Fun but also infuriating at times for me. Without spoiling, when the characters were being presented with evidence as strong as possible that X occurred because of Y and not Z they kept scratching their heads wondering if Z wasn't the

I don't really feel this is correcting anything. There is nothing misleading about it since it's still the same point! Gove adding on some vague qualification at the end does not change the intention. Experts almost invariably fit

It's almost exactly the full EU freedom of movement. In theory Swiss have to provide priority to Swiss nationals but otherwise there are no restrictions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_movement_for_work

Closing my eyes on 2CB projected neon patterns like the geometric patterns you find on central Asian mosques. It was incredible and I could really concentrate on the details.

I largely agree. My point about not tolerating it extends to how we behave towards each other. Perhaps even primarily so.

One of the best ways for those of us in the democratic West to combat this is to not tolerate when our own governments promote false narratives. This displays the virtues of our imperfect system better than anything else, imo. Don't to

I agree. However, I do wish to note that bad actors are recasting urgency as panic.

That this ultra simple thing to wear a mask meets such resistance really shook me up. It's a minority of people but it's a much bigger, louder, and powerful minority than I ever would have expected. Still, I remain hopeful as to b

If we could summon the political will to do that we could already summon the political will to transfer subsidies that go to fossil fuels to renewables instead and that would mostly end the need for nuclear. *slight edit for clarity

Most manual financial work in banks is not on mere transactions. It's on higher level structures such as doing due diligence on lending. A small fraction of the employees are actively keeping the basic transaction mechanisms going. Res

We have free universal healthcare in Austria. And the state carries responsibility for problems as long as a vaccine has been officially approved. It was possible to get COVID vaccine before approval (off label it's called) but you ass

It's not certain yet. The government are preparing the measures to try to do it though. We are entering a 10-20 day lockdown countrywide from Monday though. Meanwhile in Vienna airport you still have small smoking rooms full of passeng

That's institutional inertia and bureaucracy. Don't mistake it for the typical case. First job out of uni and can handle a lowerish salary? Find the startup scene in your area and network like crazy.

It does and I really hope that is the case. Was just wondering if there was someone informed enough reading that could confirm this is indeed the case.

But that it votes on something is significant and often leads to implementation of something similar eventually. And since you know that it does not mean implementation and I know this then we both should assume many or enough people know t

This zero hedge obsession with the gold standard and simplistic view that if it were reinstated the problems listed would be largely eliminated makes it hard to take them seriously. You know who also is not on the gold standard? Every other

To be a bit more precise, qualia are not the ability but they are the actual experiential event. The sensation, the conscious experience of seeing red. What qualia are made up of are not easy to be accurate about. My favourite thought exper
