There are many caveats to your first statement. For example food aid (SNAP) may be time limited. The federal govt is concerned that you may be deterred for getting a job.

Guess: many people would tap OK without thinking about it (they don’t understand or care what background means) then would be unhappy that their battery drains..

Coming to the US from Europe, I find it striking how much more “Stuff” a typical household contains. I am still struggling to understand why and even after a number of years, it is jarring when I return. I think it is a mixture of greater d

I picked Sour Dough, changed start time to tomorrow morning, the diagram went blank and the schedule now shows Invalid Date.

Great link thank you - it looks like if the US follows China, is it nearly two months from the peak, with Washington state about 10 days closer. If China is even comparable. We will know more when Italy reaches its peak.

Empirical studies apparently find road wear matches a power law. Although it seems the exponent varies. Here's a survey https://www.nzta.govt.nz/assets/resources/603/RR-603-The-rel...

Most likely that was based on a cost benefit analysis involving QALY. Which is logically a reasonable way to figure out how to spend Healthcare dollars. The US system is not.

I've done this in a team where we were spread across two offices. A TV on the wall showed the other office (on the other coast). We called it the wormhole. I can't remember it being useful in any way

Correct - its a statement of opinion. Yes, I think most of us are dismissive of some values of some others and that's OK.

Your point seems to be : people have different moral frameworks. Mine differs to some others. This seems self evident.

I don't believe in these mathematical greater evil arguments. I assume you would not kill a baby even if it was guaranteed to prevent a plane crash killing a hundred people. One should not make relativistic moral calculations with fund

Citation for the 3000 value? That seems to be a meme : I can't find evidence for it. A study [1] found 23 times an hour which is 368 times in a 16 hour day. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25637115/

It never occurred to me that 7% of 50 is equal to 50% of 7 perhaps because they are equally easy to calculate? Multiply 7 by 5 and fix the decimal point.

5 year survival rates may be heavily influenced by detection rates. If country A detects my lung cancer at 55 and country B at 59 and either way I die at 60 - I’m no better off in A. Maybe worse.

I've had a number of friends from India tell me that the British colonization left them some valuable heritage, such as some on the institutions. Maybe it's not quite the same as Nazi occupation.

The tax could be revenue neutral and achieve the same goal. Also I don't see the connection with wage growth unless you are drawing some connection with employees of the tourism industry.

My naive reading is that it prohibits double taxing (taxing fuel already purchased). Are you saying that when fuel my aircraft they ask the destination so they can gauge the tax?

They could turn around and spend the revenue to make CDG not suck.
