That is a possible explanation, but it does not explain why the effect is so pronounced in younger people and goes away with age. The truth is we just do not know how the popular antidepressants work to begin with and we sure as well don&#x

I don't think car manufacturers have cause to complain. If they were feeding the government incorrect data, then they do not really have moral grounds to complain when the government officials made incorrect decisions based on that dat

There have been many articles on rising suicide rates especially among kids and young adults, but they tend to not mention a very important possible factor. And that is antidepressants. It is well known that antidepressants increase the ris

Today I learned that "effing" is actually considered a word nowadays.

Wow, you seem to have some very detailed knowledge of plastic gears. It is almost if you copied and pasted text straight from the article.

There is a very underrated old movie called Roger Dodger, where the main character is an advertising executive. He said something to the effect that his job was to convince people that their lives were shit. Only after you convince them tha

That maybe real but is it real and fresh? If it is mixed from the freeze dried stuff it will lose a lot of its flavor. As the article says, wasabi loses its taste quickly.

I had fresh real wasabi at a new york restaurant. To prove it was real, they would grate it right of the root over your plate, the way they do with expensive truffles. It was indeed very good. And yes it does hit your nose first.

This obsession with index funds is getting a little out of hand. Sure for many people buying an index might be a good idea. I myself recommend that many people buy an S&P 500 index. But to criticize all active managers is a little wrong

Wow, thanks! This is really helpful, thanks for taking the time to decipher this.

Bad idea. We have plenty of much cheaper sources of green energy. And lets face it nuclear is far from green. Offshore wind energy is so successful that it is now negatively affecting solar as well as nuclear and fossil fuels. Furthermore,

"Or is this a standard "prohibition creates criminal opportunity" issue?" This is exactly it. And it is not something that should be dismissed, it has pretty much been proven correct. In the US, before state run lotterie

That is not true. In Bulgaria there were generally full shelves in the grocery stores during socialism. There were some hard to get things like coca kola that caused lines but otherwise all basic foodstuffs were easy to get and quite afford

Ok then give me an example. In the entire world there are places with weak governments and with laissez faire governments. Is there any place where I can buy a house with five different independent water delivery and sewage removal systems

Do you even know what a natural monopoly is? Have you ever seen anywhere in the world where the business of a natural monopoly is actually not a monopoly? Is there anywhere in the world where a can buy a house and can have 5 different compa

It is pretty fair I think to blame it solely on him. Yes, they started as defensive wars, and yes he did a great job defending the republic. But at some point they turned into offensive wars. One can argue at what point exactly defense turn

In all the major cities I know of (and this includes san francisco and los angeles), if there is rent control it is set for buildings older than a fixed date (usually somewhere about 1979). So no, newer buildings will not become covered by

This is a very insightful article. Every discussion about high prices in cities usually ends into a big argument about rent control, but, in my opinion this is rarely the real issue. Rent control laws in the US are rather weak, and the perc

by hristov 8y ago
This is not how rent control works in any city in the US that I know of. Everywhere I know of rent control only applies to significantly older buildings. Which means that new buildings can charge much higher prices, which means that rent co

The more I learn about modern history and current politics the more I realize that modern society is greatly harmed by the worshipful study of past warmongering despots. A lot of the seemingly irrational and idiotic decisions taken by moder

I think most people do realize that. And it scares them. This is certainly the case for me. Oh and before you call me ignorant, I am in fact quite knowledgeable on the subject.

Obviously, if there is higher tax rate on higher incomes this will reduce inequality even if the net amount of taxes collected stays the same.

You are right that the article did not mention a lot of important factors in bringing down Brenton Woods. The most important being the deficit spending of the US due to the vietnam war and the resulting inflationary pressure on the dollar.

I am not sure your statement about the marginal cost is correct. This is a closely guided secret among studios and exhibitors, but the little anecdotal information that leaks out indicates that for well publicized major releases the studios
