2k for a studio in Dublin, east bay area about 1 hour via Bay Area Rapid Transit, assuming you can walk to work because BART is extremely limited for a mass transit system. 3k for a two-bedroom, so probably split the difference for a 1-bed.

OK, so the major issue that I see here is that the average person doesn't have the education to make an informed health benefit/risk decision. Would every member of the population who is uncertain about stuff be willing to go thro

Hey no, don't drag vape into this. World Health Organization estimates are at least 95% less harmful than smoking. That's harm reduction. Don't get me started on the studies that are skewed though, there are a ton of those.

How would you suggest a placebo-controlled study (we can easily make it double blind once placebo controlled) for any disease be structured? Please tell me your study design, because an ethical study design that doesn't put lives at ri

Anyone trained in medical carries out appropriate screening to not vaccinate people with contraindications. This brings the rate of actual risk very close to zero.

You can't placebo-control because that would be highly unethical leading to sickness and death that would not have otherwise happened. You can't double blind as soon as you cant placebo control. You can't do crossover because

If you're saying that the standard of 'reporting' on health and science in the media at large is often conflicting and distorted into a confusing and often contradictory form there is definitely validity in that. John Oliver

Thank you scientists. Also this is why we need to legalize coca leaves, so we have a natural alternative to coffee in case of future scarcity.

The risk is overall low, often this debate gets hijacked by debating over degree of risk, which is impossible to exactly establish based on epidemiological data. All the data we have indicates no risk to vaccination, and some risk to not va

Ethically yes, obviously it's many orders of magnitude worse to deny your septic child antibiotics than it is to not vaccinate them but in my view it's on the same spectrum. The data we have is all epidemiological, which is inhere

Ocasio-Cortez has given me new hope that the political system can still be changed for the better, its similar now to the roaring 20's but not too late. It just has to be dramatic, and it has to start with us the people demanding chang

The issue here is that these are parents making decisions for their minor children, not themselves. For example it has been ruled child abuse and illegal for Christian Scientists to deny their minor children life-saving medical treatment.

It's not an impossibility just an anomaly to be self-made and requires a lot more luck than just gumption and hard work. The far-greater majority of wealth is inherited. Technically you could argue El Chapo was self-made, so its possib
