We can have a discussion on if the money we spend is worth it sure. That's not what's happening now, Trumps not asking if this is the best way to fund research, he's demanding Harvard ban masks and punish students for engagin

The mask obsession these people still have is just amazing. So angry at being told to wear a mask during a pandemic that they want to ban anyone else from doing it now. I would expect better behavior from a toddler.

If you grew up in Saudi Arabia raised by a typical family then yeah sure, you probably would be fine with it. Culture of course shapes people and I think it's silly to pretend you could freely swap adults but that doesn't mean tha

I think FiveThirtyEight's method is overrated but they basically put the last three elections as 50/50. Given how close the three of them were that seems fair enough.

He was donating plasma so I don't think it should have effected his iron much compared to whole blood donation.

From the link in the article: https://www.lifeblood.com.au/blood/learn-about-blood/plasma/... it sounds like they test people who are RH negative who give plasma. So if you know you are a RH negative man or w

PEPFAR started in 2003 under Bush and has saved millions of lives. Of course Trump is dismantling it now but I think it's inarguably the best thing Bush did as president.

Who are the "Democrats" that you are talking about? No one held on to Joe Biden, he was president and decided he was going to run for re-election. No one seriously ran against him because people generally don't try to run aga

Just because you don't have a car doesn't make a neighborhood care free though. Like you still have to interact with them when you cross the street and such.

They didn't know who Kierans was though did they? Woods knew he was someone else, but no one else knew who he was until he confessed.

OK so? Do you think the president has to obey the laws? Will the FBI arrest him if they don't? What do you think the consequence will realistically be?

When Keirans first stole the identity in the 80s he bought a car with bad checks and got a job at a fast food place. Keirans had already had a run in with the law for car theft so working under a false name made some sense. From then on i

The legislature is the supreme power in the federal government with the power to impeach the other two branches. So no, it's not political grandstanding. Now if the congressional majority allows for the executive to take an illegal amo

The difference is Trump prosecution wasn't politically motivated, he legit did the crimes. Outside of Hunter Biden, who never actually had a role in the administration, no one did anything illegal. Trump has been produced to an unprece

The US provided 14% of the WHO funding but is 25% of global GDP, so proportionately we don't contribute as much as many other countries.

America has one of the most punitive judicial systems in the world and sentences people for longer then any peer country. Instead of doubling down on what's not working, why not look and see what is working other places.

That might have worked once, but modern stockfish has an estimated elo of 3642 compared to Magnus 2882. I don't think any human could get a draw against it these days.

To be clear the high level chess engines are so far above the best humans that there isn't a point anymore.

It's hard to put it in numbers since high level chess players start very young, it's basically considered impossible to become a titled player learning chess as an adult, with a slight exception for high level players from similar

The guy who bought it, Justin Sun, ate it. So unless it's going to get really meta (and stinky) he's not going to resell it.

In this specific case we know who bought it Justin Sun. He's a Hong Kong based cyrptocurrency investor who ate it. So it seems like in this case it was more about getting some press, and probably a bit of distraction against some of th

It sounds like a very interesting book that I hadn't heard of before. I am struck though that it only had 29k sales in the whole UK, I know fiction sales are fairly low these days but hopefully this gets it to more eyes.

I think Paracelsus was a committed contrarian who was going against a medical system that had a lot wrong with it and how it understood the body. That means he was correct in a lot of his criticisms, but he wasn't really any better whe
