They're probably talking about access to TVs and smartphones.
I'm sure they have just as many cases as we do here in the US, where we're extremely diligent about testing. History will prove you correct.
Wait, been I've been told "you can't just shut down travel", and that closing borders doesn't work, for reasons that are completely self-evident. So I'm utterly mystified that there are virtually no cases and 0 deaths…
"This is not an appeal to authority fallacy" ...yeah it is. Remdesivir has improved patient outcomes in the majority of cases it's been used so far - no, it hasn't been subject to comprehensive peer-reviewed study quite…
How was the US doing as a nation when it was more exclusive?
No thanks. We don't need to cram every square mile full of people.
I agree - ran into this problem with my dad. He had a rare cancer that quickly stopped responding to hormone therapy (the only kind of treatment known to work), and deteriorated rapidly. We called Sloan Kettering to see…
I'm still not getting it. What mechanism allows for knowledge of the effect before the cause objectively happens? For the third party to observe the effect, the cause had to have happened from Earth's perspective. The…
Then it doesn't violate any fundamental laws of existence, does it? We're just talking about receiving delayed images of events. The ship isn't engaging in backwards time travel by contacting Earth after seeing its call…
>What does the ship see? They see the phone call received on Proxima Centauri. Then they see the phone call placed from Earth. Effect precedes cause: causality is violated. In fact, if the ship had a FTL phone set up in…
How does FTL violate causality? I've tried reading on it before but didn't understand it with my casual understanding of physics.
This is all just supposed to be self-evident? What even are you talking about? Be specific.
If someone becomes a NAZI after being tossed in jail for no good reason, well hey, fuck em'. How about we stop justifying hurting people because of their (in this case retroactive) violations of social/political norms…
I'm not interested in arguing over how best to increase the GDP and labeling all regulations subsidies, or having the meta-debate over how everything is technically a subsidy. I'm talking about animal rights, human…
Nothing is inevitable. We're not slaves to the market. If the market means small farmers can never be as efficient as factory farms and finance, and may not have any place in the economy at all without contracting out…
Eh. Outside of using USAJobs I have never gotten, with such clarity and absolute certainty, a comparable sense that I was completely wasting my time. It's a resume black hole to which Taleo pales in comparison. I've…
It's a sin for good reason, and the secular case against usury is just as strong. It's among the worst manifestations of rent-seeking, economically worthless behavior for anyone but the usurer. This kind of lending is…
No. Whatever effect the 737 MAX grounding has had on Boeing's profits pales in comparison to the benefit gained by rushing the plane out the door to get in front of Airbus and thus making billions in sales contracts.…
George Soros should not be in control of anything.
>When I close my eyes, it's black. Just, black. Well, you know, depending on how bright the lights are, etc. Maybe you already know this, but non-aphantastic (heh) just see black too. When we visualize something, it's a…
Who do you work for?
One startup I interviewed at, as an experienced developer, told me (paraphrasing here) "you'll be paid a salary lower than what you probably expect, and your first few months you'll need to work overtime to get used to…
The continuously-activating MCAS is such a monumentally stupid and dangerous system that I think you'd be a fool to trust any Boeing-engineered aircraft. I'll be avoiding them for the next few decades.
A more honest framing is that the issue is disagreement over what discrimination means, not that it can't exist or is good. Probably the most contentious issue is representation itself. Can a group of people be…
