I think you're talking about "Weathered." About 150 years ago about 8m people died in India, because during an El Nino drought and famine British companies continued exporting food from India. I guess you could call that &quo

100%. CPR initiated within 2 minutes of cardiac arrest increases survival rate by 81%. The fact that CPR is rarely initiated so quickly (and thus survival rates are extremely low), says nothing about the efficacy of CPR. In the best cases w

This reply is perfect. The anger encapsulated in it captures the exact crux of the post. The point, of course, is that advances in personal technology have coincided with a cultural shift where people feel entitled to personal isolation in

You're not pricing in the primary impact of the subsidy - the value of the travel itself. Those tickets subsidize travel and reduce carbon emissions.

This is a very strange comment to make on the Y combinator link sharing site. A site started as a space for a community of founders and aspiring founders to share their inspiration, ideas and stories. And you're responding to an articl

Your home page/blog is by far the cleanest, fastest, and most functional I've seen. Can I ask what you use to publish it? I can't find any reference to a platform in the HTMl source (which is amazingly clean BTW).

I live in Brooklyn in Bed Stuy, and my neighbor who has lived here his entire life told me how he used to play football in the street everyday in the summer when he was a kid. There was always a pick up game, and when I asked he said occasi

We're living in a moment of great homogenization. The myriad of microcultures that spanned the globe, and gave rise to so many unique ideas and movements are evaporating, and the result is a type of global group think. The results of t

The EPA was created to empower experts to make informed decisions with the goal of benefiting the public good. The science of regulating pollutants is hard, and neither our representatives nor the voters who elect them and ultimately hold t

I recently watched Project X, a campy Matthew Broderick movie from 1987, and I was just blown away. It was so incredible to watch real Chimpanzees interacting with real human beings in real environments. I had that illusive sense of wonder

Should Congress also pass laws regarding which vaccines are mandated for military personal serving in which areas of the world? For example, if the risk of yellow fever increases in Yemen, should Congress pass a law requiring special forces

Does that mean you support a rollback of all vaccine requirements? For example the MMR, TDap, HepB, polio, chicken pox vaccines required for school children? Or the numerous vaccines required for military personal? And would you be comforta

I wonder if an argument could be made that this would actually pay for itself. Given that productive use of search is at odds with commercial use of search, maybe a publicly funded search engine could increase GWP by 0.01% which would be ab

This is the dream, but outside of government intervention I don't think it will ever be realized. There's no effective standards body, and the big players have little interest in sharing their data in any robust way. There's

This is a great idea, and a welcome addition to the space. Fitness data standards are exceptionally poor and there's very little alignment between the major data collectors. This has resulted in the creation of a small army of syncing

You can't catch polio twice. And chicken pox is pretty similar to covid actually. It has a similar R value, and adults who catch it can be hospitalized, but for children it's usually not as serious. And once you've had chicke

It's the local demographics that matter. I live in Brooklyn. I don't care what the vaccination rate is in the entire US, or NY state, and I'm hardly ever in Manhattan. I don't dine indoors because the vaccination rate in

Vaccine requirements have been in place for decades. For pre-K in NYC kids need shots for PCV and Hib. For kindergarten they need more shots: Hep B, Polio, Chickenpox, and Measles, Mumps and Rubella. Going to middle school? Then you'l

The vulnerable populations aren't vaccinated. The vaccination rate in Brooklyn for people 65+ is just a bit over 50% (51% white/54% African American). If cases keep rising I don't see any reason why hospitalizations and death

Interesting to note that unleaded gas also has lead about 0.05g per gallon which is a lot when you consider how much gas is burned in a typical big city everyday. Aviation gas has 2 grams per gallon, so if you live near an airport you'

A couple of things I omitted for brevity: The async server response doesn't contain the data. It contains a link to retrieve the data. So make a request and then wait to for a link to be sent to your server that you can use to retri
