I totally agree. Here's my hypothesis as to why people are so glib about throwing away their lives for their employer: People depend on their employer for their entire livelyhood. This day and age, without a pay check, you can't

I don't know much about semi conductors. maybe i'm just an old dinosaur. But, why is the whole world so hellbent on getting the very latest chips? Couldn't we just make do with 10 year old chip designs? My Iphone6 can do

Well, once you really start learning about lots of healthy natural foods, you'll start to recognize these more. Waxgourd is a large melon that tastes great in smoothies with a bit of pepper and honey. Or you can turn it into a tasty

the portion sizes are all normalized to 200 calories. The nice thing about that is it gives you a great way of comparing caloric equal portion sizes.

there's a big difference between minerals and vitamins. Potassium and magnesium are minerals and they are a bit harder to stuff into a pill. Also, vitamins (especially vitamin C) can be found in much higher abundance in a particular

Absolutely. But also, consider some natural sources as well. Cashews and Pumpkin seeds are pretty dense with magnesium, as well as nuts in general. I've calculated the relative mineral density of many many foods: https://

It's also, the actual air. There's more CO2 in the air these days. this super charges the growth of plants: vegetables and cereal crops. But, the amount of minerals in the plant remains the same but the plants grow larger with

i think a big part of it is people simply don't value good food and don't see it as impacting health. Crazy as it sounds, i've had otherwise intelligent people tell me they don't think the food they eat has any impact o

I've had trouble with mucus and allergies as well as some other issues. I've systematically trying to cut out the vast majority of processed food in my diet as well as diversifying my diet. It's actually quite a challenge an

It's not just iron that's lacking in our diets. Magnesium is an extremely important mineral that is lacking in nearly every modern diet across the globe. it's the procressing of food that removes three crucial minerals: mag

what about older versions of the books? usually if you go back a couple versions it's much much cheaper.

Yup! That gives you an idea of roughly how much it costs to acquire customers and Keep them!

I hope they can still get their app fixed. I haven't been able to see solar data from my panels in over a week now. the last time this happened it took 6 emails and 2 phone calls for them to fix it.

Anybody can build a twitter at a tiny fraction of the cost of Twitter. The problem is always user acquisition. It's extraodinarily difficult to get a vast segment of the userbase to switch to your platform. Even getting a tiny handf

China has a vast vast oversupply of software engineers. In order to make 996 work in the US, there would need to be a pretty big oversupply of talent (and a lower standard of living) to make people desperate enough to give up their entire l

yeah, it gets to be tough once you get over the 10 to 15 year mark. Alot of companies probably prefer younger folks.

don't forget, these days, that once you "pay for it", you'll pay another 50-100% of it's value in rent to the gov "property taxes" over the next 50 years.

it's true, population growth is a huge burden to prosperity. but i think it could be mitigated by building more and smaller cities, say in the 10k to 50K range. all you need is to provide companies with incentives for the first 10 or

That's an interesting theorey. If it's correct that could explain it. But, I just checked the demographics in Massachusets in the 1800s and it shows that there were 0 slaves. And it looks like minorities were in very very small

EDIT: I think you're saying that the overall compensation for workers was lower then (due to fewer sick days, all the things you mentioned etc) than now due to lack of regulation. What the stats say, is that compensation was actually

Yes but capitalism can also work to make things much much cheaper to almost no cost at all. You simply increase the amount of land available and make regulations that allow for cheaper buildings. 200 years ago, humanity had no problem at

the problem is: we require people to either own land or pay someone else that owns land. That alone wouldn't be an issue without the second requirement: You can't have any land because all of it belongs to the government. Even CA

it's interesting to compare and contrast your experience with someone else's. And since this is an experience everyone around here has had, we have it all in common, unlike say if there's a robbery on 1st street which might
