I recently saw cultured oil as well and have been doing some in depth research on adjacent topics since I have a family history of CVD. How has his writing changed how you eat, and have you noticed any differences in health metrics?

“Not a high hourly rate”. From OP’s link: Registered nurse: $77,600 Total, all occupations: $45,760 You have to be in a bubble to think this isn’t good pay.

Neglecting issues due to the war in Ukraine, a lot of the “supply side issues” are not totally isolated from central bank policy, QE, and stimulus. The use of QE and stimulus increased demand, while simultaneously, government policy decreas

It matters at the point when an individual is accountable for having seen the ad. There are countless situations where you cannot possibly perform any normal function of life (shy of sitting in the house and having someone else do all inter

Any ad that is sent to a person does not want to see it, in an intrusive way such that they cannot avoid it. The “something” is “looking at it.”

I think an important part of your statement is “interested consumers”. A consumer who is not interested should not have to be bombarded with advertisements. At this point (making someone do something they do not want to), is where it become

Do you have sources for your cost numbers (trillions, billions, etc.)? In particular I am skeptical of the idea that all the preparations taken only cost in the billions of dollars range. And the idea that COVID itself (opposed to the gover

Amazon is not an average stock, nor is Bitcoin an average crypto, as measured by returns. How many people can pick the next Amazon? Probably not very many; instead they choose to diversify into a fund that tracks a larger portion of the mar

Who cares about “how DuckDuckGo can outperform Google”? For some users, it does. Their value proposition is privacy, which for me was appealing enough to move from Google. When I found out they were actively censoring search queries, it was

It results in a better experience for their users, but it would not improve their business. It would lower the barrier to switching from iOS to Android. A lot of people, myself included, only have an iPhone because of iMessage. I would love

Is this particularly meaningful? It seems to me that a critical assumption underpinning this study having any meaning is that someone’s ability to answer consensus questions correctly is correlated to their ability to answer non-consensus q

As if that were not bad enough, the news-checking group seemed to enjoy their time more than the thinking group. The article seems to be pitching the study as showing that thinking is preferable to other activities, but the data shows that

Love this project! I’ve read several books from Project Gutenberg and owe a great deal to the project. I love seeing this extension of it and will be sure to avail myself of it and possibly contribute one day! Not a question, so much as a s

In my experience, meetings and planning are exactly the opposite of the enjoyable moments of being on an in-person team working on a project together. It is the impromptu ideas, brainstorming sessions, late nights figuring something out, th

It’s interesting to me the emphasis placed on tooling. The tooling in Rust’s ecosystem, while good, is far from my favorite part. I very much enjoy how expressive and ergonomic the language is. Coming from primarily C and C++, it was eye op

I get the sense that the majority of people are using their computers in a far different way than I am. For me, my computer is a terminal first (I don’t even start X11 on startup!) and behaves as a text editor, web browser, and a way to exe

Maybe I’m just old fashioned but all these new command line utilities strike me as solutions in search of a problem. Standard ‘find’ works great. It finds files. It can filter by any criteria I have ever had to look for and the syntax seems

Agreed. This was a hard one for me to accept, because being in tech, I am fully aware that iMessage is a software gimmick to lock people into the ecosystem. There is no reason, technically, that things have to be like this, and I dislike Ap

I still think the ultimate platform is yet to be out there. It’s foolish in hindsight to religiously fanboy either iOS or Android. There is still no platform that is fully featured, with strong network effect (where needed - which should be

I do desperately miss this. I’ve tried hard to get as good an experience as possible, but there’s no denying that Android wins on this one. The total closed garden approach of Apple is way overkill and I dislike it.

I’m not surprised. I used Android devoutly, had a Galaxy S4, then an S8 when that started showing its age. I upgraded to an iPhone 12 when AT&T ran the promotion to get a free one. I wanted to keep liking Android. The amount of time I s

It's certainly a difficult cost/benefit analysis, preserving the lives of the elderly, at the expense of quality of life for a younger generation, versus the opposite. The effects are, as you said, probably not measurable, and so

Regarding the teapot, what’s unfalsifiable about the claims of the Wim Hof method? It seems to me that they should be easily able to be disproven if they are in fact false.
