I buy a lot of his supplements. They're competitively priced for what they are, and what's in them is based on the studies and science they dig up. Not all of them will be cost-effective for whatever benefit you're trying to

Do you expect this to result in much substantive change relative to before the ruling was made?

I think ratification by 2/3 of states fairly meets the definition of "difficult to change, but not immutable." That it's been done numerous times in the past suggests it is quite far from immutable.

If it were easy to change, there would be no purpose to having a Constitution.

Campaigns already have strong limits. They get around it by giving money to PACs, which can spend money opposing other candidates or talking about issues in particular. Should there be limits on spending on messaging opposing a certain cand

Hmm. Dreamweaver must be what the cool kids were using instead of Frontpage.

Because they're reading blog posts and listening to podcasts that increase their expectations of what your output should be.

Normal people just reuse a few variations of the same password across all of their accounts. Federated identity isn't bulletproof but it beats the heck out of reusing the same password.

We only learned how to do a lot of those things because we gathered and analyzed data to find out how best to do them! "Eat healthy meals" means something completely different today than 10, 20, or 50 years ago. How you exercise m

> What on earth do you think that load of garble means? "50-100 years further along" is absurd. It seems straightforward. Imagine where medical care was 50-100 years ago, and then imagine they had all the data, resources, and p

I think if we already had everyone wearing commercially available continuous glucose monitors and gathered and analyzed that data, we'd already have diagnosed and solved a lot of our most common health problems. Obviously not all data

I think the only way you figure out which data has value is by collecting it first. And I don't trust pharma any more than I trust tech. I'm 100% OK with health-conscious yuppies that have too much disposable income being the guin

I think in a more sane universe, we'd be 50-100 years further along into medicine today just by gathering and analyzing more data with the technology we already have. And all doctors would be able to make better decisions.

The way we figure out how to catch issues before you notice them (i.e. proactively keeping you healthy) and figure out the best ways to fix them (i.e. reactively helping you get back to healthy) is by having more data from more people in mo

I mean it's true, but I don't see it as so black and white. Even more than I'm looking out directly for my own compensation, I'm also incentivized to help the company itself succeed, so it can make sense to help out with

I heard this new tobacco is a national security threat. You don't want China to be making it, do you?

It's a lot cheaper in Turkey. I don't remember the exact numbers but each of mine (in the US) was in the high four figure range. I originally felt more confident going to a plastic surgeon, though even though the doctor oversaw th

I had three done in the states and I'm happy with them, but it's tough to argue it was necessarily worth the increased price.

The threat is that users who are not sufficiently tech savvy will shoot themselves in the foot, including using methods they don't understand. This is a pattern we've seen play out numerous times. The more secure platforms are ove

I think it's reasonably within scope of the threat models considered by operating system creators.

No, it would just become something you ask your tech-savvy nephew to fix for you. Windows is (or used to be) full of things like this.

She would ask a grandchild or neighborhood kid to fix it, and then it would be disabled.

Plenty of people want to buy Tesla. Not saying they're prescient, but the market cap represents that.

I mean productivity generally, not economic productivity as measured by market cap growth or GDP. Nobody is operating businesses now without electronic cash registers, POS systems, accounting systems, etc. It's way more productive to u

Society was improved as a result of computers and the Internet. That does not mean society is in all ways better now than 70 years ago.

It sounds crazy now, but prior to the 1970s, sometimes even the mother might primarily provide the child care.

Computers and the Internet ushered in huge productivity gains. Despite many people losing their jobs as a result, it's tough to argue society isn't better off. I think that's the key difference with AI, though. It's not

Part of the value of paying an accountant is that you can get representation in case you are audited. Though I guess you did say you were confident it is correct.
