Investment in cities' infrastructure isn't a subsidy, its seed money to get the economic engine humming. Once it is, Governments reap in the benefits of increased tax receipts.

Whereas, subsidizing rural and semi-rural populations, outside of those engaged in the primary sector, has no such benefit. In fact, they require more and more help as time passes with no benefits in tax receipts at all.

How is his potential conflict of interest, which you have stated accurately, relevant to the need to adjust for treatment effects?

Also, I created those graphs and sent them to him, so (1) he didn't create the graphs or influence how they were created, and (2) and I have no financial interests in that company. His company plans to produce a molecule that disrupts PCSK9 production, thereby reducing LDL-cholesterol.

If you think that the conflict of interest influenced the analysis in a way that you would have done differently, what is the alternative approach by which you suggest analyzing the data?
I do, but there also is a lot of pressure to close nuclear reactors because the perceived danger of nuclear power is a lot higher than its real danger.

Also, would you be in favor of _not_ changing the model for current reactors if updated models predict a shorter life time? If you think the model should be updated in those cases, that introduces bias. It also could mean reactor owners would stop making measurements, and that, in turn, would mean we would learn less about making safer reactors.

Not it is not a nature, it is nurture.

One shouldn't use appellation to a nature in such a matters. Compare: rape is bad, but the sad thing it is in a male nature, isn't it? No, rape is bad and intolerable. It doesn't matter what male nature is, because male is perfectly capable to curb his impulses. If some is not, they should use some kind of medication.

Do note that Xiaomi turns the OS itself into an adware platform. For now it's opt-out, but we all know how these things evolve.

Having a Huawei myself, I am not opposed to Chinese phones or anything. I'm just hesitant about any ad-supported tech, or tech that you can't own. I wonder if they ever stop supporting rooting/flashing your phone to stop people from undermining their profit model. Which would be fair enough if you understand how technology works and where your data goes and still choose to buy it, but (percentage-wise) almost nobody understands it sufficiently to make that choice.

Whats is your personal experience with Brtfs
No. The idea is that you use their service as opposed to running something on your own machine, which eliminates you as a nefarious source of hanky-panky. Think about running their list randomizer to pick one or more names from, say, a list of raffle entrants. The "trust" isn't that the result is going to be cryptographically random or anything like that, it's just an external service you can't monkey with, which avoids accusations of cheating.

Swap the analogy around. A cpu manufacturer develops a quadcore cpu then sells it for $1k but also sells a 2core cpu with 2 fully functional cores disabled for $500. This is a valid business strategy. One could imagine them offering the 2-core buyers a limited trial of the 4-core version to try to upsell them on a 4-core. That’s what Tesla did.

> How would you tease that apart? CAD requires some amount of inflammation ...

This was my point. On one hand, statin supporters use these studies to say "cholesterol lowering" is warranted, but there's no quantification on how much protective effect is from its anti-inflammatory properties vs the cholesterol lowering aspects. The anti-inflammatory effect is also not tied to reducing LDL alone, but has separate mechanisms (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3394171/). Rather than try to isolate the cholesterol lowering aspect, I'd be interested in studies that compared a range of anti-inflammatory drugs (other than just low-dose aspirin) to a variety of statins that also differ in the degree of their anti-inflammatory effects. But as far as I know (and I'm definitely no expert in this field), such studies have not been done.

> Coronary calcium scoring can be a good tiebreaker when someone's risk factors suggest that they should be on a statin, but they don't want to take a statin.

I know a healthy guy who has sky high LDL-P, didn't want to take a statin, and then got CAC imaging with a score of zero. If he hadn't talked his cardiologist into that scan, he'd be on a statin with all the side-effects it entails. That to me seems at odds with the "do no harm" mantra, especially when the CAC imaging seems more directly indicative of underlying CVD in asymptomatic individuals. There are many examples of people with low cholesterol (not on statins) who have underlying CVD as well as people with high cholesterol who have no CVD.

> There are many primary prevention statin trials. They all involve people with at least one risk factor (high blood pressure, etc). I consider them trials in "healthy" people, since they don't yet have coronary artery disease

Similar to your critique of the OP research paper, I am troubled with studies that treat all asymptomatic individuals the same and don't assess state of atherosclerosis (i.e., a CAC score) and differentiate types of risks (high blood pressure vs high cholesterol). The question is whether high cholesterol itself _in the absence of underlying pathology_ leads to worse outcome. If we have no idea whether the starting population has underlying pathology to begin with, IMHO there's a problem with extrapolating those results to asymptomatic people with those risk factors. Other risk factors like HBP may actually be causal.

> Marxism, or the morphed variety of the CCP, also originates from the West. That doesn’t mean that Mao or the 6/4 movement didn’t have a genuine appreciation of “Western ideas” and want to implement them.

You may as well say the earth belongs to the West now?

> And yes, the West causes lots of problems. At least there is freedom to discuss them, and the probability of being sent to a camp for pointing things out is extremely low. That doesn’t discredit Western ideas; indeed, the self-awareness and capacity for self-criticism of the West is an important feature of its political system that the CCP increasingly lacks.

Not sure if your "view" is rightfully "RIGHT". Did you even count how many people have died due to the wars caused by the West?

Human rights is definitely important, but in the eyes of CCP, the West is more of a threat, this is not current, I think it started from the Opium war?

Moreover, the recent banning Huawei cases, The West is right about this? I think you might not know, it's because of the power of 5G, US wants to have it first.

Not to double comment, but the other completely fallacious part about this line of reasoning is a conflation of team productivity with individual productivity. Different beasts. A productive team with high cohesion will outproduce a team full of all-stars with low cohesion by at least 10:1, sometimes north of 100:1, but that's mostly because the team full of all-stars with low cohesion works _so_ poorly. One is dysfunctional, the other is not.

I don't deny that the US is far bigger. And its density far lower, even in individual states. I'd imagine that does raise costs. But the US is also proportionally richer than Denmark, per capita ($62k vs $52k), not per square km, mind you.

That being said, I do get an impression that more money is lost in bureaucracy/company "fees" in the US than in Denmark.

> Hetzner Cloud offers 20 TB (1 Gbps) for each cloud instance, but has locations only in Europe

I've looked at them to use for my email/small web server and like their prices and features, but am not sure of the GDPR implications.

Currently I use a US cloud provider, and I'm in the US, and so am a controller or processor not established in the Union, and all my data processing takes place outside the Union. All my GDPR obligations, if any, are those that arise under the extraterritorial jurisdiction provision of Article 3(2).

If my server was hosted in the EU by an EU company, would that still be the case? Or would GDPR now apply via the in Union jurisdiction provision of Article 3(1)?
> What do you do when that interest wanes?

What do you do? You pay for support, plausibly via a crowdfunding-like mechanism - continued development and maintenance being something that's encompassed by "paid support", of course. What do you do when interest in a piece of proprietary software wanes and the original developer goes out of business altogether? Never mind, you answered that quite nicely already!

FLOSS is more viable than non-FLOSS in the long run. And we have solid empirical evidence of that, because we still have code from the 1970s and 1980s chugging along nicely as part of our modern Linux distributions. Try that with Windows 10, or even mac OS!

And yet, in the meantime...

I’m not sure about power lines, but that’s certainly not true for roads. A large portion of road maintenance is paid for by state and federal budgets out of the general tax funds, with the amounts varying based on where we’re talking about. Local drivers pay for some of their road coast in the form of gas taxes, but in no state does this cover even half of the cost road maintenance.

The true question is: are the values that OSGi stands for (still) reasonable?
The values are: modularity as core concept at build and runtime, low footprint adaptive services and vendor-agnostic specification.

Now, OSGi may have a poor image in the current Microservices/cloud vendor driven bubble. But let’s step a bit back and ask:
1. isn’t constructing software from building-blocks useful? What’s up with reuse, synergy, not throw away software?

2. Wouldn’t services be useful that don’t just die but reconfigure (adapt) when upstream dependencies change/go away?

3. Is time to market really the best incentive these days? What’s up with making sure software is constructed with security and privacy in mind? What about assuming your startup isn’t sold (sell and forget) but you need to evolve it?

So, incidentally those qualities are part of the OSGi values made up about 20 years ago. If not OSGi (a messenger of values), wouldn’t the values make more sense now more than ever?

What about „green“ software development?

FWIW, the Greek philosophy of Aristotle adopted by Christians later on said that souls existed in vegetables, animals, and in humans.

Christians added to that the idea that the human soul was immortal and could survive the destruction of the body.

I think any philosophizing about souls probably came long after humans began hunting for meat to survive.

Sure, about as much as hardware from any other manufacturer. Maybe Fairphone might be more trustworthy than the rest because they care about the supply chain and are not that popular (hence they're less likely a target), but other than that, I don't think I'd trust any brand over another based on their country. They all get their parts from all over the planet and the software is also from all over the planet.

I'd rather look at their profit model, which in Xiaomi's case is not just selling phones: they bake advertisements into the OS and are open about that being part of their profit model. Which would be fair enough if everyone understood how technology works and where your data goes, but very few people really understand that. For now, you can opt out and/or root or flash your phone, but this kind of thing usually becomes mandatory once the majority of people got used to it and there won't be a big outcry. Turning it on mandatory affects everyone, but turning it on as opt-out gives the media little to talk about; then, when most people have left it turned on anyway, it's a much smaller change to make it mandatory.
There are such open source licenses: LGPL and MPL for example. These, however, come with their own set of caveats.

It's very common with firewood bundles in areas of New England where, in the summer, a lot of tourists are buying firewood to burn at a campground.

Seems to me that the farmers will need to charge a premium to make up for theft, assuming that the total amount stolen is greater than the cost of someone sitting there.
