It is a combo of the economics, and the need to do something, anything - they encourage quackery. ~10k fine when a doctor trained as a gp killed a kid with chellation, along with a temporarily suspended license. A GP isn't trained

The quacks will try to give you chelation therapy before a blood test to be certain that metal will show up on the test. Chelation is bad for your body outside of the circumstances where you really need it, like if you were a miner or somet

We had lots of modeling that showed the payback around FSD [Full Self Driving] and Robotaxi was going to be slow. It was going to be choppy. It was going to be very, very hard outside of the U.S., given the regulatory environment or la

It is reductive, but I feel like most of her viewpoints derive from a personal hate for the experiences she had with her graduate professor. When critized, she doesn't defend well against that point, that she is disenguine in her cr

Hard agree; I think they have neither. They are sycophants. I was assuming good faith for some reason just to make a point.

The contention is that they in particular aren't good faith actors unlike other outside actors, iiuc.

This would be like saying the gun rights activists are only doing what the NRA tells them. Does the NRA have employees in the same numbers as the entire pharmaceutical+ industry? In your hypothetical though, in those numbers, it would be w

Big Pharma spent big on Bernie Sanders How did you come to this conclusion?

This worldview kind of unfairly discredits the beauracrats who aren't awful, which seem to outnumber the grifters? From the perspective of say DOGE, there is plenty of reason not to fire the former out of zeal for chasing the latter.

I think they were making a bad comparison purposefully mocking you to make a point.

It is still actively developed and used, yeah. People tend to mention the fpga scene most, tcl is the predominant language there, but I use it mostly with or along side audio/visual software.

This works really well on the less conventional android browsers I use. Kudos to them, says good things about the library.

As music played where once there was news, how many former soviets were listening and thought, "ah, I remember this."

Also, I know it is namby-pamby, but that hasn't been what I've heard people say for a while now.

The strategy is, "this will make trump feel good today." Trump is terminally online, or in front of a tv, never ending his media diet while simultaneously absorbing no real information about the world. There is no strategy outside

You felt the need to comment to tell people to be disinterested in compassion? Anyways, the ash spill is from well before Trump's ascendance.

In one sense, a lot of what he does is to avoid shame. The man is insanely thin skinned.

He is indeed an idiot. Often more of an idiot than anyone else around.

The tariffs will raise prices, and more than on imports alone since they will up margins elsewhere else to compensate for the destroyed ones. Price gouging COVID style is going to happen as well. The White House has screwed us.

Our government is starting to have a bit of a 1970's Cambodia feel to its anti-intelligentsia.

Glenn greenwald has been supportive of unitary executive theory the past few years, now. What a sad turn around.
