yes, and I suppose it should be mentioned I have no relation to the author. Thanks weeantsy!

I can't help but note that A. Aron was the lead writer. You done messed up!

I agree that this is the shape of the answer, but I think that fat being preferential to muscle as a calorie store leaves not a lot of room to believe that muscle had substantial other advantages to health. Now of course, it might not be h

Presumably because carrying surplus fat has minimal cost relative to the evolutionary likelihood of famine. This is more obvious than the muscle scenario. For muscle, prior to the famine you get to do cool things like punch your neighbor an

In a famine, they can consume their muscles as calories.

How many calories do you think it takes [to maintain] +1 lb of muscle mass, with same activity levels? [Hint: It's not the broscience 50]

Weight training doesn't make your muscles bigger, it inspires your body to make your muscles bigger. So my question has always been, if having bigger muscles is good why doesn't the body just do it? It certainly has to be aware th

I'm not clever enough to relate these to each other.

yeah -- but most of them don't.

This is also how I see things going. Humans end more or less, and give birth to machine children. I don't think any part of it will be perfect though. It'll just be some starting condition playing out according to platonic princip

Most people spend a great deal of time fighting their impulses in order to behave in a proper socialized manner: go to work, be nice, clean up, call your mom, don't procrastinate, etc.

I'm a fan and investor in Tesla, but there's 3 parts to winning the ridesharing, autonomous, BEV future and the most important part is the role that Uber has right now which is the customer-ridesharing-relationship. The platform t

Presumably the 'Commons' here is control over the government. However, the example is a trivialization of reality and that matters, in the same way that assuming all economic actors are rational matters (they aren't). It&#x27

You didn't mention the effect of the poor who are now richer getting more power. You didn't mention that people can gain power by being virtuous and admirable, in fact damaging your own interests on purpose is a direct sign of pow

Personally, I vote for decentralizing power a little bit. Got a problem getting red and blue states to agree on healthcare? Fine. Let the states decide.

Probably the best bet here is to create mechanisms such that wealthy people who possess an abundance of caring and money can donate that money to the less fortunate, which would have the side effect of levelling the field, and the bonus of

Travis also tried to partner with Tesla on this by using Tesla as a source for the vehicles (not sure who was responsible in this case for the software -- prolly uber), and Musk declined. Soon thereafter, Musk published his grand plan part

UBI sounds a bit like minimum wage. Our normal tools of analysis will fail to find much of a problem so long as it's only a small difference from how things would have been without it, and a disaster otherwise.

> There is no way on god's earth that Tesla can ramp up production like that I'm not clear what like that you are referring to, or what would be a more reasonable plan.

Yeah -- and you don't lose half your fuel economy by getting the one that goes 0-60 in 4 seconds.

Very well said (to Andreessen I suppose). I started off with spreadsheets, but have evolved to this over time, even though it feels less rigorous and more intuitive. To some extent, I wonder how much investment banks suffer from the fact th

Looks like you might be using EBITDA wrong up there ('operating profit'). just fyi. This approach is essential but most casual investors seem to overlook it. I find it also useful to contemplate worst case and best case scenarios

Because that's what the title of the article said. (approximately). Anyway, I would have made the same point. Also, delivery numbers kind of disappointing. Also, oil price collapse. Also, the market has been sniping some of the top spe

I'm on a 3 month back pain streak which is unprecedented for me. It's co-occuring with higher than usual weight range for me, as well as I had started making a concerted effort to stand straighter and adjust head-forward posture a

It's the freedom to, not necessarily the goodness of doing it. He's just on the conservative/libertarian side of things.

With power comes great responsibility. If we want to move forward with the changes we want to see in the tech culture to something more hospitable to all, we need to highlight those people most responsible for shaping it when they behave po
