Yeah but in the first movie someone accidentally threw a real knife at him, which you can see Aragon (Vigo) unscriptedly deflect it with his sword so I think that notches him up a bunch

Probably not that much. Though you’re probably not getting that much from eating meat as most of it should stay in the digestive tract which people usually don’t eat. Stuff like plastic packaging, sea salt, or water is likely a more prevale

> It makes very conservative assumptions Uh huh. Good to know this guy has it all figured out. Edit: trying to find the most absurd claim in this. I think it has to be the desalinization idea. That we can “just” scale up desalinization a

Note, the fatal mistake in Microsoft’s case was not laying off the bottom 5%, it was laying off the bottom ranked people WITHIN small groups, even if said groups were doing very well. If you’re going to lay off the bottom x% every n period

While it would be nice to enjoy that benefit, I feel like that mindset is similar to that which has more or less locked cheap healthcare behind employer plans.

And if not, what if regulation suddenly makes it illegal to opt out? California maybe?

That’s a pretty stupid quote. I mean, yes, context matters, and there are cases where things are overvalued (obviously), but the reason prices rise is because revenue (profit) is expected to grow. All of those “basic” assumptions seem to as

Hmm that sounds misleading for the conversation at hand. If enterprise value is market cap - debt (forget cash) then you’re saying this is the net dollar value of owning every share of Tesla. But “rational” investors are aware of debt. It w

We already have deep spaces underground for storing nuclear waste. We don’t, however, have a way to transport said waste to said holes.

I think you’re misreading the word “quant” and coming off with a very different understanding of subtext here.

I don’t really have any stats to support either view but the key point is this, if accurate > It's much cheaper to prevent plastic reaching the ocean than cleaning it up We may have 7.7 billion people but less than 0.1% are free and

Sort of but not in a good way. When forests aren’t managed well and allowed to burn, the build up causes the fires to burn much hotter, making the soil itself burn underneath. There’s going to be significant nutrient loss for a large swath

I am curious how these interplay. Like liver disease and lung cancer are both long term effects from chronic use. If you smoke and drink alcohol, is one more likely to kill you than the other first? Also I would have loved to have seen the

Infinite depth of field. Magic Leap said they had solved this for their device (maybe they did, not that it makes up for the rest). Probably not solveable unless we do eye tracking and adapt the screen content to that or change the model fr

I think this is the way to go. A wealth tax is unfair. But an income tax rated on your wealth feels very elegant. The richer you are, the harder it is to get richer. Which feels like it is fair because the richer you are, the more you lever

I would also be concerned about people living longer but with the mental sharpness of an (average) 80 year old. Pre emptive; yes I know there are sharp old people but it’s fair to say that on average old people have significant mental decli

How this reads to me: “You can feel good about yourself eating tasteless food. Eating delicious food is only useful while you’re eating it, so once it’s consumed it doesn’t really do you anything”.

I don’t think the quote is particularly insightful. It’s nice to be praised and respected. This one always felt on the mark to me http://smbc-comics.com/comic/stoicism

If you work in the fields, and I invent tech that makes you twice as efficient, the most likely result is that half of people like you lose their jobs, and wages stay the same, if not decline due to oversupply. Might be great for me, but it

I’m no biomed expert. But I recall earlier discussions that amyloid plaque is basically just misfolded proteins, which are hard to differentiate from prions by any meaningful definition. Now I have no idea what Tau proteins are, but it soun

My biggest pet peeve is when AI is used to describe optimization models, and then people complain of black box algorithms, when the optimization is, in fact, perfectly transparent.

Is it absolutely proven that the causality isn’t the other way around, and that smoking doesn’t cause mental illness? Because that would be my assumption with a standout stat like that.

This is largely because Japanese prosecutors are so underfunded they only take on cases with absolute certainty of success.

The 21st century is 2001-2100 because we count them and the first century was 1-100 (there is no 0AD). But nobody refers to decades as the nth decade. We in fact refer to them by their leading digit. So no, it’s the 20s again.
