Open your mind until your brain falls out. How many bromides should we exchange? Saying “there’s no proof” is better than believing everything that comes your way with 0 critical analysis. But it’s nice to feel smart.

They’re probably more unreliable as climate is far more complex than economics and predicting 50 years out with any certainty is a ridiculous notion for both.

All this nonsense is the same as the guys who have predicted 80 of the last 2 recessions. But hey, if you can exaggerate the output your model suggests that was built from faulty assumptions, incomplete data, hubris, and spans decades in ti

It's a good thing there's a near 0% chance of it actually happening.

First - sample sizes get smaller and smaller as you approach the edges. Law of low numbers begins to materialize. Secondly - there’s no point in optimizing around the edge cases. As a whole it’s pretty reliable. Everything is complicated is

Yes, on average IQ correlates with socio-economic status. Poor people are generally not as smart as not-poor people. That doesn't mean all poor people are unintelligent, just that most are. And my bigger point is you (a not stupid pers

State media doesn’t have corrupting influence of POLITICAL money? It’s inheriting my political! Government media is the worse possible thing.

> Nothing flashy or exciting, but it's laser focused on education and has zero agenda. That’s not true. It just matches your agenda which you feel is no agenda. Of course you are against getting rid of instruments of persuasion that

Good it’s a completely outdated concept. There’s no barrier to producing and distributing content today. That public tax dollars go to a place where partisans distribute it to their favorite projects is a 1960s era concept that needs to die

And yahoo! leadership agreed. They probably intended to just bury the tech and keep some staff which is why they didn’t pay the asking price. Had they thought either of these properties were transformational they’d have paid.

Absolutely no context behind that. It’s meaningless in isolation.

It’s odd to read the comments here, somehow getting into a long thread about nazi camps when the buried lede is that Europe is under tremendous financial stress and it’s not getting better. Losing ground for 20 years to USA and ascendant As

They aren’t starving by and large which was my main claim. Just compare today to 30 years ago to 60 to 120. Massive improvements in all relevant metrics. We’re doing the right things is the only way to interpret the data. Doesn’t mean perfe

Well, people have never lived longer and basically starvation and even hunger for many people has been eliminated. People are far more likely to get sick from eating too much and acquiring a disease than they are from any of the things you’

Serious question - what are all the unskilled immigrants that drive taxis/rideshare/etc going to do? Many millions. What’s the plan for these guys?

If you want to smoke food (BBQ, etc) avoid kiln dried wood. It's too dry. You want dry wood but you generally want some level of moisture (15%-20% is often good, more in some other styles) in most of your wood.

A lot of this stuff was beyond reach for people back in the day. A Neo-Geo game system is something a lot of people still want because it’s something they can finally acquire.

Important consideration when building an offset smoker for BBQ. Many of the cheaper ones have stacks that are small and not very high. Taller stacks make a better cooker because it pulls the air faster creating better convection and therefo

Best way to keep close - have kids at around the same time. You all benefit by being able to support each other and will have many opportunities to get together. Otherwise you’re just in different worlds with different priorities. Unless yo

And I’ll expand on this: Fishing is sending out applications all over the place. This is casting your reel. Changing your CV over and over is changing your bait. Reaching out to your network without a specific request to recommend you for a

Regardless of what people have said here my advice is simple: You’ve been fishing for a job. You need to hunt for one.

It’s really important to build and maintain your network, especially as you get older. It’s nearly mandatory to know someone to get your foot in the door today. Especially today where we have a saturated market and dim prospects for future

AI makes people more productive so that incentivizes me to hire more people, not less. In many cases anyhow. If each of my developers is 30% more productive that means we can ship 30% more functionally which means more budget to hire more d

Yeah you need a global navy that can assure the safe passage of thousands of ships daily. Now, how do you ensure that said navy will protect your interests? Nothing is free.

Yeah very often it’s about feeling like they have some control. Consider their day to day they are constantly being told where to go and what to do. They’re still people and do want to feel like they have some agency. Of course we can’t let

1) USA looks far weaker when everyone is included initially. Emboldens china. Then it’s flipped once they commit. 2) Still have a smaller tariff in place but it doesn’t feel as shocking.

Genius move. Set the trap (massive global tariffs that seem irrational) and wait for target (china) to retaliate. Once the bait is taken, alienate china and take the pressure off everyone else. New reality still departure from previous ord

Vietnam and Israel already agreed to remove tariffs on USA imports. Thailand is opening negotiations today. It’s simple - remove import duty from USA goods and the USA will remove tariffs. Reciprocal trade.

You sort of have a few different classes of golf course. - Par 3/Pitch & Putt. Should be able to reach the green from the tee on most or all holes. - Executive. Smaller course with more par 3 holes and shorter par 4s. Less than 5,0
