I don’t think it’s a good idea to have the heavy hand of the state interfere on such a trivial issue.
Noooo think of all those beautiful single family homes desecrated for less worthy uses
Noooooo you can’t just run independent experiments you need institutions and phds and bureaucracy and gold plating nooooo
Bro you don’t have any statistics.

I don’t think that solved his problem.
What's SNR?
That's a long way of saying that it's just inside people's heads.
Are there any risks that are real and not just in people's minds?
It's outside bounds of expectation if you know how language works. People expect products labelled "boneless" to have no bones. Words mean things.
Don't worry, his doctor doesn't know what a differential equation is either so this is a large improvement.
Dichotomies are generally false, whereas other forms of systematizing knowledge are more often correct.
This is a good point. Doctors can prescribe drugs approved for disease X off label to treat disease Y even when effectiveness against Y has not been proven. In this case, the drug has not been approved for any disease…
Completely false comparison because the drug in question did provw safety though the clinical trial, only effectiveness that could not be determined. People should have options that are not certain death.
Except that I don't think the FDA should do that? I'm arguing that people should have options that are not certain death.
Picture the situation: someone you love has just been diagnosed with a death sentence disease with no know treatment. The FDA just chose not to outlaw a promising but unproven new treatment for it. Now you get to choose…
The author clearly needs to add to his skills the ability to give advice while not being condescending. In particular the bit about how in the good old days everyone had excellent social skills and calligraphy but now…
It's necessary to mandate oversight for internet usage by under-25s (the age when brain development stops) at the federal level. Enough is enough!
This is a lot of mental gymnastics to pretend people don't need places to live. More people are born, hence more housing is needed.

Disappointed that the article didn't say which type of body parts. Organs for transplantation?
Roman law and old English law were actually used in real legal systems, and they are studied because they are the basis for the legal system we use today
Just take public transportation like everybody else
I think a key problem with Reddit is that when you create a subreddit (and obtain the final say on all moderation decisions) you also get the name of the subreddit and URL forever. This means that early arrivers have…
