It does feel off. That’s why lawyers have a saying, “bad facts make bad law.” That is, people tend to side with what feels right In a given situation rather than what is the best policy for a government to execute over millions of people ov

You may be underestimating the value of easy storage. I’m a city dweller, and I’ve been outright barred by my spouse from purchasing any more books - we just don’t have the room.

I already know of at least one company that 3D bioprints custom replacement teeth for patients rather than use implants. It’s already got its patents granted and is transitioning from prototypes to production units, IIRC.

That was the first thing to jump out at me, too. I love crotchety blogs ranting about (whatever screwups), but this one takes a serious credibility hit right off the bat. Ranting about something you don’t understand and being blatantly wron

It’s not meant to be dishonest. I take for granted that the existence of a setting is implied, insofar as people are discussing non-hypothetical commuting.

OP: “punishing personal driving penalizes people for undertaking necessary tasks using the only infrastructure reasonable in that setting.” You: “well in other settings it works. Of course, those settings have other infrastructure.” You can

Oddly, the article seemed to overlook the most obvious elements of why it’s hard to shift that behavior: Driving around picking people up consumes precious morning time. In exchange, one sacrifices their bespoke commuting routine. That is,

Increasing amounts of data suggest that obesity is enormously more complicated than "willpower." I feel like studies like this are a strong indicator of that: the entire generation doesn't just, you know, lose willpower overn

I'm good with this. The only rebuttal I ever hear is, well, how are your favorite websites going to stay up if they can't be free? Will you pay for them all? And the funny thing is, the websites I use fall into three categories: 1

He was paid >1M/yr(>2M in modern dollars); I doubt he ranked quite so low as people are saying. Interchangeable widgets don’t pull down that salary.

I found the title easy to read, but then, I am familiar with non-technological uses of the word “cache,” what “crypto-Jewish” is, and how that directly ties into the inquisition. This is less a bad headline and more a mismatch between the a

Debatable. Lying so as to cause immediate harm, and practicing medicine without a license, are neither of them new limitations to free speech.

I believe OPs reference to the Uighurs was to their placement in concentration camps. Calling that an “attempt at unification” is generous at best.

Yes. It’s not hard to find anecdotes about dying restaurants in NYC - the turnover is incredibly high. Nor is it surprising that some restaurants relied more heavily on large quantities of cheap staff than others did. I have little sympathy

If you can’t distinguish between the Vietnamese War and the Axis Concentration Camps on a scale of atrocity, I’m doubtful there’s any intellectual exercise that’s going to clarify that for you.

Lived near Yale for a little while. It is difficult to believe the theft rate in my area was <80%. We firmly gave up on deliveries to the home, and had to warn friends and relatives not to send us anything. Nearly everything got grabbed.

1) Journals 2) Rounds and Grand Rounds 3) Curbsides / phone a friend 4) Websites are complicated by liability issues. They’re casual, but by their nature documented. It’s kind of the worst of both worlds.

They only issue passports to people in charge of specific projects. Of about 13k members there are about 500 passports, almost entirely held by their diplomats or their governance members. Also, they’re still an order of catholic knights :)
