RAND did a decent review.[1] They do show supportive evidence of some gun laws having a meaningful effect on violent crime, so I'm not sure what they're referring to. For instance, it appears that child access prevention laws, spe

Uh. The first page of that seems to consist entirely of articles about Christians and their views of the ancient Greeks except for one article on neo-Paganism. If anything, that seems to prove people's point that the term is of questio

Pretty sure they were referring to Cruise (the robotaxi company) not GM's existing supercruise feature. Of course, with GM bringing Cruise in-house and abandoning the taxi service, there's no telling how much of their technology w

All decisions are made by the Waymo vehicle itself. The vehicle can ask human remote operators for recommendations or clarification, but the vehicle itself decides whether to use them. Most of the time, the vehicle doesn't end up needi

Mmm. Priests who break the seal of confessional can't have their excommunication lifted by confessing to another priest. It can only be done by the Holy See. The last time it happened for breaking the seal, afaik, was in 2018 when Ezin

Uh. California began offering $5,000 rebates for electric vehicles in 2007, before Tesla sold its first car. It was literally a selling point touted by Tesla. From Tesla's blog (2009): Tax incentives: Why the Roadster costs less than i

For the article on the pope, Clarin seems to have used estadounidense, norteamericano and americano to refer to things and people from the US, though americano in reference to "imperialismo americano." Well, I'm assuming that

Do Argentinians regularly refer to themselves as Americans? I can't think of the last time I needed to describe myself as being from the continent, but if you really want to call yourselves Americans, I say go for it. People can call t

No. Capital expenditures are profit (or really, count towards earnings). They're long-term investments in fixed assets, not expenses that get subtracted out when calculating net income. You're just swapping cash with assets of e

Spending more money on infrastructure means profits will increase. There's not really any way around that. Capital expenditures are profit.

I think you misread the original comment. It doesn't say 2,300/hr. It says 200/hr, 3,000/day and 2,300/day.

A nailer in the US in the 18th century could apparently make 200 nails per hour.[1] One in the UK reported making 3,000 nails/day in the 19th century.[2] Adam Smith reported seeing boys making 2,300 nails/day.[3] As I understand i

Why people voted for someone is different from why the winner was chosen from the votes cast. The former is impossible absent forcing everyone to write justifications, the latter though does have a range of understandability. A lot of votin

What could be potentially damning is the answer, not the question. Getting clarity and avoiding potentially incorrect assumptions by asking questions is something professionals should do. I would very much like to see the rest of the deck

Eh. The lawsuit is still ongoing (for 9 years now!). The article summarizes the plaintiffs' argument and conjecture as if it was a finding of fact which is a bit disingenuous.

The EU and UK both import food from the US. Some US food products are banned for concerns about safety, but they're hardly unique - the US also bans some food products from the EU and UK that are considered unsafe in the US. None of th

Sure. And I'd advertise in large print, "PRRS Virus Free" Considering the prevalence of PRRSV, it would be difficult for farms with non-CRISPRed pigs to say the same. Scare tactics can work both ways here.

by Aloisius 1y ago
So don't import US food products if it scares you. That's a separate issue from whether to allow CIRPRed livestock. Again, this disease regularly affects pigs in Europe and causes immense animal suffering.

Uh. Healthier animals. This specific approval is for a gene therapy to prevent PRRSV infection - a major porcine virus and one that regularly infects pigs in the EU. It has nothing to do with mistreatment of animals or factory farming.

If the issue is that "include" somehow makes it sound like it's not markup, the solution seems obvious. Just use the src attribute on other tags: <html src="/some/page.html">, <div src="&#x2F
