Yes it can. It's a good idea but the main downside is it ignores self-defense risk.

There were 2 drone streams. The HD one that the Qatar base was watching, and the SD one that the task force was watching (if we're to believe their account).

It obviously doesn't and they never claimed that it did. The point is that it's cheaper on the margin to stop polluting than it is to keep polluting and then clean it up afterwards.

What do you advise non-residents wishing to go to Portugal to benefit from the tax regime there? Is it not worth it?

I am generally against worker protection for things that are voluntarily agreed on. The problem is that bosses can sneakily introduce things that weren't agreed on, and this is usually bad for the worker because the worker has less pow

It's better done through government, as is minimum wage and other worker protections. Unions have systematic downsides that are avoided if worker protection is achieved via government.

Evidence? I've read articles talking about homeless being shipped both out of CA and into CA, but no solid reporting that quantifies the gap between those two flows.

I agreed with that, I was talking about labels in the abstract but they can definitely be put to bad use.

Do you have any evidence for this statement? I have changed my behavior in response to health info on labels, so this is anecdotal evidence against your assertion. PR campaigns have been known to work, e.g. alcohol in Russia in the 90s.

They are not a form of violence. That's concept creep in order to force home a rhetorical point that you're trying to make.

You've framed a plausible hypothesis - which is the best any of us can do given a complete absence of any data - as "invent[ing] unfounded theories that can't be falsified". That's effective rhetoric, but it isn&#x2

I wonder how correlated the like/view ratio is with the like/dislike ratio. If that correlation is very high we might not be losing much info. It'd just take an annoying extra second to calc the ratio.

I don't even buy YouTube's claim that "brigading" or "dislike attacks" is a real thing or a problem. If they have a minimum number of minutes that a video needs to be watched before a vote is counted, then that

It's smart in a gross way. They can materially reduce the risk of being regulated by pandering to them.

Source that storage isn't that expensive? What I've read has said the opposite. If that's true then I'll adjust my views accordingly.

Wind/solar has a variability problem and storage is expensive. Hydro is bad for the local environment. Nuclear has a minor waste problem which isn't really that bad. None of these are perfect solutions. Nuclear shouldn't be r

They're scary in the same way that plane crashes are scary. Make the news and get into dramatic TV shows and cause people to be irrationally afraid of a virtually non-existent threat.

The difference here is context. In a school, if you hear shots, that can only be bad. The night in question had many people with guns and it was open mayhem. Shots going off could mean anything. You don't get to aggressively approach s

A lot has been written on it, and we've been told by many reputable people that it's not a big problem. If climate change really is a dire threat, nuclear waste is just a non-issue relatively speaking. Anyone promoting that we sho

You've used the word "shooter" in order to cast Rittenhouse as the aggressor in the situation. If he really was defending himself in the first two shootings, that definitely doesn't give a third person the right to exe

No, because Grosskreutz pointed his gun at Rittenhouse first. If I point my gun at someone in a context that is easily interpreted as threatening, and then they shoot me in response to me doing that, I don't get to shoot them. It was m

It's a confidence game being played on 17 year old kids who don't know any better. I agree it's a grey area and the fraud label may not fit, but it's fairly close to the truth.

That's a great idea as long as we're not subsidizing activist disciplines such as gender studies. I'd be happy for my tax money to be going towards free computer science courses at a community college.

The logic is wrong because you've assumed a negative or zero correlation between societal usefulness and earnings when the correlation is actually a positive one. Maybe a social work degree has positive externalities that far exceed th

I don't agree it's dumb (perhaps fashionable incarnations are dumb, but not the general idea of being inspired by an ancestral diet). We evolved in that setting and our bodies were optimized for our ancestors' diet. This does
