Except that it will cost a lot more to build, insure and maintain. That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if people with too much money start buying just to have bragging rights on a magnificent view of the sea level rise.

If you are mainly looking at an energy source for the downtimes, then there is currently enough hydro being generated to do that.

Except than China and Australia are doing exactly what you said cannot be done. Also Canada is complaining that they have a massive surplus of hydroelectricity, that they would like to sell us, but it’s apparently very complicated to get an

There isn’t a single line in OP’s post that isn’t wrong. He gets the costs wrong, he gets the deployment wrong, he gets efficiencies wrong, he get political stories wrong. If a post is not going to get downvoted, HN should at least have a w

Not only that but, you would have be constantly exposed by constantly eating bananas. And even at one banana/minute you would only be exposed to an amount of radiation that is lower than living on earth. If BED was a thing, banana plan

That’s still not what stoicism is. Those quotes are one of many about not holding your success or who you are to materialistic goals, or infinite goals. while reflecting on yourself via meditation can be useful, it is not the only way, it d

No discussions about how we smile at the costs?

I wake up at 6. Then I do breakfast, lunches, shower, walk the kiddo and backpack out the door, take the train, go to work. According to some website, my income puts me in the top 15%. So middle-high maybe... I apply stoicism to my life. It

That Oregon study was too limited in scope, variables, population, and time. It just wasn’t well done. Now if your goal is to decrease state spending shorterm, then this is definitely a dumb move, and we didn’t even need that “experiment”.

Garbage in / garbage out. You can’t get away from reliable and predictable data. At that part is shockingly lacking. We have much better, sensitive and high-though put methods these days, but we are still relying on mice or cell cultu

Why would it cost $1M for everyone? Not everyone has a disease or an accident. And if we were all greatly diseased at the same time, the price tag would be the least of our worry.

I was once told by someone close to me that “Caring for the environment is nice and all, but we’re not going to stop living for it”. So I am not surprised by how people are acting right now.

Any mice trial should use 4 different breeds: one of the academic hallmark (black6 or balb/c) for publication purpose, one that represent your model (or so you think) because that’s the logical thing to do, and a truly wild type one (c

Organoids, organ-on-chip, 3D cell cultures, have all shown to be equivalent to each other, and better than standard 2D cell culture. Ultimately they are not very complex, definitely more than a monoculture, but no where near an organism tha

The problem with Vit D3 supplement is that you don’t absorb most of it. It is well known, than the bioavailability of the supplements is not the same and that even the molecule itself is not the same as the one your organism produces. Also,

You're cherry picking, and the US is getting worse every year in that metric, while other countries have started tackling that. But the main thing is this has nothing to do with the universality of healthcare, more about how it has bee

It is sad, because there is certainly a link, it’s not just the direct one that all academia is jumping to conclusions. You pretty much nailed all those studies. Those type of hard to characterize, very complex, and poorly understood diseas

Title is misleading, that is not what the study really suggests. That study also doesn't do a good job at discriminating between causality and consequence. Nonetheless, they are careful in their conclusion and suggests that it is more

I stopped paying for news because they are biased (one sided like others mentioned in this post), they are shallow, narrow, and lazy. Most news outlets now simply spin a news report from the same single source. So I don’t see why I should p

Olive oil can easily sustain 160C for hour long period of time. You can use it for saute and pan frying. What you are refering too is deep frying with temperatures above 190C. That is what the consensus is, also my personal experience: it s

Wheat has a microbiome too. Academia hasn’t mined it as extensively as the human one, but Industry has and VCs have been very generous.
