The scientific thing to do would be to only use novel food additives when they have been proven to be safe, when they've been tested for toxicity, effects on the microbiome and the digestive tract specifically.

Geometric algebra was, for me, an easier on-ramp to more advanced topics in mathematics, leveraging the geometric intuition built into these objects. I learned vector algebra in university, so extending the idea of a direction with magnitud

So someone who buys and empty piece of land, and holds it while everyone else around them invests money in the neighbourhood, deserves the gain they realize. That's an interesting worldview. >Tell that to the people who left urban S

Yes, it would need to be implemented gradually. It would be enough to start by slowly shifting taxes from buildings and improvements and onto land values. This would only negatively affect those with a greater than average amount of their h

Just summarize Progress and Poverty, okay. One important note is the "land value" always refers to the undeveloped value of the land. The tax pretends that it's an empty lot with no improvements, taken in the context of its d

It's not an argument not to do it. I'm just pointing out that it isn't enough to make the world a better place, you need to have a plan ready for how to keep it that way or we just get captured again.

That would be a disincentive to land ever being sold and I don't think we want that. It's gameable too: you just have one entity own the land, and then rather than buying and selling the land, you just buy and sell the entity.

You've read it correctly.

The value of land is the result of the productivity of society and the bounty of nature. Would you consider the massive growth in property values over the last 30 years an earned benefit? What have landowners done to deserve this bounty bes

One limitation I have not seen discussed is LVT's self-defeating nature, and it's an important one to figure out if land value taxes are to succeed in practice. An upside and downside of LVT, depending on your perspective, is that

Yup. Geometric algebra has one equation for each of: projection, rejection, join (e.g., two points into a line), and meet (e.g., two planes interacting at a line). The algebraic expression is the same regardless of the elements you're

They have a large number of testimonials from people who have significantly reduced their prescriptions, as well as with optometrists trying to do the same for their patients. I can't speak from experience, but it's something I wa

If you want to demonstrate why the three-body problem is chaotic, you can set it up to run a couple hundred very similar simulations in parallel. Just nudge each body by a tiny amount to simulate uncertainty in the initial conditions and wa

Projective geometric algebra for anyone wondering. A null basis vector is added to the basis vectors of the space you're working in. This allows the algebra to represent geometric objects that do not pass through the origin.

The last thing I bought on Amazon was a potato peeler. Instead of the quality European peeler I paid for, I received a cheap Chinese peeler that bent the first time I tried it. No returns allowed because the item was considered "danger

If you don't like the Cybertruck, you can close your browser tab and not be offended further. Tesla 3s and Ys exist in the real world, and they're more pleasant to look at than most vehicles.

I've dabbled with egui, and ran into this limitation almost immediately (har har). I got around it by storing widget size between frames so that I could center it properly on the next frame. Not perfect, but it worked.

It's only restrictive in a society that can't go a single meal without animal products. I don't eat animal flesh, secretions, or eggs. That leaves legumes, fungi, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and grains. A veritable cornuc

I look lean, not wasted away. "Protein-deficient vegans" is a joke among omnivores, who assume that anyone not eating meat must be malnourished, and among vegans, who find ignorance of that magnitude hilarious.

I've heard that waist-to-hip ratio is a better measure of overall health because it more directly measures the amount of visceral fat, but that wasn't wasn't what the study being quoted was measuring.

I take zinc, B12, D, K2 and algal omega-3. B12 is the big one, you're just trading diabetes and heart disease risk for stroke risk without that one. And everyone in northern climes should be taking vitamin D. Our salt is iodized.
