I understand the appeal of a swimming pool on a sweltering summer day but if you have to heat it...

I don't know why it's taken for granted that the face of a potential pro ball player doesn't matter at all. Obviously no one thinks a strong looking nose helps one throw the ball farther. Could be that franchises are looking

This seems like such a thoughtless, knee jerk response to the points being made. You must not think that replacing a worker with a robot reduces inequality? That /employing/ is the same as /exploiting/ iff the employee i

I feel like this is the same amount of ingenuity put into a typical techie diy project "I turned a coffee pot into a robot that presses my shirts"

The article mentions that but dismisses it with some hokey assertion that professional cyclists used to mainline their calories... does not touch on how elite athletes in other sports or decades get by.

wouldn't efficiency correlate to effort? pretty sure the "effort" is the feeling of burning calories. If an elite athlete can run for an hour and burn 2000 calories in that time, they will beat a less elite athlete who can ru

great read and great attitude, but saying "anyone could do it if they just worked as hard as me" is so banal. You're training 33 hours on a bike in a week --- most people who try that will just break down. Then you transition

If you've literally never read any business plan, how do you know one can't hold value?

if you can find a way to turn methane into something useful (ie sellable) that will probably work better than taxes, because it applies regardless of jurisdiction and because taxes can always be cheated (e.g underreport your emissions) wher

they're not identical but they're also not totally independent. There is a certain percentage of the population that is very vulnerable to both illnesses, yet they can't die twice.

hopefully it affects funding for future such research

I don't get how you're reading that there's little diversity. What I get from the bar graph is that not listeners skew male, educated, old, affluent, etc relative to the population. But I'm not sure how this even relates

it's just about the worst "game" you could imagine. Why is it simulating (poorly) outdoor cycling when it could instead invent a new form of competition a la tron or rocket league?

respiration rate is not the same as heart rate although they trend in the same direction. I say this because I've worn a heart rate strap during all sorts of exercise and kettlebells do not elevate heart rate like cardio does, even tho

uh, what? citation please. The Fed tends to hike rates when markets are otherwise doing well. That is, during bull markets.

I think the perp encrypted the file themselves before uploading to Google cloud (or wherever). The encryption was not provided by the platform.

hackers need not apply. I'm sure retailers will happily sell your transaction data to a third party aggregator, and that transaction data is more fine grained than what Visa gets to know about you (spending at Walmart vs specifically b

whatever "self publish your blog" means, but if it's sufficiently easy for non technical users to figure out, no doubt it's a platform that can be subjected to this law. If it's not an easy-to-use platform it will d

what is "this bar"? there are cycling Meccas like Davis CA and Boulder CO where infrastructure is extensive and average trip distances are short.

but fb does have a search engine? Admittedly it only searches for content on their own site, but as you note the strategy has been to make the walled garden so expansive that users would never want to leave (or be able to --- see India). Bu
