This has been an ongoing area of research for at least a decade in Alzheimer's. People with worse teeth/gums get Alzheimer's more often and decline quicker. But no one has been abl…

I wonder what was going on in her life that made her say, "I want to spend the next 43 days rowing alone across the ocean."

The timing doesn't matter because monopoly -> enshittification was always the plan. Hence FAANG were valued with the expectation that they could turn the profit knob at the right t…

I would have liked the essay more if PG had actually engaged with AOC's claims. He just does some math and shows that exponential growth is fast. What did the founder have to do to…

You seem to be confusing "listing" - the stock exchange where a company chooses its stock to trade (i.e. NYSE, AmEx, Nasdaq) with "indexes" - a list of stocks that is often the bas…

FYI you can get Money Stuff delivered by email without a Bloomberg subscription.

I'm astounded that they've been able to keep that domain name.

Sure didn't seem like it.

It's not just Schwab, there aren't any options traded on BIRD. And shorting is not a guarantee. First you have to find a borrow, which if it's available probably costs >1000% annua…

Yes this would defeat it, but standard practice is that you can keep betting a couple rotations into the spin. The reason for that is that some people believe the croupier can targ…

You neglected to mention: - It was company policy to keep coffee excessively hot (180-190 degrees Fahrenheit, vs 140 or so for coffee brewed at home). This was to make customers dr…

> Not very smart itself. How sad to reduce the whole thing to ignorant stereotypes It's hard to call it an ignorant stereotype when it is the explicit policy of some police departm…

There are easily hundreds of compounds that can reduce beta-amyloid in vitro. This is a decade-old nothingburger.

I don't think that's obvious at all. I think there are obviously a mix of wars where the outcome was inevitable, and where it was decided through a series of one or more battles. I…

Sovereign like Putin.

No, there'll always be a new trick.

Do you think their lives would be substantially better if they had been arrested and sentenced to lengthy prison terms? Alcohol can have a well-documented destructive effect on peo…

It's weird that people argue it's better for you to consume extra burned plant material to get to the same level of high-ness. If it's stronger, people just use less.

Continuing the analogy, it does mean that they can blame the alcohol and not, say, rohypnol for their outcomes.

Low European salaries are other reason why brain drain fears are overblown.

Somehow, the "Everything is Corrupt" folks always end up supporting the most corrupt president in our history.

Horizon Europe funds everything — physics, engineering, social sciences, climate, agriculture, digital technology, space, and health. And its budget is still less than 1/3rd of the…

>The real risk of drain is people leaving their fields of expertise to never return. That is happening right now, all the time! Especially in the biomed field! Many, many PhDs spen…

> many countries are increasing funding substantially (e.g. [1]). This illustrates exactly my point. Canada is planning on spending up to CAD$1.7B over 12 years . That is equivalen…
