I think there would just be fewer dentists. It's like asking what would happen to the finances of weight loss clinics if magically Americans weren't as obese.

Has storage been solved yet? In my experience US power companies hate crediting pushback to the grid because it all happens at the same time during peak sunlight hours and then customers get to use those credits at night and during the wint

I'm having trouble following your reasoning. Covid vaccines are not physiologically dependency-forming, unless you just use your own will power to decide that you want to turn it into a dependency in your life. though they do have othe

You can frame anything as being good for you if you search for reasons and ignore any downsides: - "Coffee reduces risk of developing Parkinson's" - "Wine helps reduce heart disease" - "Nicotine stimulates cogn

If you don't get real photos though, how do you know you aren't misrepresenting the people you are aiding? You could very well be exaggerating their plight which will make your donors feel scammed if the truth comes out.

It's pretty close to double. Sorry, but I just can't justify $400 for a measly 16GB of RAM

Even "29% heart disease" can be misleading since it could be a 3rd or 4th order death. A big chunk of "heart disease" is likely: Standard American Diet (high carb, high sugar, high corn syrup, high processed) -> high

Trump doesn't have a very good ROI though... if I put $10k into a Trump "no" I'd only make $373 (or ~3.7%) ROI which is worse than CDs currently

Are there any bookies for that? Seems like an easy way to get rich betting against that happening. If not, then I would instead wager the "market sentiment" is that Trump isn't actually serious about a 2028 bid or that he won

Well then articles should focus on that if they want to convince people who use git as a daily driver. Currently the impression I get from jj is that it's "git for people who have a hard time understanding/using git", th

I feel like anyone who spends just a couple of hours learning git will have a much better mental model than the crappy "Assembly line" model from the article. Your real mental model of git should be an acyclic directed graph where

High voltage means nothing if the power source can't deliver the current. You could use a transformer to step up a AAA battery to a billion volts and it wouldn't do anything because a battery can't actually push out 1B/[
