The chart in this article shows it a bit, but CBD vs THC is a huge component of this. They are not only entirely different drugs, but they have opposite effects. I'd recommend at least 5:1 CBD to THC for people who don't want any

It's entirely plausible. There's very strong evidence that both sperm counts and testosterone levels are going down (wikipedia it) worldwide over the last 60 years. The mechanism here would be that many plastics are or contain end

People wanting concrete answers is a good force. Authorities saying "We don't know" is also a good force. Combine these two good forces and you end up with "Let's do some more research" which is what we need mo

I like the article and the proposals. I think "no evidence" is problematic and I think Bayesian reasoning is fundamental to science reporting. Maybe it doesn't even go far enough though, sometimes you need domain expertise. C

I feel like this article almost makes some good points, but instead of completing any good points, it just keeps jumping to other unrelated points. This gives the distinct impression that it's not trying to identify any single problem,

Glad that's the case. I do find that in certain areas, with certain electricity costs, solar can be worth it. But I also find that a lot of people are miscalculating their break-even point. If I invest $X, the default return is 5% fore

As a recent homeowner, I've looked into some of this stuff, and my conclusion across the board has always been - it's never worth it. Better airtight windows? Not worth it. Heatpump? Not worth it. Recycling/whatever? Not wort

I feel like you really didn't address what I said at all. These are two cases of OS dictating which software comes on their platform. To make it worse, the microsoft case was just about defaults, you could still install whatever the h

What? I remember microsoft getting into huge shit over mandating preinstalling internet explorer on their OS. This feels 100x worse because you can't install any alternative sms application afaik. I think the only mismatch is that lawm

Basically correct. One other element to note though is that employers love H1B because they know it gives them huge power over the employee because the employee must leave the country immediately if they are fired and it can reset the whole

Sure. In short I think in a simpler world we might expect all genders, races, and backgrounds to equally participate in all fields but in practice I don't think that needs to be our first goal (and maybe not ever depending on what the

Are you seriously arguing that fabricating data should be allowed for social sciences? Because otherwise it might just look like you are you just going off topic to grind some personal axe.

I feel like you have a point here, but if you phrased it just 20% more carefully then a wider audience would be willing to hear it. Also worth pointing out -- Yes many companies do include a huge number of "non-white" people when

This feels odd to me. I don't see how this can mathematically work out. I don't really see how AGI and capitalism coexist. Semes like a perverse incentive. I'm not sure if most billionaires (investors) deep down want to creat

Well -- I'm not. I think it's almost an intuitive tenant of non-monopoly -- interoperability. Also, in practice, I think maybe less than 10% of this site doesn't believe that enshitification is real. Forcing interoperability
