Makes you think of index funds / ETFs. For most small investors following what everyone is doing is the correct advice. It might be similar for most businesses - you will never become a superstar, but you will likely be somewhere close

A lot of contract clauses have been found void and unenforceable. Same could (and should) happen to many HOA covenants. The fact that you are unable to buy housing in many zip codes without HOA, and there are even some states (ie Texas) whe

Lockdown depends on two core factors. Social contract (compliance) and enforcement. SP is currently lacking both.

Just to make sure it's clear to everyone, you need to extract every dose with the special syringes - not just the 6th one. If you use the low dead space syringes for the first 5 doses, the efficiencies add up to enough solution left ov

Natural "extension" of the OPT program is the H1B... It's even in the rules, where your "OPT visa" (F-1) is on purpose not dual intent - you need H1B if you want to apply for a green card. And that's how most s

Wow, what a plot twist. The Broad Institute researchers got nothing, even though they are currently winning the patent wars. Fascinating.

You are right. While the energy of the chemical bonds is converted into heat, it's not like the bonds itself have any weight. It's a pretty obvious statement. Now I am embarrassed! :)

The story is (likely purposefully) ignoring some other ways you can "lose weight/energy" from your body. But I am curious what would the complete list be... * heat (the most obvious one, not explicitly mentioned I guess?) * e

I would say Elon Musk via his development of Tesla (first modern viable electric car) and of SpaceX (first almost fully reusable low cost space solution). They are different "type" than the ones you quote, but the sheer magnitude

4 engines = 2x the maintenance cost, even if you ignore the fuel. And 2x the overhaul cost.

That works for any service where you don't fully control the other endpoint. They are just being transparent. Although the wording re: website is peculiar. Could it be their form of a canary like warning?

To be honest, nobody is talking about very deadly exposure to pesticides in farmers populations. There actually have been papers published on that. While living outside a big city might be on average better for you, being a farmer is probab

No, they are not. They are likely to be much more dangerous for those groups, but the flu or pneumonia can kill anyone. Some strains of the flu are believed to be more deadly to the "strong" patients, due to a phenomena known as &

Contrary to ableist opinion, a utopia is not a world where disability is a problem that’s been solved; rather, it’s an inevitable expression of genetic variance, and disabled humans are not just welcomed but fully included.) This is somet

Quickly comparing Brk.b to vti over the span of the past 5 years (so no graph hacking) they gained 60.14% and 64.71%, respectively, dividends not included. That's a much smaller difference than your statement seems to imply.

X-chromosome inactivation is a type of an epigenetic change. It is one of many that happen throughout the body - I would say there are very few cells in our bodies that have the same epigenetic markup. We've known about this for a whil

The current airport authority will sadly fight rail at the airport tooth and nail. I believe they make more money off parking fees than the flight ops. Moreover, the strongest / largest municipality in the region (Wake/Raleigh) se

The effects are connected. Converting more soybeans into fuel means it costs more to buy soy for food - higher incentive to make a new soy field anywhere.

There is a non-insignificant amount of work to take a paper from submission to publication. It's hard to determine the exact value / cost of that work, but article publication fees (and subscription fees!) is one way that work i

They chose yeast because a lot of the basic eukaryotic biology is conserved (as compared to humans) and it's basically free to grow more yeast quickly. This means you can run your experiments super fast. Conversely, the above has resul

Are you sure about this one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_judge#Te... The article above states, a Senate trial is required, or finding of a mental / physical disability.

I'm curious, in what sense is it insignificant? Quoting from (likely faulty) memory, 30% of federal budget comes from income tax directly, and the another 20% or so is covered by employer associated employment taxes. So out of that $11

Poland of the early 50s was a pretty shitty place to live, especially as an independent thinker. While I am not familiar with the situation in Italy in the 50s, I am very familiar with the situation in Poland. It was a heavy handed state, h
