Solution to weight problem that I found is simple, even if somewhat expensive: dietary catering (as in: having ready-made meals delivered to your doorstep). The problem isn't usually quantity of food, but quality. Having 5 pre-packaged

I think the explanation here is that referendum is anonymous, while polls not so much. When questioned by the person doing the poll people tend to give answers that they think are expected from them (i.e. Politically Correct), at referendum

It means that the old HODLers mantra: "when in doubt, zoom out" does not apply anymore. The all time high from late 2021 ($67k) will remain ATH for at least 7-10 more years.

I read an article some time ago with the reasoning that went like this: "The goal of software development is to automate things. So, in principle, with time there should be less demand for software development skills because most of th

What are you even referring to when talking about "subsidizing fossil fuels"? Aren't they heavily taxed in the most of the world?

That's how i understood GP's "half of such groups" statement - as a 50-50 chance (half of all groups, not half of the people in the group). But maybe I was biased because I heard of "Birthday Paradox" before.

As far as I know TSMC is building a new factory in Arizona right now, and one more in Taiwan. That was largely financed by Apple's money, and is a huge win for consumers who will benefit from the most advanced chip manufacturing capabi

What's anti-competitive about that? Apple doesn't even make their own chips, they need outside vendor for that. AMD and Intel are free to offer TSMC even more money, if they want.

It's not even about such works as Dante's Inferno, which are directly thematically related to Bible. As with Shakespeare it's all about hundreds of small things, expressions, metaphors. Without Bible words and phrases such as

Can't that be seen as an argument against seatbelts and airbags as well?

I hate them to this day. They often are not easy to drive, their wheels tend to block, and navigating a supermarket full of people pushing those carts is a nightmare. I switched to doing grocery shopping online because of that.

There's an easy way to distinguish "game of skill" from "game of chance" - just ask yourself: "Is there a World Championship for that game?" Championships are organized only for games of skill, where you c

Playing with money affects your strategy, because once you are out of money you are out of the game. Even if you play for pennies, you still need to think about how much can you put at stake in every single game in order to maximize profits

My take is that Netflix is doomed. They had a good run, because they were first streaming platform, but at the end of day it is all about the content that you have, and big competitors, such as HBO and especially Disney+ are much better at
