The concept sounds neat. The problem for me (other than the risks mentioned) is that most of the tasks that I would like to outsource are not the type that involve offsite clerical work. For the most part, I don’t need help paying my bills. I don’t need help booking my airline tickets and lodging. I don’t have appointments that I can outsource to someone else.
The mundane tasks that I have: I need the yard mowed, the floors scrubbed, the furniture dusted, my clothes washed, my dry cleaning picked up, my groceries delivered, my dinner prepared, etc. These are all activities that cannot be outsourced to India. The moving and cleaning our hired out, but I have to do most of the remaining tasks myself.
JD…I understand the claim made by the author that there isn’t “one ideal diet” for everyone. That is pretty obvious in my eyes…however, the debate is revolved around consistency to a diet. If the diet is a poor diet, for example a “no-carb” diet, then staying consistent will be tremendously unhealthy and may not end helping with weight loss in the long run. Where is the evidence that consistency to any diet yields to weight loss? I haven’t seen it.
Your chance of dying without a liver transplant depends on your ZIP code. The answer: gerrymandering.
I have an idea: why not deregulate the market and allow dying people to sell their liver when they die? Why not allow healthy people to donate portion of their liver (which regenerate)? The current policy is designed by organ banks and medical facilities who all want to profit from property that belongs to other people.
“For $10 an hour, you too can have a personal assistant ― in India.”
Good for us, good for them.
Sounds like I good way to scam people here.
Possibly, a verification service would be appropriate.

“Diet studies: the only consistent finding is: you will most likely lose weight if you stick to whatever diet you happen to be on.”
Bad article — nothing scientific about it.
Why do you say that?

Good points.
So…if you keep doing what your doing, you will lose weight…that is possibly the worse nutrition advice I have ever heard.
Doctors consider gerrymandering to make the wait for a liver transplant more fair…what??
