This is brilliant. The world has been needing something like Zapier, but not opaque and locked down. Everything Zapier does is a good idea, but also so easy and the whole model is way more powerful if it's open and extensible.

Not absurd at all and it doesn't need to be framed as a handout either. The US should have a single land tax and every American should be paid a citizen's dividend out of that. A "UBI" easily emerges from this fair and r

Right, but one interpreation of this fact is that they set the bar for compliance too high, so it's almost impossible to finish a reactor in a financially feasible way. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way for our society to overcom

I think exceedingly is the right word here. We know from lots of research that mass diet interventions don't work. The body's autonomic processes for weight equilibrium are powerful. Stephan Guyenet is a good follow but doctors on

Armed with three years of grocery shopping data, researchers found that total sugar sales are down by almost 20 percent, driven largely by falling soda purchases. This isn't the right definition of success. The first mini

The problem with studies like these is you only need to know one person who contradicts the claim to know that it's false as an absolute. And I know several. It more points to the limitations of studies like these than it does an incon

People's personal goals and preferences aren't exactly aligned with company success. It's nice when they match up, but... For example, I prefer not working to working. I think most people are like me. And, yet, work needs to

The most likely explanation for this is some combination of 1) lab animals being fed more over time because researchers themsevles have been normalized to bigger food portions, 2) incomparable data of lab animals feeding over time, and 3) f
