The primary issue, as I understand it, is front groups. Like some big industry will put up a 501c4 front group called something generic like "Cool People of America" and spend $1B of secret money to accuse their opponent of eating

In the coldest days of NYC winters my Nexus 6p would reboot if I tried to use the camera. In cold conditions lithium batteries have difficulty keeping voltage steady when there's a sudden amperage spike from turning on the camera hardw

Doesn't seem fair to expect self driving vehicles to perform a task that humans can't. It's easy to impersonate a cop and interfere with traffic, and human drivers would be tricked too.

Maybe I'm too optimistic about self driving but it seems that a fail-safe default of "upon encountering an active emergency situation, stop at a reasonable distance away" is good enough and better than what a significant mino

I get the sense that the vast majority of professional investors are just being swept around by the tides of the market. Over the past 70 years in the United States, that has generally been upward. Until they get dashed against the rocks, b

Aren't bison relatively migratory animals? Western notions of private property and land are fundamentally incompatible with 1000kg animals that auction for $1000 and roam 1000km away throughout the season. To get the ecological benefit

But the Southwest pilot's union is accusing the former CEO, Gary Kelly, of running the company at full speed into operational suicide. I don't see that as picking the right CEO for the moment, even if the stock price did well.

Car rentals are a total consumer disaster and have always been this way. It keeps being like this because generally you end up with a car and that's all people need. Special shout out to Sixt that promised me a volvo xc90 over the ph

The US Forest Service, CalFire, National Park Service, aren't doing better forest management because Trump talked about raking the forests? That's a pretty reductive take. It's because of the immense manpower cost that they d

Employees should be responsible and have a duty to their employer. But it's important to decide if enforcement is appropriate and helpful. It hurts employee morale to be distrusted like this. If the secrets being guarded are life or de

I also do not value animal lives as much as human lives. But there is an important assumption built into the argument that it is ok to eat this many animals: that it is possible to raise and slaughter this number of animals without deleteri

It's like questioning the existence of 10x NBA players or 10x chess players. The top super GMs are basically 10x better than most other GMs, who are themselves 10x better than most IMs. It seems strange that programming would be one of

Yes, fatty acids are bound up in TriAcylGlycerol (TAG). Exercise triggers the breakdown of TAG in fat reserves, sending fatty acids into the blood. These fatty acids go through a pretty complicated process to be delivered into a muscle cell

Calories in / calories out is not an interesting question. If you present a healthy person with 4000 calories of cake, they don't eat it. They may have some cake, but not all of it. Oftentimes, they simply can't eat it all wi

It depends on the bicycle. Some of them, at the right assistance level, the rider still pedals enough to be in light cardio range, which provides huge health benefits. Other ebikes, not so much.
