Is the threat of violence an issue for you, otherwise? Or is it overblown?

I'm just going to comment in this aspect: Now I feel too old to go to festivals, bars and clubs and make new friends that way. Don't know where you live, but in NYC and certain other cities the the bars and clubs (depending whic

I did not express myself well. And now it has gone down on my permanent record. Had I only listened to my teachers more, when it still mattered.

That wasn't really necessary? Perhaps not. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Yes, it's a woefully underappreciated and underpaid job. But unlike what must of us fully-hatched adults do with our lives - I do feel that (go

Nothing to do with disagreement. It's pretty obvious from what the two of them have been saying on the public record. Sorry to be blunt - if you take these guys seriously (let alone as "domain experts"), you're terribly

I was a fine piece, to be sure. The point is, it's customary to append that the title (so people aren't drawn into clicking on the article as if it's something new).

I see what you're driving at -- but on balance I just don't see a slippery slope here. Whether the executive branch is technically entitled to make such pronouncements or not -- or whether they "should" -- their rational

I certainly don't listen his program on a regular basis. But it's ironic that you're calling me out as unsourced; because the most important instance of a harmful anti-vax stance on his program comes not from his "domai

Again, who decides what is harmful? Anyone with a 9th grade education or so. Which is sufficient to discern that his advice to 21-year olds as to whether they should get vaccinated is patently unsubstantiated -- and likely to cause harm.

Because there's no substance to these "challenges". It's just about pushing buttons and creating the appearance of controversy - nothing more. It seems like only people who correctly challenge it get respected. It'

Except that Rogan's program isn't about "unpopular ideas" or "inconvenient facts". Let alone "challenging prevailing orthodoxy". If you seriously think Rogan's content falls in that category -

This may be a (very sloppy) overfit or some other kind of error on Apple's part. It is difficult to parse the official sanctions directives - but from my understanding they target only certain individuals and institutions - not the cou

OK, let me try again: "If your local 7-Eleven had Oui and Hustler on its racks last week, but they are gone this week, it has been censored." I would argue: "No - 7-Eleven either decided just those titles weren't sel

Basically what Jordan was saying was an extremely obvious misinterpretation of what Lorenz was actually saying. In other words: nonsense, not even qualifying as "controversial".

You're being a glass-half-empty person. Actually it's worse than that: you're being extremely hyperbolic in your condemnation of this research. I see health research a giant jigsaw puzzle (on top of other kinds of puzzles) -

Yes, they're possible -- but it's high-expense operation, intended to be used "infrequently". Which may or may not impact their use case. Just something to be aware of.

The thing is these tools don't track people; they track planes. And only planes. You don't know who was in the plane, or where they were before or after the flight.

Because barely edible and slow-poisoning food isn't a bug of the American prison system -- it's a feature. In, they're proud of the "whitebread and baloney" diet they feed these people. Not that vegan food can'
