The "reason" is yield management combined with inventory management. The i3 through i9 are generally the exact same silicon. But yields are always variable. If you took the raw yield the actual i9 per wafer might only be 10%-20%

And I don't have a problem with that because this actually means that non-meat is 40% and all food is 100% Non-meat isn't zero either - massive fossil fuel inputs go into all plant cultivation from farm equipment to fertilizers to

Yeah, invented by people who've never worked a day on a farm!

Hmm. I've never cared about that. For whatever reason. I generally don't care what other people think - especially after I read Feynman's book of the same name decades ago.

The closest I came to "social media" was Reddit - I quit it and have never looked back nor missed it.

He's doing far better than 99.9999% of what's on the web, social media and mainstream media. I'll give him a pass on that last sentence!

Do agree - the lesser damage is definitely vaping. And Pareto -ranked risk analysis should be the ONLY way to decide such things. The societal veto is "Yeah, we want cars despite being highly Pareto-ranked for death!" in which cas

Yep. And a lot of this is made worse by using mined phosphate fertilizers which are formed geologically such that transuranic daughter elements are concentrated into the phosphate. Tobacco itself also concentrates them.

Nicotine also has nootropic effects (just like amphetamine and cocaine).

In general you can NOT "teach ethics" - ethics comes LONG before you get out of high school! By the time you are in university or in a job, it's really too late to teach it. Lying assholes will always be lying assholes. Cont

If you are NOT already doing the same arts prior and now, you are probably setting yourself up for failure. Arts just like STEM aren't something you "just switch to" without prior and established talent. Beyond that, it&#x27

Also of the "near zero information" value of resumes. Tufte compared PowerPoint presentations to having the information density of Soviet-era propaganda posters (i.e. nearly zero). You can validly claim similar comparisons with re

This is why I left Silicon Valley and founded my last company FAR, FAR from it. Silicon Valley is 100% OVER. It's jumped the shark. It's overdone and needs a fork stuck into it. I sold the company 3 years ago. My latest compan

It could make sense. The cannabinoid receptor occurs naturally and for an evolutionary reason. Another interesting factoid: the cannabinoid signally system is retrograde: its information flow is OPPOSITE of all other neurotransmitters along

I guess this is where everyone with an "EM allergy" should be moving to or they are just spouting BS.

Well, yes. Maximum information = Maximum randomness. This is why "modem sounds" are like white noise - both are maximum entropy. The probability of ANY state is maximized to the channel capacity. For binary words, that means ev

Of course it does. As a generating function, all you need to get a "Power Law" distribution of connections is a "preferential attachment" probability either statically or dynamically/transiently. Finite attention au

Nice article btw. Honestly hippies haven't been a thing since the 1970s-1990s. You used to be able to go to Seattle in the 1990s and see something that resembled California hippie culture but that's long gone also. Hippies were ma

Well consider what EPA managers are up to in terms of suppressing science about newly introduced chemical and their risks based on science. https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/attacks-on-science/epa-lead...

Agreed. Managers are empowered by organization and position. Leaders are empowered by inspiring and creating followers. They are diametric opposites in terms of mechanism and direction of power. Followers GIVE the leader power. Manager

Arginine will boost your Nitric Oxide (NO) production abilities. It's often used as a simple ED treatment, for example. NO is a vasodilator. This could align to recent NO-based nasal treatments against COVID.

Good! Hiring in 99.99% of companies is completely broken. Let companies suffer for their bad decisions to save money at the cost of accuracy and ethics! Let such companies go bankrupt or fail in the market because of this. 100% support t

The odds of infection are equally low. MULTIPLE both to get the actual odds of dying from it. Plus then COMPARE that to other probabilities of death such as car accidents, medical mistakes, etc. which are FAR HIGHER.
