The point is though that you have shifted your daily equilibrium, and it takes zero thought to maintain that. Choosing to eat 60 calories less a day is a choice , which takes mental effort. In contrast, once you have that 10 pounds of mu

Well, obviously there are more painstaking and accurate ways of determining whether a person is a narcissist. No doubt this is hard work. Sit down, talk with them, ask their employees, etc. Do the really hard work for a subset, check that

Erm, because the first thing a real scientist would do would be to test the narcissism metric and check that it does, you know, actually correlate with narcissism? You can't just invent metrics and hope that they work. > It's

I'm not a North American, but a few thoughts: - I see that the defense can now score two points by intercepting a two-point play and returning it. Doesn't this lower the utility of the two-point play as used in the article? Or h

Besides, you're reasoning about this on a faulty premise. This is a common misconception that people outside the industry have regarding HFT. Let me assure you, often the decision making is trivial, the answer to the question of what

This annoys me too. It's not a "head transplant". You can't get a new head. You are your head. You're getting a new body is what's happening.

As you rightly realise, we can't have a situation where all money is blindly invested in passive index trackers, since everyone will be following the herd and no one will be leading it. If active managers are under-performing, then at

Probably the fact that no positive feedbacks or 'tipping points' happened during the Holocene Climate Optimum, so it's fairly easy to figure out that this is your usual alarmist nonsense.
