Which is wild because a Dyson has a premium price tag.

CDG shows yellow (“minor issues”), 65% of planes arrive on time, 0% cancelled. FRA shows green (“normal operations”) 59% of planes arrive on time, 4% cancelled.

Surely that’s wrong?

That makes zero sense. You mean “by lowering the profit margin on the goods sold to the US by that specific company”.

Countries don’t pay tarrifs (bar state intervention), companies do.

But yes, it’s probably a mix of the two: raising prices and lowering profit margins.

> The motivation for making school more rewarding and less stultifying should not primarily be its effect on outcomes later in life, but rather that childhood is itself part of life, a very important part.

Almost makes me tear up. 1000 times this.

This is unworkable in practice; nothing will ever be completely safe. Instead, we need a public regulatory body that makes reasonable risk/reward tradeoffs when approving necessary chemicals. However, this system breaks down completely when you allow for lobbying and a revolving door between the public and private sectors.

Beautiful site. Also very pleased to see the mitochondrion being referred to as the powerhouse of the cell, as is law.

> 1/800 users mentioning suicide…

“conversations that include explicit indicators of potential suicidal planning or intent.”

Sounds like more than just mentioning suicide. Also it’s per week, which is a pretty short time interval.

> Therefore, grains are cheap and people eat too much of them.

People only overeat themselves into obesity once you process those carbs into high fructose corn syrup etc. Seems like a very different problem.
