Can the gov site see who requests age verification? They already have to know who they're verifying because how else would they verify age?

Do these cryptographic tools prevent the government entity providing them from knowing which websites verify your age? If not, then that's too much Uncle Sam watching over your shoulder as you watch your porn.

If the data is important enough, e.g. bank accounts, there needs to be a backup to 2FA that is relatively painful - to make it resistant to attack - but not impossible.

Maybe we could make the case that medical school, malpractice insurance, administrative staff costs (e.g. to deal with insurance), etc. are too high. That's a more actionable way to look at it. Edit: We should also pay attention to the

But they have to worry about the state medical board revoking their license. That at least moderates wanton opiate dispensing.

In other words, a free market paradoxically requires a regulatory regime.

If a free market requires unlicensed medicine, then no thanks! There are reasonable arguments for removing licensure from some other professions, but medicine isn't one of those. I'd argue that the US is actually too lax, allowing

I gave one episode a listen and can now say it's not what you described. They conveyed actual scholarship but kept it light-hearted. Religious fundamentalists might not like it because it doesn't start from the assumption that the

As long as the approach is rigorous scholarship in good faith (is it?), it shouldn't matter too much.

I was Christian in 2000 and we thought Jesus would come again definitely, probably then too. There have been soo many disappointed millenarians in the past 2000 years.

I'm still in fear of nuclear holocaust. That problem hasn't gone away even if it's not top of zeitgeist now that other existential threats are so popular.

Good to know. I was just adding to what you said that even if you don't get a positive result before a colonoscopy, the colonoscopy might not be covered as preventative care. Insurance just really doesn't want to cover it.

Funny, I would expect the opposite, or at least there would be a different class of problems with LLM assisted C. What guardrails would prevent this, and if there are no tradeoffs with the power of C, why haven't we put those guardrail

I think we're confusing general anesthesia (not generally used for colonoscopies in the US) with sedation with something like propofol which is pretty common.

If they find something suspicious during the colonoscopy, they won't bill it as a free screening anymore and you'll be on the hook for it. Ask me how I know. No regrets about getting screened though. It saved my life.

A matter of taste, both are fine grammatically. The verb "to do" isn't obligatory to form the present tense.

We tend to emphasize diet a lot, I think because it's something we can control, but it might not help as much as we hope. Eating a healthy, plant-forward diet while minimizing alcohol and red meat might give us most of the benefit we c

It's a narrow view of justice that equates it to well aimed violence.

Even assuming the stats are measuring the actual miles traveled and not the planned miles (I'm not sure that's true), the difference would be vanishingly small given how rarely planes crash on takeoff. The overwhelming majority of

Simple patriotism isn't what I read Chesterton to be referring to here. Patriotism leaves space for cosmopolitanism, but this passage sounds an awful lot like the "blood and soil" of fascism. I don't know anything about

by stvltvs 2y ago
So cosmopolitanism is bad because you are somehow less strong because you're not rooted in your homeland? Why is this not just proto-fascism?

Is this a valid complaint? I hear people talking about "cosmic truth" all the time. I've participated in plenty of dorm room discussions and online debates about religion and the nature of things. The upshot seems to be that

I don't think OP is talking about a mere title change when asking about career changes. I've had lots of different titles when I change companies or old titles become unfashionable, but only maybe one career change.

It sounds like you're unfamiliar with the split between the news desk and the editorial desk, two separate functions in the same org. Last I checked the Fox News news desk was a pretty reliable source of info. All the editorial program

Having a viewpoint isn't a sin. The SCOTUS justices are allowed to rule on cases from a political viewpoint - even if it's euphemistically called a judicial philosophy - so why hold podcasters to a higher standard? At least they&

I agree, but that doesn't stop us from missing someone when they're gone, like a friend who's moved far away. The difference is that death is so final. There's absolutely no chance to call them or visit them. They'r
