To wit, consider the case of Charles Parsons, inventor of the steam turbine engine. He was able to do this because of the lifetime work of Henri Victor Regnault ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Victor_Regnault ) cha

Unfortunately when you try to explain this to people, the most common response (regardless of which side they're on) is to express that "Yes, but OUR side is right, so misrepresenting the ruling in our favor is right too."

Depending on the outcome of this behavior, he may still be subjected to ruinous civil litigation on the grounds that his actions constitute gross negligence. Ideally as you say there would be consequences for his license to practice as well

If you think this is going to primarily be used to hold rich and powerful people to account for intimidating the less fortunate and well-connected, I think you're going to be surprised. Personally I expect it's far more likely to

I think the key ingredient in the story of Thomas Beckett wasn't the revelation of his identity and location, but the fact that it was the THE KING OF ENGLAND calling for his head. And you know what? Calling for someone's murder c

I think it has a lot more to do with catty social dynamics, soft targets, and a strong desire to farm clicks. "I'm So Outraged, Here's My 90 Minute Video Essay About Why!"

Their portfolios will recover, and in the meantime the Republicans will cut them fat tax cuts and be very friendly to their idea of fair labor practices and environmental regs. It's a net win for them, and you're kidding yourself

Equality, rights, and all of that tend to go away when Russia invades and occupies you. If you want to preserve that, along with your homes and the people you love, your options are to fight or flee. Life is imperfect, so the ways we have t

Having priorities is not an act of hypocrisy, this is not "just one more" it's not even a drop in the ocean. It's just a PR stunt that annoyed some people, or perhaps more accurately, was used to generate engagement. It

I'm not in favor of it either, but this is hardly the first flight of this exact type. It's also a trivial waste in the face of far more egregious and systemic ones, so I'm left feeling like this is the usual left-leaning aut

Man, people are really acting like this rocket killed their parents, and Katy Perry sang a song while it happened. This is a story about something that doesn't matter on any level, the people involved don't matter, the technology

...Then how could you possibly have entertained illusions that one of the country's biggest industries was a genuine outlier? Not that I agree with your assessment in the first place, but assuming it's true then you should have se

All of the AI music I've heard sounds better than you'd expect it to, but still you'd never listen to it except for the momentary novelty, and that's only for the versions that are made by people who really know what the

This is accurate, doubly so for the people who treat it like a religion and fear the coming of their machine god. This, when what we actually have are (admittedly sometimes impressive) next-token predictors that you MUST double-check becaus

A truck load of bleach isn't intended for human consumption, a smuggled load of fentanyl is. That's a critical difference. Besides, if truck loads of bleach were routinely killing thousands of people a year, we'd be freaking

I feel like it's already been pretty well digested and excreted for the most part, now we're into the re-ingestion phase until the bubble bursts.

To be clear, that's not what this ruling says, that would be a consequence of other laws that can be changed if there's political will. The ruling is just a narrow definition for legal purposes of what the words "Man" an

This isn't Schrodinger's cat, a lack of observation doesn't make the chromosomes go away, and really focusing on intersex people when the topic is trans people feels like a bit of a shell game anyway. You are however entitled

You seem to be arguing for a more superficial definition of sex? I think that fits better with gender, which is a lot more flexible than biology. At the end of the day casual language isn't set up to draw distinctions between gender an

That sounds like a great example of the difference between people who love their job and see it as an opportunity to meet interesting people, and someone who hates their job and just grudgingly draws a paycheck.

That seems like a false dichotomy, unless you're really saying the two options are "Billions in federal funds" or "Ivy Leagues will become even more horrific in the world of patent law." In fact rewarding such bad b

The shame IMO is that this is going to further polarize people along the lines of "Yay, stick it to those rich schools" and "Omg, this is literally the second coming of Hitler." It would be lovely to have a broad convers

I'm not a fan of the Cato Institute either, but I don't think that single fact in isolation can be considered more than simple ad hominem. Full disclosure: I believe that any time someone talks about a whole continent in sweeping

Iran ratified it too, but famously has significant problems with child slavery. In fact if you go down the list of signatories you get the sense that maybe this thing isn't worth the paper it's written on.

That's... incredibly unhelpful, although I suppose it explains why the US has more of these deaths than other countries: accounting practices.
