It really depends on a lot of other inputs. The word sustainable implies planning over centuries or longer, and we just don't know what the population will look like over time, or what their dietary preferences will be. These things

The essential issue here is that for typical land you can produce more food with plants than you can with animals. Animals act as an extra 'processing' step for food production. Imagine the food chain for eating a plant vs eatin

Population-level data, when combined with aspartame consumption, is enough to give us an approximate upper limit on how toxic aspartame is. The largest issue with estimating the upper level of toxicity would be if another unaccounted for p

This seems to fall into a category of pitches where someone knows a secret that will upend the oil industry. The engine that runs on water instead of gasoline is probably the most famous and blatantly grift version of this pitch. During t

Is there a biological process that explains how high altitude impacts suicide rates, or are there social variables that aren't controlled for. This paper gets a lot of scrutiny, but it's been out for over a decade and hasn't

Colder, sure. If by gray/gloomier you mean cloud cover then I don't think so. Regardless, high altitude cities like Denver, Salt Lake City, Reno or Boise are neither particularly cold or cloudy when compared to other US cities.

Apple's vertical integration really ends at the cloud. There's iCloud, but that's a small offering. Microsoft has Azure, which extends their vertical integration in a direction Apple doesn't even try for.

It feels plausible that within the next few years LLMs will be powering NPCs/enemies in AAA video games. On a technical side, I think we will be gated by what a PS5/Xbox Series X can process locally for this generation. On the ga

If you were to pick a dozen likely stops on this train, you'll likely end up with a name collision. Vancouver, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia. It's fun to think about how they would handle this. Would they use the f

If the train have an average speed of >200mph it's likely to be a <55minute ride. It's not uncommon for people to have similar timed Amtrak rides in the North East as part of their commute. You can use a laptop to work on

This number is plausible to reach on one day while stopping for charges. My median driving is very short (<30km/week), but I'll make one way drives of 1800km about 6 times a year. I did lots of research about the long range ca

1. Methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas, so we should be limiting our emissions. 2. Methane lingers for decades. Short in planetary timelines. Long in human timelines.

I wish more companies screened for writing competency. The better the writer, the smaller the 1000 word hurdle is. With async & remote work this skill is as important as ever.

She also defrauded all publications she submitted fabricated science to. She defrauded all readers of her studies, and everyone that wrote about her studies. Imagine if actual public policy was made on behalf of her science.

This is such an exaggerated claim. * Plenty of studies inherently cannot survive 20 years. Send out a survey and ask people "on a scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you". These results will not match the results in 21 years simply b
