To what extent should diversity be the responsibility of companies? I would argue the responsibility is in proportion to added-discrimination, so to speak (kind of like your profit should be in proportion to your added value). So, as an ex

An article about a trailer, which links a website, which shows a commercial before allowing you to see the trailer. The user only submits things from "onairstory.com" and is a self-admitted "SEO expert".

I've worked in homeless shelters and for public health. The major mistake uninformed advocates (not all advocates) make is they think: this is a person, just like me, down on their luck. It happens because that's how we naturally

Unfortunately people like Knight investing in December was probably the best indicator of a bubble. I distinctly remember seeing my Uber driver pull up gdax in the car and I sold the very next day -- not quite at the high, but still at a

Not "a" random number generator, but rather trillions of random number generators running in parallel.

I'll do you one better. People who work in an office are actively damaging their health. No unemployment required. We know that walking around and being active all day is better even if you also ride a SoulCycle bike for 30 minutes a

Our current mental model (which is a bit more complicated than what is endorsed) is built upon evidence. The genetic mutation leading to CF was discovered, and the treatment (based on investigating this, rather than trying compounds at rand

As a physician, you're absolutely right. There is a HUGE range of problems that can be made better by proper diet and regular exercise. Although there are a few efforts here and there, nobody has figured out a reliable way of changing

Has anyone found a place where detailed arguments for bitcoin (pros and cons) are laid out? Forums seem to be meme-based (e.g. "HODL") and/or superficial.

I am not OP, but it only indicates that salary + benefits + HR / admin costs + space per person = $108K, which probably equates to a salary closer to $60K.

I was excited to read this, but didn't find any useful insights. Just the typical 1-2 childhood stories extrapolated to "success" and some superficial comments on work-life balance.

There are lawyers that actively search for businesses misbehavior in order to bring forward class action suits. In this scenario, the bigger the misbehavior (financially) the greater the incentive, independent of the magnitude of harm on th

I think that's probably true of all biking, but do you know if that's true for biking in NYC specifically? Also, if there's a 100% chance of a 1 year increase in lifespan, but a 3% chance of a 33 year loss, would you take it

The major purpose of class actions is as a deterrent for the company. If I cause $10 in harm to a 10 million people, it's not financially viable for them each to sue me, but someone should still be motivated to go after me civilly for

By nature of it being an accident, it seems hard to control whether it's a minor scrape or more serious injury. In any case, every person has their own risk tolerance -- hard to say what is objectively correct -- and subjectively it&#x

My concern is that everyone I know has had an accident, even if minor. It sounds like you have had accidents too. Although we can go slower, be more aware, etc., this suggests that the fundamental issue is structural -- if every single nurs

I would love to bike, but the major issue is that every single person I know who's biked for more than 1 year has gotten into some type of accident (around 10 people), whether car, car door, or poorly maintained road. These are all 30s

Most short-sighted members of the upper class went to college too; not clear that we have any data on if / how much a liberal education modifies selfish behavior.

Having a safety net and more homeless services certainly does not make anyone "want" to be homeless, but it does attract homeless people from areas of less support. I personally know of people who have literally been given a greyh

One of the challenges here is that "sector" is strongly predictive, but the data analyzed are historical. It's easy to know which sector one should have invested in historically -- and hard to know which sector to invest in g

I like how it's possible to go from contributing nothing to Yahoo (whose value was basically proportional to their share in Alibaba minus a small bit) to being a top contender for CEO at another company.

So an "aspiring writer" wants to feel herself as equal to one of the great organizational minds of our time, Elon Musk. And what, that she deserves half ownership of Paypal? It's not like this is Marie Curie writing this arti

Otto is a bad comparison for anyone because it was more of an intellectual trust sold to larger companies than a true startup. I agree that plenty of companies change their names though.

Why is it an interesting model to guide scientists? Should we also take the intertwining nature of the DNA helix as guidance that true love exists at the molecular level, and that future experiments should be guided by love? If that seems r

A cough may be evidence for a tuberculosis infection, but it would be foolish to take anyone who is coughing and say "hey! we should test for TB". Homeostasis is a necessary but far from sufficient test for biological life.

This article is garbage in that it provides no scientific claims, nor is the scientific community taking this claim seriously. "Exhibiting homeostasis of some sort" is not a very high bar for evidence of life, otherwise every corp
