So, aren't you reinforcing his point, that the court is not a reliable place to make law? Today's decision is exactly that: the court acknowledging that its prior decision was an overstep in its power.

Nah. Even assuming it's true, I'd still be motivated by the mystery of who wrote it and why he gave it to me.

Sugar is both serotonergic and dopaminergic, IIRC. Not as fast and intensely as alcohol, but it's pretty good.

Security against adversity, delayed gratification for better future reward, leaving a legacy or your kids, or philanthropy... there are lots of reasons not to live by our animal instincts of the bare minimum of how much work is enough for &

It's not how hard they work - it's the risk-adjusted decisions they're willing to take.

I hate that term "10x", because it assumes there is a known quantifiable metric to find these people. (A skepticism appreciated in this article, though I don't know that it really comes to a clear conclusion either on the &qu

If it didn't matter how you raised your kids, then we wouldn't see reliable pathologies, but we do: abusers and emotionally dysfunctional adults strongly correlate with certain parenting styles.

Growth really means productivity. That doesn't mean simply "more": it means "more with less".

Eh... I've worked with remote teams and found that you largely get what you pay for. Even if the devs technical chops were good, that language/cultural/distance barrier meant a lot of misunderstandings, and time spent breakin

I don't know why companies court these kinds of social issues talks. The topic is incredibly interesting, don't get me wrong, but not even close to Google's line of business that it would serve professional development goals

It's hit or miss, but usually just because the stuff I don't like their is not my taste, not that it is poor quality. Some of their products I think are really great, both in quality and bargain. Plus, they work on a space efficie

Whole Paycheck has certain products they can't find anywhere else easily. The higher price for the bananas is the price you pay for one stop shop convenience. The whole concept of the gas station convenience store is built on this conc

I think your idea was sound, and the company just got hit by a bad set of economic and global circumstances. I hope you'll consider restarting a similar venture once things improve, a stronger one having learned the lessons from the fi

Don't have your personal ethics be subject to someone else's ethics, because if you do that, then it means you don't really have ethics. In general I agree with this, but the situation described usually happens when offers

Absolutely. Catullus' poems, a mainstay in the modern Latin canon, was rescued from one surviving manuscript found in the bottom of a wine cask IIRC. It's always very exciting when we find some accidentally well preserved archeolo

Most startups and businesses will fail. Go look up that thread where antirez premiered Redis, and the one from the Dropbox founders too. Lots of naysayers or just flat reactions. If it was obvious what would change the world, we'd all

Did a bit of sleuthing on YouTube, and it's actually surprisingly hard to find a credentialed professor lecturing specifically on this part of Book VIII in isolation from the rest of the work, but I did stumble on this summary, which t

This is muddled. Aristotle lays it out clearly in the Nichomachean Ethics. There are 3 basic divisions of friendship: those out of utility (i.e. quid pro quo or alliances toward a shared practical end), those out of pleasure (i.e. shared in

Every one of these complaints always misses the salient failure of the analogy: do you expect your bridge or your gas line or your house's electrical layout (once it's installed) to be changed every month or quarter to handle new

Cuba's data is pretty suspect. Too lazy to find it at the moment, but I recall reading that their cancer rates or deaths were some absurd fraction of what would be expected given smoking rates even compared with better developed countr

Wait a sec: mammograms, postate exams, colonoscopies? You don't have these regular screenings when you hit a certain age? AFAIK, the data is very good on the early detection power of these exams.

Has more to do with credentialing bodies holding legal power over who can practice. If you masquerade as a pediatrician and tell every parent their kid needs an hour of exercise and fruits and vegetables, just letting the nurse give the inj

Naive question: why couldn't the government use something like a 12 month moving average? That way we'd keep the variable, but limit the weight of its volatility.

Inflation is a monthly/annual measure (at least insofar as most economists are interested in it). Looking at monthly spend is the fair comparison. You're bringing up an important point about buyers often left unaware of their tota
