One does not follow from the other. Your explanation would only make sense if the only two choices are keep cash or buy US debt. Of course their holdings have to do with their belief in US debt, those dollars could be spent on many things.

How does your device work for people who have taken edibles vs smoking? I am not a chemist nor biologist, but ethanol escapes through mucus membranes and afaik, thc does not. So, I am curious what mechanism has thc in the breath while peopl

Until recently I thought part of WeWork’s allure was they were a real estate play underneath the office value add. Incredible to me this isn’t the case and they have this type of status. Especially with the recent “exposé” showing the CEO

That essay sent me down the functional language paradigm. I never did a lot of lisp but have done a lot of Haskell since. I don’t get to do near as much these days, but the lessons I’ve learned have made me a better developer for sure. Typ

Not really. Problems arise when you have many people behind the same IP. You can hand-wave this problem away for family units behind a router, but you'll soon find out there are entire institutions (schools, office buildings with lot

I wonder if we are going to reach a sort of singularity with regard to encroachment on privacy in western countries where we both take it for granted that privacy is a right, and live in societies where actual privacy is clearly trending

Differentiating between natural and sexual selection feels pretty hand wavy to me (also not a biologist.) Your hot-guy rockstar example perfectly illustrates how sexual selection is natural selection. If something is super attractive but

Probably because in the USA higher education is an objectively bad move for most of the people that undertake it. Combine that with the fact that they’ve been told forever it’s a good/necessary thing and you can see bitterness start to

I think the lack of damage from this shows a high degree of preparation. This same earthquake 50 years ago would have likely been much worse.

Part of this phenomenon is likely that thc heavy strains have been selected for over time (at the expense of cbd) because people valued the “potency” of the flower. Another major aspect is that weed has been illegal for most of its modern u

Safari on iOS allows limited content blocking. It doesn’t allow ad blocking anywhere else, which is most of the platform. And, I was referring to the future and trends rather than the current situation. System wide ad blocking used to be p

Seems obvious without thought to me that it’s mostly moot. Very few people will be running machines like we have for the last 30-40 years, most will be on Android/iOS where ad blocking will be minimal. Savvy users will continue to blo

Wait a second. IQ is a weighted average. IQs “raising” in developing countries due to more modern problems to solve, would also manifest itself as “dropping” IQs in developed countries. This does not mean people are getting dumber, it jus
