Cold winters can mean death for people who are homeless. It's not a convenience, it's a survival strategy.

Genuinely curious: what sorts of results have you achieved by employing fear?

Until you're out of money. Then life becomes very much about money.

Yes! Cockpit/Crew Resource Management (CRM), too. As a developer who manages other developers, I'm completely fascinated with CRM; I found a whole lot of the material and concepts useful at work despite being nowhere near a airpla

I do the same thing, unapologetically. In an emergency, I'll get a voicemail immediately after the call, tap once to play it, and call back. I'm not an EMT: if that extra 30 seconds matters, the number to call is 911.

Yes. For a while, you could buy beta-phenyl-GABA in a mass-market grocery store here, right off the shelf. It sounds relatively harmless, but beta-phenyl-GABA is a flat-out synthetic GABA-B agonist [1] developed in Russia in the 1960s. It w

You've made numerous unacknowledged factual and logical errors already, and appear to not understand the limits of the RCTs you're citing. I don't see any value in continuing this discussion. Have a great day.

The Sweden study absolutely does not show that, and I've explained why elsewhere in the thread. The mere fact that something is an RCT does not make it instantly generalizable to all populations, no matter how many times you repeat the

I was assuming a chip and pin style card. These, as best as I can tell, seem to have most of the security of a phone-based solution, but with a much smaller attack surface (no internet connection, no cellular radio or baseband processor) an

Here, I'll give you another comment to downvote: your original claim that was supposedly backed by the Swedish RCT was "giving poor people money does not improve health". You've now reversed the direction of causation. M

The US absolutely does not have a universal health care system; roughly 33 million remain uninsured, and a large number of those who are insured do not have adequate savings to pay their high deductible (which can be as high as $6,000 per p

I read a few of the links you posted. To support a claim that "giving people money does not improve health", you cited an RCT examining Swedish lottery winners who were already covered by a UHC program. People who already have hig

The RCT you cite examines the effects of "wealth shocks" (read: unexpected winnings) in a population of Swedish lottery winners on mortality and health care utilization, in a country that already has access to taxpayer-funded un

All of the behaviors you cite could be caused by extreme stress, poverty, or threats to safety/well-being (rather than being a cause of poverty). I've felt it, and I've done it.

Why not just use the card all the time then?

I can show you some gravestones if you'd like. The US health system is essentially inaccessible to those with chronic but treatable conditions who aren't continually holding down relatively good jobs. I can go and get my major dep

There are also people who simply don't have access to sufficient bandwidth to make use of cloud storage. Forcing it on would make the OS and my internet connection useless to me.

In practice in the United States it's been shown to present little to no burden. These cases have been widely covered in the press. Again, see the link.

False, at least in the US. The government's case is considered to be against the property, not against you. The standard of legal proof is a preponderance of evidence, not beyond a reasonable doubt. "Assets [are only] returned if

You didn't mention a trial in your previous post, but rather a low standard of evidence to "make a claim". In that scenario, the burden of proof is on the victim of the property seizure rather than the accuser, which makes it

Depriving someone of their property – even temporarily – and forcing them to spend otherwise profitable time making a claim to get it back is a form of damage. What you're proposing would allow agents of the government to damage people

How do you propose to detect when the reason is fabricated? Legal systems need to be able to detect insider attacks on themselves.
