I'd second this opinion – weight can be lost so easily by dropping the majority of carbs. By that I mean base one's nutrition on meat / fish / eggs / vegetables / fruit, with no pasta, no bread, no sweets, no c

She was ripping on the valuations and economics of quantum computing companies the other week, and her critiques were such that they could be levelled against capitalism itself and basically any company in the market. Was an obvious and cle

Probably enjoying the act of writing, not just getting the job done. I could get through a BIC in about a week if I really tried, but the ink and the feel are pretty horrible.

Yes but at the same time the music industry exists as a capitalistic machine that forms public taste and interest through sheer force of marketing - it’s easier to have one mega artist like Taylor performing one huge show in every city to c

You're right that it is too simple, but it's an easy rule of thumb with which to think about and frame the problem. If it's illegal to kill a human being, then it's illegal. The existence of a death penalty where the sta

If murder is illegal, then it makes no difference if the state does it as punishment for committing murder. You’ve still sanctioned a murder, admittedly of a murderer. A civilised country accepts this simple logic and doesn’t sanction mur

Yeah I agree with you. It’s also that the situation in the region around Israel is so complex and long-running that there aren’t really appropriate analogies. The two countries are at a state of war that’s fairly obvious regardless of the p

In Britain, if the mobile phones of 3000 members of the non-governing Conservative Party exploded in their pockets caused by the armed forces of a different state, one could be reasonably assured you just declared open war on Britain.
