Sun at altitude is much, much more potent because of decreased atmospheric protection you get from UV rays. UV exposure goes up by about 4% every 1000ft increase, so living in Denver I get about 20% more UV exposure than someone at sea leve

It will be interesting to see how the process for applying to climb the China peaks will go. Nims had to rally so, so many people to get the chance, I hope she sees a favorable outcome as well.

And you know Nims personally?

Can you expand on the last sentence? According to https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?cou... , cost of living in Japan is a good bit lower than the US, and I would consider 67k as a decent wage when

Some of this is because the first order effects have come and gone, and media is going to try and focus on the most current and relevant things. As you move through a timeline, second order effects will turn into first order effects and we

Start super basic, grow an herb or something like that in a cup of water. Go to a store and get one of the small potted herbs, take it out, clean the roots with water and stick it into a cup. This is super satisfying to see from a process s

There is a tangible difference between growing and nurturing something yourself, and seeing it do its own thing in the wild. Sure, nature is magnificent in its own right and displays that almost every time we walk out the door. But setting

I think this is the case for many of the catastrophic scenarios that a human/humans can face. Think about people smoking, or eating really really poorly, or driving drunk. And the worst thing is that in many cases people will revert to

A Thousand Brains by Jeff Hawkins captures some of these observations, and whether the theory is correct or not, there was definitely some resonance with how I feel like my brain might work. Things like anticipating how much something wei

Wow thats insane! I always think this is what going viral on social media is like, although I am probably better off not having experienced that.

Just curious, is there any general number range for how much traffic a front page post might get? Less than 10k, 10-100,000, 100,000+, etc

I was playing a drawing game last week where one person would draw and everyone else would guess what it was as the drawing is appearing. It’s incredible how some people could clearly and confidently guess correctly off of very minor clues,

I would really hope so. All of this conversation is devolving into a philosophical argument about 2 letter words. To know what something is relates to understanding some of its properties, and how it might interact with the world around it.

Oxygen is definitely still monetized. Think about the canisters or the tanks that people use to go into high altitude environments. Hell, even in Denver or Aspen or Telluride you can go to an 'oxygen bar' for absurd prices. Hospit

This most certainly is not true. There are plenty of free things that don’t result in 100% consumption. Demand is based on peoples needs and preferences, not on how much is out there already. Think about libraries as an example.

Sounds about right, I drink a massive amount of coffee. The weird thing to me is that my routine is pretty consistent, but I get the auras pretty sporadically. I have also heard that dark chocolate can be a trigger, and some other things.

That sounds like a terrifying experiment!

I get these as well, it seems very random. I might have one 3 days in a row, and then not have one for 3 months. About 15 minutes before the shimmering happens, I can already feel that something is off with my vision. The shimmer basically

Mmmm free services and VC don't really go together. Your napkin numbers seem pretty wild, and source for how you got to 10,000, even as a reference point?

I think there is a gap between people riding every day and people riding once a week to go to the bar or something. Of course it is going to be more practical to buy one for the person doing a daily commute to work or something, but my hunc

That defeats the whole point of a private company, and take away most of the benefits. The thing with the scooter business is that there isn't really a moat for it. Any number of players can come into the market(and they did) and just

What does this comment have to do with what the parent comment said?

This seems to be a textbook answer, but in reality we live in a world where people(renters and homeowners) have imperfect information. There is no renter out there that knows exactly how much they can get to the dollar. They have to compare

I see what you're saying as I reflect on the current landscape of media in general. To be fair I was born in the 90s, so no real idea of what the media landscape was pre-2000s basically. The media now is obviously much different, no in

Is this a positive effect? I think it is for lower inflation rates, but above a certain threshold the borrowing can get out of hand, people will go and get more loans, which will drive prices higher. Eventually the bubble pops and people go

Hasn't the economy always been part of a political stance? The economy is one of the top 2/3 factors that people consider when voting, hence being important for re-election. It would be in the best interest of anyone trying to run

Wouldn't the higher taxes just be passed off to the renter?

Yes, as an adult who does not know his father, and as a son of a mother who went through 3 divorces, I would say crawl out of whatever box you're in and go enjoy life. I really hope your whole life isn't centered around the failur

I guess I was coming at it from a 'romantic way to express commitment to someone else'. I now realize I have the wrong audience here. Do you really think by not being married the State isn't in your affairs? Now THAT is a biz
