the spirit of such a law is great, but there's a huge problem - what does the implementation even look like? Are we going to have regulatory committees oversee which types of data should be portable and when? Who writes the protocols

Sure, and how do corporations make money? by doing something that the generally pro-social public finds valuable. Of course it's not hard to find examples of corporations acting poorly and even examples of anti-social behavior making

It also allows corporations to use that software to provide society with a good or service that is valuable. If you're like me and believe the whole of mankind is generally pro-social - permissive licensing enables that majority to do

Interesting, some of the libraries you mention such as graphql and http, I feel there aren't better libs that exist than absinthe and ranch/cowboy. Which graphql library do you prefer over absinthe in other ecosystems?

Sure, I've not seen any claims that vitD cures covid (although I can imagine they exist somewhere) - but the full body of science leans heavily towards it being a strong preventative measure against the worst clinical outcomes of a cov

If you want a more full scope of the body of studies around cv19 and vitD I suggest checking out this site [0]. I'll honestly never understand how studies like this make front page or top headlines in mainstream news. Even if vitamin D

I just skimmed thru one video, mind giving me us the highlights? The argument that cows water requirements are mostly "green water" (i.e. rain that grows the crops they eat) seemed reasonable to me. So I have to imagine your &quo

the decision may or may not be dumb, but appealing to the popularity of a decision is never logically sound. There have been incredibly unethical things done throughout history with far more than 1/3 approval.

and neither you nor your employer would be in the wrong. There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting no limits w.r.t. political talk in the workplace but people like myself very much prefer a workplace where I don't have to bit

I have a hard time imagining a complete uprooting from your normal routine during a global pandemic would result in a short-term productivity gain that would then decrease as workers become more accustomed to remote work and are less stress

What data are you aware of that suggests women are more interested in analyzing DNA than men? I've worked on genomics projects and while I've not looked at industry data, my experience was that it was heavily male dominated. I si

crypto is male dominated as well so if wallstreet is war and crypto is peace - I'm not sure where you're pulling gender out as the interesting difference there.

aggravated kidnapping in the US often gets 20 years in jail. median sentence for murder is 13 years. I can imagine you might think the sentence would be lighter but there's nothing preventing heavy sentencing for kidnapping. edit: hold

You can't traffick humans without kidnapping them and holding them against their will. The whole point is we already have laws on the books to prevent that regardless of whether prostitution is legal or not.

That's simply not true at all. There are beneficial viruses, but that isn't my point to begin with. My point is that viruses are unavoidable. That being the case you want to experience many endemic viruses to boost your immunity

Alternatively, maybe we should mingle with animals more often such that novel viruses are common enough that we experience them with far more cross-reactive immunity than we did with covid. I'm of the opinion we have a long way to go b

The title is a bit misleading, I still don't know why we need to know the origin. Will that somehow help prevent future pandemics? I'd love to understand the origins out of scientific curiosity, but sadly I'm afraid too many

I have nothing against wearing masks, I have everything against mandates that haven't been shown to be effective. There's nothing strong about a theory that already has massive amounts of data disproving said theory. Personally I

I don't see a single RCT among the reference list, maybe I overlooked it? Case studies, simulations in labs and models do not hold a candle to the findings in an RCT when it comes to trying to understand and predict reality.

Plenty of studies linked, but never a study to show that masks have any impact. Does a single RCT exist that shows masks in gen. pop. reduce transmission? I know the Danish study showed they didn't for covid. There's also a meta
