• The Private and External Costs of Germany's Nuclear Phase-Out [Nber]: "Many countries have phased out nuclear electricity production in response to concerns about nuclear waste and the risk of nuclear accidents. This paper examines the impact of the shutdown of roughly half of the nuclear production capacity in Germany after the Fukushima accident in 2011. [...] We find that the lost nuclear electricity production due to the phase-out was replaced primarily by coal-fired production and net electricity imports. The social cost of this shift from nuclear to coal is approximately 12 billion dollars per year. Over 70% of this cost comes from the increased mortality risk associated with exposure to the local air pollution emitted when burning fossil fuels." (

• Can You Call it Meat? [Jaysonlusk]: "The counter response is that people might associate words like “beef”, "meat”, or “milk” with other product attributes such as nutritional content, which might (sometimes inappropriately) carry over to the plant- or lab-based products. Nutritional facts panels may serve to mitigate some of these concerns, but there is little doubt that labels create various taste and health halos that extend beyond the objective facts. At the same time, words are needed to convey meaning to consumers beyond just animal content. Using the word ground “meat” tells me something about how the food is expected to be cooked and served and which condiments are appropriate. In this instance, using “meat” with “plant-based” is helpful to the consumer insofar as quickly conveying key information about how the product is to be cooked and consumed. Thus, there are pros and cons and costs and benefits to these types of labeling laws." (

Anderssen gave up both rooks and a bishop, then his queen, checkmating his opponent with his three remaining minor pieces. In 1996, Bill Hartston called the game an achievement "perhaps unparalleled in chess literature"." (

• How to dramatically reduce gun violence in American cities [Vox]: "Policing strategies like stop-and-frisk harass a lot of innocent people and breed resentment. But community policing can work. "In Bleeding Out, Abt argues that law enforcement and other government agencies can address these problems by focusing on three elements: focus, balance, and fairness. Police, other officials, and community leaders should focus on the few individuals who commit and are victim to the great majority of local violence, balancing the threat of punishment with offers of help. To give the process a sense of fairness, officials should communicate clearly and transparently, bringing in the community to provide feedback and accountability. There’s real-world evidence that this could work." (

• Research says there are ways to reduce racial bias. Calling people racist isn’t one of them. [Vox]: "In talking with researchers and looking at the studies on this in 2016, I found that it is possible to reduce people’s racial anxiety and prejudices. And the canvassing idea was regarded as very promising. But, researchers cautioned, the process of reducing people’s racism will take time and, crucially, empathy. [...] It’s the direct opposite of the kind of culture the internet has fostered — typically focused on calling out racists and shaming them in public. This doesn’t work. And as much as it might seem like a lost cause to understand the perspectives of people who may qualify as racist, understanding where they come from is a needed step to being able to speak to them in a way that will help reduce the racial biases they hold."

We need more unions everywhere." Unions help balance out workplaces and address income and wealth inequality. "[A]as I dug deeper and deeper into the research, and as I engaged in the actual organizing and bargaining processes, I was repeatedly proven wrong, in large part because I initially focused way too much on the bad examples of unions instead of the good ones. When you stack up all the research and look at the broader picture, though, the net effect of unions — bad examples included — is good for the typical worker." (

CPR stands for cognitive, physiological, and reset. Cognitive refers to cognitive approaches [...t]hese involve things like: Challenging distorted thoughts, Reframing the situation [...] ​If those don’t work, changing your physiology will often do the trick. [...] This can be things like: Doing a quick bout of exercise, Splashing your face with cold water, Taking a walk outside, Having an espresso [...] Lastly, if none of those work, you can do what I call a hard emotional reset. [...] Some examples might be: Getting a bag of popcorn and some hot chocolate, watching your favorite comedy, ideally with a partner or close friend, then playing a fun board game with them; Going out to a party and drinking and dancing; Going out to a park or the woods with a book and hiking, reading, and meditating in nature."

[...] And it doesn’t matter. [...]his administration has constructed far more effective barriers to immigration. No new laws have actually been passed. This transformation has mostly come about through subtle administrative shifts—a phrase that vanishes from an internal manual, a form that gets longer, an unannounced revision to a website, a memo, a footnote in a memo. [...] In the two years after Trump took office, denials for H1Bs, the most common form of visa for skilled workers, more than doubled. In the same period, wait times for citizenship also doubled[...] In 2018, the United States added just 200,000 immigrants to the population, a startling 70 percent less than the year before." (

One of the most fundamental life skills is realizing when you are confused, and school actively destroys this ability - teaches students that they "understand" when they can successfully answer questions on an exam, which is very very very far from absorbing the knowledge and making it a part of you."

• E-Cigarettes and Adult Smoking: Evidence from Minnesota [Nber]: "We provide some of the first evidence on how e-cigarette taxes impact adult smokers, exploiting the large tax increase in Minnesota. That state was the first to impose a tax on e-cigarettes by extending the definition of tobacco products to include e-cigarettes. This tax, which is 95% of the wholesale price, provides a plausibly exogenous deterrent to e-cigarette use. We utilize data from the Current Population Survey Tobacco Use Supplements from 1992 to 2015, in conjunction with a synthetic control difference-in-differences approach. [...] Our results suggest that in the sample period about 32,400 additional adult smokers would have quit smoking in Minnesota in the absence of the tax. If this tax were imposed on a national level about 1.8 million smokers would be deterred from quitting in a ten year period." (

• Q: What are “actual pictures” of atoms actually pictures of? [Ask A Mathematician]: "Light can't be used to photograph an atom because the wavelength of light is longer than the size of the atom. Instead, a scanning electron microscope is "a needle with a point that is a single atom (literally, it is the pointiest thing possible) which it uses to measure subtle electrical variations (such as a stray atom sitting on what was otherwise a very flat, clean surface). The 'Tunneling Electron' bit of the name refers to the nature of the electrical interaction being used to detect the presence of atoms; when the tip is brought close to an atom electrons will quantum tunnel between them and the exchange of electrons is a detectable as a current. The 'Scanning' bit of the name refers to how this is used to generate a picture: by scanning back and forth across a surface over and over until you’ve bumped every atom with your needle several times. The pictures so generated aren’t photographs, they’re maps of what the STM’s needle experienced as it was moved over the surface. The STM 'sees' atoms using this needle in the same way you can 'see' the bottom of a muddy river with a pokin’ stick." (

Who is he, if not the savior of the world? From the transcendent point of view, the world can't be saved. Matter will continue to combine & break apart, creating new forms & destroying them. If humanity were wiped out by nuclear holocaust, things would still keep happening. Matter can't be destroyed. This is a scary point of view. It's cold, detached, inhuman.

• Pedestrian routing that offers pleasant alternatives to the shortest route [Gislounge]: "Most of us are concerned about getting somewhere, usually as fast as possible, so we are accustomed to using Google Maps or similar tools we prefer for navigation to find the quickest route possible. However, we may not always want to find simply the quickest route. There are health, physical, enjoyable and even economic reasons as to why the fastest route is not optimal. Furthermore, along the route, there are other things we may prefer, such as finding places to socialize or even being surrounded by peace and quiet. New tools are beginning to make the task of finding such routes easier for us." (

• Stop Trying to Focus: The Power of Macro-Mind Thinking [Consciouscompanymedia]: "We're told that focus is the key to productivity, but macro-mind thinking — or stepping back to see the bigger picture and give our brains a break — is just as crucial. [...] Make space for big-picture thinking: Some companies give their employees a half day once a week or once a month to pursue “moon shot” projects or just let their creative juices flow with no set agenda. [...] Go beyond mindfulness: Mindfulness has become all the rage at companies focused on promoting focus and wellbeing. [...] Do nothing: This is the advanced practice, the double-black diamond approach to developing the macro-mind. The momentum to be productive is so strong that most of us rarely, if ever, have the opportunity to do nothing." (
