This is not talking about index funds. You would not call out a specific stock inside an index fund in a disclosure like this. You could figure it out, bit it's just simply not considered a conflict of interest.

Your examples are awful. Liberals, if there was such a thing as a monolithic block, are the ones that want to use government resources to combat people using dirty needles, and want to provide shelters for the homeless. Some conservatives

Is there any reason to think they will start strictly enforcing it? One ruling confirm an already existing law doesn't seem like a watershed moment to me until we see it changing the way companies are prosecuted for their behavior.

I mean sure, but most of the time Comp Sci degrees have Freshman compiling code on day one. This is a pretty be qualitative difference if the above comment is true.

There are plenty of institutions that do this already. Dictionaries, University English departments, other academic institutions. I don't see why having a single centralized office to do this would be better, especially with a langua

But this would still present an environmental pressure, which would drive evolutionary change. Maybe not this specific gene, but if the environment is driving changes to our anatomy, it will drive changes in to reproductive fit. Maybe not

by enkid 5y ago
What do you mean by environmental factors? The environment drives evolution, so changes in the environment would change who survives, which would lead to evolution. If it is an environmental factor that led to selection of individuals hav

Currently, the best science says if you had COVID you should still get the vaccine. The CDC and all of the evidence points to that. This isn't close. This isn't like, what happens if you fall into a black hole, where there are

How do you weigh that against the long tail of a COVID infection having long term effects? We already have evidence of that, and zero evidence of that with the vaccine.

"Pro-vaccine faction" sure sounds like a loaded term. Look, the CDC says if you were infected, you should still get the vaccine because it gives additional protections. This paper says the same. The vaccine is extremely safe fr

There is very little risk to the mRNA vaccine. So, what do you mean "warrant exposure to 50 Billion copies if mRNA." This is just trying to throw out a big number to sound scary, but in fact tells you nothing about the risks.

by enkid 5y ago
We really need to be careful making claims like that. There is no evidence this is true and there is evidence that getting a vaccine gives additional protections even if you already had COVID. https://www.cdc.gov/media&#x2F

Some monitors do have speakers, and not having enough functionality for a remote to be needed is exactly why someone would get a monitor. A remote for a non-smart tv these days would basically be an input control and volume. Everything el

Special relativity may not require a lot of math, but it's results are still very unintuitive.

Vaccines are still necessary, they just aren't sufficient.

Except there are multiple states out if ICU beds because they tried this. Every person in the hospital with COVID is another person who can't use that bed to get medical treatment.

The 95% effectiveness was based on the version of COVID that was circulating at the time. No one said it would be 95% effective against every possible mutation. Claiming the results of those studies are wrong instead of a result of a chang

You can give honest feedback to someone without verbally abusing them. In fact, not giving honest feedback can be a form of mental abuse. I'm a strong believer in continuous honest communication, but that doesn't have to be in t

This is abuse apologia. The exact same argument could be applied to allow any sort of abusive behavior from sexual harassment to physical abuse to breaking safety laws. Just because someone gives you a paycheck does not mean they get to a

Look, the article is making a historical argument, and your talking about the modern ways wars are fought. I believe the author has an incorrect belief about how historically battles were won, and I pointed to several historical examples.
534.
by enkid 5y ago
Historically, not really. It was the norm for people leading the fighting to be some sort of elite. Think the nobility in middle ages Europe, the Spartans' control over the way more numerous Helots, the caste system of India, and the

by enkid 5y ago
Surely there is some sort of acknowledgement of an elite class in societies that have disproportionate power. For example, the Spartans over the Helots, the planter class of Antebellum American South, the caste system of India, etc.

The quoted passage seems strange to me, and is probably incorrect for the normal interpretation. If you were in a position to win a battle, say you were a general or led a large force of fighting men, you were probably already an elite of

I think the parent poster is saying some EM experiments weren't initially replicated because of the peculiarities of the set up, etc. Another example is that some people couldn't see the Galilean moons initially. This made initi

I literally overheard someone (at a science museum no less) claim the mRNA vaccines were the beginnings of the mark of the beast basically because they messed with your genetics. People do take it seriously.
