The article seemed more like a rant to me. “Choice is between food socialism or food barbarism.” Not even clear what that means. Headline, if it was supposed to be the thesis, wasn’t really explained/supported in the body. Wish I ha

What is a “terminology tombola”. All I can find is tombola is some kind of lottery.

Kind of a dopey question… will this work if I keep my phone in my camelback while riding? I don’t want to attach it to my handlebars. Yeah watched some videos and clearly the answer would be no. What’s the model of top-tube phone mount you

My student son put me onto Notability yesterday (I got a new ipad pro). It's pretty cool. He swears by it for all his math and economics lectures.

"Most people who don’t know piano or figure skating are well aware that they don’t know, and do not rate themselves highly at all. " I think this case (real_skill = 0, perceived_skill = 0) is maybe a trivial case, and that the bi

I was going to post this too. He's exceptionally skillful in explaining, lucidly, the small wonkish details of financial market matters that make the gem of the story. I'm also impressed by the breadth of markets that he's

I’m interested in these as both a consumer and a contributor. However I haven’t found many interesting markets. Often are just markets on elections. Additionally many seem to have very small max bet size. What markets have more interesting

Crypto is far worse. You need to normalize the amount-looted by the amount of transactions conducted. Very clearly 'traditional' finance is far safer. There's a reason financial institutions are annoying and stodgy -- they

That’s definitely true for me at least for chili peppers. In fact I think my reaction has worsened over time even after decreasing exposure to them. Such a pity—makes food taste so good.

No. There are lots of Chinese and Korean knock off Bromptons available. Our shop has noted that Brompton bottom brackets are low quality. Often poorly aligned to the frame and the threading frequently needs chased.

That's an arbitrage, then, if both sides are immediately available. Then it's just a question of how much profit can you lock-in.

Yeah, I understand that the photon hitting my eye right now was ejected from the sun 8 minutes ago. And if I could see it, a photon hitting my eye now from the big-bang was ejected 13bn years ago. But if I have some super telescope here on

How astronomers “see into the past” by looking at dim stars, and how bigger telescopes see farther back in history?

USA imported slightly more oil from Russia than it did Saudi Arabia in 2020 as an example. USA can roughly export 3000kbd oil. It already exports 2.5-3.0mn daily during any given month. It does not have massively more export capacity than

It seems to be a lame argument saying somehow high energy prices no longer affect US consumers. Nonsense. And it grossly simplifies trade flows of refined products and crude flow in and out of the USA.

I was terrified of this movie when I was a little kid. Circa 10 years old. Just seeing the trailer (on NBC?) scared me. Never watched it, even to this day. There was one other movie of this ilk. I remember in the trailer for one or the o

I would have benefitted from reading “Ego is the Enemy” and any title on mindfulness from Jon Kabat Zinn. But at that age I was probably too hot headed and insane and immature to actually read them. Sigh. So instead I learned everything th
