That's why some team sports have imposed salary cap limits.

Let's not forget Deflategate. Wherever the balls come from, sometimes they're tamperable.

The Romans were already quite good at it long before that, too.

Some very interesting thoughts there. I agree with the gist of your views. Have you read any books in developing these thoughts? If so, what can you recommend?

> If this is really such an easy way to make a city grow economically why aren't the artists making money off of this to fund their next move? How would they do that?

Right. One scenario could be: escaped from the lab with a technician who visited the wet market on the way home from work, sparking the first identifiable cluster.

I would say it matters for future considerations. Gain of function research is happening in many places. Leaks can happen. An unrelated virus could cause another pandemic if there …

My wife is a researcher and says she can often guess who the authors are when she performs reviews because it's her domain and their references and context tend to give it away. Bu…

"Everyone" is a strong word. I'd wager you could find impressive achievements by quite a few business people with Imposter Syndrome. Believing you can succeed isn't necessary, or I…

I've been thinking about this issue of unknown, unacknowledged, or perhaps subconscious religion a lot lately. I grew up religious but am now an atheist, and though I haven't sough…

Thanks for the reference. I'm going to add that to my reading list.

I agree. I think there's such an interest in seeing the genius behind a work which actually involves the collaboration of a group to actually succeed. Just like in team sports. The…

I had some symptoms in mid-March as well, and actually on my birthday noticed I couldn't smell or taste nearly as well as normal. It was very apparent because I work as a barista, …

Pretty much every country has it. Khrushchev implemented their mass deployment in the Soviet Union to stem a housing crisis (I think maybe even as one of his earliest actions as ch…

A researcher I know says it's because the publication date corresponds to the release date of the issue of the journal the article is being published in, though it's common article…

> I don't think I'd want to be ultra-wealthy (as in a billionaire+). At that point you're almost removed from society. I imagine you end up moving in circles with other ultra-wealt…

It's illegal in Denmark to have your face covered. There are a few exceptions, but I don't think "I don't want my face identified" would fly. It seems to go directly against the in…

I didn't touch on it, but there is largely a negative connotation with Amager. Its nickname is "lorteøen" which translates to "shit island." Also, to be more accurate, it would be …

Just to point out, Copenhagen isn't (entirely) located on Amager, as the article suggests. Part of it is, but that's only a couple of neighborhoods in the city which is composed of…

That's a puzzling take. I see where you went with it, but I'm inclined to think of writing as already including the recipient. Such as when I write notes for myself. Often, I'm kee…

I've been lamenting this demise of Google over the last year or two, but it's been especially foul the last few months. Similar to your biking anecdote, I was trying to find any si…

I've been consumed with this idea since going back to France for a few days after living there for five months almost 10 years earlier. I had the experience of trying to learn Dani…

"(T)he problems with post WWII "social science", "political science", "psychology", "architecture" are precisely that they're trying to ape the physical sciences and not just be ar…

"This whole story just doesn't add up. Even from the start, it never did. How could Walker and his cronies have ever fallen for any of this?" Just a guess, sadly, they probably had…
