This doesn’t seem very plausible to me. Still a world of difference between small phone and watch. I just don’t think there’s a big enough market for small phone users who won’t buy the next available size that more people are happier wit

Ok but irrelevant to my point. The experience isn’t always necessary to have positive effects.

I’ve used micro doses of psilocybin as a depression treatment and found it effective. Be definition the microdose meant I never had a “trip”, let alone a strong one with lots of introspection. It improves mood and increases energy even at l

Right which is why I specifically said retributive justice. Other penal forms may still be morally justified for the sake of the “system” as it were.

I use the same line of thought, but without any modeling. Suppose you could go back in time to a major decision in your life and make it over. But you arrive at that same point in time, with all of the same information you had, no new infor

Well your ethics should shift considerably. Retributive justice is morally repugnant for someone who does not believe in absolute free will.

Did you not expect that going in? Or it was worse than anticipated?

If it was mostly turn key, how’d he do such a bad job? I’m mostly at that point with my business and am aiming to “fool-proof” operations so looking for things I may be overlooking.

I mean I'd say that in civil conversation, face to face. Is swearing the problem? I was providing substantive contributions to the conversation, whereas conversant was, in my opinion, doing neither of these: > Please respond to the

I can’t let this go. It’s nothing like that. Yes, you are just positing opinions as if they’re facts, but that’s not everyone. There has been reviews of the literature. E.g I can’t recall the book off the top of my head but something like o

Your standards are bullshit and you know it. We can't say such statements of indisputable evidence about anything that happens in the world. Should we throw our hands up and just say, well it could be invisible llamas, or tree gnomes,

The author ends his post by stating that the rise of crime from the 60s through the 80s is a major puzzle (to him, in 2010 when he wrote it). I don't see this as an argument against the lead hypothesis in any way. Re: your second point

I thought so, and I wish it were. But look at the threads here, and everyone who feels that they can just say "crack epidemic" and believe it is providing the same insight into the situation as scientific study.

Nobody is stating there is a single factor. But it appears to be the largest that we can plausibly put a finger on. When you see the same correlations across different countries, states, and local jurisdictions that did not have identical d

>> If it's lead, did crime rates increase 20 years after leaded fuel became a thing? Yes. The rise and fall of violent crime rates correlate very tightly to the rise and fall of leaded fuel, with a ~20 year gap. You see the same

It would be impossible to 100% conclusively and with absolute precision determine the exact connection between the two. That doesn't mean it's not the best available theory at the moment, that fits the most data. There are interna

Good fiction can teach you more about human nature than any non-fiction. Marginally more knowledge about human nature can get you further than marginally more technical knowledge.

Anyone that’s interested in this and looking for a good short fiction read, pick up Sourdough by Robin Sloan. It’s a fun little tale set in the Bay Area about someone who picks up bread making as a hobby and things get weird.

The top comment right now on the thread on Apple’s new AI exec hire is entirely about how “suits” and “management” are worthless. Recent economic research, as pointed out by Tabarrok here, strongly disagrees.

With uber you are paid when you serve a customer. Creating content, on its own, is not serving either a customer or an end user, so there can be no expectation of payment.

I’ve most often heard it used in the context a man explaining something that didn’t need explaining in the first place. “If you don’t screw this screw in reallll right, it’ll come loose. And you know what happens if it comes loose right? We

I just read the book “1491” which covers a lot on this theme. Recommended. Short answer: it was always politicized, in various ways, for various ends. Most of those ways downplayed the size, scope and sophistication of native cultures.

Late to this... when it works, no problems at all for me. But then a random key sometimes ends up sticking, which I’ve heard elsewhere too and is a pain in the ass. Click it enough and I’ve been able to unstick them each time but still an i

The IF literature I’ve read indicates that calorie reduction isn’t really a goal, though it often happens to some degree. But I’m generally not taking in 2/3rd of prior calories just because I’m eating 2/3rd of the meals - more li
