Just anecdotal, but some older people I've known who grew up on farms are probably the most indifferent to animal suffering, as long as the animal provides meat or whatever their utility is. Animal welfare is only a thing kids are conc

Isn't the more apt to compare this to car restoration/repair or something? Fixing up homes isn't like a factory you can streamline and automate. Just anecdotal, but the first house I bought had some issues that enabled me buy

According to the article you posted, X is probably true - the scientists' model shows it being true, "focused on 36 points of comparison in 16 genes" and compared to "genetic data taken from more than 1,400 people".

This seems like apples and oranges to me. Theranos was lying about having a working product and I don't think there were many patients actually hurt, since they still used other products that were already available to have the appearan

Curious about this as well. I could understand being a little peeved as a shareholder if this is purely coming out of Tesla's pockets, but I realize a lot of people have bought into Tesla and think of Elon Musk's distractions as p

You're not paying the premium based on the actual risk, but instead some fixed amount. So if a flood does destroy your house you collect the insurance money to re-build at a cheaper cost than it should've been relative to the risk

Is there a citation from this? From a quick search I can only find re-imbursements for state & local firefighters working on federal property. Typical homeowner's insurance covers fire already in most places at least.
