The pagers do give Israel a certain veneer of plausible deniability that they wouldn’t otherwise have if they had used more traditional bombing methods.

There are so many “copaganda” TV shows in the US it’s wild. I bet every American could easily name 10 off the top of their head and that wouldn’t even begin to scratch the surface.

I think monkey pox was mostly contained through contact tracing and then vaccinating those who were potentially exposed.

I think it’s one thing to build your own insanely dangerous exploration device and try it out yourself but to try to make money by selling people tickets for rides on it is far beyond mere “experimenting”. There’s also the very substantial

I think it’s more along the lines of “learn from the experiences of others”. It’s my understanding that there are quite a lot of very smart people who have spent decades figuring out how to build these things relatively safely. This company

I believe he also mentioned they were “lost” for a few hours when they lost communication so perhaps all hope is not lost for the people currently on board.

We can’t completely stop people from smoking either. But we can prevent people from starting and we can perhaps prevent those who have already started from increasing their consumption. Slowing down the rate of use by banning advertisements

Can someone clarify how they decided to feature these 5279 subreddits? Are these the subreddits whose mods decided to participate? Or are these the largest subreddits? Or is there some other factor?

Why? Different people react differently to things. Especially psychologically. What might be merely uncomfortable for one person could push another person over the edge.

But wouldn’t Amazon be in the best position to have the evidence they do or do not engage in this behavior? Surely if anyone knows whether Amazon reduces product search visibility and the product’s prime checkmark it’s Amazon.

I don’t think he’s being sued at all. I think his blog post was cited as evidence in a lawsuit and so now Amazon’s lawyers are subjecting him to any and all discovery they can reasonably claim is even remotely related.

I’m not sure I follow why this is even a fact at issue? If Amazon policy applies a price floor to all Amazon sellers on all platforms they sell the product on then of course Amazon has caused higher prices for consumers elsewhere. Sure

What would be the motivation for a company to do this though? Trickery is not the way to win over new customers. The people buying these products want “not” milk. They’re specifically seeking out a product that isn’t milk. These compani

I feel like there are a lot of similar examples they just don’t get a lot of press. Naloxone was recently approved for OTC and they also recently approved allowing Mifepristone prescriptions by mail. They’re considering allowing a new birth

Sometimes I’ll revisit code I’ve written and think “wow, so dumb, I could’ve just done xyz” only to implement my obviously far-superior method and recall that I’ve already learned this lesson and there was a good reason I hadn’t done xyz th

Exceedingly unlikely. Cutting a deal and agreeing to testify for the criminal prosecution after you’ve been caught doesn’t make you a whistleblower. It’s also way too early. The FTX enforcement actions are only just getting underway.

Does it show schizophrenia is caused by living in the city or does it show that cities tend to have more homeless people?

I’m curious how we could ever reasonably parse cause and effect here? I think it’s possible smoking a lot of marijuana triggers something in certain people that causes schizophrenia but I also think it’s possible that people in the early st
