It’s not gatekeeping, it’s being able to contribute by having foundational knowledge. Anyone can (and people often do) make big contributions in health, but it’s hard without deep knowledge. Not everyone who does software engineering needs

Injecting rooms are a well known and demonstrated way of providing a safe space for IV drug users whilst also providing the opportunity to engage and provide information and services to get help. I don’t particularly think opiates should be

It’s not the worlds public square. It’s a gladiatorial arena (maybe WWE/performance art would be an even better metaphor) for the US culture wars. If they could please get it over with soon so we can return to normal programming, that

This is not a particularly strongly true statement, and in fact there is quite a lot of evidence that for the vast majority of coughs/colds/viral infections it is in fact false. This is evidenced by the surge in infections a child

I dont think you can jump back though, right? If you change a previous prompt, you’re just resetting to that point and creating a new thread at the expense of the old one? I use this feature but have coke to the conclusion this is how it wo

your comment is still a gross misrepresentation of the economist 'voice'. I've been a semi-regular reader for at least 20 years, for instance, and have never seen or heard reference to Bjorn Lomborg. For example, I just logge

No one is getting (properly) diagnosed with schizophrenia with incidents of drug induced psychosis, which is what you’re describing. Schizophrenia as a diagnosis relies on the presence of both negative and positive symptoms (as defined in t

Why? I don’t understand the logic of what you’re theorising. If your right side is damaged, why does having your ipsilateral side help? How common would this have been from an evolutionary perspective? And if your right side is damaged, and

I get what you’re saying but the reality is many industries just can’t do this. I have strict data residency and sovereignty requirements - there are potential criminal charges. It’s a non-starter for lots of industries

You haven’t managed to make any strong assertions, just a smattering of pseudo-intellectualism. Thanks and good luck

Again, you’re saying that it’s cheap, but then responding to criticism they’re bespoke by presenting an untested technology that has further lead time delays and may even be vapourwear. You still can’t spin up an industrial base in less tha

I’m not against nuclear but it is a long way from being cheap and easy. Look at the recent andventures with Hinkley C. And that’s with an existing industrial base for nuclear power. 25 bn pounds is 45 billion AUD which is what previous gove
