I do the same in the evening. Gradually fading the light low till they turn off one by one, over the course of an hour and a half. It has the reverse effect and makes me sleepy.

Yes, profound emotional response. There were cg animations before Pixar.

Pixar moment for me means a novel techonology evoking a profound emotional response for the first time. This was not it.

It is simply more difficult to cram the specs into a smaller form factor and they sell for less. A loose-loose situation. The same is happening in the tv market. 32” is disappearing because it’s more expensive to build smaller 4k displays.

When it comes to risk-reward decisions, I think humans are pretty bad at this. Individual circumstances often influence decisions more than statistical reasoning. The chance that a human will need the expertise of a health professional at some point in their life is close to 100%, but it’s impossible to predict when and in what capacity.

I baffled that you think a society is better off leaving it up to individual choice whether to have any healthcare at all. That’s actually one of the main reasons why healthcare is so expensive and out of reach for many people in the US: leaving healthcare decisions to individuals leads to fragmented risk pools, higher administrative costs, and generally worse outcomes.
