Hi Adam, thanks for taking questions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like there are lots of psychological issues with saving that stem from people spending their money when they feel like they have any. Is there any effort you can make to ensure that the money stays in savings until it's really needed?

Hi Chris,

I'm concerned with how rapidly AI is being used as a security tool for private information. Apple's FaceID and my bank's implementation of voiceprint ID seems exploitable by competing AI technology. It also seems like a FaceID is a bad idea for some people, say, if you have an identical twin. What do you think about the modern implementation of AI as security?

US industry absolutely uses Curies and rem. Part of this is NRC setting their standards to Curie quantities instead of Becquerel quantities.

3.6 Roentgen is much higher than a chest x-ray. A rough estimate of whole-body dose equivalent for a chest x-ray is 0.1 mSv, 10 mSv = 1 rem, and 1 rem is (roughly) a translation of 1 Roentgen from exposure to photonic radiation dose equivalent, hence the name "Roentgen equivalent in man." Anyway, 1 rem is more like 100 chest x-rays, and so 3.6 R is like 360 of those procedures and is near the annual dose limit for radiation workers in the United States (5 rem).

Hi,

I found a study online where you were supposed to press right for good or bad things, then press right for homosexual or heterosexual things. I guess it was trying to see if you implicitly wanted to say one sexuality or another was good or bad.

Are you familiar with the study? I think it came from Harvard. What do you think about that as a methodology?
