Can you quote whatever you're talking about? I've searched the letter using keywords "demonic", "demon", and "infect" and can't figure out what you're talking about.

Yeah Biblical etymology and comparison with original languages is its own rabbit hole. See definition of word day in Genesis chapter 1 and how many conservative American churches don't do a very deep dive.

To be fair, you don't need a gym to get out and move regularly or have serious exercise. Lot of people just got in the park every day, and plenty of exercises exist that use only body weight for strength training. You're not goi

Physiologically, no, we don't. Psychologically? I think there will be issues. For your sports example, there is definitely a primal need being fulfilled, otherwise athletic competitions would not have existed in ancient times. It&#

Reading these tweets, I realize I had no idea that "growth mindset" had very specific claims. Finding evidence to either invalidate or lessen the validity of said claims doesn't take away from the main lessons I've had

Hah, you remind me of the scene at the beginning of The Perfect Storm where the owner of the boat explains to Mark Wahlberg's character why he gets paid so little while George Clooney's character gets paid so much. Compare sail

Better than who for example? Better than Iran? I'd certainly hope so. Other than Iran, I'd say it's too early to tell.

Almost all healthy, working-age people won't die from corona. Many of them won't even really notice that they have something other than a cold. Some won't have any symptoms at all. Perhaps most, and yet the whistleblower do

If the security concerns decrease, perhaps they can get to the point of how security is done for ISP and power substations. If so, many smaller nodes across a city are much more feasible.

That Macbook Pro is probably also much more powerful than your Sun Ultra 5 workstation though. Technology has improved. The important question is whether the stuff they give you enables you to effectively do your job or not.

That's weird, I've never ever heard someone complain that a font was too big to be comfortable to read before. Do you have any sense what about it makes it more uncomfortable for you? Small fonts are easy to explain.

No, if you do a side-by-side comparison, China may do a good job of defending their region, but they would be completely unable to project their power or enter a different theater of war without leaving themselves defenseless. It's no

Yes, the US sucks at winning wars. At the same time, I'm not sure what other nation is capable of waging war on the scale of the US. Perhaps the war on a large scale is just an intractable problem that cannot be solved, and the US is

If I had shares, sure. But if I have disdain for the company, why would I want to own their shares? Hence, you have self-selecting shareholders who don't care.

Trees are also oxygen producers. I'm curious how oxygen would be produced around the world if forests decline dramatically. I think we need to consider more than whether or not carbon gets stored.

I wouldn't say there's something horrible about it. But if you're trying to invite someone to something, if there's social awkwardness, I think it usually means that they don't want to come, but they also don'
