you can almost certainly do a chargeback on your credit card, then they have to come after you, and their legal costs will hugely outweigh any payment they are seeking

To be fair, Tom Mueller was also head of liquid engine propulsion at TRW as noted in the wikipedia link, he wasn't exactly an amateur. I had the same initial response to the gp, but I think they got it right: "The primary issue f

As a doctor, I find it hard to understand why or how a substance that is generally unreactive could cause health problems in the human body. Generally, the less reactive a substance, the less it causes health problems e.g. helium (sure, i

try alternately flossing, then using the waterpik, or vice versa. You’ll find that either way, the second modality dislodges food particles left behind by the first. I take that as evidence that both > one > neither in terms of dental

I think you really want the papers posted to be driven by the users. But I understand why you might want an automated approach to bootstrap the site so that there is something there. If you're part of a small research community, it m

I would agree, assuming the patient workload is appropriate, I think it all depends on how busy the place is. I've chosen to do 24 hour ER shifts instead of 2 12-hour shifts in a place that would see about 1-1.25 patients per hour, mos

So the doctor gave the best correct general health advice to the patient, AND did the appropriate test, and appropriately reassured the patient regarding the pre-test probability of a good vs bad outcome of the test AND followed up the ra

I think your example is pretty much the definition of zero-sum thinking - why would a benefit to you automatically "subtract value from the system". I would argue it's a positive sum transaction - the person you helped rece

So an article by an organization that is pro-palestinian (“working to oppose occupation and apartheid”) publishes a story relying on multiple anonymous sources - Is there any reason we shouldn’t consider this propaganda? has this magazine

I took it to mean that whatever amount of money people currently think would be needed to be "fair", say, an increase from $20/hour to $25/hour, would within a year or so become "unfair" again, even if inflat

"The Idea Factory" is a great book about Bell Labs, it doesn't talk about tax breaks or subsidies as much as the need to provide some kind of public benefit to stave off the anti-trust regulator. Which is why they basically g

You're not addressing the key point - you seem to be saying that corporations are always greedy, but the comment you are replying to is asking why would they be more greedy now? If "more profit = more greed", is it also tru

yes, but the loan you took out to renovate the stores, buy new trucks, install new point of sale is risky to the lender, so it does change and increase the cost of providing those goods. Also, you say "pretty inelastic" - you

I think your point is true, but the implied causation is the other way initially - it's when we started getting rich (= increased productivity), that we could start to support increasingly large populations...which then in turn did

It's at 26000 km/h which sufficient for orbital velocity. It looks like it's in an elliptical orbit. I guess we'll see soon if they need to do a de-orbit burn, or if the orbit just intersects the atmosphere and they use
