I live and work in Encinitas, and I like to talk about housing a lot, transportation and biking from time to time, California and Encinitas politics, and cannabis.

The defining questions of our age are who will have access to superintelligence and what will we direct it towards. Will it be centralized and restricted to a few institutions, or will it be a tool that empowers everyone?
We propose a philosophy based on individual empowerment as the source of prosperity, invention as the primary purpose of superintelligence, and balance of power as the foundation of safety.

Mad about bipartisan Sinophobia and distressed about saber-rattling toward China? You could campaign to legalize imports of the world’s cheapest electric cars. Are you an urbanist who hates personal car ownership? Why not ask your city council to welcome all-electric Waymos? If you’re disgusted with the fossil fuel industry, you could electrify your home. If you agree with Bill McKibben that it’s time for environmentalists to get out of the way of new clean energy projects, you could call your representatives and ask them to support federal permitting reform. But while it’s true that many of these avenues could reduce emissions while contributing to overall economic growth, it’s not quite true to say that they don’t have costs. Cheap electric cars will disadvantage U.S.-based automakers. Waymos will put taxi and Uber drivers out of work and cut into the business of car dealerships.

Is it okay to take Tylenol in pregnancy? This is a question that has been coming up for years. Tylenol — generically, acetaminophen or paracetamol — is widely used in pregnancy, and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology says it is safe. However, over time, and especially more recently, concerns have been raised about possible links between use in pregnancy and neurological issues in children, notably autism and ADHD. The drumbeat of these claims has gotten louder as autism rates have gone up, and policy is focused on explaining that rise. Let me start with the upshot here. The best data does not support this link. The increase in observed rates of autism over time must have other explanations, a main one of which is changes in diagnosis rates. I will delve into the data below, but I want to start with the evidence that has led people to argue for such a link, providing the full context. Take me to the bottom line
