At some point I did some research and the Atacama was suggested to me as the best vantage point on earth for simple skygazing. Definitely on my bucket list.

I have many concerns with this kind of funding model, but I don't think the measurement problem is so serious. Performance incentives in education typically reward improvement of t…

Additional point: wage increases not uniformly distributed, whereas costs are moreso.

I'm Swiss. My grandfather has stories of family members afflicted with Goitre. What a great read!

I love cities that embrace street food. My home (New York City) is well-regarded for street food, but I found it that it's nothing in comparison to Mexico City where a vendor seems…

The law targets short-term rentals generally, not only Airbnb specifically.

Many of us have already dealt with a 20% haircut, at least on the RSU portion of compensation. * Higher cost of borrowing is putting pressure on growth companies that relied on che…

I think you're conflating the standard english word "optimal" with mathematical optimization.

There is no such thing as a published scientific journal available to only one country. Nobody is saying that the government can't fund private research (as it surely does in the c…

I'm not an expert in this area. But a fairer comparison would be a US service like Venmo. In my experience Fraudulent payments with venmo are much harder to recover. I think a lot …

I agree when it comes to plans. But in general, aren't there some cases where we want to moderate our communication based on how it will be received? Honesty is the right default, …
