It also recommends some social policies to encourage people to follow said advice, though they seem like pretty tame recommendations to me. (To be fair I hate the "you can't buy a beer at 11:45am on a Sunday" rule where I l

Which ones? They say to regulate who can sell alcohol, raise prices/taxes, raise the drinking age, limit advertising, add prominent warnings...I guess those first few are arguably "anti-fun", but they don't seem especial

I would assume it only works if you have a single account. That's the most common situation, though. LastPass has the option to autofill and auto-submit. 1Password doesn't, but that's my guess for what's coming.

Based on https://www.future.1password.com/ I'm guessing it will be closer to LastPass's auto-login. It still uses the existing username/password form, but autofills and submits for you. So a 1- or 0-click log

Disney+ is similar to HBO Max. "Continue Watching" often takes me to the episode I just watched, and there's no way to get to the episode list from there. I usually access shows I'm in the middle of by going to my Watchl

On one hand, this is a bunch of coordination problems, but on the other, it feels like a rational port acting alone could have said "We'll unload your ship only if you let us load it back up with empties" rather than letting

Measuring simply by how well those who have it worst is a much better metric. A world where all people have it terrible is a bad world. A world where everyone has it at least okay is a much better world. There are downsides to inequality,

People can still start new mines, but the price of coal will increase due to the capital costs that incurs (and the time it takes to ramp up production). This works the same as a tax on coal, or a subsidy on its competitors: some people wil

The data you link says that unvaccinated people have 5x the risk of testing positive as vaccinated (no booster) as of October (Slightly higher for Pfizer, lower for J&J). I believe that's 80% efficacy. How do you get 10%? Note also

It took us a long time, but overall emissions in the US are down about 10% from their peak in 2005, even when you adjust for us exporting manufacturing to elsewhere. This only brings us down to ~1996 levels, but it's a good sign. Per c
