I'm not sold on labor unions being the primary factor in this, though they may contribute, because construction costs in the US are so much higher than countries like France, which has even stronger labor unions and stricter regulation. I find it hard to believe that US labor unions are able to extract so much more value than their French counterparts.

I think a bigger culprit is excessive local control and zoning restrictions, wielded to benefit property owners or to bleed developers and generate revenue for city governments. The shocking part, IMO, is that these costs far outweigh the cost added by notoriously strong French labor unions and EU regulation.

As far as I'm concerned, the government is free to innovate, as long as my daily life (and that of my fellow Americans) is not part of what's being experimented with. We have the entire corpus of world history to refer to for experimental data on government policy -- let's use it as much as possible. Social crises aren't worth creating for the data they yield.

Regarding technical innovation, NASA did a lot of that in the 1960s. There were a lot of failures then (Mercury and Gemini programs), followed by incredible success (Apollo program). NASA's work with SpaceX is another great form of innovation -- pick the most innovative commercial partners and move forward.
I don't think informed reputation is relevant when we're talking about procurement from enterprises or government outside of more "technology native" companies.

> If we look at it from stocks, if Tesla bought a million shares of random X penny stock, and then Elon Musk tweeted that this random penny stock is now amazing. And then once it reached $10 they sold 10% at 1000% percent profit. That's illegal, so why is crypto not?

I'm pretty sure that is legal as long as you disclose that you own it. I think you're allowed to:

1. say: "I own a stock."
2. say: "It's a great stock."
3. (stock price goes up)
4. (sell stock)

And intuitively, this should be legal. If you disclose your position, you should be able to talk about how great it is, as long as you don't lie.

Things were different when you had to ask for a refill, and understood you'd be paying for two drinks to get it.

Then you get specials that make the unlimited soda effectively $0.30 or whatever. Ugh.

- I’ll take your word for it, but building above ground seems easier.

- NYC is old. We still have steam pipes in active use, and it predates the subway. Also, asbestos. Nor is every city at the same scale.

- How do you quantify the amount of tax money that comes in, because the subway enables business? Home taxes are very low in NYC, because of the amount of money generated from business.

Rent is high near any station, unless it’s a completely run down neighborhood.

It also enables immigrants and students in a way that car-heavy cities can’t match. I know because I was this immigrant and student.

There is much greater consumption of processed food today than 30 years ago. "Food science" wasn't so clever back then, so the boxed and premade foods were not especially tasty.

Now they can be addictively tasty. And in these busy times with lots of things grabbing our attention, premade foods - even ones which would appear to be made up of all good ingredients - are the easy choice.

To give processed foods a longer shelf life, they need more salt; but to compensate and make them palatable they then need more sugar. So even ignoring the less clear downsides of how processing might affect the chemistry, the simple observation is that foods have more added sugar or sweeteners now than ever before.

In human history, that's a pretty rapid and significant change... much like the body shape changes that have occurred during the same 30 years.

Actual lobbying is such a small part of the money that goes to politicians that it's a red herring.

The source of corruption is through PACs that support candidates without the candidates consent or guidance (either ostensibly or actually).

You can either give a candidate a few thousand dollars directly or you can spend an unlimited amount of money telling people how great you think the candidate is. Only the former is lobbying.

The simple answer is that Congress has not yet passed laws that truly define what Cryptocurrencies are in the eyes of the government. To the IRS, it is merely property and is taxed as such. The SEC would like to regulate Bitcoin and Altcoins as securities, but securities law was never designed with these things in mind. That's why the penny-stock pumping example would be regulated, but doing the same thing with an Altcoin is permissible. Eventually, I expect Congress will pass some sort of law on the subject. I hope it's not too restrictive on ordinary citizens who own crypto.

What we're seeing is a wild west and I don't think it will last much longer.

General advice out there includes lower stress, lose weight, keep active, get sleep, weightlifting is good, cardio is good but maybe not too much, IF may be good. Scientific studies are good but it takes a lot of work to even prove directionality it seems at times.

So please, lay on me the personal anecdata of what you've seen give good results in a safe way. My own anecdote, years back I did martial arts training which seemed to send my sex drive and aggression through the roof. A large component of this was isometric stance training so I've tried incorporating that a few times a week and am seeing some striking changes in sexual function. Could that also be more sunshine, walking, fresh vegetables in diet? Could be, yes, but changes have been evident.

Can anyone else report good results from their own experiences?
> Perhaps all of this negativity around sugar can be explained by the fact that sugar is calorie-dense and calorie-dense foods tend to make people fat.

Sugar is less calorie dense than fat, and this kind of naive reductionist CICO thinking would tend to support the war on fat that preceded recognition of the problems associated with sugar.

It’s true that humans are not well adapted to deal with persistent surplus, but sugary persistent surplus seems to be a particular problem.

My rough understanding is that in the US the State can compel silence but not compel speech. Warrant canaries take this reasoning to an untested extreme, but it seems safe to assume that ordering Signal to tell elaborate lies about its subpoena responses would not fly in court.
HFCS varies between ~40 to ~55 percent fructose. Compare this with sucrose (table sugar) which is 50% fructose. If it were the case that HFCS had an outstanding effect on health, it would be in the non-sugar part of the HFCS.

I think the simple explanation reflects reality the best: the diet in the US and now the rest of the world contains more foods which are rich in sugars and oils, which are highly processed and therefore easily digested, and which were designed to stimulate cravings to facilitate eating and sales.

Rich foods are more calorie dense. Since satiety is partly related to volume of food consumed, rich foods can provide sufficient calories without diminishing hunger.

Highly processed foods are effectively partially pre-digested. This increases the energy availability of the foods. For example, you will get more calories from white flour than from whole wheat flour than from wheat berries.

Finally, products that have been successful are ones that sell more. For food marketers, the goal is to optimize the "bliss point", which is a balance between salt, sugar, and fat content. This is important because, in the past, when people's lives became more sedentary, they ate less in response. Targeting the bliss point has reversed that trend.
> he will never, in a scientific study, demonstrate the ill-effects of consuming apples, while another group consumes the same equivalent amount of raw fructose extract.

I can imagine lots of reasons for not running this study. Maybe there's no funding or interest in it. Or maybe it falls short of proving what you're hoping it proves. Or maybe he's busy with a dozen other things. I have no idea. It's certainly an effort that needs to be justified. Just saying he isn't doing something isn't particularly enlightening. Much better would be if you could link to some other study on this and show the results didn't match what he claims.

> In his talk he mentions the healthy Japanese but he does not mention that they eat more calories from fructose (in percentage of their consumed calories) than USA citizens yet are healthier.

No comment on Lustig in general, but 3 comments on your criticism:

- He literally says in his talk that the Japanese diet "eliminates fructose". So it's not really that he doesn't mention what you're saying; he actually claims the opposite is true, so he addresses this head-on. Do you have a link or something (for those who don't know) that show's he's wrong about this you could share? You could try to shoot down down his argument if you show he's wrong on that basic fact. Make sure you get the details correct, though, like the time period (in case things have been changing).

- "Healthier" is too vague. They could be doing better on lots of metrics but not the particular one he's talking about, but come out "healthier" overall.

- Similarly, there could be a million and one other things that they do differently from Americans that could make up for whatever damage fructose is alleged to do. Just because the end result is that they're healthier and that they consumer more fructose doesn't mean fructose isn't having a negative effect on them.

You haven't really provided any more support for your argument than he has at all, so it's hard to take your word over his (regardless of whose might be right). If you have something to support your position that would be super helpful.

Whichever font MS chooses, it won't be one I use. Why? Because I don't use fonts that are completely dependent on anti-aliasing as I have AA turned off. This means I am limited to fonts that had a lot of work put into them for raster pixel grids. This is fine, fonts don't "go bad".

The thing that is also silly about the AA-dependency to shape the glyphs, is that the higher the resolution your display is, the less you need any AA at all.
You disproved my point with occasional articles showing CNN trashing Fox News (and vice versa; one still doesn't appear to link to the other, which is what I actually said): is that an example of them fact-checking each other, or is it high school-level drama?

Yeah, this has been my general takeaway: calorie-counting and things like intermittent fasting are much more important than reading ingredient labels (for people who don’t have allergies and diet-related health issues like diabetes).
Not all states have judicial elections. In Virginia, for example, judges are appointed by the legislature. There are also some that appoint rather than elect attorneys general and local prosecutors.
