I would argue the availability of factors that confound it suggest that the effect of moderate alcohol consumption must be tiny

I wonder why countries that are dry don’t have better health outcomes than those that aren’t

> Creating a public institution with no pressure to make profit is a disaster waiting to happen.

This is the model many rich country healthcare runs on, and provides measurably better outcomes for less expenditure than the US.

Funny, I feel like there have been a bunch of _revenge porn_ legal cases recently that disagree with your assessment

I’ve never heard anyone talk about Hulu and Chill

What do you believe the chances of it hitting that reactor are?

If we were to assume that falling satellites hit nuclear reactors with a frequency of once every 200 million years, how much money do you think should be spent preventing accidents of that type?

The other way this is done is by using a black glass: https://www.wineware.co.uk/iso-type-black-wine-tasting-glass...

I would _highly_ recommend “Freedom from Nervous Suffering” if that’s your issue. Claims to be a book about agoraphobia, but properly fixed once and for all my fear of flying.

I’ve found committing a large chunk of money, in front of friends, to causes I detest it I don’t hit my goals, to be like a magic wand for this stuff.

UKIP haven’t yet received £1,500 from me, and each week I’ve been tremendously productive and done everything I set out to with that as a threat

I feel like now — after the recent furore — is a great time to be on Facebook. They know they’re under the microscope for privacy issues, and have the time and treasure to find real solutions. Also, naive as it might be, I think Zuck genuinely cares and wants to fix what he’s broken. I am less inclined to trust any other service to get both security and intentions right.

Also remember: virtually none of us have been in that situation, or know the context, so any kind of judgement about it is ridiculous.

My one complaint: I have to use the various companies’ shitty players to access the music. Spotify’s discovery is just about making me not hate their “value-add” too much, but the consumer is going to win big when startups can one-stop license all the music for $10/m and start doing interesting things with it

Excellent points and a shame you’re being downvotes.

The linked article adds significant detail

You’re the first person I’ve seen suggest it isn’t, so perhaps the onus is on you?

This feels like old news, given:

Also, regarding the Shrekli case, didn’t everyone end up financially better off than they started?

No, that’s not how it works in most of the world.

Also, you are not required to show that you picked the best candidate possible, just that you didn’t discriminate against someone on the basis of protected categories.

One way I know I had an ok childhood was that when I found out the gas giants didn’t have a surface I could stand on, it was a notable and memorable low point

> So the court thinks that the presence of content in German means that courts in Germany have jurisdiction, regardless of the fact that PGLAF is entirely in the US?

I suspect that if the Brits started claiming jurisdiction — well, _everywhere_ - on this basis, then that would raise eyebrows

I live in Thailand. People can squat here. People have all sorts of sitting and office injuries just like in the West.

I think the author and you are targeting slightly different things: she identifies who is amongst the vanguard who bring it into power, you are observing that once in a Nazi state, most people will go along with it

I would have thought they all requires trustees. The point is not so much ownership per-se, but about who is legally authorised to make decisions.

I spent some time a while ago trying to figure out how humans can be eliminated, and couldn’t find a structure.

Don’t go, leave it for the people who need it

I wrote my MSc dissertation in Markdown

Nobody gave a shit when it was the dude or the cat. This whataboutism is absolutely mind-blowing to me.

> they are unable to track and log information like they can on US(ish) phones

This seems remarkably unlikely. One would have thought the security industry would have noticed if Huawei had particularly robust security.

The economic argument is difficult to make, because it raises costs on American companies who are consumers.

It’s structure seems to make it particularly resistant to bribery — commissioners tend to be popular but no-longer-elected politicians
