I was going to ask if anyone knew how they found mice for these studies. Do they choose mice they have on hand that naturally have had heart attacks? Would those mice be involved in other studies too? But I ended up googling it and sort of

If you’re interested in learning about how they choose locations, Freakinomics did a good episode where they cover just that. In short, they look for inexpensive locations that are rising in value, with demographics that have high education

Maids and cloth-folding services are great, but a lot of people who have a whole lot of money but no time are working 60-80 hours a week (many work even more of course.) But you’re giving up more than money if you quit and take a 40 hour a

Before I clicked I thought “man, a single config.nix for his whole system? this is going to be big…” But I’ve continually been surprised how little configuration you actually need to do in nixos. I’ve been planning on configuring Home assis

I had a girlfriend in high school/college for four years; I’ve been with my wife for over 15. Looking back on my high school relationship I can say I was in love, if I know anything about love from my marriage. The same feelings of int

I looked up Uber Eats Pass; it’s not an all you can eat subscription. It waives delivery fees and gives a percentage discount to orders. It’s more like a loyalty program you pay for, like Prime.

“Don’t be afraid to do nothing.” The author doesn’t mention that his article is the latest in a long line of “bubble’s about to pop” articles that have been steadily written since around 2014. Sure the stock market is in a bubble. But I wou

Well yes the author quipped about Minecraft, but I can’t be alone in that my job as a PM consists of a lot of email and word processing, tasks that we’re solves decades ago. But somehow Outlook demands millennia worth of 7090’s processing p

I thought that was what “closing the gap” was. In fact, in the podcast “Nice White Parents”, they’re explicit about that. It about preventing advanced classes and tutors so the achieving kids can commingle with the struggling kids.

Amex pays me over a thousand dollars a year to use my credit card (which it takes from the merchants as fees.) I kinda feel bad about that, but I know those fees are built into the price and if I used cash or debit I’d still be paying the s

It’s not just repairability. It’s that everyone in this thread says “Apple gave us hdmi! They got rid of the touch bar!” Maybe this falls under “upgradability” but the idea of Framework is that the user decides what to include. Like with FO

So what exactly is the value of the Class A stocks beyond speculation? In the olden days it was dividends, but it seems most stocks now don’t issue dividends. Then I thought well, it’s the value of selling to a hostile takeover or, when the
