Thanks for the healthy skepticism. I still think there's a lot to learn from those articles for most folks uninvolved in this area, even if some of their immediate optimism has additional complications. I think what I mostly took away

If someone in the year 2050 was to pick out the most important news article from 2025, I won't be surprised if they choose this one. For those who don't understand this stuff - we are now capable of editing some of a body's D

What's funny is the tariffs announced a couple day sago explicitly excluded semi conductors and pharmaceuticals. We are literally about to tariff t-shirts but not those more strategic industries.

Spending Buffet's staggering fortune in a manner nearing anything efficient feels like a herculean task that even the most capable would struggle with. Objectively, his kids have not demonstrated any capability to do something of this

Without a doubt "Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage" by Alfred Lansing. Read it, read it now. It's the kind of book that you once you read, you'll never forget. 4.8 stars with 23k reviews on Amazon. Similar s

Legitimately there are AWS resellers. Paying for cloud services through a middleman just seems so bizarre, but yet it exists. https://aws.amazon.com/partners/programs/distribution-resell... https://aws.

rtings.com has great reviews for electronics, measuring detailed metrics and putting them through various tests. (for example, their AirPods Pro review: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/apple/airpods-

No 17 year old college applicant has power. What would you call treating a 17 year old different based on their skin color? If we can't use the word racism anymore, then I'll call it bigoted.

I'd love to see a 2019-2021 salary change by height study. Or Zoom interview vs in person interview acceptance rate by height. Did short people benefit more compared to tall people given the remote work+hiring situation?

Amazon claims cameras automatically track what you take and put back. But if that's the case, then I'm left confused as to why receipts take so long (15-20 mins+ sometimes) to be generated after leaving the stores? Is it possible

Just an interesting sidenote. It does feel like the letter is shorter than it used to be, so I plotted the number of pages by year in the PDF fils on their site. Looks like there was a decrease from 20 pages to 15 starting in 2017. Graph:

The best humidity solution I've found is to set my shower up as a humidifier. Puts out a lot of humidity that spreads throughout the house. Doesn't need any cleaning, refilling, etc. Total cost on Amazon, like $40 (probably cheape

My first reaction to any news from a large company that people question the legality of is "I'm sure they have a team of highly qualified lawyers who signed off on this plan." But then I remembered about the RH checking accou

Seems like a good method and actually more accurate than they do... seems like they just do a hash of IP.

Looked for a few minutes and couldn't find the full answer. How does Plausible calculate unique users if it can't store some type of identifier on the page? I see this... "We do not generate any persistent identifiers either.

There is just conveniently space next to the box for him to get out of the box? Would think cargo holds are generally pretty stuffed full.

This is a somewhat tough problem for companies at this point in time. To executives focused on customers, sales, product - this is an even more interesting issue because it has really nothing to do directly with the company itself. Most cus

Ya, the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine appears to make a pretty large majority of younger people feel fatigue. a safe vaccine does not mean a fun vaccine.

by tuna-piano 6y ago
Agree for short term effects, even for young people. Due to the trial size, I think we can be confident that if there are any short-term safety issues with this vaccine they are extremely rare. 1,769 people 25-34 have died of Covid this yea

I haven't seen that, but I'd be careful to draw the meaningfulness of that metric, as there has also never been an mRNA vaccine deployed until this year. That said, the large size of these studies should be extremely comforting to

I'm curious if anyone knows why Pfizer's mRNA vaccine still needs this while Moderna's mRNA vaccine does not? Has Pfizer just not gone through the proper temperature testing or did they go through that testing and it showed t

My theory is that anti vaxxers have poisoned the public conversation (if you say anything questioning a vaccine you shall be shunned). I plan to get this vaccine and generally trust our scientific institutions. But of course there are legi

I don't believe that's an accurate statement. Problems have been rare, but not unheard of. A list here for the US (most of the listed vaccines on the page were later found not concerning): https://www.cdc.gov/vacci

Looks like for fever, flue vaccine is more like 1-2%. So maybe 10-20x more fever with this vaccine than flu vaccine. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/flu-shot-facts/2020/09...
