The number of deaths of police officers on duty has not exceeded 141 for over ten years [1]. Considering every city has cops, I can hardly consider it to be a dangerous jobs. There's almost a million cops on duty[2]. With a yearly chan

A goal of the GDPR was to make these business models illegal, because they are considered bad. It has not been successfull at this, mostly due to lack of enforcement.

That's actually not allowed under GDPR. You can't deny access to a website based on whether a user accepted non-essential tracking.

What do you mean by encouraging? I was out of the country at the time so maybe I missed something. To be clear, I think the 8th was a mistake. But at the same time, the opposition was organizing rallies and those were not stopped either. Th

Spain was following the indications of the OMS at that point. The pandemic was not declared until March 11th, three days after Woman's Day. By default, anyone can rally in Spain at any point. They don't seek authorization for the

> When all are privileged, are any, really? That's like saying "when everybody has money, does anyone have money?". People have varying amounts (and kinds) of privilege, but some have more than others.

"JUST QUIT" makes it sound like quitting is an easy thing to do. "like they have a gun to their head" makes it sound like direct physical threat is the only mechanism of coercion that exists. These things are just not tr

I appreciate this. I have not had an easy time finding any data that goes deeper than the 0.2% data point, which clearly doesn't give a full picture because it doesn't dive into the effect of comorbidity. Your sibling post links

Most mortality estimates and forecasts include only deaths directly attributable to the virus. There are many indirect deaths that will be caused by it. Long term lung damage is one of the ways this will happen, probably among the most del

I'm in a similar situation as the OP, and have heard that argument used for me. I don't like it. In order to live frugally and responsibly, I was lucky to have the upbringing that taught me to do it, and to not have anyone depend

Those tests can be written, but if you do it naively coverage is measurable and very small. And the physics engine is not necessarily deterministic (or if it is, you can't always control all it's parameters)

I find this argument very weak. Should communists not buy anything? Should anarchists not use roads? When your political beliefs are at odds with the current legal framework, you have no choice but to compromise to some degree. That doesn&#

I find this view very unsettling. Everything I have and love, and everything almost everyone has, is thanks to society. I suppose that includes the bad as well as the good, but really society has brought so much joy that the only way I can

Plant is a vague polysemic word. In this context I would take ti to mean as not animal or mineral, as it's not uncommon to divide things into those three categories.

I think most of the people replying to you are equating "not worrying about finances" with "not working another day in my life". Which is probably which strikes you as disconnected. I see where you are coming from, and a
