They have higher complexity, but also more redundancy. Likely neither of the powertrains experiences the same rate of wear and tear as either would experience on ther own.

The last time I bought a house I paid about $600 for a pre-purchase inspection and the inspector basically prepared such a binder for me. A few hundred pages of photos and suggested fixes for not only all the defects she found, but also sug

You could get a forensic extractor like law enforcement uses and make everyone plug their phone into it before they leave.

My children visit their friend's houses where I am sure there is beer in the fridge, guns (hopefully) in the gun safe, dangerous cleaning solvents in the garage, and perhaps other things I'm not even aware of. It is not insane to

Bicycles are like 98% in terms of distance/effort so even when you factor in the manufacture/materials it seems like it's pretty hard to improve on. When you account for calorie transport it's possible the e-bike comes o

I heard an interview with him where he said that before he even started writing the book he was receiving legal threats from Dalio's lawyers and is currently embroiled in a lawsuit, so I could see there being some animosity there.

From my understanding a lot of stores these days do notice the problem but just silently update a database entry somewhere until you've serially stolen $500 worth of merchandise (or whatever the local threshold is to make legal pursuit

I've seen this implemented at several places. Usually it takes the form of a long serpentine line stretching through a bunch of racks of impulse buys with a "wait here for next available cashier" sign at the front and a long

Interesting, but this seems like a low-quality source. The article implies that 47.5 + 5 = 100 and that one's wife's sister's wife could be one's brother-in-law. Odd.

Do the cameras ticket you for rolling right on red? Because I've never heard of it and I see people doing this all the time. I've definitely seen it happen in the presence of cops who did nothing.

No, you've misunderstood my point. If you enforce the laws then people are more incentivized to follow them, and in this case more people following the law would likely reduce the number of car-pedestrian collisions. Nobody really wan

There's no competition here, the pedestrian has the right of way. Just start actually enforcing it. Use those red light cameras and send a ticket to anyone who cuts off a pedestrian or fails to come to a complete stop before turning.

There are risks in physical retail far beyond managing the shoplifting problem as well. In fact, theft of all sorts is only a small portion of the risk-pie here.

Thanks, I will read the book, and I have looked at a lot of evidence. However, keep in mind that books are written by people and people make mistakes. There is nothing wrong with using your brain to reason from first principles. Sure if we

It is true that housing is too expensive and this is a primary cause of homelessness, but I can't accept the logic that just "building more housing" is the solution here. Sure, adding a bunch of empty houses to an area will c

There are huge risks to operating any sort of physical retail establishment, well beyond managing the change in the tills. This doesn't mean the world would be better served if all retail happened online. The risks are worth the reward

I buy stuff without cash all the time, but if I find myself in an establishment that does not accept cash I buy nothing at all, and usually loudly remark that it sucks that I can't use cash there while I am leaving.

It's probably bad that I noticed this just due to a large percentage of my regular online-habits suddenly breaking. I liked the old internet where websites just broke one at a time.

You're not a ninja, people just have better things to do than call you out on your bullshit. I also walk past security guards all the time, and it's because I have places to go.
