A 0.060 standard deviation improvement is super small. If the average person rates their happiness/anxiety/depression score at, say, 50 out of 100, and the standard deviation (how spread out people’s scores are) is around 10 point

Earth gets over 170,000 terawatts of solar energy every day—10,000 times more than humanity uses. Losing just a fraction of our cloud cover means a massive, invisible throttle is coming off the climate system. If this trend holds, we’re not

You're right that "progressive" technically refers to how tax burdens increase with income, and by that measure, the U.S. looks progressive because high earners pay a large share. But that doesn’t mean the system is actually

No. The U.S. tax system is less progressive than those in many other industrialized nations. European countries like Denmark and France have higher top marginal tax rates (above 50%), while the U.S. top federal rate is significantly lower.

A progressive wealth tax starting at 2% on net worth from $50 million to $250 million and increasing to 8% for wealth over $10 billion is projected to raise $4.35 trillion over 10 years. Seems like a great start to me. Alas, I'll never

Ah yes, nothing screams “free speech hero” like a guy who tried to censor the press, punish critics, and begged Twitter to silence his enemies.

This is exactly the kind of quiet financial engineering that changes the game for average savers—without their input. Most people already don’t understand how their 401(k) works, and now we’re going to default them into opaque, illiquid pri

1.5mg is literally twice the recommended limit. I don't really understand the logic in saying 2x overdosed is negligible. If you consistently eat 2x your daily calories you'll see the results fast. If you drink twice what you can

Afaik these findings primarily involve populations exposed to fluoride levels above 1.5 mg/L, which is higher than the 0.7 mg/L recommended for U.S. water supplies. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that fluoride at recom

It’s heartbreaking, but not surprising. When you’re dealing with limited resources, constant stress, and often living in areas where healthy options are harder to access or more expensive, sugary drinks can feel like an affordable comfort.

Yeah it is more profitable but revenues are way down. In 2021, the last full year before Musk's acquisition, Twitter generated $5.08 billion in revenue. Under Musk's ownership, X's revenue has declined significantly. In 2024,

To claim that "we are Neanderthals" is wrong because while modern humans and Neanderthals share a common ancestor and interbred, Neanderthals were a distinct species that went extinct. Genetic contributions from Neanderthals to mo

Saying the statute of limitations had expired ignores New York’s well-established tolling rule, which pauses the clock when a defendant is out of state—something courts upheld in this case and hundreds of others. The idea that prosecutions

That's a mischaracterization of the case. In New York v. Trump, the charge was falsifying business records in furtherance of another crime, which is what elevated it to a felony. That isn’t a novel interpretation—New York law has long

If your instances are created by Terraform itself, sure, you can use for_each with a data source to define DNS records dynamically. But if the instances are created dynamically outside of Terraform—such as through an auto-scaling group—then

I don’t doubt that you’ve made Terraform work for your needs. The point isn't that Terraform can't be used for dynamic infrastructure—it's that doing so requires workarounds like pre-split state files, sequential applies, or
