    Is Donating 10% of Profits to Charity too much?

    That is a good starting point. As you will see in that link, one of the main proponents of effective altruism and of utilitarianism is the Australian philosopher, Peter Singer. The podcast, Hidden Brain, just released a two part episode profiling Singer and his beliefs and how they apply to the...

    ShutDownSTEM was a June 10 strike asking anyone in STEM to stop working that day and fight racism. Pretty vague, but it seems to have already happened. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/10/thousands-of-scientists-go-on-strike-to-protest-systemic-racism-stem.html

    Is Donating 10% of Profits to Charity too much?

    The company I work for donates about 30% of revenue, and from the customer's POV, in retail value, we are donating 100% of revenue. This year, the retail donation value will be a couple million dollars and next year it will be even more than that. The business is coming up on 5 years old with 4...

    I would hope that people take their health and financial security more seriously. My biggest worry was not of getting sick and dying but of getting sick and going bankrupt. It is hard to comprehend how the US can spend the second highest amount of public dollars on healthcare AND the highest...

    Just had dinner with my gf’s mom. She is monitoring multiple vaccine trial studies (normally she monitors Alzheimer’s studies) in multiple sites. I can’t disclose a lot of information, but one of the subjects in one of the studies died today. The study is a 3 arm study and the subject was in...

    Minneapolis (and spreading) Riots, Civil Unrest

    HOT! 
    At this point, it seems like it is mostly opportunists. The whole protest has been co-opted by black hat anarchists, boogaloos/groypers, teens on Insta trying to get notoriety, and simple criminals. All of these groups have completely different motivations, but are hard to visually distinguish...

    I mean, you could buy a gun. OR, you could buy a Pepsi and give it to a cop and end racism, oppression and violence forever. Think smarter, not harder.

    And if you do get armed, don't be a F*cking idiot like the guy in the photo below. He drove his car to the SLC protest, got out of the car while surrounded by hundreds of protesters, nocked an arrow (took him a good 15 seconds to nock it), let the arrow loose (seems that he didn't hit anyone)...

    The data is about the ratio of infections between those in lockdown and those not in lockdown, not about the rates of infection. The ratio and the rates would be two different things, and the ratio does not seem that unusual depending on the total ratio of those in lockdown and those not in...

    He's not going to jail. Maybe he will get arrested for something else at some point, especially considering he has physically assaulted other people and damaged property in the past, but he can't get charged for not giving a refund, no matter how shitty the reason. However, he is playing with...

    What the F*ck. This guy is absolutely awful. Apparently, it’s not the first time he has run a shitty business either. This article details how his ex-wife had to get a restraining order, he smashed the headlights of his mom’s car because he was mad about a news article, and he pushed a TV...

    Well, first, what type of business interests you? You generally choose between an e-commerce business or a services business and then there are subgroups within those categories. Normally I recommend cutting your teeth on a small investment. You can easily start an ecommerce business or...

    It is strangely accurate but since this virus is SARS-cov-2 and SARS-cov-1 was still very relevant in 2003, not that unusual, except for the mention of chloroquine. Let’s just hope no one ever shares a “strangely accurate clip” from an old 2011 movie called Contagion. Lol. Another thing to...

    I will preface by saying that if the current situation had occurred at any point between 2015 and 2017, I would be in major trouble. I am fortunate to be in a much improved position compared to that time. Shortened timeline: Was planning to sell non-FBA ecom business in January, didn't find...

    Similar to how we think medieval Europeans (and others, probably) were dumb for thinking the movement of planets made people sick (influenza is literally an Italian word for the sickness caused by the influence of the planets and stars), imagine how dumb people in the future will think early...
