The only really valid point there is the culture one, which is actually our problem and the reason we're not already using socialized medicine country wide. It would work fine, everyone would be better off, but half the country would

You're entirely missing his point; imagine all states implement the exact same system, if that'll work, then it'll work for the nation as a whole, size is irrelevant. Yes, there are other factors at play, but he's addre

I didn't name call, saying don't be something isn't remotely the same as saying you are something. If someone tells you don't be a jerk, they're not calling you a jerk, they're warning you you're nearing

> I want to say "size matters" Saying it does't make it true. How about justifying why you think it matters? Because we can talk about any population in terms of percentage which factors out size. I suspect when you try

And too much water will kill you; too much of anything is bad, the question is in what amount. However, I was unaware of the estrogen thing, very interesting, you do see that in women. As for it being a vasoconstrictor, so is caffeine and

I don't assume that; I simply don't assume they are because they are in smoking. I'm saying the science isn't in yet, I'm not claiming it's safe.

Might and may are one thing, the OP said definitely, and that's a bold claim as we don't yet know if it's definitely anything. Had he even said probably that'd be ok, but definitely, no, that's not supportable.

There's a whole lot of may and might in all that; but you have to see it from the perspective of a smoker, not a non-smoker. It's clearly vastly safer than smoking. Any smoker who switched can tell you how they're starting t

Not criticizing you dude, just commenting on why there may have been down-votes; people don't like it when you imply even unintentionally that researchers are stupid and aren't looking at the right things. I have no expertise in

Lung cancer is known to be caused by carcinogens in smoke, vapor is not smoke, you cannot simply transfer the ills of smoking to vaping just because. Nicotine alone is not harmful, it's addictive, but not harmful, it's not what ca

Don't be a douche, obviously I don't think it's the same hence my comment. And I'm willing to bet, same as you, my source was Google to verify my memory of something I read long ago.

Ralph Johnson, a prominent Smalltalk'er, was advisor on that paper and was the creator of the first Smalltalk refactoring browser and that paper is littered with references to how things are done in Smalltalk. I was unaware a C++ was i

Which is why Smalltalk's refactoring browser has a manual intervention step to allow you to see what it proposes to do, and remove any steps you don't agree with, as well as the ability to scope your refactorings to a package or c

I can do all of those things in Smalltalk, which is dynamically typed; these things are not byproducts of static typing, they're simply byproducts of mature tools. So no, these are not arguments in favor of static types.

HTTP is not obsolete, it might be outdated, but words have meaning and HTTP one of the most used protocols there is, calling it obsolete is silly.

Not disputed, so what? What point are you making? That we need to give the free market another try so it can fail again? Healthcare lacks basic price transparency, consumer choice, even the ability to know what you're buying before

You're forgetting something, you can still choose to work and collect the basic income; that's rather the point. BI does not make you dependent on government, it simply allows you the option, which by the way gives you more contr

OK, little more liquid than I expected, I just glanced at the order books on bitcoinwisdom. What happened on Gemini looks more what I'd expect, a deep and fast crash as all the liquidity was eaten.
