They exaggerated, but not by much. You can easily find brasseries in Paris with a lunch menu for 15-20 euros. The catch is that you have to eat during lunch time, they are typically not open through the day. Dinners are more of course.

Another effect is replacing gas/oil heating with electric (heat pump). Fewer risks, less maintenance, less pollution.

So weird to see this on the front page, as I was about to make it. Anyway, most of the recipes I've seen (including from Maangchi) are not with gochujang, just gochugaru, the hot pepper flakes. It's a different taste, since the pa

Yeah, this feels like the revenge of the blue collar workers. Maybe the changes won't be too dramatic, but the intelligence premium will definitely go down. Ironically, this is created by some of the most intelligent people.

I never heard this before: "Plants produce toxins to avoid being eaten, such as psoralen, which is abundant in celery. Snacking at night introduces toxins that, at that hour, our repair systems are not ready to eliminate. There is also

This got to me too. I moved from NY to Paris and the fact that the days are so short in winter doesn't make up for the fact that they are quite long in the summer. I wake up at 6 and there is no sunlight until 8 these days. Even moving

I still have a tab open with an old article [1] that seems to argue the opposite: that learning must be effortful to happen. I didn't read the book reviewed here so I don't know if there really is a conflict between the two approa

Yes, very annoying. But I suspect it's the business owners that add them. If you see stuff that's online only (shopping sites) I think it's fair to report them.

It doesn't even matter whether the critique is true and fair. Naming names like this in public is potentially very damaging and should not be done.

I commend you for going against the grain and holding onto the stock for so long. Most people sell as soon as the options vest. Anyway, I don't see much worrisome news about GOOG. It's true that they are not innovating and surpris

Everybody connects the dots differently. I personally would like to see TSMC (and ASML, and Intel) help China achieve this goal. It's not all black and white. They can help without giving away all their secrets.
