Yes there's absolutely a sweet spot. The ratio of pay to stress was best like 5 years into my career. I'd absolutely go back to that level of pay and responsibility if I could. The problem is if that's your sweet spot, people

Who benefits from lack of inventory vs conversion condos? I can't think of anyone but residential REITs and home builders. The average SFH owner in some neighborhood doesn't see new condos downtown as a threat. But every other ves

Oh you meant lots of money for the lawyers, not the people whose food was adulterated, because in every class action I've ever seem, the payout amounts per person are never enough to change anyone's life. But the lawyer taking 1&#

That's a difference in kind, not degree. People find watching movies interesting, not making them. They're two completely different experiences.

I don't see how the final sentence follows, that hyper logical low emotional response people would not be tempted to explore drug use. If you're going to be hyper logical about it, there are some drugs that give you rewards that o

It's not whataboutism to point out that in the USA, the default mode of life is bad for your health. I dont mean that in the "everything causes cancer" big unknown sense. I mean that in quantifiable sense that allows you to w

"What are you excessively curious about — curious to a degree that would bore most other people? That's what you're looking for." I'm trying to make sense of this question. Usually people think about boredom as a ma

As long as you do a land acknowledgement first, I agree this policy would indeed be optimal.

It's not that simple. You have to look at net cost and benefit. There are plenty of stimulant free paths in life that also cause cardiovascular damage, lack of sleep and 50 other problems. The issue with living in a society where money

"These people tend to have a very low incidence of drug use because they are less capable of feeling thrills and fears." Are you talking about dark triad style psychopaths? This is the only personality type I've ever known to

I used to think the same and then read about a study that lab tested a bunch of brands. The most expensive ones were more likely to be adulterated. It makes sense in a way. They command the highest margin, ie, highest reward for adulteratio

What exactly are you referring to about suing for a lot of money if an adulterant is found? Is there a specific law that specifies damages? Because if not, it probably falls into the same civil framework as everything else where the amount

It would be expensive but so would a banking and general financial crisis caused by empty office buildings and CMBS turning into toilet paper. The government will pay for it either way and the currency will be inflated either way. God forbi

BTC has been around since 2008. Today in 2023 BTC is like $27k. Does the longevity, ubiquity, price and liquidity of BTC fit the pattern of a useless get rich quick scheme? Has any such scheme existed this long, despite so much scrutiny and

Oh look, some smart people came up with a model whose output disagrees with other smart people's models, and because such models and their modelers are never rigorously tested for predictive ability relative to each other in a way that

No that is the children's version. CPI cannot go down without housing going down. Housing will not go down unless we have a massive rise in foreclosures. It's not about consumers reaching the point where they cannot consume. It&#x

If you believe this it implies you have gone full malthusian, because the innovation engine that made Google possible could also disappear Google, but without that engine we are all screwed.

If EU rules are too draconian, neither OpenAI nor their competitors has anything to gain from the EU. The only bluff to call would be if OpenAI were pretending they're too draconian when they're really not. I'll believe that

You're right that it's a logical conclusion given what's actually happening, but your examples aren't the reasons why people are starting to realize this. Eg, a mystery entity blew up the nord stream 2 pipeline and cause

Why would you assume the market efficiently adjusts for things like fines? Have you seen the stock market lately? There is at best a loose correlation between business reality and stock prices. Why would there be a 1 to 1 relationship betwe

What would happen with 100m that wouldn't happen with 10m? Seems like all of the same processes, traps and threats would exist for both, or at least 90% overlap.
