By chance I just talked to someone with deeper knowledge on this and they said the current constraint is actually ramping up supply of the delivery mechanism, not the drug. I have …

I wonder if a more workable arrangement would stipulate that indigenous people are exempt from these regulations only when the work and management of a project is also designed and…

No, it is really how it works, (as I caveated) most of the time. I don't understand what you're arguing here. Is your claim that most of that government deficit was not spent in th…

No, that's a bad analogy. It's more like I borrowed 8% of my annual income this year, and then bought 4% more than last year. If I hadn't borrowed all that money, I wouldn't have b…

Appreciate you fighting the good fight here, but this one is actually a valid point. If real GDP growth is at 4.9% while the government deficit is at 5.3% of GDP, (in most cases) G…

The 8% deficit listed above _is_ a percentage of total GDP of the whole country (although the Fed has it at only 5.3%). The numbers are directly comparable. https://fred.stlouisfed…

The comment I'm replying to claimed fewer people _want_ jobs in a system such as Germany's.

Odd then that the USA has a much lower labor force participation rate than Germany.

I think that's fair so long as you exclude e.g. sailing "athletes."

I'd be curious to know how much the ~25pt asian-white SAT score gap is explained by ALDC students. In other words-- how much harder is it for a non-ALDC asian student to get into H…

The savings from turning household heat down during the day aren't trivial, but they aren't very large either. You can keep your heat ~10-20°F lower during the day when you're not …

Thank you!

Do you know of an example snippet / article demonstrating how to do this?

Although the national mandate was struck down, some states have their own mandate.

It serves the important function of giving journos an opportunity to interview business consultants about what CEOs think of their employees' poop breaks. Which, in generating lots…

I understand-- I looked it up, and although they're only buying Airbus going forward, most of their 10-across fleet is still 777: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_fleet

I'm pretty ignorant of airplane models, Air France flight but it was a large plane so may have been a Boeing 777.

Before landing on the last flight I was on, the flight attendants requested that everyone turn off their phones (even if in airplane mode) due to the weather conditions while landi…

> AÍ imagemaking doesn’t compare really to spending 10 hours agonising over lighting a shot which is what I love I sympathize with you a lot here. But it's not really a new problem…

Yeah, the cutoff points for any rule of thumb are going to be fairly arbitrary. I don't understand why people are treating this like a profound observation.

Are you genuinely asking for advice on what to do? It seems like your options are embrace the new tech, find a niche where you can outcompete it, or find a new way to support yours…
