To be fair I would rather have Oil go into Patagonia shirts, than be burned and release CO2 into the atmosphere

The federal reserve exists at the pleasure of Congress, and Congress can abolish the fed if it chooses to.

Sex Workers are well aware of crypto bros saying "you should be using crypto for this" It clearly doesn't meet the needs of these customers, regardless of whether or not it's "supposed to"

If that's the case why can't OF impose these requirements on their creators?

Combination of needing lots of infrastructure, and lack of political will. If US decided that instead of waiting for green tech to emerge, we would just simply stop burning fossil fuels and revert to an Amish standard of living until clean

If there isn't any "critical infrastructure" which can be damaged nearby the fire, smaller intentional burns can keep fuel accumulation low.

To be fair the immigrants have a much better life in the US, and if you're worried about the US population dropping, boy would it have dropped more without that immigration wave.

Which is ironic because letting the leash out is what has caused the rise of China. A Maoist China would not be an economic powerhouse

People dying in Algeria won't realistically get the US, French, or Chinese governments to significantly cut fossil fuels supplied to their citizens.

One of my classes in high school used "competency quizzes": * Several easy math problems * Unlimited re-tests * You had to get 100% to pass

Although we are tempted to think "automate away doctors jobs and take their salaries", it's more achievable and more valuable to provide existing doctors with better UI/UX which helps them make better decisions. Bayesian

The reason a doctor is educated in general anatomy is so that when their specialty hits edge cases, they are able to reason about what could be the underlaying cause. This reasoning in a sparse information environment is exactly the scenar

Fossil fuel companies aren't greedy monopoly men burning oil for no reason. Oil companies sell oil to consumers. Imagine if US gas prices went up overnight to $10/gallon. There would be riots. Jan 6th would look like a warm-up.

China is on the UN security council, so they have as much De Jure power as the US does at the UN

Diplomatically, this is extremely relevant. If Chinese state actors are culpable for the pandemic, it seems plausible other nations will seek damages from the Chinese government. If not paid, they may levy fines on commerce from Chinese co

Early on, I read that even though people who die of covid are typically old, they have plenty of time left. E.g. an 85 year old dies, who would be expected to live 10 more years.

I'm not sure if I agree that New Shepard isn't a "serious rocket". Falcon 1 has a low payload (small satellite) with medium energy (LEO). New Shepard has a medium payload (crew capsule) with low energy (suborbital). As f

Yes Bezos is definitely passionate about business, and certainly as a business Amazon is 1 if not 2 orders of magnitude above Tesla or SpaceX. However, Bezos would not start a rocket company if he wasn't passionate about space. As the

I've seen and heard of this in Mexico and Latin America as well. A lot of US housing styles, such as saltbox and narrow townhouses, are also attempts to game older versions of the tax code
