> the EU has literally banned facial recognition by law enforcement across the entire bloc. This is simply wrong: They have banned _live_ facial recognition - and with exemptions such as e.g. for terrorism and other severe crimes, which

In that case it would be nice to see any effort from EU against government surveillance. Sure GDPR and what not, but they're full of loopholes for allowing government to do what private parties are not.

EU is on exactly the same road, just with a (tiny) delay.

They all have uncomfortable side effects, especially the fatty-inducing ones. But insulin stands out for being able to kill you very quickly from a moderate overdose.

You have so much choice: For the pure fat experience I suggest corticosteroids, lithium or a random antipsychotic. Insulin is also very useful here, but a tad dangerous. If it has to be muscle mass, then anabolic steroids of course are pref

It can be unpegged at a moments notice. Euro countries have a lot more work to break free.

This is it. There is a mass-hypnosis in the west where reality at best is being completely ignored and at worst actively treated in a very hostile manner.

It would be nice if that was true. But school and university has taught people to first and foremost be obedient. That means a large majority of people doesn't care about the truth at all, only what the relevant authorities are saying.

There has been well-known processes for many years, to produce the relevant antibodies from industrial fermentation processes. If that is not being done, then it's surely because there is too little demand and the hurdles to get FDA to

Different countries switched to the Gregorian calendar at different times. Pope Gregory XIII papal bull went into effect October 1582, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar And so 15 October 1582 used t

DOGE gets its authority through the president. The president definitely has the authority to audit and/or stop illegal, fraudulent or just wasteful transactions. The exact shape or form of USAID is also up to the president. It was crea

The simple fact is that alpha males are a fact of nature. In wolves and in lions and maybe especially in primates like baboons and gorillas. It's hilarious that something so obvious is considered worth denying, but I guess it's an

You are focusing on technology. And sure of course you can get most of the benefits of AWS a lot cheaper when self-hosting. But when you start factoring internal processes and incompetent IT departments, suddenly that's not actually a

Cloud expands the capabilities of what one team can manage by themselves, enabling them to avoid a huge amount of internal politics. This is worth astronomical amounts of money in big corps.

But is this true? Is the number of cases where projects fail due to court actions really so many that all this proactive pre-documentation to the nth degree is necessary? Or is it rather that there are too many lawyers and administrators em

The main reason for this, no doubt, is that in most countries with socialized healthcare, doctors are incentivised to not put a diagnosis on the patient, as that is costly. In the US, with private health care, the incentives are the opposit

As said below, the sequence of the junk DNA does seem to mutate a lot faster than parts of the DNA which is known not to be junk, heavily suggesting that at least the exact sequence is not so important. Furthermore, in rats and mice, large

Elons statements were obviously not aimed at Faucis role in vaccine discussions, but in his much more dubious role in gain-of-function research and especially covering up the origins of Covid. While that is relevant to a scientific society,

I fail to see why this is downvoted. Many suicide attempts, especially by women, are obviously not serious but rather a cry for help. This is well-known and obvious to anyone having experience with these patients. Male suicide attempts are

And it probably failed to detect the true meaning of "coming home" because suicide seems to only have been discussed in a different chat session. In the earlier chat session, being more explicit, the bot seemed to attempt to talk

This paper is certainly shameful. But one should not exaggerate the impact it had. The strongest support for the amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer's comes from multiple sources of evidence that are completely unrelated to this paper.
