Palantir is down 8% as of this comment post. Nice call Burry.
In our medical practice, we would use intermittent fasting as part of a comprehensive medical plan to increase longevity. There are studies which demonstrate this is beneficial, at least in Macaque monkeys. Weight loss was just a nice side effect.

Another explanation is that there is significantly more value in doing licensing deals:

TLDR;

• As people get older, their brain connections start to break down faster in midlife (around 40–60 years) because brain cells don’t use sugar as well. • Giving the brain a different fuel called ketones can help keep those connections strong during this middle‐age window. • This suggests that helping the brain get fuel in midlife could keep it healthier and slow down memory problems later on.

You can ingest ketones on their own (generally expensive supplements), but this article is more interesting in that a ketogenic diet (very low carbs) may have similar benefits.

You were typing on a keyboard in the 1900s huh? ;) Same here - in the 1990s I made the same decision, and it was one of the best of my life. Cheers.

I’m a technical founder and would be happy to chat. Glad to try to point you to the next step, give a big picture overview of technical requirements, and possibly even be involved if we are a good match. Feel free to drop me a line [email protected]

Much appreciated, thank you
Re:7 is the largest prime followed by a cubic number on Monday September 03, 2018 @03:12PM (#17904350)
The proof states: "For n to be prime either x² + x + 1 = 1 or x - 1 = 1"

Could somebody tell me why each of the factor components must be equal to one?

Sorry, can't resist. The work you are looking for is word.
Re:Ask HN: Your best passive income sources? on Sunday November 03, 2013 @11:48AM (#6663839)
After making nearly $0 per month for the first year (yes, you read that correctly), http://www.pingmate.com now generates excellent RR, though the first year was far from passive.
