I (OP) tried to put in the original title, but it was 2 characters over the limit, so I went with the key part (to my eyes). I think everyone knows that the context is covid. I am outraged by this. We know that Vitamin D boosts immune respo

I believe the person who said that was Agatha Christie. As to measuring inflation generally via the proxy of housing, the relationship is confounded by regulation that subsidizes demand and restricts supply, especially in cities like SF &a

Semi on-topic: This site really wants to track me. It doesn't let me read with an AdBlocker, but also doesn't let me read incognito, which was my solution to the first problem. Creepy!

I read Baker's 'House of Holes' in 2014 and enjoyed it a lot. At least among a certain set, he's a well-known & respected author (here's a NYT review of House of Holes [0]). It's perfectly intelligible for

Maybe you should? (Wear shorts that have pockets). This is the kind of trade off that people who get really into something make, they don’t put on a pair of running shorts that weigh 2-3 oz. and slip an ID in there, to avoid the extra weigh

The key idea here is modular housing; vertical trailer parks are one way to make that happen. A post I like on the subject: “ Movable Housing for Scalable Cities” by Eliezer Yudkowsky (@yudkowsky here): https://steemit.com/s

> calling for the abolition of work is like calling for the abolition of death subbing out death for aging, which is far and away the leading cause of death, I think this is a good metaphor. The first step is to persuade people that work

I like this idea, thanks for the link. Just noting that it's funny for an article about effective communication to have a prominent typo in its key graphic ('concreet')

A non-diversified portfolio is the predominant risk factor here. This guy lost his life savings in crypto, while other people poured everything into Worldcom, their dream home in Miami, etc. Crypto might be riskier than those classes of ass

My general recommendation would be to read a really high-quality book by a philosopher on an issue you care about. Here are some I would recommend: * ‘superintelligence’ by Nick Bostrom * ‘Down Girl: the logic of misogyny’ by Kate Manne * ‘

I’ve never thought about this before, but it makes sense, especially with the advent of electronic keyboards. I grew up playing cello and didn’t get a full-sized (4/4) instrument until I was in high school. It seems like a good idea to

“The medium is the message” comes to mind here. I find decks mind-numbing, especially those heavy on graphic design and visual flair. I’ll take full sentences in connected paragraphs, thank you.

Pauline Gee’s slice shop in Greenpoint has some vegan options that would fool most people in a blind taste test, I think. The bread and the sauce are doing most of the work.

This is an important marketing point that is maybe not raised often enough. Then again, the main non-water ingredient in Just Eggs is Mung Bean Protein Isolate, so...maybe ‘plants-based’ is an improvement

In general, I like it when people make their objections to veganism explicit, rather than just going about their lives eating meat. It suggests openness to conversation that I appreciate. So an upvote for you. To the point that veganism req

If anything, I would say fur gets a disproportionately high amount of attention from animal rights activists, relative to the total number of animals affected. According to Animal Charity Evaluators, an effective altruism group that focuses

This question is easy for me — hog farming is, overall, a greater harm because we are talking about more pigs and more horrendous conditions. Both are morally impermissible, in my opinion, which is why I keep to a vegan diet and don’t wear
