What's the correlation of people who hate on crypto who lost money or missed out on it?
We're considering moving from the US altogether. My family is jewish and made their way to the US during the holocaust. We're ironically using that status to get citizenship and potentially move to Germany or Austria.
Re:Launch HN: Epihub (YC S20) – Shopify for teaching online on Wednesday August 19, 2020 @07:14PM (#24217957)
Great idea. Not crazy about the name though because it doesn’t evoke anything. I would consider changing.

Why not go all the way with the Shopify analogy and call it Teachify?

Comparing eras doesn't seem very useful. 90 years ago my grandma got one orange as a present once a year. Today people buy bags of oranges every day.

Day-by-day the world is zero sum.

So because a homeless person today has $1, can sleep under a bridge in a jacket they got from Goodwill rather than $0.05 like 50 years ago or sleeping under a tree possibly getting eaten by wolves, this means the world is positive sum?

Standard of living has improved generally over time, but day by day the world is a zero-sum game.

Show me what that math looks like where there is a positive number to the left of the equal sign.
I'm confused. How could the argument about Gates' philanthropic motives been obvious for decades but those about economic inequality not been simultaneously obvious?

It's all one in the same problem. Philanthropy comes from wealth accumulation.

What's the tangible evidence that the world is a positive-sum game? The tangible evidence to me seems to suggest it's a zero-sum game. E.g., a product costs $X, owners get too large of a % of that compared to employees.
overly complicated.

Nike Behavior model is easier: just do it.

I didn't say anything about the strength of the idea. Her Stanford credentials are irrelevant. It's still an ad.

This is an ad.

In general, you don't want to take anything if you can.

Drugs usually inhibit biological processes. Metformin inhibits mitochondria. This can be good for diabetes and good for aging, but it depends. Hopefully your doctor understands when to prescribe it.

I get it. Funding saving life on earth isn't predictable like some $10/month SAAS like this. Doesn't make the pain that humans choose money over earth every time less painful.
will be interesting to see the salary hacks employees come up with
Maybe companies shouldn’t exist if they have to go to these lengths to thwart their employees.
It’s not surprising infectious agents contribute to neurodegeneration. They are an insult to your body.

Much like a car rusting out over time due to salt in the winters.

Aging and infectious agents are both environmental insults. The cell doesn't care so much about the difference. Result is the same.

Great. Now do zuckerberg. Perhaps inarguably more mass destruction.
You fell into the "doesn't work on me, so it doesn't work on anyone" trap.
This is not very specific. Lipids like Oxysterols and phospholipids are altered in many diseases. Need a little more information to understand the specificity of the defect.

It's often said that if the writing is dense, the writer probably doesn't understand what they are saying. Being in academia for 20 years now this seems spot-on.
