There is any kind of party you would want to go to here, except for maybe like, Ozarks style river hooliganism.

Do you have in mind something like what happened with tobacco in the 60s, when the Surgeon General documented negative health effects publicly and extensively, but ultimately stopped short of recommending any action against it? In my experi

The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America , published in 1962, details how news media in the 20th century transformed into a powerful engine generating passable stories and news, fueled only tentatively by developments in the real wor

On the other hand if most people still have to work by the time we're 75, then our generation has completely failed the moment.

Probably want to spell check and also say something more about the Fukushima Daiichi units. Highlight them positively like this is very bizarre.

Launching isn't the whole mission though, even if you can achieve that rate. For every launch you also need hours of time for rendezvous, docking, and fuel transfer. And even if somehow there is a solution to this schedule, you're

I'm confused by why you'd point out that historically parents were more ambivalent, if not to excuse Jefferson having enslaved his own offspring (which was not actually happening to everyone all the time).

Jefferson was a wealthy and powerful man who abandoned his own children to slavery. What kind of technological context might be relevant? The hindsight concern is valid in some cases but his was far from an "any one of us might be next

If this really came down to a nondisparagement clause that would be shocking. Getting to make an offer on the rights to some of the best selling music of all time is itself substantial. This explanation would also diminish the emotional&#x2

It's not like the order's authority has to be constructed from constitutional primitives. So what? There is plenty in the order explaining it on the grounds of mitigating the spread of a deadly contagious disease within the states

Every order of the executive branch is null to the degree that it exceeds its constitutional authorization. I don't understand your point. It isn't the CDC's job to prove that Acts of Congress are constitutional -- in fact it

Yes, it does. Read the "Findings and Actions" section. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/02/03/2021-02...

I don't get it. You're saying now that without no-fault divorces, free love, nudity in movies etc, we would have more war and famine?

Everyone gets rent control, whether they'd be "on the street" otherwise or not. My brother lived in SF and drove down the peninsula to Google (an hours long commute) while living in a rent controlled apartment for 10+ years w

I mean, that's how most people see it. The novel (and extreme) claim here is that things like turn taking and facilitation are white supremacist. You can't just explain by saying "well in my opinion the KKK used to lynch blac

Most of society does view the people who save lives as heroes, along with those who have improved the quality of life, or contributed significantly to the eradication of war or disease. The amount of people to whom Elon Musk is a hero is ne

It sounds like the big issue for you and others is that this was a hit piece. Okay -- but it's not in general wrong to report the name of someone who has written a large body of influential work, especially when it wasn't unknown

It's not a reporter's job to protect people from their own conflicting interests. They can choose to withhold parts of a story after processing the ethical considerations, but "associating my name with the thousands of pages

Even if you can pull that much money out of... somewhere... Why is paying everyone to stop working the best use of the funds? Rather than paying for infrastructure or services or, I don't know, an awesomely large tower reaching into th

Aah ok my mistake, it does look like the "cash" account type is not the default. Thanks for the info.

Thanks. I don't use Robinhood but I thought your buying fund there consisted of actually-deposited cash. In that case why can't they use a customer's money to cover the collateral? Is it a business practice or a requirement

When you begin to publish opinions prolifically, you have to consider that it could result in things like a loss of professional opportunities. You might decide to go ahead and use a pseudonym, but there's no right or expectation in th

Angela Merkel is taken seriously because she's a serious person. Americans flipped out over Trump because he was in complete denial about the crisis. He had no credibility when he talked about reopening because he was also calling covi

It was massive in scope and objectively false when he claimed Covid-19 was completely under control, compared favorably to the flu, was just misdiagnosed sniffles/flu, that it was going to miraculously disappear, etc

Sorry. He would be indicted for causing the riot on Jan 6, and I think you were saying the Senate could use that to keep him in line until the end of his term. But if he starts destroying evidence or something and they go ahead with the con
