Since they don't dive into economic feasibility, I did about 3 minutes worth of googling, and found this paper https://www.temjournal.com/content/93/TEMJournalAugust_1062_... that basically says its 20% cheap

Yeah, thats a fair point, I probably should have been more specific, I'm actually in Apex. The comparable part of Austin I looked at was Cedar Park/Round Rock.

Considered Austin when I decided to leave Seattle. Ultimately decided on Raleigh instead. the biggest detractor to Austin for me is that you have to drive everywhere. Unless you are significantly wealthier than I am you will be living in a

I know the "neural plasticity" genre turned out to be bunk, but I intuitively believe you can make video games that make you smarter. dual N-back training is a simple form. I think if you did research on what actually made you sma

you are correct, not exactly difficult to stop a summons. yeah the camera by the rearview mirror is not angled up, so could probably miss an overhead obstacle.

yup, good looking out, that's new since I last looked (3-ish years ago), and you are right, the sensors are designed for obstacles on a road, so you could probably miss something suspended 5 feet in the air.

I call shenanigans. I have a Tesla. This would be REALLY hard to pull off. you have to be physically close to the car (like within 60 feet I think), you have to hold down a button, and as soon as the car senses something near it (inches) it

I spent five years in the Air Force. Posts like this are really helpful, a lot of Americans are disconnected from members of the military, especially in the upper classes where people do not need to serve, or in fields (like tech) where peo

I tried sprinting on the treadmill and found that too aerobic, and I would sweat at my desk afterwards, and I tried bicep curls and found that not aerobic enough and really just an arm workout.

Personal Anecdote: when I was in an office (before current WFH) and I was mentally exhausted I would go down to the gym, slam slam balls into the floor for 2 minutes without stopping, maybe take a 30 second cold shower, then return to work.

What about a more social software job, such as project management, or sales? Those would necessarily involve building relationships with people, and you would be branching out in your career. People who can do the less technical jobs, while

Not an index fund, but you can programmatically get access to their disclosed trades and create your own trading bot from there. I think this disclosures are a month or so after the fact. https://api.quiverquant.com/docs

I get my beef directly from a farmer ( https://www.mountainrunfarm.com/ ) and he has not raised prices since 2017. If you can buy your beef at least 200 pounds at a time, and ideally a whole beef (~625 pounds) you can get gra

Excellent question, also synthetics. This is my big question. If you make fiat backed stable coins to onerous to manage, then everyone just moves to algorithmic stable coins.

I don't have the source, but I saw recently that if you price houses in gold bars, prices have remained highly consistent over the past 125 years at a price between 225-250 ounces of gold for the average new home in America. It's

What could we do with college campuses assuming some proportion of them go out of business in the coming years/decades? It would make for an immediate walkable city with all the infrastructure already built out.
