I'm not really going to try to resolve the definition except to say that no part of New York is in Ohio.

That's part of the Ohio & Erie Canal[1], not the same canal as the Erie Canal[2] in the OP, that runs through upstate New York. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_and_Erie_Canal [2] https://en.w

Well, the people who don't have kids won't pass their values on to their kids. Much of the value system of the liberal west and the westernized world (i.e. what we call the modern world these days) is, if not explicitly anti-natal

I'm not sure what the point of cramming 54 people into the cross-sectional area is as a demonstration. After all, if you give each person one square meter, you could fit the entire population of the earth into the state of Connecticut

From the article: As far as I can tell, the justification for the quote is probably in Table 1, col. 1. Baseline mortality rate (white newborn + white dr) is 290 (per 100k). Black newborn is +604 above that giving 894/100k. Then -494

That totally describes Herb Simon, for sure.

I agree with the thesis of this article but I actually think the point would be better made if we switch from talking about optimizing to talking about satisficing [1]. Simply put, satisficing is searching for a solution that meets a par

Isn't this just a mixup in terminology and the meaning of "likelihood"? It seems from the article that odds of survival approximately double in the cited data. EDIT: I run into this same mixup in other contexts. Gompertz&

Subsidizing childcare is also "more money", but only for some workers. If the others don't notice or don't care that they're getting paid less for the same work that's great for the company. I am in favor of f

"Bringmeham" for Birmingham is proof that this is a joke and not some heinous error, right?

Another LIRP down the tubes? Something like Calm Company Fund would presumably offer lower risk and lower returns (per company) than a typical VC fund targeting high-risk high-growth. But with the advent of high interest rates, the fund i

Too late now to edit my original comment but this is what I missed: you can tap two phones together to transfer p2p. I.e. not iMessage mediated. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/11/tap-to-cash-ios-18-pay-..

Tragic harm can take many forms. I think one likely tragic harm is the mundane one: our grandchildren live in a version of the spaceship from WALL-E, except it is their minds that are floating around in chaises longues drinking slurpees a

Darn. From the title, I was hoping this article would be about what is lost when you lean too far into “Yes, and…” culture and can never actually say anything negative about anything.

Nice. I've landed on a very similar regime for myself that I've been calling Near-zero Inbox. Originally it was Inbox-Zero-by-EOW, with the goal of having my inbox empty by the end of the workday on Friday, I always end up with

Okay, here is the summary I got. Not very enlightening.... This summer, Colleen Hoover’s literary sensation takes a new form: a film adaptation of her novel “It Ends with Us”, starring Blake Lively, is set to hit theaters on August 9. The

The only way I can see this being a valid contract is if the equity grant that they get to keep is a new grant offered the time of signing the exit contract. Any vested equity given as compensation for work could not then be offered agai

We humans really live for one another, and without other people and especially love, why bother? Reading the essay I couldn't help but think that there was something missing from the author's calculations, and this quote really

Was there actually a barrier at exascale? I mean, was this like the sound barrier in flight where there is some discontinuity that requires some qualitatively different approaches? Or is the headline just a fancy way of saying, "look

I think a corollary to the problem of seeking perfection is the notion that there is always a global optimum and that we must be seeking it: a kind of fallacy of the One True Way™. Implicit belief in One True Way™ shows up in many places,

As someone well into middle age, I hoped that there would be more insight in this article than there is. The author makes some assertions that there are unrecoverable mistakes one can make, but doesn't really support those assertions i

I hate the phrase "hard work". It's so misleading. When most successful people say that "hard work" is an ingredient in success, they really a combination of traits such as diligence, conscientiousness, and perseve

The trick is to start your own company. So it's not a trick for avoiding work, because if you start your own company you'll work harder than you would if you had an ordinary job. But you will avoid many of the annoying things tha

I was sure that they’d return to a toilet in every car by the end, and the moral of the story would be about optimizing for the wrong thing.
