I've looked into this and it seems the biggest difference is where the brackets are. They're much higher in the US, even if the marginal tax rate for high earners in California is not much lower than Germany.

I mean, they do have a motor, so I don't see why they should be less regulated than other motorized vehicles. They're just as dangerous to the user as a moped.

I don't think ebikes are replacing walking trips though, but car trips. The requirement to anticipate, prepare for, and endure the weather (including cold, snow, rain) makes bikes much less appealing to people who already own cars, whi

We definitely do not universally agree whether cocaine should be illegal. Drugs are a good analogy though because they can be used to improve life or misused with very bad outcomes. Tarring all instances with the same brush, or expecting ev

I don't think these researchers are saying that EBM is false per se. They state, “Conceptualizing obesity as a disorder of energy balance restates a principle of physics without considering the biological mechanisms that promote weight

I don't know about;"teaching", but I think people can change their nature and it's life experience that causes this to happen. It would be pretty surprising to me if someone acted the same way at 23 and 32. Arrogance in

I think you have to balance that against the fact that the recreational dose of lsd is so infinitesimal that 10000x that dose is still very easy to ingest in the blink of an eye. Not so for alcohol. That said, even after reading wikipedia&#

I can't see a difference between these two things. I would think the `patch` command and a (bash?) "script" are legally equivalent.

False equivalency. The company/Meng broke US laws, ones which were actually on the books. If Huawei wants to operate in the US it is subject to US laws. Meanwhile the Canadian hostages broke no laws, they were simply convenient politic

by the time they actually find a vulnerability, it will be a little late to do anything about it. And if the US govt intelligence community did find a backdoor, what makes you think they'd tell you or me about it?

The incidence of recidivism is extreme. The chances of a freed felon committing another felony are such that handing them a gun or a job in retail is very risky. Yet the alternative, keeping them in prison forever, is clearly not fair. So w
