You think there is a 100% that both are true? That there is no world in which they are not? Because I see a lot of worlds where at least one is not true. Moreover even if they are true, full self driving might take a really really long time

As someone trained in economics you should already be aware that everyone chilling isn’t a stable equilibrium. For example let’s say that everyone only works one day a week. Now I can double my output by working two days. So we can look at

Sickle cell anemia is Mendelian and recessive. So if 2 carriers (Rr and Rr) have kids, 50% of the children will be strictly superior (carriers), 25% will be normal, and 25% will die young. Not a bad outcome, especially if you have a lot of

Too bad companies like Bird, Wag, and WeWork get so much access to secondary market capital. Otherwise they would have had to IPO, and I could have shorted these companies like the flee-ridden dogs they are. Hey, at least I got to make big

Opportunity cost is a property of time, not culture. Unless we figure out how to live forever or stop time, this will always be the fundamental constraint on life.

A great way to increase working memory is dual n-back tasks. I personally do dual n-back every day while using a tdcs device and have noticed a significant increase in working memory and many cognitive tasks (mental math, symbolic math, and

Why not? I always fold or map my option types. Sometimes I return None and caller handles it, sometimes I print a useful and informative error message. One should never ever directly unwrap an option value. In fact, some languages and libra

It’s fine to have different priorities, but don’t expect to get rewarded for them. In financual firms where I have worked, everyone puts in at the very least 10 hours a day, and at least 8 hours total on the weekend, regardless of whether y

You should check out GraalVM. Easy compilation to native code. A total game changer for the JVM, imo.

I use the Trachtenberg speed system of mathematics to do mental math. I can reliably do any 2 digit by 2 digit number and most of the time do 3 by 3 digit numbers. Does anyone know if it’s possible for an adult (I’m 26) to do better with so

Teslas don’t seem like a good idea to me for a police depsrtment. Not only are they significantly more expensive (20k more according to the article), but they also suffer from battery degredation, long repair times, and also a reliance on a

That's not the point of patents. The point of patents is to give your invention to the world/country and in return, the government will protect your invention for a period of time, after which, the novel idea will be donated to th

If you spend >$400 trying to slightly mitigate every random way of death, you would be spending 10s of millions of dollars. Of course, this is why these features exist in the first place: to hijack your mind and convince you that you can
