This is already happening. The difference is that it's only happening at elite schools that take a "holistic" approach to admissions already. Now, less elite schools will join in the fun.

I would imagine that elite schools won't rely on this very heavily, but not every school has the resources to do a "holistic" admissions process, and not every student has the desire to go through such a process.

They do control for that when they study the correlation between the two, so none.

Can anyone who knows more about this than me comment on whether buying carbon offsets is more than just a PR move? Props for investment in green energy though.

Wow, strong nostalgia. I haven't thought about that site since about 2006. What a strange and beautiful thing it was. I still never felt like I really understood it.

Again, not really interested in differences in healthcare costs, but differences in healthcare quality.

I'm specifically interested in whether universal healthcare improves the quality of healthcare for everyone through this increased experience effect. I don't see the connection with what you're saying.

I'm guess I mean I'm interested in recent U.S. data, maybe compared to recent data from countries with universal healthcare.

The meaning of monopoly here is that JD has a monopoly on the repair of JD tractors. That is, there cannot be competitors if they require you to use official repair places. It doesn't mean that JD repair centers have a monopoly on the

This is a really interesting perspective. Do you know if there's research on this?

The results from the study linked in the second article ( https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1610187 ) seems to be identical to the ones that I cited for 2011-12.

For young people, the numbers are very different. See my other comment.

At these ages, it's mostly type 1 diabetes we're talking about. Rates for 19 and under: 22 per 100,000 for type 1 13 per 100,000 for type 2 http://www.diabetes.org/assets/pdfs/basics/cdc-statistics-r

Right. It seems like the issue is that "calorie in/out" means different things to different people. For some people it refers to the simple fact that humans are subject to the laws of thermodynamics. For people trying to lose

This article makes a case against a calorie-centric approach to dieting. It boils down to something like Michael Pollan's "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." A guy (who has since become an expert in public health) wasn&#

People will be more likely to consider your criticism if you are specific. Can you recommend an incremental improvement that aiiane could push for?

Do you understand why I would call this perspective robotic though? I could never live like that. The reason I take a job is because I think it will improve my life. A paycheck is obviously part of that, but so is doing a job I enjoy. I wou

I guess I'm off-put by something more specific in the article than "taking your career seriously." I know lots of people who take their career seriously in a certain sense. They devote a lot of hours to their career and see i

Does anyone else find things like this from sites like 80000 hours really alienating? Do people really think like this? I don't know anyone who takes their career so seriously.

But in this case 13 Reasons Why actually did have the stated effect. I don't understand the point.

I don't mean to be a killjoy but both these quotes are obviously fake for anyone familiar with Plato. (The concept of god was not used like this in Ancient Greece and Socrates didn't talk like that.)

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
