The number one risk factor for cancer is age, by many orders of magnitude. Reverse the age and you reduce the risk of cancer. Potentially cancerous cells are constantly being produced in the body and then killed off by the young and functio

From what I can tell, Alabama has all the regular subsidies for ACA plans. What they don’t have is Medicaid expansion. The federal government offers states money to expand Medicaid to anyone making less than the minimum needed for ACA plans

For what it’s worth, currently you can get a mid-tier Obamacare / ACA health insurance plan for no more than 8.5% of your income. It’s a big jump to have a new expense of 8.5% for sure, but we do have that option now.

When you feel like whatever difficulties or pain you face are worth it. For example, if you work hard every day at something that reduces the suffering of others, it can be worthwhile, even if in the moment it’s painful.

I think people get too hung up on deciding who “really has” ADHD. It’s not a super meaningful exercise. There is no clean, black and white line demarcating ADHD from normal. A huge percentage of the population, if not a majority, experience

The discussion around “academic doping” seems spot-on to me. Regarding the increase in diagnoses of autism-spectrum, I think a few decades ago, those people would have just been called “weirdos” or “creepy” or “special”. They might not have

There’s no remote driver. There are people at a remote center that can add labels to scenes if the computer doesn’t have enough confidence to proceed. One the computer has enough information to start planning again, it resumes driving.

Margaritas aside, it’s distressing that it’s rare in America to find walkable communities where there is any activity outside the bubble of the house or megastore. We need to lean more towards developments that are built at human scale, not

Stocks have value because of dividends (or for stocks that don’t yet pay dividends, the likelihood that one day they will pay dividends). But ultimately, it is a bet on actual cash transfers from the profits of the business to your own pock

I see so many comments about how pay is half of what it is in the US, London is just as expensive, and there is a shortage of engineers in London. So what dark economic magic is causing this?

The funny thing is most people are holding bitcoin to get rich, not for stability. As soon as there are signs that hyper growth has ended, it won’t be doing the job most people bought it for. Resulting in a stable price much lower than the

It’s hard for me to imagine how it isn’t the first one. Nothing is really priced in the Bitcoin’s valuation except risk on / risk off. It’s a pure play on appetite for risk assets and that’s about it. People say it’s an inflation hedge
