I guess it would be a large and massive upswell in the coming decades because dementia isa trailing indicator and takes decades to have effect on populations. China only started pumping out massive amounts of dirty pollution in the mid 90&

Does this imply that in 30 years or more we should expect spikes in China, India and other places with exceptional air pollution? I don't doubt it and they could expect other implications if the pollution also included heavy metals and

Especially that underpriced postage advantage (the de minimis exemption) that so many were taking advantage when shipping small shipments from China (and others). Maybe maybe this means fewer items of dubious repute on Amazon. It was a stu

How would that work? Infraction > Officers quit; new set of officers > infraction > officers quit; new set of officers…

That’s a limited population being moved for high value resources. This option does not scale for large populations. It’s easier and cheaper to rebuild.

How did Argentina “almost win” the Falklands war? I thought it was over almost before it started? Only thing that worked were some French missiles.

Wait; what would you look for a gov policy to do here? Stunt growth? Prevent efficiency or something else like what?

People with families have been fooling around with larger vehicles for some time: station wagons -> minivans -> SUVs -> CUVs. It's not new.

There used to be an OS X widget that had all the station melodies… It’s been a while.

It should be the default for corp accounts. But even home users would benefit form seamless document retrieval (recovery). Corp users’s biggest IT headache is lost Word or Excel files.

I think that's an incorrect framing. A more proper framing is that some industries are key to ensuring a nation is not dependent on another for key products that ensure a dominant (not supplicant like say Ukraine) position with regard

I'd be totally okay for them to charge by total weight/mass (passenger + luggage, etc.) Women would come on top (on average) call it even with regard to haircuts --children also get cheaper seats and it's the fairest system

Because some of it got through but it's not because they wanted free an open discussion. I don't know if Ivermectin would have helped anyone, but suppressing discussion is not good --especially when the thwarting was at the behes

I think what we saw during the pandemic was chilling. You could not discuss origin theories, you could not talk about Ivermectin, you could not challenge the 6 foot distancing or the surgical mask (lack of) effectiveness. The administrati

It's not a conflation. Being able to protest is part of free speech. It's like saying, the ability to publish a book isn't about "speech" but instead that is actually freedom of the press.

It's, to borrow a locally inspired term of a local socialist, "Orwellian." It's a bit ironic.

Other protesters also have said some vile things about other people and it's allowed to go on. So it seems that the law isn't applied evenly. In any case, people should be able to protest and should only face lawful restrictions

I think it's admirable that she wants to avoid government waste and boondoggles. Of course, lots of science careers depend on doing things that get nowhere. She favors science that results in tangible or discernable results instead o

On the other hand "establishment" science get their hairs up when she criticizes them, so there is that. She has had valid criticisms of the industry -and it is an entrenched industry like others. Basically the momentum that keeps

A possible reason people forget the previous meaning despite having used it with the old meaning is that they may have understood and used the new meaning for ages but used the old meaning in more formal settings.

Percentage-wise or numbers-wise? Also, some jurisdictions have been known to engage in a practice where criminals are charged with lesser crimes in order to make the violent crime numbers look good.

Warming and cooling would and will happen with people or without people -that's fact. The issue that many people have is about "when" it's happening. It upsets those that it's happening now as induced by people&#x

Ultimately they are tallying individual votes. The units are not harder to count in one system vs another. Maybe localities have processes that slow things down, but if that is the case, they can look to institute the processes of distric

Everyone should be invested in ensuring votes and the ballots are error free and untampered. Everyone should be in favor of accurate counts. We should also not be accepting votes with date stamps past election day. Or votes with no date st

Somehow India is able to process 600+MM ballots in one day. Speed in counting is possible.

Interestingly, in most of Europe, paper ballots and hand counting are preferred methods. We have seen times when electronic ballots have had glitches and have had inaccurate counts. Electronic ballots have experienced errors in tabulation

History, like archeology and paleontology, often take a set of facts or evidentiary items and weave a plausible narrative around it. The narrative can be neutral but also can be stereotyped (in archelogy unknowns are assigned religious sig

It's estimated that even during the Q'ing dynasty, literacy rates were at or below 10%. Over 90% of people were rural four centuries ago. No way you had country bumpkins being able to read and write. Same for Europe. You may ha

They jobs don't pay spectacularly well, but they pay better than Mickey D's and other service jobs, so they would be an upgrade to those jobs. Manufacturing tend to have union rep., if that matters. We have lots of underemployed

by mc32 1y ago
It's obvious that any high end manufacturing in any country capable of sustaining high end manufacturing will not produce jobs like in 1950, '60 or '70. But the same is true of service sector jobs. More is being automated.
