Not sure why this is being downvoted. The UK has been intentionally deindustrialising since the 1980s and has essentially lost most of its industrial capability already. What remains is essentially assembly and finishing (i.e. our car manufacturing industry should be more accurately termed as car assembly) This was done first because this was the easiest way for Thatcher to break the unions, and then because it turned out that focussing on services (now 80% of the UK economy and 40-50% of our exports) was more productive anyway for the UK (and locally produced a better environment as we essentially exported our pollution). Of course with Brexit we've reduced our ability to export services to our biggest market and so ironically may actually see a boost to manufacturing as it becomes relatively more profitable, especially since the Tories intend to reduce worker and environmental protections which is why they fought so hard against including none regression clauses in the Brexit deal.

To determine its level of SBSA would take hours of reading the spec and testing each thing in the spec, and I doubt that very many people care about SBSA.

I think we're saying the same thing. The disease model itself is necessarily limited. Sure you have a molecule that hits the target, great. But the struggle comes from being able to get that molecule to target in vivo without causing toxic effects.

Maybe we're just missing on how we're using words. I don't see how having a better disease model necessarily gets you to a better place on this. Sure, you can get better SAR and can decrease the dose. But as you point out, dosage is not just a function of SAR.

Having better tox models seems like the highest value, albeit very difficult, route here. Which to me is a separate, more general, problem than a specific disease model.

Not a sound argument.

That article puts the price of a new 5-room apartment in 2010 at $448,700 Singapore dollars (USD $337,000 at today's exchange rate). That's about 50% of the NYT's cited 2BR=USD$750k that doesn't even include the price of the land.

San Francisco as a political entity has neither the will nor the project management capacity to build anything at reasonable prices.
> Is it sustainable?

Yes. Unlike coal, oil, and natural gas — which are dug out of the ground and burned — the stuff you dig out of the ground to make PV and wind turbines can be recycled into more PV and wind turbines when the products reach end-of-life.
This,

I want an alternative, high interest savings accounts and CD used to be a good safe place for some savings, now your losing value relative to inflation.

A mixed portfolio makes no sense. Nobody has a pension, everyones retirement is in the market, none of this seems good to me long term, all very fragile.

Either your in stocks or Bitcoin at this point or your at negative rates relative to inflation.
It's interesting that they're comparing against the 10 year bond yield to basically prove what the market knew 4 years ago when Europe started flirting with negative interest rates - TINA - There Is No Alternative, you can't put your money in a CD, savings account, or bonds, and expect to get a decent yield / return on your money. So people put their money into the stocks of dividend aristocrats (companies that have increased and maintained dividends over long periods of time) to be "bond-proxies." This pushed up those prices a lot. But no matter where you are, it seems there's not much easy money, unless you're a private VC investor.

I think the real lesson here is everyone is getting squeezed out. I feel like the other shoe is going to drop some day, but who knows when. The weaker hands (poorer people) will inevitably fold first, increasing wealth inequality, as it usually does.

By any other measure they look far too expensive for the current economic outlook.
I would love for this to be a thing. I always try to buy quality products but it has become increasingly difficult to find things that will last. It doesn't help that a product that was once quality could be changed with little to no notice to consumers.

And the saying "you get what you pay for" doesn't hold out anymore either. Lots of things nowadays are both expensive to buy and cheaply made.

I've always wondered whether payloads weren't super-expensive precisely because the launches were, too.

I mean, if you are spending hundreds of millions to launch something, that something better work once up there, right? So you spend 20 years engineering a "perfect" payload, the costs do what they always do, and now you have a billion-dollar payload.

But if a launch was $2M and bookable with a month's lead time, you'd just de-risk the whole thing by having a simple-to-build, likely-to-work payload. Or ten.

(This might not apply to something like the JWST specifically, since even a terrestial mirror of that size is a huge challenge. But I bet a lot of other kinds of science payloads will be built very differently a decade from now.)
This game is quite fun. It gets hard quite quickly, and makes you think in new and interesting ways.
> It is hard to beat the economies of scale of a restaurant, as much as the "you only need to factor the cost of raw food" camp like to tell otherwise. From a purely economic perspective, a kitchen at home, when other sources of food are widely available, is tough to justify.

It really depends what one eats. If one is okay with eating widely available low cost foods, then yes, commercial kitchens are more efficient. For example, Burger King here will sell you a three whopper, three cheeseburger, and three fries family meal for $14.99 (silicon valley prices, likely lower in the rest of the nation). Pretty hard to compete against that if one considers the cost of making a burger from scratch and cleaning up the mess from deep frying at home.

But fast food is a low margin high volume business. Looking at higher margin items, like what you'd eat in a steakhouse, the economics of a kitchen change dramatically. For example, I recently bought four USDA prime tenderloins from Costco for roughly $58 total. Each one of them, plated and served, would be $35 to $50, excluding taxes and tip. Given that cooking those is pretty easy (either with just an inexpensive cast iron pan and oven, or using sous vide if one wants to get fancy) and takes a grand total of five to ten minutes to make, then the kitchen becomes a much better value proposition.

And that's saying nothing of people with restrictive diets, where oftentimes it's just easier to cook at home. Depending on which friend I'm dining with, the restrictions might be celiac (strict no gluten, not fad diet no gluten), low/no carb, pescatarian, vegan, religious dietary restrictions, nut allergies, and so on. Sometimes the combinations basically exclude most of the restaurants out there, and at that point, it's easier to cook at home than go out only to be restricted to a few items in the menu.

The article is written with filler words to buff up a simple idea: stock market is now more attractive than ever compared to bond market (I am not expect in financial jargons, so could be wrong), because the interest rate is so low.

I did for a short while, and am thinking about it again in the new year. I find it quite valuable when you are seeking change in your career, or when you are in a leadership role. It does not seem as helpful if you are an individual contributor primarily focused on tech skills.

My recommendation is to ask them what they specialize in and how their background helps them deliver value in those areas. Coaching has no specific credentials or training, while at the same time there are a plethora of non-required training courses and certifications that claim to be the "right" way to become a coach. So you have everything from someone with no experience who just slapped up a website declaring themselves a coach, to people who have sincerely put years of effort into learning and practicing. They all have different approaches, backgrounds, and skills.

You'll get the most out of it if you can identify what goals you want to achieve by working with a coach, and then consulting with them to see whether or not they are the right person to help you with those goals.

One problem I have with BIFL is that the people who post are usually posting an older version of the product that has survived through time. However, many times manufacturers will change up the product to be worse such that if you bought the same product today, it would not last as long as the older version did. In other words, people posting on BIFL are exhibiting survivorship bias. Is this something that can be solved here?
We are discussing a memoir of a man's life working in the Bay area and living just outside the same.

It's also surprising considering how high crime is in San Francisco. In terms of real estate you should be getting a discount to take on the risk of living there, not the other way around.
Missed economics class? It's basic supply and demand. Rent control doesn't do anything to make housing affordable for people trying to get an apartment in the city, all it does is make it near impossible to find an affordable unit (because people who are under rent control are unwilling to move), and push up the price of non controlled units.

Yes, but, this particular guy was working in the suburbs of an expensive coastal city, while living in an exurb.

That's obviously not universal. But it is certainly the story of THIS guy, as well as many tens of millions of other Americans.
> Most of our meats don't come from animals living on mountain ranges, that's too expensive.

It's also an ecological mess. Cows aren't native to North American mountain ranges and are tremendously destructive. Also, native predators get hunted to protect the non-native cattle which causes an even bigger environmental mess.

> On the flip side, that same 2 acres if farmed can easily feed about ~2 cows.

Yes? But it's a terrible practice. The cows end up piled atop each other in big barns waste deep in their own shit. Then they end up draining the barns into massive shit ponds which have to be filtered with large RO systems. The densely packed cattle are in such poor health they are over-medicated to prevent disease and that medication ends up in the food chain.

Pasture raised beef is just much better. I'd just as soon we limited how much total beef was raised and did it in pastures rather than corn-fed barn raised beef. Its more humane and while it's not been proven, the large amounts of antibiotics in barn raised beef is almost certain to have effects on humans who eat that beef.
Veblen goods are a special case that prove the concept. With a Veblen good the price paid is part of the demand: you want that Rolls Royce or Lamborghini or diamond ring because its expense signifies your social status. The demand curve then slopes upward: at higher price points consumers demand them more. You can still analyze them by supply & demand, but you just have to take into account the upward-sloping demand curve (which is not unlimited, BTW: Veblen goods still reach an equilibrium price point where supply reaches buyer's ability to pay, it's just higher).
The above is concerned with sciences, not engineering.

Applied science (engineering) is imo applicable and of use to all of the 3 categories:

The notion of 'measurement' is fundamental to empirical inquiry and EEs have gifted us with many high fidelity devices that measure things. Does that mean Empiricism "includes Electrical Engineering"?

EE's can also give computer scientists with machines to compute. The EE part is the mechanism. Why you even create the device, and what it does, is CS.

Deductive sciences also use the same computational machines to automate proofs.

An anthropomorphic family homily of science would go something like this: Father Rationality and Mother Mathematics had 3 children called Empirical, Deductive, and Computational. They shared many toys.
I always thought that most of the construction workers in SF are illegal immigrants from Mexico and have been for the last 30 years or more.

I always thought that there were about 8 million illegal immigrants in California, then 9/11 happened, but even after 9/11 the number never dipped below 1 or 2 million -- and if it got that low, it was only for a few years.

Also, I thought that when the numbers have gone down, from 8 million to 4 million, say, it is more because of an increase in economic opportunity in Mexico than it is because of an increase in the effectiveness of US border control.

And I thought that even with all his talk, Trump didn't improve US border control significantly.

But I don't have any direct motive to stay informed on this issue. E.g., I don't hire cheap workers. So it is possible I am misinformed.
Apparently without the one-child policy the population would have been ... roughly the same? Looks like most the demographic trends were already locked in before and didn't change much after it ended either.

But really, the population-level malthusians have it wrong. Greater population has both helped drive innovation, economies of scale and innovation. What we need to do is direct our attention and fiscal polices to where this fails. Like pollution, carbon emissions, overfishing, etc ... If we can either tax these failures, or set up sustainable markets, or innovate our way out of them we should. We should be putting tremendous amounts of time and money to these problems (and we are, but clearly not enough). If the price the trust cost of the problems, you'll get behavioral changes throughout the economy. That will include choices like how many children to have, but also industrial policies and practices that probably have more direct impacts on our ability to sustainably thrive on this planet.

The government could just guarantee housing for a fixed price. That fixed price becomes the upper bound and all private market participants would have to bid lower than this upper bound.

This doesn't happen because those who have a political say don't actually want more housing. My proposed idea would force the government to actually solve the problem after all. If there is not enough housing the government would be forced to build it as a last resort and if the government can't do so because of the laws it has enacted then it can change those laws but that's exactly what must be avoided at all costs if you were to ask existing homeowners.
You could consider reviewing how others do it. There's a reason why less and less want to host their comments and outsource that instead. Comment = write access to your site. You don't want that.

If the developer can get permission to build 3-5 story apartments on the lot

wouldn't that only work for a single unit? Like, yes, if inside a single-family-zoned block a unit would get a special permission to be the only one to build high density, sure that piece of land would be more valuable than before.

But if the whole block gets rezoned, then there's a race to the bottom.

Rent control increases market rates for rent by constricting available supply.

It can decrease your rent if you never move, but that decreases the liquidity of the market, and traps you in a crappy small apartment for longer than you’d live in it otherwise.
Famous last words, but: I wouldn't be entirely surprised if, in 10 years' time, we'll hear the same lamentations about the stock market as we do about housing.
