I think it makes more sense than the author expects. Bike thefts probably are not frequently caught with a high wuality camera, still pose, proper lighting, photogenically bland clothing choice, etc. such that it seems like a stock photo fo

We'll never know, but I wonder if the government had said, "masks are good, but please PLEASE do not try to buy them. the government is purchasing what supply we have to save our doctors." Perhaps with the honesty, the medica

Yeah that's the podcast, but I glance at those notes and they are kind of lacking in my opinion when compared to actually listening to the podcast. I'd recommend listening to it as it's fascinating to listen it. Enjoy the lis

I strongly agree with the premise of the article, and I wish more of society was aware of the issues that propagate what the author calls "Elite Underproduction". However, while I agree with the premise, I think the precise factor

Irrelevant anecdote: I was cooking nachos and decided to try slow cooked carnitas for the first time (I like cooking but I'm not very good at it). It was truly mesmerizing seeing the way the pork meat stiffened at first and then slowly

The calorie-in/calorie-out model is most likely (almost certainly) not so overpoweringly important that all other aspects of dieting are minimized to the point that they are negligible. That would mean the interaction of food choices a

Wow, this is a great point that I hadn't previously considered. These platforms can even conceivably get away with content removal more easily as ToS violations without stepping over the line to become publishers. But if one considers

One could build a self driving prototype in a weekend of hacking (using the libraries, tooling, etc available) and train it. I think it's a perfect example of the weekend prototype vs production reality difference.

I definitely think that's a very scary prospect, I'm just not sure what an alternative strategy that is viable.

The current statistics around breakthrough cases are not very clear (we have case studies but are lacking broader studies). We do know that vaccinated people can get the virus, can develop an infection, and spread it. We do not yet know exa

To look at that Alzheimer's approval and then conclude that FDA approval is mostly meaningless is a pretty strong statement based off of that alone. Even if you add in high profile drugs that were approved and later were shown to cause

No argument on the questionable nature of a wide variety of such actions. I would posit, though, that individual, targeted raids by special forces on specific terrorist leaders (baghdadi and bin laden) are much clearer than many other such
