This resonated strongly. I hated biology as a kid but have been blown away at the wonder of it all as I've started to study it as an adult. I wish more of the magnificence and wonder of it all was conveyed vs the rote memorization that

I think the thing I often see missed in these discussions is the cost and time burden imposed by regulation. It's nearly impossible to build power plants in the US today. Launching satellites while hard, solves this problem. Even if it

it's click-bait, the lane keeping is free and is not going away

Lane keeping is a default feature for free on all tesla's and this article doesn't say it's going away.

I've felt for a long time that math notation is just a really bad programming language. I think a corollary to this is that we should teach math with code.

Believing that one should be able to consume raw milk is not anti-science. Yes pasteurization kills bacteria that can be present in milk which can cause serious harm and also it kills bacteria that can be positive and people should have the

Can you name a rocket program that was delivered ahead of schedule? I'm not aware of one that exists.

Which highlights how unserious this whole thing is. SLS hardly works and is way behind schedule.

Starship is more flight ready then SLS and new Glenn. It's just not fully reusable yet, so it's not ready by Spacex standards but far ahead of anyone else in the world. They could also use falcon heavy but might as well use Starsh

Artemis is a joke. You can tell this is politically motivated by their stance on SLS. If they were serious they would give Spacex the SLS contract for being years and years behind schedule.

The big banks are larger then ever because of consolidation and inflation but I do think they're getting disrupted. I think services like Fidelity are meaningfully disrupting banks. I much rather have my money in a money market fund th

Yeah, big mistake. I consider California and New York as hostile nations when hiring.

Semantics, they should stop underwriting them.

It's crazy to cancel student loans and still keep issuing the exact same loans. If we believe the loans are unjust then the government should stop handing them out as the very first step.

Great analysis, I agree with your points.

On that point I'd agree. Death from adverse reactions to the vaccine are well below natural rates of death from covid itself, which in my mind should be the key metric.

by loourr 5y ago
You see, if the vaccine worked as originally advertised, people who are vaccinated should not contract covid. Therefor it does not work as originally advertised. Now before everyone freaks out - we've changed the claim around what a va

Yes Ukraine is a sovereign nation but NATO is not. The US and Russia have an agreement that NATO will not encroach onto Russias border which allowing Ukraine to join (a US decision) would be a violation of. It's akin to arguing that Cu

I feel that these articles rarely give any perspective on Russia's issue which is that Ukraine joining NATO would be a violation of prior agreements and would result in armaments being placed at their boarder which they view as a risk

Yes. Covid will continue to mutate to become more contagious and less deadly. This is the natural progression of endemic viruses, they don't want to kill their hosts and they want to spread.

If they controlled that many shares then it would be policy not a request. They clearly do not.

This is just woke special interest groups buying shares to be loud. Sell your shares if you don't agree. This kind of thing is going to make being a public companies less and less desirable and push more and more companies too remain p

Prime example of why people should be allowed to do this kind of investing through a retirement account. Doesn't require you to have money, just knowledge.

You're right that I mixed up pre and post but that's exactly the point. It's post tax so he's ALREADY PAID TAXs and therefor will pay nothing when the funds are distributed.

This will force hundreds of thousands of people who own shares of small businesses within their retirement accounts to disgorge them. They can't sell them to themselves because that's against the rules. If they distribute them the
