Even the successful asses I have personally met, I usually can't imagine removing the ass without removing what made them successful. It's not just a crazy artist stereotype. We can do better. Why not?

If all Musk is good for is for hype and funding, there's a dime a dozen entrepreneurs who would have done the same thing as him and be equally as successful and make himself less of an ass. I evaluated him as a person who inserted hims

He could be doing all of that without making a fool and a general ass of himself, as opposed to being consistently a master class act. Whatever accomplishment you want to make in the world, it's no excuse to be an ass.

It would be more efficient to reconfigure our urban space to be more human scale. This required less distance in walking and less dependence on cars.

Not to mention that metering and billing someone's driving would be a gargantuan incursion on a human being's freedom of movement -- something so incredibly inherent in who we are. Freedom of movement does not requires using car

That would be nice, if China stop adding coal power and even shutting down coal power plants.

It's lazy to assume that Jevon's Paradox always hold true.

Free lanes fill up in part because cars simply take a lot of space in both total volume of the vehicle and the volume needed to maneuver safely. If you only have a single driver in a normally five seated car, that's additional ineffici

Assuming you did and I understand your point, I disagree with it insofar as it applies to knowledge. Yes, JIT manufacturing of real things can be easily tripped up and it screwed us during the pandemic, but does that apply here? The author

I don't think incremental reading is about memorizing word per word of an article, but about increasing your understanding through one article at a time and then retaining it through time. All knowledge and skills depends on memory. Th

If you have read anything about logistics in the last few year, you would have realized that shifting everything to a just in time logistics is probably a bad idea in case of disruption. It's a spectrum, and it shows by analogy why you

I think this is a shallow article. First, just in time manufacturing has the noted weakness of having no slack or resilience in the system. This is part of why we experienced supply chain disruption during the pandemic. Second, it is assumi

If it's 4% of all males, makes me think it's close to 25% of males with good amounts of muscles. Of course it's skewed by basically 90% of people with massive amounts of muscles taking them. But massive muscles alone doesn&#

I agree it seems like a horror story from where we’re sitting, but at the same time, I could see how our conception of integrating brains with computers could become an outdated way of thinking. In the future uploading your mind to a compu

Significant? Are we talking 40 percent or 4 percent of gym goers? My perception of most gym goers are ordinary folks who want to get healthy, not gymbros who want to build giant muscles. Of course, this is at a single gym so this is anecdot

For example, lots of bio things can take a lifetime to have an effect. One crystal clear example of this is the buildup of AGEs in collagen and the like over time as a part of damage accumulation in the process of aging. Tons of drugs have

We shoulda leave words like Marxist utopia out of conversations, even communism and capitalism. It shortcut people's thinking. That said, welfare programs are probably more efficient if they applied more broadly to society as opposed t

It sounds like there's a job for people who knows the bird eye's view as well as the ground truth of an organization.

It's kafkaesque. This happens when part of a system cannot successfully communicate with another part of the system to resolve problems, whether that's unintentional or design.

Sure it is. Some of their innovations include steer by wire and 48 volt low voltage system. These innovations aren't entirely 'new' or had been talked by the automotive industry for years, but they never made that leap for on

People takes shortcut if they can. That is why "social proof" exists. This is workable for everyday situation, not so much in situations like a trial.

The price is nominally 67 million to launch in 2022.[1] A year ago I would've agreed with you, but Starlink's revenue is up 600% YoY. There's enough money in Starlink for SpaceX to not risk it. The problem of using a purely

Starlink has this market cornered until another company develops sufficiently reusable rockets. That's inaccurate. SpaceX developed Starlink to take advantage of their growing launch capabilities.Other companies could launch on Space

How can any company be considered a competitor to Starlink while relying on SpaceX to get into LEO? As opposed to the alternative of not using SpaceX? If they aren't using SpaceX to launch their satellites, it's their loss.

Nobody has a right to a business to exist or any particular job exist and yet nonetheless there are the rules of the game that people must abide by to make society works.

We have regulations like minimum wages and other labor regulation rules to prevent abuse. Unless you want to say that getting paid a minimum wage paternalistic?
