Are we talking about the same Artimis program? The one that has produced agreements signed by 10 different nations or space agencies agreeing to guidelines for the peaceful, cooperative exploration and utilization of space? The one that has

Hrm, I can’t seem to edit this for some reason. I’m not being conspiratorial, although upon rereading I could see someone make that assumption. What I mean is that Trump is so hated that reversing his policies score political wins, regardle

“It’s okay to ban speech I find offensive” becomes “ it’s OK to ban speech deemed offensive by this committee” when it becomes policy. Then the committee becomes a target for influence or corruption, because if you control the committee the

It would. At least with colds, both the theory is pretty clear and there’s mounting experimental evidence. Zinc is pretty much a common cold cure, if you take it early enough and have a decent immune system to start with.

You are reading way, way too much into what I actually said. This is obviously a political issue for you and I have no desire to engage any further. Good day, sir.

The proposed mechanism for HCQ (zinc affinity) implies that it would be most effective if taken before the onset of symptoms, perhaps even before viral load is high enough to test positive. Obviously this makes it challenging to do a study.

No it is not obvious. There are entirely different governing laws (Outer Space Treaty vs whatever land or sea treaty applied to T-3, which wasn't clear). Had this happened in space, with the details otherwise the same, it would be 100%

It's also very region-specific. Because of the euro-centrism of these fields in their traditional naming schemes, the "Neolithic revolution" often refers to the invasion/migration of Neolithic peoples into better documen

“New nuclear reactor design” on google should provide you plenty of rabbit holes to go down.

Physics major with an interest in nuclear science. Does that count? > the sun is a giant nuclear reactor and we indirectly derive most of our energy from it. Radioactive elements in general are the most energy dense Worth noting that thi

Well Puerto Rican born residents are US citizens. The IRS makes it understandably difficult to change your residence to PR as a tax dodge though.

That's evading taxes, not avoiding taxes (legal distinction).

Puerto Rico would avoid federal taxes. But I don't think the OP should be making this choice based on taxes.

It's not a term used in America, outside of some extremely old black-and-white movies. Still I'd be surprised if someone born and educated here didn't know what it meant, since it must have been encountered in books or film o

Those images were on the news constantly when New York was having trouble 8 months ago. That doesn't seem to have changed much behavior.

All this speculation could be laid to rest with egg on the face of western media outlets with just one proof-of-life phone call. The CCP, who he would like to get back in good graces with, would certainly want that. So why hasn’t it happene

Edit window has elapsed on my other comment, sibling to this, so I'll add to it here. I've been through a very tough, life-consuming job before. I founded and ran a startup that would take nearly $200m in funding and grow to aroun

According to an unnamed source. They didn’t even talk to Ma. In any case, zero relevance to what I was talking about. I think you responded to the wrong comment.

Politely suggesting moderate policy reforms in the context of a business workshop dedicated to such matters is hardly "publicly fighting with regulators" let alone anything deserving of being disappeared. https://time.c

There’s a part-time PhD program I am looking at which would take a little longer but not compromise work/life balance. Lucky that it just happens to be the program I’m interested in anyway. My kids are in school from 9am-3pm every day

What I mean is that they were hired based on their acting CV and auditions. It turns out that a very small number of mostly minor actors had some run in with the law in their youth, and there is one actor who had been selling drugs decades
