Without reading the study in detail, I feel like 4,483 is too few people to detect an effect like this because you can’t easily control for how much vitamin d people get from the sun.

They’re pretty good though. And also cheaper. The same argument could be made of chips.

FWIW, try not to act on that assumption being correct. Because if you’re wrong, you now have two illnesses simultaneously...

To be a dungeon master is effectively to achieve AGI. It’s... not realistic. Current NLP systems have mapped out what language means, and can use that to generate text. But they have no idea what the text means. It requires incredible knowl

That is... false. Trading down consistently only works if you’re playing with idiots. Trading a high value property for a low value property makes sense if you get a color set, but if you do this multiple times with bare minimum competence

No no no The trend in board games right now is legacy board games, where the game maintains state after each session. What you really want is legacy monopoly. Where the winners of early games maintain their monopoly, and face a proletariat

Subscription is the opposite of what you want for a product that nobody wants 95% of the time but then everybody wants 5% of the time. As a supplier you would be locked in to selling at a given price while your costs skyrocket.

People generally aren’t going to use them correctly, aren’t going to change them frequently enough, are likely to touch their face frequently if not used to the mask, and aren’t nearly as concerned about infecting others so much as protecti

That’s not a fair thing to say. Closing businesses doesn’t guarantee anything about the virus. The halting of economic activity, even temporarily, can devastate people’s lives because it doesn’t always come back and many people already live

Housing is an essential. You can’t just go homeless without significant consequences. That’s not “voluntary”. Just moving somewhere else is not always viable. To prove an extreme case, if I point a gun at you and say “$1k or I shoot”, you’r

Your other comments suggest you are in, or are pursuing, a FAANG internship. The target audience of this piece... is you. The wisdom being preached is that although you may be set to acquire wealth, you may find yourself feeling existential

New Jersey gas pumpers seem like a close approximation here. They provide a legally mandated service which I find makes my day worse.

The fact that only he knew is really the crucial point here. That gives him incredible opportunity to sway the conversation. He also has the ability to cherry-pick which recordings to choose. If you want open talks, they need to be done so

That’s hilarious. Any idea what else was in them? I’d presume they were basically tasty cocktails so as not to taste like alcohol. But perhaps they were made to taste awful?

What bothers me is the difficulty in interpreting such numbers because they’re not normalized to health. E.g. dropping sperm counts in men. Is that dropping in all men? Or is it a side effect of rising obesity in enough men to dent the aver

It seems probable that the more boring finance is, the more momentum mainstream equities have, and the more irrational it becomes. If everybody pours their money into a us equity index every month, the value of us stocks will go up, absent

Ok, but Google says open heart surgery costs $324,000! Which is probably a huge variance number... My point is not that stents > open heart surgery, but rather that they’re not at all easy to compare.

I feel like I have to disagree. I did a masters there a few years ago, and lived in somerville for 2700/mo in a large 3BR split with two roomies. So very cheap. The commute was just about 25 minutes on very affordable, very comfortable
