This assumes the lack of negative externalities from such a system.

My god, that paper is absolutely terrible. The science one, while not without issues, is much much better. The title also sucks less.

The issue here is the notoriously shit science media with no room for nuance. This one goes in along with "SCIENTISTS CURE CANCER" in which you get potentially interesting findings that get blown horribly out of proportion by what

Cause there's sizable opposition to government issued IDs. IMO, it's bloody retarded that this feature is still non-present in the US, resulting in all the pseudo ids like driver's licenses and SSNs.

Wait, when does this happen. In my experience, the sort of document undergoing peer review is rarely the sort to be read by laypeople to begin with.

Yeah, no. There are many conflicting beliefs and values held and no way to keep everyone happy. You don't avoid beef because it's a sacred animal to Hindus. And if your attitude and approach reflects that of the protestors, then t

>Stunning fish with electricity is a common practice when it comes to counting the population or tagging them, the department explained. The stunning does not kill the fish, only temporarily shocks them so they can be counted or caught.

First, that is a terrible analogy. If I'm interpreting the ops statement correctly, this is more analogous to a system where post-tax income decreases with rising income instead.

I think you're making a false assumption here though, particularly with this line: >There will never be as much competition in medicine as there is in food (unless it is in the 'Uh, oh, a handful of companies own all of the far

So TL;DR, prices are high because of poorly done / too much regulation?

I think you're probably coming from a "I have a billion years of experience with linux, so it's all easy" point of view. Linux first install CAN be smooth sailing till the first roadblock. Then you see a few things happe

Or you could get people to sort them into various recycling bins. This is how it is in Japan, amongst other nations. A good chunk of this recycling problem can go away with the right culture.

A mile is a somewhat long distance to walk though. A hundred meters takes less than a minute, enough that I'll just pop out and get something random. the 10min++ to walk a mile is an exponential increase in friction.

Please read into the drug development process and clinical trials. You might be rather surprised.

Eh, I don't think most people think of Taiwan when they say "Chinese culture", especially in the US. The mainland and Taiwan are far enough diverged that they should be considered two fairly distant clades.

Prep classes can result in some side-channel learning. Adversity score manipulation... not so much.

So, controversial question here. Is there a racial divide by IQ then? I'm not talking about the cause of this, whether genetic, cultural or others. But right now in the United States, is there a sizable IQ distribution difference acros

Strong disagreement from me here. I believe that encouraging parents to invest in their children's growth is a good thing. Removing/reducing the benefit of this investment in the child is the kind of perverse incentive that'

I agree with you on the internet-influenced part, but not on the latter portion of your argument. Even if the anti-free speech movement is small, the majority of "left-aligned media" do echo their beliefs. This to me does swing t

Speaking an ex- and now current MTG player, it most definitely has a strong gambling aspect to it. If you've hung around box openings and such, you'll see the same highs and lows, especially right now when an IN PRINT card can and

On a side note, I find it extremely interesting that that same law you mention explicitly sidesteps an even older form of "child gambling" in the form of trading and collectible card games.

That's a good point though. Webtoons have the app, english-speaking manga communities have gathered around scanlation hub-sites like the now defunct batoto and their like. However, webcomics are in general stuck on late 2000s individua

I'd compare the Korean webtoon scene more to the american webcomic scene than to the professional manga environment. Maybe it also compares well to doujin, though to me it feels like the closest resemblance is webcomics.

Probably changed by this point in time. Most manga can be found available online in digital format now. Admittedly, I'm a dead-tree loyalist here.
