Checkups save lives. It's a bit ridiculous to speak of needing evidence for that. Catching cancer early is of great importance. Hence the yearly breast control checks. The question is one of cost benefit in this regard and wether the a

There are waitlists but not for urgent care, this data suggest the US actually has the highest waitlists: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/health-ca... But maybe if you are rich you can buy a place fa

Not true. It depends on how you pay. Most automatislc payments in EU are actually SEPA Payments and are much easier to revert. One click in your bank app or online, within 3 months no arguing.

You are decide to cherry pick a statistic and conclude based on that the impact is minimal. There is nothing factual about that.

You are crazy. No healthy society has school shootings and it has no place in it. To accept anything less then a healthy and violence & gunfree place our kids can grow up in is insane.

Come on. What point are you arguing? I know you are most likely anti school shootings. But whats the point of trying to deny it's impact with statistics? Whatever statistics you try to conjure. 52 in one year is way too much. And 1 in

Still don't understand why US is so obsessed with credit cards. Debit is much more easy and straight forward, it's the standard in EU. Most of us only have cc to purchase stuff from US sites. Why such a complicated solution? Looks

Isn't these kinda of data points we often miss if we look at correlations in big datasets? They often get dismissed as an a anomaly.

OP knows it looks like that but is trying to explain what might cause that instead of genuine understanding.

Not really get your point. The Roman law system was pretty advanced without the influence of Judaism. India developed complicated law system before Judaism. Seems like it's part of human societies that grow in complexity, not something

It's hard to find the line between better safe then sorry. On the surface level you are right. But look at the cost of medicine development, it has exponentially risen to billions in the last decades, stifling innovation. And although

Yeah changing and updating laws sucks everywhere. I'm sure some places are worse or better. But most democracies are set up on purpose to frustrate the process.

The problem with this type of regulation is that you need to add huge amount of vagueness in the law to be future proof. Leading to huge amounts of uncertainty for companies, unnecessary red tape and higher legal fees. As well as giving the

Not really, that only really happened in the reformation for Christianity. The romans were already pretty good at law.

Yeah at some point gpt4 loses track and just consistently is wrong. Lately I can't feed it too much info, the longer the context the more issues. With your suggestion, it doesn't know which part of the iteration is correct at the

Just imagine in the 1500's deciding to set sail to Asia. Hardly having a map. No communication means, food that's not easy to store, nothing more then a compass and if lucky a shitty map. If things go wrong no one is coming to hel

I never said therapy needs to stop to exist. There is a place for it. It's just severely limited in what it can do. Just look at the numbers, it's very bad at "curing" people. There is no love, care, responsibility, advi

Therapy is part of the problem. Often things that people think should be solved by talking to therapist should actually be solved by family, friends and mentors. We try to profesionalize big parts of heathy communities and families so we do

Is it though? Don't know anyone who likes merging or rebasing. Especially big merges. I don't know a solution. But I'm sure someone comes up with a significantly less painful way at some point.

What makes it worse is, whistleblowers are trouble makers often. They are difficult people, at best like Snowden, they lay low. It makes it easier to dismiss them. Why? Because people who are good and social with the group do not have a con

Put that's kinda the point right. Downvote is now a mix of not liking how someone writes and opinion? I get downvoting because of the Quran comment. However to apply your comment "something wrong" to an opinion sounds weird.

Yeah I don't think I'm complaining here. But pointing to certain dynamics. There is a lot of the groupthink on HN, and this might be one of the mechanisms suppressing debating certain ideas. Downvoting definitely surpresses well w

Meta comment. Maybe i misunderstand the downvote mechanism on HN. IMO it should be used for inconsiderate, rude, spam etc. but not against an opinion you disagree with. Everytime I post something against nuclear it gets a huge amount of dow

Hahaha yeah I think it should just be trained on my morality, since it's undoubtedly the best morality there is.
