time and place (moreso the former than the latter); we can see huge generational divides in homeownership rates by generation.

The market has priced in a move from 1 to 2 earners, which is reasonable given societal expectations around household formation. Given a move from 2 to 3 would be highly unexpected, ceteris paribus home prices could plateau.

Household income is a skewed bell curve [0]. Some graphs make it it appear bi-modal because the last few bars will contain larger buckets: in this chart, the last 2 bars represent $50,000 in values where all proceeding values are $5,000 [1]

The socioeconomic impact of a grocery store is far more important than anything happening in the SaaS world. Towns live and die by grocery stores-- food deserts as they're known in areas that go without. It's fair to be critical o

Is the fact that their cards tend to have lower limits a business "code smell" for lack of a better term? Does it say anything about Stripe's own financial standing, or perhaps they are just conservative compared to other cre
