I think he means that even if you believe that power is zero sum (debatable) the system in which that power extends is not. E.g. technological advancement can shift power away from violent storms, earthquakes, viruses, etc and into humanities hands. Thus I think it's pretty clear that 'power among humanity' would not be zero sum

I'm a bit on the younger side (23) but I've used online dating almost exclusively for finding partners over the past 2 years. Being a bit of a numbers freak, I downloaded a copy of all my data from Tinder and made a Sankey diagram with it and it ended up being pretty cool to look at: https://imgur.com/a/ueNmDlZ

The article compares caffeine vs. no-caffeine but I'd be interested to see how caffeine compares to other additives. For all we know H2O could do the same thing

Except this is how the internet works now. If this shouldn't be allowed then we should be banning it for all companies (including Google, just about every ad-serving website, and even the NYT themselves), not just the current scapegoat of the year, FB.

And if you add in sperm lost in condoms to life expectancy then the view also changes.

Certainly not a problem in hostels

Even if it were less efficient currently, I think energy production will quickly snap over to renewables quickly once it becomes economically advantageous. Cars and trucks will have to be gradually phased out over a 10-20+ year period so getting a head start on this would probably pay out in the long term

Is anyone surprised that 11 year-old Johnny "didn't realize" he was spending money? Sounds like parents looking to blame anybody but themselves.

Nope. Definitely use it a bit less because I've realized that there aren't that really any benefits of using it for anything other than messaging/events. Despite the shitstorm against them from NYT/HN I really couldn't care less about what they do with the data I willingly share on their platform

Have we really gotten to the point where "some dude quit Facebook" is considered news? The fact that the NYT has degenerated to this is disappointing. While there are certainly fair criticisms of Facebook, this trigger friendly news coverage of the company is becoming outrageous and is detracting from any previous viable points.
