I don’t know if consolidation is going to be a good thing. Game developers need a player base to be profitable, and that usually means games available to the public.

Isn’t the shortage of healthcare workers world wide? How does reducing the friction of moving into the US do anything but shift the problem around?

I’d like to know that if I have a heart attack or get hit by a bus then I’ll have access to top quality healthcare —- not burnt out understaffed hospitals. Sharing limited resources is a major role of the government, and managing hospital c

It’s well established that BMI doesn’t work well for diagnosing individuals but is a reliable and valid method for measuring obesity in populations. For individuals measuring body fat percentage is probably the most accurate measurement, b

I think the “time is money” metaphor is very useful to thinking about time as a limited resource. The average person has about 630,000 hours in their life. Take out 210,000 for sleeping, a largely involuntary time sink. The time cost is

Self-handicapping is a huge effect, I’m surprised we don’t see it more frequently discussed in tech. This effect is really about creating a narrative and identity for ourselves. People attempt things and fail all of the time. If we put t

I don’t think assumption is the correct stance, but a healthy skepticism sounds in order. Alcohol is clearly capable of long term impairment, the debate seems to be about dose response. Nicotine is more questionable, but clearly leaves lon

I don’t believe the Boots Theory of Socioeconomics applies here. It rarely applies to luxury goods. 1. A phone can easily be lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair. A $25 phone isn’t 8x more likely to break than a $200 phone, so the damag

I think you are being nostalgic. The current generation of communication software (iMessage, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Signal, Messenger, Hangout, Matrix, etc) trumps what was popular in the 90s/00s.

Maybe somehow asking the question “Will this pump up a $50 hold or a $100 hold on my card, because I only have a $75 balance and a $100 hold would create an overdraft fee”. This game really lacks realism.

I don’t think we can look at this at the author level. Imagine if we had 1 million different authors making predictions, certainly some of them in the population will be very accurate and in retrospect they’ll look like geniuses.
