I think the cultural stance in the U.S. that to progress in life/elevate oneself/stigma against forgoing college is also a large part of it. I personally think that one policy that could have an outsized effect in solving this pro

This reads a little like the early days of self driving car optimism or factory roboticizing. Everything looks so easy with an easy rollout, but enjoy the long tail. To me, car companies and Amazon have high incentive to use robotics and a

I'd love for that to be true, but there's a good chance that in doing broad tests you are incurring costs (both to patient health and cost [whether paid by patient, gov, or insurance company]) without getting anything beyond noisy

Problem: most iconic and central street in SF has rampant problems. Solution: go elsewhere and add regulations to hotel rating about the surrounding area?? I'm sorry, but that is one of the most defeatist options I've ever heard

I wonder about World of Warcraft and can't help but think its success and place in our culture can't be replicated for a variety of reasons: -It had a very popular RTS game series that built up the lore, graphical template of the

IDK about this article. I was reliably informed earlier today by a front page article that was certain that a gut bacteria's most important job was to do nothing. (I apologize for the sarcasm, I know this isn't reddit. This is one

Start-up/Consulting idea: use ML/RL strategies and tools and help gaming companies improve their AI. In a variety of games, the AI should be a big component of gameplay (all single player games) and ends up being such a liability.

Where's the meaningful action against ISP's? In my opinion, ISP monopolies and collusion cause orders of magnitude more consumer harm than FAANG by a lot. If one is truly interested in helping out consumers, start with the less fl

I sincerely do not intend this observation to be overtly political, BUT I've often wondered about certain very progressive movements having their logical extremes come into conflict. In the US, there's been a movement to remove ge

I wonder how much of this rate is affected by patients who try immunotherapies have failed frontline treatments and then try an immunotherapy later.

I mean, this is not a good look from Facebook for the "oppressed conservative Christian minority" to be a false narrative.

How you could stop the greed of someone wanting to sell those treatments to the mass market? I imagine Mark Cubin (or any other "shark" billionaire) would fucking love to be the first trillionaire or quadrillionaire by being the p

This point 100x times. I am more paranoid about COVID than most people are because I have an autoimmune disease (which is mild and seems to not really affect outcomes). While my autoimmune caveat can be written off, I see most people seeing

People who decry climate change as a crisis but are not willing to confront the use of nuclear power lose large amounts of credibility in my opinion. Full stop.

I agree that wage growth is stagnant but I think the changes over the last 20 years of real median wages is definitely meaningful. Look at the changes from peaks in 2000, 2007 and also from a deep trough in 2012: https://fred.stl

I'm unfamiliar with the debunking of starship video, but what's there to "debunk"? Spacex is trying to build new rockets. Either the rockets fly and land, or they do not. Either the cost per launch (cost per launch paid
