You can find people who have been "sounding the alarm" since 1980 about stock prices. This is no coherent analysis in this article, just a random collection of out-of-context opinions. I generally expect better from Bloomberg.com

I believe in a God, it's called a vaccine, and I got the numbers to prove it (polio, small pox, etc).

Current worst case projections for New York State are for around 30,000 ventilators needed at the peak of the epidemic. 2400 is not insignificant but hardly enough in this case. Nobody predicted or projected the scale of the current crisis

"So far, successful mitigaions in China/Korea have involved near-complete shutdown, very early in the epidemic, around the time of 100 confirmed cases." From what I read, South Korea shut down almost nothing but had widesprea

I wear it everyday for a workout of ~1 hour and while the battery goes down by around 10% from that it’s not unthinkable for the battery to survive a multiple hour hike if fully charged. Of course 12 hours with constant heart rate monitorin

"Every action that a rich person takes to enrich themselves rather than trying to level the playing field is by definition taking from the poor." "Taking"? When a "poor" person chooses to buy an Android or an i

Wealth tax discussions aside, then they should talk about "getting rid of poverty" instead of "inequality" which puts "us vs. them" spin on the whole discussion.

This is a good insight from the essay: "I'm sure most of those who want to decrease economic inequality want to do it mainly to help the poor, not to hurt the rich. Indeed, a good number are merely being sloppy by speaking of decr

It is not directed by James Cameron, he's just one of the people who gave money for it (aka producers). And I'm sorry for the strong language, but the movie is absolute garbage as far as science is concerned. One-sided, one-liner

I am not a physicist, but one can definitely come up with thought experiments about testing the multiverse. One could imagine creating a universe in a lab "from nothing" since there's a hypothesis that the energy of a univers

After reading a few blog posts and interviews with Peter Woit, I think I can say he's definitely a little bit "fringe" as far as physics is concerned. He does try to stick to the science (of sorts) but using some philosophizi

Is observing a parameter not allowed by quantum mechanics or a current fundamental law? I am aware of the difficulty involved but an optimistic view is that anything is possible until fundamentally proven otherwise. As far as I’m aware, qua

Quantum computers might be able to perform simulations which will be indistinguishable from reality. Many theories can be tested that way once we have a sufficiently powerful quantum computer.

Examine.com is rock solid in my opinion. Best summary of research (with direct links to each published paper) that I’ve seen. I often use examine.com directly without going through Google but I hope Google will realize they have made a mist

“You can’t make a living making music. Or art.” This statement is too general and obviously false. Many artists make money. Of course many or most don’t but “can’t” is a very strong word.
