I wouldn’t classify the owner as a gig worker. They own the customer-facing brand and other IP. Much of the customer data they likely share with delivery services, but not the kitchen (of course, vertical integration is a future possibili

One purely linear constraint is time. In many health care fields, it simply takes time for clinical studies to collect data, from which the next generation of clinical studies can be planned, and there's no good way to meaningfully sp

If you're not familiar with how to lift at all, it may be worth a few sessions with an actual personal trainer at the local gym to get the basic movements down. In the beginning, the most important thing is just to get into a routine,

Many diagnostic blood tests for cancer markers are more useful as a data series over time than as single point in time tests, because individuals have variable "normal" or baseline levels. You establish an individual baseline for

What follow on test for suspected lung cancer would risk the life of a not insignificant number of people? An MRI without contrast has no impact. An MRI with contrast has relatively little impact. A biopsy would only be done if the MRI wi

I've seen first-hand that it can become a self-reinforcing problem and solution in one. You spend too much time at work and never develop meaningful personal relationships with your spouse and children. Years later, when most people

Many of the people I know who make $500k+ in Manhattan are in relatively unstable careers. Finance comes to mind. If you take a snapshot of them in the moment they may seem to have substantial purchasing power, but the smart ones realize

I was tested as a kid and redirected into magnet schools and programs like CTY as a result. I remember my first day in the first magnet school and feeling like I had finally found a group of people "like me". I was 9 years old.

There's at least been (and continues to be) public and spirited debate about events in Saudi Arabia and Israel, of a kind that China seems incapable of tolerating. No country is perfect, but when you start silencing or censoring polit

It would be at first. But if almost all of a hospital’s revenue comes from CMS, why wouldn’t CMS simply run the hospital? If it can run provider networks more efficiently, why not hospitals? At least that’s how I predict the political di

I support Medicare for all but I’m also realistic that it will result in a two-tiered public/private system, similar to what the UK has with the NHS and separate cash pay services and private insurance. The key is to disconnect the pr

You’d follow an asymptomatic false positive blood test with at worst a whole body MRI and at best a targeted imaging study (if the blood markers are specific). You’d have a further false positive rate from that but it drops off quickly. T

Cut out any food or drink that includes processed sugar. Limit alcohol consumption, except for a few glasses per week of red wine. Reduce intake of any animal products with hormones or artificial feed sources in the supply chain. RO filter

My understanding is that all types of alcohol, except for red wine (in moderation), mildly increase cancer risk.

Many of these early cancers are asymptomatic and universal diagnostic imaging in the absence of symptoms is cost prohibitive. Better blood tests address that and other important gaps.

Uber is the reason I no longer need to take out local currency when I am traveling in Europe. I'd happily pay a 50% or greater premium to avoid the hassle of dealing with local taxi companies.

Quarterly taxes seems to have been the initial cover story. My guess is it ties back partially to the eurodollar carry trade. There is an unprecedented amount of international rate and currency arbitrage going on which has pulled US dolla

It's anecdotal but I've been in half a dozen WeWork properties in the last 2 months and I've yet to see one more than 50% occupied. There were a couple buildings in Seattle that seemed almost empty.

Is it true that WeWork is now the largest single lessee of commercial real estate in the US? Seems like a bad bankruptcy could have some broad ripple effects.
