Commodification is the opposite of profit. Every businessperson looking to make more money tries to get OUT of the commodity business.

It isn’t always a modern affliction. Some food plants just do this, pulling heavy metals from the soil. You’ve heard of arsenic in brown rice.

You accumulate when you can’t eliminate fast enough. Some sources indicate you can safely eliminate up to ~30mcg of cadmium per day. Many of these bars appear to have 10-12mcg. So, if you ate one bar daily, you would never accumulate. Four

It isn’t really radical policy, when you consider public school funding works the same way. A better term than subsidy might help. For example, we don’t describe property taxes that go to your school district as an “education subsidy”. It’s

That is pretty much the original argument for the 10x programmer, a lot of 1.1x factors compounding.

Did you do anything to directly address the autoimmune problems etc, or simply managed your chronic conditions and everything eventually cleared up?

Fair point, I’ve focused on “maybe you’re short, but you can still be fit, confident, great partner, etc” . However, unrealistic expectations and dating “market structure” that lets the top 10% of guys dominate the whole field can signific

I like to stew on this a lot. The root of it all might be economic and social opportunity. If you can succeed, you can attract good partners. If you are secure, you can be a better parent. If you have good parents, you will have more opport

Running uphill is also an incredibly high fitness demand. If you’re a 10:30 pace on flat ground, you aren’t running up a trail.

That would not be out of place in a Monty Python sketch. Forums full of people endlessly debating the latest gadgets and techniques for not getting faster.

That’s exactly the thing to me, the fastest runners always seem to be feeling the best. I see plenty of people who sign up for ultras and basically struggle through it by willingness to suffer instead of fitness; I see no value in that. I’d

I agree, the funding model would have to be different. I think there may actually some schools that already do it, but you don’t hear about them much because the research-funded model ultimately drives prestige. A school that just provides

That's simply not true. It may not be happening to your friends & family, but it happens frequently. One high profile flash point is oil drilling & facilities, which in Colorado can be built as close to your house as 500 feet.

There's no reason why anybody should have a stake in land they don't own Except that defies market value in practice. Evaluated in a bubble, every quarter acre of dirt is generally no more or less valuable than any other quarter

What do you think the threshold where you cross from “hard and fun” to “definitely overwork, you’ll hurt yourself” is? 50 hours a week? (10 hour days) Maybe 55?

A semi truck is a very efficient way to move a lot of packages across the country very quickly. It is a terribly inefficient way to move a single envelope. Deeper speculation, larger out of order window, more accurate branch prediction, lar

Your goal in endurance conditions is to maximize the aerobic pathway, which means maximizing the number of active mitochondria. Recruiting more total mitochondria from more total muscle fiber will give you greater aerobic power output.

It also comes to mind that it is relatively uncommon in the human experience for things to just continuously get worse before they get worse. Most people have experienced things eventually getting better, teaching them perseverance and fait

If a mask set is 50 million and you only need ten chips, these guys would only need to come in under 5 million per chip to win on cost.

Some past discussion suggested there was an opportunity for very low volume production at much lower cost because the method doesn't use masks.

Literally anything latency sensitive is appropriate for edge. Off-device voice recognition is a miserable experience anytime you have less than a perfect connection. Imagine clicking an object in photoshop, using AI to determine the edges…

The only thing I think I know is not to blindly trust powerful voices advocating for a return to traditional values; they aren’t always acting in the best interests of the group. I favor the dam removal and I hope the fish recover. But I st

Tribesmen are also U.S. citizens, which means the federal government has as much responsibility for their welfare as yours. Which makes it a question worth thinking about. What is best for their welfare? I certainly don't know, but it

It's still got all the noise and shadows frame-to-frame. It wouldn't be historically accurate, but it strikes me that an ML algo could probably smooth the noise and shadows, colorize, and even add frames into a more immersive vide

1) EV’s are more efficient. It’s already more efficient to burn the gasoline in a power plant to power your EV. Yes, transmission has losses, but gas cars are an atrocious 15-20% efficient. (Not that we should do this) 2) even if EVs don’

Your comment might be more insightful if you clarified why. Because they didn’t come fast enough? Or because you were hoping to politicize the climate crisis as an opportunity to kill the automobile?
