What I don't get about Neumanns new project is it actually solving a problem? As I understand, the problem with carbon offsets is not that you can't track them, it's that you can verify that X company actually planted a tree

I tell myself those people are in debt mostly for self preservation. My household income is great, but my wife drives a 2012 minivan and I drive a 2007 station wagon. I could not imagine spending $1000 or more a month on a new vehicle.

We are now up to ~4.5% for fixed interest mortgages and ~2.5% for variable rate mortgage. But in the depths of the pandemic, the rates went near 0.

They other option is to not worry about those things. Start with a free product and see if people will even use that. Then worry about payment and subscriptions once you validate that people will use it.

When I lived in an apartment building, a guy in the next building decided he wanted to learn to play the saxophone and practiced on his balcony everyday. I hate the advice "just start playing" :)

My nest once asked if I wanted it to "learn" my habits and adjust accordingly. I clicked Ok thinking it would create a nice schedule. Instead it set temperatures to 14C at random times and be all over the map with when to heat the

I was acutely involved in similar work a while ago (I was a donor for many C diff, IBS, Crohns patients and autism patients). The science/theory may have changed, but the potential link between gut microbiome and autism for awhile was

But which of those things has changed over the past 30-40 years? All things being equal, it seems like social media has amplified the problems. Kids were always bullied, but they could escape it when they went home or left school. Now it fo

The argument I heard elsewhere is that the draft was circulated a few months ago and therefore if they were against the decision, they likely would have leaked it then. However, that argument collapses when you consider that it circulated i

She should apply for tele medicine. I knew a few nurses that took this on during the pandemic and were making about $50-60/hr from home. I suspect there are fewer opportunities like this now, but it's worth a shot.

The last auction for Listerine royalties ended with a winning bid of $561,000 on $32,040 revenue over past 12 months... or 17.5 year pay back!
