What you describe in your diet is significant calorie restriction...

Great point. This Board nearly destroyed one of the world's great tech companies and they are STILL in charge after not being held accountable or admitting their mistakes over the …

Companies can decide today that they don't need near-perfect accuracy in bookkeeping to save a few bucks and no one does that. One of the major factors is regulatory requirements. …

For me, It does bother me that some of my friendships I make most, or nearly all of the initiative, but I get so much from the friendship when we do talk / meet up, it's worth it f…

Cowen is a unique talent in the world. One of the most smartest people you'll ever read or speak to. It seems he has at least a modest understanding of important topics in almost a…

Your best argument for defending the CCP committing genocide is to Whatabout Slavery? AN institution that ended over 150 years ago?

Alcohol has been scientifically proven to cause long-term health consequences to children. It is also an incredibly addictive and dangerous substance that often results in lifetime…

I'm not sure a country that commits cultural genocide and sent a million or more Muslim Uighurs into reeducation camps is where you should be looking for a "better system". Forced …

If you live in a place like the Bay Area/NYC where cities/local zoning boards are preventing almost and and all new construction then in all likelihood your home price will continu…

"the statistics would disagree with you on how representative a random draw of several hundred would be in this situation" The observations in your original citation were NOT NOT N…

>Your response is extremely typical - just generally stated principles bordering in their generality on banality and without any ounce of data. Y'see in SCIENCE we have this genera…

Lol so Elon has faked his Stanford PhD and no one in the world has dared step forward to call him out? There are literally dozens of people who could prove this wrong if it's false…

>Musk was not a Stanford PhD nor a founder, if that's who you are referring to. If you can point me to any evidence of either that doesn't come from him, I'll be happy to stand cor…

It's weird that you are certain this study is a gold-standard for medicine when nothing anywhere close to this has been shown in any other country. It's an incredibly small sample …

So you bring up the "I have the DATA!" Trump card and then when asked to provide it your response is, "well, no, where is YOUR DATA?" That long Covid is a pernicious result for man…

"Whatever you think of them, the Tesla fanboys have been proven more right then wrong" I'm not sure why that's interesting or important. The Tesla fanboys had no special insight in…

Plenty to criticize Tesla and Elon about, to be sure, but a lot of Elon's predictions have turned out to be true at least when it comes to passenger vehicles. What they've done wit…

You're mostly right but I don't see anything going on in the markets today as much different than how it has fundamentally operated over the past century or so. Hell, much of the s…

Dwayne Johnson has been the highest paid film actor for a couple years in a row now. And I think claiming Leo is "cooler" and better as an actor is a bit silly. Dwayne is an action…

You're attributing the surge in rental supply in a major city during the pandemic entirely to Airbnb? This is really lazy, unserious analysis. Housing supply in cities across the e…

I never said there was no effect, in fact I said the opposite. The effect is relatively small (a few percentage points) compared to other factors, which bears out through empirical…

The answer to your question is that people in Bed Stuy and NYC in general organize against ALL new construction.

I'm assuming you're in California. Their property tax laws are absolutely insane but good luck ever changing it.

The effect of Airbnb on the price of housing is pretty small, maybe a few percentage increase. Not saying that isn't worth doing something about but there it certainly wouldn't be …
