That would be fraud. As a recent immigrant myself one of my fears is that the high-trust culture that makes society work where I am now will devolve into a low-trust one that will make this place more like the third-world country I escaped

Fascinating! You'd have to do a bit more calculation though, as the distances were measured on a specific date: https://nccr-planets.ch/blog/2017/12/07/astronomy-in-your-wa... (Scroll to the last pa

Individual priests, nuns, and laity have often been at the forefront of defending people's rights in dictatorships. The organisations' track records have been more checkered.

What evidence do we have that infection confers immunity?

That part about having to do the visa-stamping outside the US does not make sense to me.

This doesn't address GPs question about why, if local talent is plentiful, companies are willing to spend a lot of money and jump through several hoops to pay top dollar to immigrants when they could pay the same to a local and not hav

I don't understand this thinking. Do you think it's fine if new endemic diseases are added that will kill multiple of 10k or 100k people a year, every year?
254.
by jpmoral 6y ago
Interesting, but it's not enough to come to a general conclusion. Without understanding what the mechanism of infection was you can't say that's how it works for everyone, everywhere. Are we seeing this anywhere else? We&#x27

Ah, I meant it's unlikely we'll have a sanctioned event for the Cannonball Run, but thanks for the interesting links!

by jpmoral 6y ago
How about not driving at reckless (your word) speeds on public roads? I'd be happy to see sanctioned events but I doubt that would happen.

Fair point.

by jpmoral 6y ago
Perhaps the fact that we act like utility monsters to other animals is part of the point. Also, no snark intended but 'case in point'.

Alright, without any evidence to back it up there is no reason to believe that you are likely to catch covid at home as anywhere else. Edit: I don't even understand why there are 'political sides or movements' to this in the

by jpmoral 6y ago
I agree it would be difficult to prove that they caught it at work, but saying they can catch it as easily at home just sounds like 'reopen' rhetoric to me.

Maybe because they have 2FA on other stuff? E.g. ANZ have it on adding BPay and Pay Anyone recipients, changing contact details, and some (apparently randomly selected) fund transfers. Not saying it's secure, just that it may explain t

There's also live online play e.g. on discord or roll20. Each table is different, do a search for groups on social media and ask about what their games are like.

I don't understand this PoV. Regardless of the Chinese government's incorrect handling of the coronavirus, deliberate or not, they did not dictate nor control the US response. I'm sorry about your friends' grandparents,

You forgot to mention they are also taking the risk of several other people dying or becoming seriously ill. But I understand you may not have thought of that.

You haven't explained how blockchain is both useful and necessary in finance. The useful part you asserted without elaborating, the necessary part I don't see.
267.
by jpmoral 7y ago
The OP specifically asked to leave cryptocurrencies out of it and judging by the post does not consider finance to be a 'substantial' example. Are there any concrete examples where blockchains are both useful and necessary?
268.
by jpmoral 7y ago
Why not? Maybe not in an airplane and not at an airport, but the same general idea.

by jpmoral 7y ago
I prefer the question. Saves me having to ask what they think it should do. "X doesn't work" often isn't very useful feedback in my experience unless accompanied by more detail.

What about stuff that you do care about? Would you go against your principles then?
