If you’re interested in having an impact I highly recommend visiting https://80000hours.org/ The biggest impacts can often be made in areas that are most neglected and have high negat…

Instead of downvotes, where am I wrong?

This is great. We could pave the world with solar panels (that need replacing every few years), mining up tons of politically sensitive rare earth elements, and covering over what remains of our ecosy…

Not really. Trials are definitely accelerated, and crucial things like long-term effects are basically never tested before being released.

> it's not worth over a quarter of a million dollars What is worth a quarter million? How do you assess the value of your home?

Except it used to...You named two of the largest slave crops in history.

You forgot one: c) Minimalist-loving hipsters that read articles like this and bandwagon on Go just like any other trend (merits of the language aside). These are the same folks that use a hand crank …

https://amzn.to/2ZlI0EU This one is good. The company that makes it co2meter.com is awesome and was helpful as I was learning more. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole in general air q…

I’m surprised no one on here has mentioned CO2 levels yet. A simple CO2 monitor will tell you if your ambient co2levels are too high. Modern, newer homes are like sealed boxes and high levels can exac…

Sounds like one of hundreds or thousands Of similar stories across the world over the last 100 years, as “modern” western farming techniques and seeds were pushed on communities around the world. Jame…

What are the skills that are different managing remote vs onsite devs?

TL;DR Discussion: Neither surgical nor cotton masks effectively filtered SARS–CoV-2 during coughs by infected patients. Prior evidence that surgical masks effectively filtered influenza virus (1) inf…

Great to see this here. I started monitoring the CO2 levels in my new apartment after waking up with headaches every night since moving in. Plugged it in and the alarm started going off immediately at…

I notice all the jobs on the jobs board show onsite. Which ones are remote?

What blatant fear-mongering clickbait. That may be a marginally interesting data point, but it’s meaningless without saying the number by population. “Global epicentre of pandemic”? C’mon.

No known pre-existing conditions != no pre-existing conditions. Besides in a large enough dataset this isn't surprising.

With one exception, all “prepper” types I know are not wealthy, or even comfortably middle class. They just prioritize their sense of independence and being prepared in an emergency. Whether other dis…

That’s assuming there’s more than anecdotal data to support sewage transmission, that other transmission vectors were ruled out and that there is other cases where it’s been shown to happen. Plus thei…

When is your workplace ever certified disease free? While you’re at it, file a complaint about them making you drive to work in a car.

Do it. It’s the only way I get free slots on my calendar.

Or length of time exposed to air pollution, where smoking habit increases the likelihood of mortality?

Airplanes like tailwinds.
