Well the scientific basis is that you're killing another human (the fetus, scientifically, is another human, with its own genetics). Of course, you still need a non-scientific, moral basis to decide whether murder is bad, and other cir

do you have any studies that back that up? IMO the chime, if anything, decreases safety (it interrupts the driver's attention)

It's literally illegal. In the EU, it's illegal to sell cars that don't have back camera, not beeping if seatbelt not fastened, and not beeping if speed limit is exceeded.

I could hardly disagree more. The by far best system I've witnessed was the Swiss healthcare system, which is NOT a single-payer system. Some features: (1) health insurance is obligatory for all residents (2) must be private, cannot be

If you get an O1 visa, does it have an expiration date? Or can I use it later (in a few years, e.g. when the baby grows a bit older)?

The real answer: If CloudFlare serves a lot of traffic (i.e. people on the internet are requesting stuff from CloudFlare's servers), they get better peering agreements (i.e. pay less) from internet network providers. When "normal&

No, the point is that the preferences of "average" people (Brexit, Trump) are surprising for the "elites".

You're wrong on both counts. Fining for blocking intersection isn't stochastic. You simply don't enter the intersection if you're not sure you'll be able to exit it. You wait at green light. Simple. That's

All these issues have better solutions than congestion pricing. Cars blocking intersections and/or sidewalks can easily be solved with automated traffic fines - that's how Zurich and London does it (the former without any congesti

Um, it’s beef. It can be eaten raw. Ever heard of carpaccio?!? Only two reasons to ever cook beef: (1) taste (2) quality

by tomp 2y ago
That doesn’t make sense. It’s beef. If you can serve a steak medium, then you can also grind the steak, cook it medium and serve it.

Wow, what's wrong with burgers? I mean, certainly you can get bad meat, and maybe it's easier to conceal in a burger than in a steak, but ... how about literally all other processed meat that is invariably processed more than bu

It’s obviously different than in Germany, where nazis were (mostly) homegrown. I know several second/hand accounts (i.e. from people who had it happen to their family). Murders, theft, barbarism (stabbing a pregnant woman in her stomac

The bigger question is, how can Tesla with it's non-working "full self driving" compete with Waymo's working actual self-driving.

That by itself doesn't mean anything. Their profit margins are higher than average but not exceptional. https://www.financecharts.com/compare/UNH,CI,ELV,CVS,MOH/sum... But even that doesn't mean anything
