Yes, something like SOX (although one can argue that SOX, which was born of Enron, didn't stop the GFC or Maddoff). I think there's also a place for government to perhaps 'accelerate' the market to encourage certain beha

Not where I live friend. Water, electricity and gas are all privatised. EDITED: to make the point - please don't assume everyone here lives in the US.

You're attacking a straw man. Where governments do well is establishing a regulatory framework. They don't deliver the clean water. They (should) ensure that the water that's delivered meets a standard.

As someone who's spent 26 years in GA and met many folks also in AA and NA, I estimate that at least 80% have had childhood trauma. True for me, true for my eldest child.

This seems like a peculiar take. Outsourcing one part of your space program while your own capability is still being built, is surely just pragmatic and is hardly a leading indicator (let alone 'the' indicator) for European irrele

My crystal ball tells me this will neither usher in an end to scarcity nor will it reduce the cost of healthcare. EDIT: to say nothing of it’s effectiveness re: outcomes.

I can't say I agree with everything he's written, but boy, its hard to argue with the courage, patience and care it takes to craft such a meticulous argument for his choice. The highly thought-provoking monologue is a hugely gener

I take issue only with your use of the word 'progress'. 'Change' certainly.

One of the countries they’re exporting to is Australia and they have already gobbled up a big share of EV sales where I live. Based on my personal observations I see almost as many BYD as Tesla cars, however I suspect that in the last 12 mo

That’s a really interesting observation. This would presumably drive a measurable difference within the same country between the high-density cities and the rural areas. I wonder if stats are available on a per-locality basis anywhere?

I'm not using a throwaway so you can find out by reading my comment history. I choose not to make it easy for you because this thread is not about my country, and whataboutism misses the point. Yes, my country has significant issues ma

I guess what the parent article alludes to, is increasing political balkanisation, which is what I'm seeing. Not just a tale of two America's, but of many. The consequence is an increasing inability to act in concert for the good

As an outsider and long time observer of the USA, I find it hard to escape the conclusion that a collective madness has gripped your country and you are in a race to 'freedom' yourselves to oblivion.

It’s clear we’re rapidly getting to the point that geo-engineering is becoming necessary not optional, despite the risks (which can be pretty big). I’m happy to support such an endeavour with a single proviso: that not one cent of money is

Given the amount of glass in the cockpit bubble, the amount of sunlight coming in and the resultant glare will make these screens borderline unusable surely? I’d almost have preferred seeing a pilot AR headset instead.

The problem with articles like this is that it will be true until it’s not. At some point I believe it’s inevitable that advances in battery tech will mean background running apps will become a thing and at that point the article will be th

Perhaps I didn't explain myself. What you describe re: sedentary and stressed etc, would definitely be expected to lead to an increase in deaths, however those deaths would not occur _at the time_. Many (most?) of the deaths from those

Your first point would be a contributor to a surge coincident with lockdowns, although even for that cohort some/many of those would not have occurred straight away but may have occurred outside that time window (though accelerated). N
