The wholesale price does fluctuate minute by minute. The grid and the average consumer/retail user is not yet sophisticated to take advantage of what you propose. We know this because until recently, this ‘ideal situation’ that you p

This is a relevant discussion of cancer ‘clusters’ - the TL:DR is that whilst they should be investigated, there is actually no evidence of a ‘cluster’ being more than background noise generally, because actual causative agents have a disti

Yes, there’s a protocol and it’s called the alcohol withdrawal scale. Advocating for people to switch from alcohol to xanax to quit drinking… this is utter madness and I strongly advise anyone who reads this to completely disregard this adv

That’s really interesting. I’m reminded of something the PhD Pharmacologist Psychiatrist told us during med school - effect size of new depression meds decreases over time (probably because you have an early positive result and then it’s pu

Ahh I see. Still, seems like it still isn’t that correct to call the Neptune an air launch? Like, we don’t know, but clearly from the available info, the Ukrainians have engineered it to be a ground launch. I mean, it requires 3 other vehic

Not that I’m any expert, but it sounds pretty much like you are incorrect? When deployed, a Neptune coastal defence system comprises a USPU-360 truck-based mobile launcher, four missiles, a TZM-360 transport/reload vehicle, a RCP-360

You're right but it doesn't really feel that way (and I would think that as a percentage of spending, surely the superhero franchises have a fair fraction?) It would be nice to see more new, original sci-fi and action. (but perhap

That’s an interesting take on the remake I hadn’t considered before. But as someone without an artsy bone in my body, I wish something other than superhero movies could be made

No, it still would have crashed, because it only was taking angle of attack from one sensor, and so would have been under the erroneous belief that it was stalling

We just need a good recession to shake us up. We’re so comfortable that no one is motivated to make good decisions (or advocate for them). Murdoch definitely has a lot to answer for though. I don’t know - I feel positively about a bunch of

Thanks for the explanation. I’m very aware of the possibility and methods of a number of different organisational structures, but mostly from sci-fi which has always been a breeding ground for these things (probably the biggest and most wel

There are lots of ways to do democracy. I used one example because I am most familiar with that one example - australia has the Westminster system but it also has preferential voting which forces many of those same compromises and deals. Fo

Which is a point where, say, Westminster system or similar really starts to move ahead of the US system - not only do you have reasonable multi-party options (to varying degrees) but also issues don’t boil down to a single person - the douc

I agree that fracking is not a great idea with the risk/reward profile. The cap/cover program is still running but the vast majority of open bores have been covered now. It's an interesting area because the vast majority are

I agree that viagra/cialis are generally safe for the majority of people. I guess the question with regard to the subscription prescription model is what are the subset of medications that fall into the right risk profile for the model

In responding to your example first - to start with, I live and practice in a country where it isn't a choice between healthcare and food on the table. Beyond that, I believe that it is a basic human right to have free healthcare. The

You’re confusing 2 issues when it comes to Australia’s water usage. The first is the Murray Darling Basin, which is the 4 state disaster you’re talking about, and the many poor outcomes it has created. I grew up (and my parents still live a

But then the receipt is even less representative of the underlying thing you’ve gone and bought in opensea or whatever. Like, it’s not even pointing to the same bits on the same platter somewhere that’s meant to be so special. Don’t get me

Well, they’re digital receipts. Because the thing that it’s representing could still disappear or go away. Maybe that has heaps of value, maybe once the server ther points to the thing you’re meant to own goes down or the asset at the url c

I’m not here to argue the finer points of the merits or ethics of capitalism with you, but the fact is that under our current system they provide a very important and essential function. Your ideological approach to rebutting the facts as I

Market makers have an important function in providing liquidity even in the absence of underlying asset. However this can create unusual and aberrant situations that certainly warrant raising these sort of questions in order to determine ap
