I'm loathe to agree here, but you are highlighting a point that people miss about other OECD countries. Many very expensive treatments available in the US are covered by insurance (to a point) but are simply unavailable in the UK, Japa

Maybe you're just judgemental, and should take an inventory of your self. Frankly you seem like a miserable person.

This is a weird take. There are plenty of ways to build a meaningful life that don't involve writing code or slinging emails and powerpoints for a living. The guy I call to do plumbing work has several kids and does fine for himself.

I’ve read the exact opposite of this claim in tons of papers. What are you looking at?

While the cause is UV exposure, sunburns drive most of the actual risk.[1] so it not technically true that skin cancer is only caused by sunburns, most melanomas come from sunburns. There’s a very linear dose response. [1] https:/&#x2

It’s just sunburns that cause skin cancer. It’s really that simple.

The fertile zone around the Nile was Rome’s bread basket, not the modern desert. It’s still a major agricultural area.

That article is junk. The leading cause of Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans is under cooked meat. Cat ownership is not actually linked to higher prevalence of T. gondii infection[1]. [1] https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/art

To make the popup requirement for non critical cookies in GDPR less onerous? Or the change in data operation recording requirements that will kick in at a company size of 750 employees instead of 250? I assume you mean the AI related stuff?

They were merely well organized and. connected to state legislatures. It's just regulatory capture.

Natural selection has nothing to do with randomness per se, it’s merely differential selection based on environmental fitness. The fitness function of a given environment can even narrow a range of existing genes without any mutation occurr

I don’t really see that as anti-Darwinian. Those genes successfully attach themselves to a new organism and provide advantages such that they are selected for in the population.

I grew up around dog show people and breeders and can confidently say that I learned a lot more about negative qualities in people than positive ones in dogs. Moreover some types of dogs are just by disposition, awful.

It mostly is limited to people in those groups or people in contact with them. [1] The big hot spot in Alberta is the Mennonite community. [1] https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-mexican-menno...

But it's the Mennonites who were the source and primary locus of the outbreak, not some MAHA dummies.

FC is always fake even thought the facilitator usually believes earnestly that it is real. It works partially through the ideomotor effect where the facilitator subconsciously makes physical queues to the letter they are thinking of next. T

It's a little hard to believe that people who famously don't use computers were infected by an "misinformation", a rather loathsome neologism. There was famously a really serious outbreak in the NYC Orthodox community fr

One could, but you'd need to model multiple scenarios. Surveys show a steady increase in driving for Thanksgiving in the US versus flying since 2020. The average distance according to the AAA is 549 miles, which is approaching the tipp

Yeah, for sure. Building for 0 carbon AC and electric resistive heating will probably look a little different.

If you built homes with a lot of thermal mass, you could cool the internal thermal mass when energy is $0 and have that mass absorb heat the rest of the day. This is sort of the principle a lot of traditional architecture uses where evapora

This seems like a great way to encourage the behavior you want, which is conserving when energy is emitting more carbon by shifting consumption. Do your laundry, charge a car, charge a whole house batter, run laundry, crank the AC, run your
