My interpretation of that line is that: Whether you encounter triumph or disaster is too often determined by factors outside your control. There will be times in your life when you try your hardest but still fail. And, other times, you w

I think part of the problem is that Omicron is too new to really quantify risks for the vaccinated but unboosted population. That said, what we do know is that the side-effect risks associated with getting boosted are extremely low. So, I w

To save others time, here is the "subgroup analysis": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0/tables/4 For men under 40 who got vaccinated one time, the rate of myocarditis increased from

Can you provide the "subgroup analysis" here instead of making all of us individually go read the paper? Thank you.

That site is incomplete. When I search for my zipcode, it doesn't return a CVS that I know for a fact is offering boosters every day.

Is there really nobody attempting to be the single source of truth on where you can get vaccinated? I had the exact same experience as you, but figured I just didn't know where to look. The earliest appointments on my local government

Agreed that it's unclear how future intelligence will be used. My only claim is that future generations will possess far greater intelligence than current generations.

Well, there's no reason to believe attractiveness and intelligence are mutually exclusive. Are you saying parents would choose to forego intelligent traits in their children when all else is equal?

This prophecy is flat out wrong because it ignores the future impact of genetic engineering. The rise of genetic engineering is going to allow humans to solely give birth to geniuses. This will more than counteract this idiocracy effect.

Has anyone considered that this is simply a viral stunt created by the gossip website (which I'd rather not name) in order to promote itself? Even if the commentary isn't fake, it's just one engineer within a huge organizatio

I wonder how the original founders of Reddit feel about selling out so early. They sold to Conde Naste for $20m. Now, it's worth 1000x more. I'm sure there are ways to rationalize it as a good decision -- i.e. $10m is a life ch

~25% of MBA grads go into consulting. Makes sense that periods of rapid change in markets drive business to consulting groups (which increases hiring requirements and salaries). E.g. my business revenues fell off a cliff. Pls help fix. Or

Key paragraph below. My question is what the baseline infection rate is for unvaccinated people. If it's much higher than 3.3 per 1,000 then there's less of a case for getting a booster. > Among individuals 60 years or older

Few people agree with you on this? I doubt it. Most people would agree — they just allow countervailing values drive their actions.

If you value intelligence, in and of itself, you’re going to have a crisis when your brain inevitably decays with age. A more resilient, but similar, value is: doing the most with the intelligence you’re gifted.

Outcomes like this happen when you don't have a strong BATNA. Maybe I'm being naive, but I'd rather spend my time securing a solid BATNA instead of learning how to become a skillful negotiator. After all, I'm never go
