A real estate license mostly teaches what you need to know about the laws around real estate transactions. It's pretty easy to get. Take the courses, pass the test, and you're in, there's no restricted access. You can set up

So at first glance this is based on an anonymous second-hand source, and written on the substack of a self-described Tesla short seller. How seriously should we take this? I'll note that in another article[1], the author claimed that t

I used to be under the impression that the Fourth Amendment was a de facto ban on warrantless surveillance.

I took that another way: that with Trump giving speeches lately saying he'll prosecute all his political enemies, we should probably tighten up the judicial restraint, just in case he wins.

"Which is better" would be a great question if those were the only two things we spent our money on. In reality, both are better than many other ways we spend our money.

Stage 4 melanoma used to mean you'd be dead in a year. I personally know someone who was flat-out cured of stage 4 melanoma. Her only treatment was three doses of immunotherapy. Her tumors shrank by two-thirds almost immediately. For t

That seems to have helped me a lot. I developed chronic pain in my knuckles from typing. I've had it for about seven years. I started strength training this year, for other reasons. Using a rowing machine irritated my fingers, so I tho

That's an amazing breakthrough and I'm not saying this is in any way a substitute, but a couple decades ago my parents were good friends with a guy who had Parkinson's and would often freeze when he was walking. I came across

That makes sense as long as we're aging normally, but suppose indefinite life extension actually becomes a reality? Personally I'd be interested in seeing what sort of insights I could come up with over the course of a couple thou

I don't want to just close them. I want to save them and have them searchable later, like I said above.

It's silly to require manual intervention for something so easy to automate. For those of us who accumulate hundreds of tabs, bookmarks aren't that helpful. I can't resist quoting the article: > (If you just said "boo

A big improvement for me would be if the browser just archived and closed old tabs after a few days of not getting focus. Then made the archived tabs searchable. History search helps a bit but that includes all the tabs I ended up not carin

In a D-T reactor you're not losing energy from neutrons, you're using the neutrons to heat a coolant and turn a turbine. (And also to breed more tritium, but that still generates heat.) He3 is rare but deuterium is decidedly not.

The temperature is high but the amount of heat isn't unusual. The atoms are moving fast but there aren't many of them. For a 500MW plant you're containing about the same amount of energy whether it's fusion or coal.

They lose so much in the lasers because they're using lasers from the 1990s, which are only 0.5% efficient. Equivalent modern lasers are over 20% efficient. From the input power being 130X more than the fusion output, modern lasers wou

I don't know why people insist that there can only be one. Maybe both sides of this debate are describing the real doomsday scenarios.

Sure I've been injured, but that's not due to an "aging body." I got injuries in my 20s, but I don't attribute that to aging. Most people wouldn't put pregnancy in that category either. Besides, a sprained ankl

In the early 2000s there was a lot of discussion about a US law that required phone providers to provide for wiretapping, with no mention of the underlying tech. Being P2P, that wouldn't work for Skype, so a journalist asked the Skype

That depends on the energy source, and how much is available. If for example we convert to 100% wind/solar/battery, we'll end up with a large oversupply of zero-carbon electricity in the summer.

At the current state of the art, it looks more like keeping the $175K dev and laying off four $60K devs.

So what were the causes? I was a Saab fan so I'm curious.

A sample size of 44 can be fine if the effect is large enough. In this case the effect was pretty large, which is why they have FDA approval now.

Not necessarily. Maybe you can get to an organ but don't want to cut into the organ.

According to the articles, it causes very little off-target damage.

In rodent studies, it actually does help with metastasis. It breaks tumor cells apart in a way that makes them recognizable by the immune system, which goes on to kill other cancer cells throughout the body. We'll have to see what happ

Long-term treasuries are generally not considered "cash." Short-term, sure, but t-bills are doing fine.
