I don't see it that way. I think my language was neutral.

Your statement: "I wouldn't frame it as pro reopening school people prioritize schooling over life though. That sounds pretty bad and doesn't seem fair" takes a very specific cultural frame as well.

Plenty of people choose to risk their lives (or the lives of others) for all sorts of causes. I have as well. This statement sounds bad only if you take the position that staying alive trumps all other considerations. That's a very modern, Western perspective. Which is not to say Americans and Western Europeans act to protect lives at all costs, but to slightly generalize, Americans and Western Europeans morally believe that protecting lives is worth all costs. When that's not done, that's a moral compromise.

People risk lives to volunteer in dangerous countries, to skydive, for ideological causes, for God and country, to be #1 in athletics competitions, or to earn enough to feed their families. All of those reflect different value systems. The exact same statement: "Would you risk you life to protect your honor by ____?" will make you sound like a horrible person if you say "yes" in some cultures and "no" in others.

I don't think saying "I am glad to risk a few lives to make sure kids get an education" sound bad or seems unfair, and I don't think any less of people who say it. It's just a different value system from mine.

Where I do have problems is where people push their value system on others. I understand see the public health perspective, where your actions affect my health and my decisions affect your health.

But when my actions don't effect you (for example, keeping my child home), I should be able to follow my values. That goes broadly too -- if you decide not to teach your kids evolution, that should be your choice too.
The holistic perspective is that there is no one singular effective treatment for all individuals. It is a craft.

Perhaps curcumin works for one , not another. Perhaps the same curcumin works now, but not later. Or perhaps you'll never knows if it works at all. Being able to measure it is difficult. Welcome to the game.

It is a process that combines both thinking and feeling. (Intuition). Perhaps one day you step in shit. But the next day you find a flower. There is no right or wrong answer.

I do believe there are "charlatans" -- if that's what you want to call it -- who are attuned to this type of flow, or practice.
Thanks a lot! :) My fear is gone.

After reading the article, it turns out not all phytoestrogens have this estrogen-lowering property: this is a particularity of soy's phytoestrogens.

Beer for example has different phytoestrogens and they are not good.

On a reddit thread about this news, they mentioned that the company behind ufo vpn (dreamfii hk limited) is actually owned by lippo limited, which is owned by lippo group. I can't find any information on the web that back this though. But if this is true, this kind of shenanigans (saying they don't keep log but actually keep them anyway, then leaks it due to sheer incompetence) is not surprising considering lippo group's well known history of corporate malpractice and screwing up their customers and partners alike. How companies this shrewd (so shady and well known they became a meme) continue to survives (and thrives!) is beyond me. Maybe there is money in screwing people after all.
Gun owners are just as likely to be on tyranny's side as against it. If it was truly about freedom and anti-authoritarianism not a single gun rights voter should be for the actions taken by the federal government in Portland. They would be against Trump suggesting to send in the army - in fact, they would show force against these things - not against masks.
If there wasn't overexposure and editing, the fish would be just as black as the background, and you wouldn't be able to see them. Also, there may be none of those fish living in a more recognizable environment. A dead fish is too different from a living one, so it's not worth picturing them.

Those photos are actually very good. They show in clear detail how those fish look like, including colors (not all entirely black). They are indeed missing a clear indication of their size (that could be artificial), but otherwise there isn't much to improve.
I mean given that it's a buffer it can't exactly be held as an illiquid asset. How much interest can you realistically get on this, and is it worth the risk if a bunch start going under and you need the liquidity now rather than later?

But you didn't. You replied to those people that they could pry your guns from your cold, dead hands and they would be the first against the wall when the revolution came. You told us you and your guns were the only things keeping the only free state in existence truly free. You waxed poetic about watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. You called anyone who believed in any form of gun control a coward and traitor, clucking with disappointment and condescending to them that "Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a bit of safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

And you were happy to rise up in arms over something as trivial as local quarantine ordinances requiring wearing masks in public or limiting your God given right to go to Applebees' any time you wanted.

But when it comes to actual secret police snatching people up off the street into unmarked vans, I guess it's fair game as long as it's "leftists" getting snatched.

You're an interesting person. In the same comment you say "most people are dramatically overestimating COVID-19 risk," and then cite an article which says,

"Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) presents arguably the greatest public health crisis in living memory."

In other comments, you've claimed there's no long-term risk to children, while the article you cite says,

"emerging reports of a novel Kawasaki disease–like multisystem inflammatory syndrome necessitate continued surveillance in pediatric patients"

Then you just plain went to far, when you said "there is no theoretical basis for long-term consequences of COVID-19." Sorry, but "there is no theoretical basis" is an over-statement. If you had said, "The evidence indicates there are no long-term consequences," you would have maintained your aura of authority. But "there is no theoretical basis" is too far, especially since you cited an article that specifically mentions novel Kawasaki disease–like multisystem inflammatory syndrome. That's not just a theoretical basis, that's an example of a concrete basis. "There is no theoretical basis" doesn't mean, "the theory is incorrect," it means, "it's impossible for the theory to be correct," and that's a statement the evidence YOU CITED shows is not true.

I think you're more informed on the subject than average, but I am no longer convinced you have a good grasp of even the evidence you cite, let alone the body of available research. You Google well, but you don't really understand.

Unfortunately the way I see people defend this sorta stuff is that they tend to work backwards. They were detained because they are obviously criminals and they are obviously criminals because they are protesters and are guilty by association.

Though I have a feeling that if any of the anti-mask protesters were treated like this you'd see sentiment change rather rapidly.
Yeah, because we’re tired of mayors and governors letting the real fascists own the streets, causing untold violence and damage. If those folks are breaking the law, it should be no surprise when they’re placed under arrest.
Hm! We've tried a few different models for this. Oftentimes when you reply to an existing email thread, you'll get the same person. If you start a new thread, you'll probably get somebody new (since we optimize for fast replies). But even if you get somebody new, we try to pull up state on your account to pick up where we left off. So it sounds like we messed up in those email chains—could you forward them to me at edwin@stripe.com?

Big fan of Notable, thought I'd share it!
A number of very effective and non patentable treatments exist. Many of these cancers release a substance called Negalese which cleaves the vitamin d binding protein responsible for forming gcMAF, which activates macrophages in the presence of cancer and other diseases. Dr. Bradstreet popularized the treatment of administering gcMAF purified from blood and administering it to those afflicted with cancer. The results were startling and tens thousands were treated successfully and reversed their cancer. These people have testified on video to their recovery. However this came to an end when Dr. Bradstreets clinics were raided and shutdown. Three days later Dr. Bradstreet would be found floating in a river with fatal gunshot wound to the chest. It was declared a suicide. The Wallstreet Journal would run an article calling him a quack despite the mountain of patient testimony who had been successfully treated.

Another treatment is called vitamin B17, found in particular high concentrations in bitter apricot seeds. This substance has a cyanide component that only unlocks within cancer cells due to the presence of the enzyme Beta-glucosidase. Jason Vale was a cancer patient and arm wrestling champion who discovered that apricot seeds would shrink his tumors. He did this three times (cancer kept on coming back). He then promoted the anti cancer effects until the FDA raided his house and ended up throwing him jail arguing that since he claimed apricot seeds were treating cancer, the apricot seeds were actually classified as drugs.

The wikipedia articles about these substances have been scrubbed by the poisoning corruption of big pharma which has billions at stake if the public wakes up to the fact that many cancers can be treated without the use of chemo therapy.

Additional the FDA itself did a story on the B17 substance in the 1970s and committed a horrific act of scientific misconduct which saw the results of the cancer study inverted and drew protests from the research who declared the FDA had committed fraud against the public. Despite this the synthetic version of B17 called laetrile was banned by the FDA. However it’s still legal in mexico and very well tolerated. Today however you will see wikipedia article declare that B17 is dangerous and will cause cyanide poisoning, which is contradicted by the many people take high doses of this drug every day across the world without issue.

Another treatment is a dog dewormer called fenbendazole. Despite its efficacy on cancer, no one can get it in the USA for this purpose, they must get it for their pet and take it themselves.

The BBC and the MSM won’t talk about these three major alternative treatments that have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

Also, as the Google Whistleblower I exposed the YouTube blacklist that included as terms “cancer cures”, which was used as input to for Google’s bit twiddled search re-ranking system. You can find this disclosure to the public at website:

www.zachvorhies.com

And look for the blacklist section on the front page.

The scale of corruption is mind boggling. Shame on the BBC for running such garbage propaganda in favor of big pharma.
So, when did Utah ban non-competes?
How, exactly? Other than the highest leadership of the church (which is less than 200 people) that get a stipend, all of the leadership roles in the church involve a ton of volunteer labor.
John Gilmore used to have Jesus.com (when you could register domain names for free, long before the days of the web), but when they started charging for domains, he refused to pay for Jesus.com on principle, so then he lost Jesus.com from his life.

Personally (having no such principles myself), I would have paid his rent, kept him entombed for a while, then auctioned off Jesus.com to the highest bidder. He must be worth at least 30 pieces of silver!

Fortunately, after an unfortunate series of events (including a creepy Jesus dating site offering eligible women a chance to Win a Shower With Jesus), Jesus.com finally ended up being adopted by the Metropolitan Community Church, https://mcchurch.org (not affiliated with McDonalds), which is pretty good, as churches go. (Their French Friars are excellent!)

Yes this is risk management, and tbh holding 25% for 28 days isn’t all that unreasonable.

The main problem is most of the livable land is concentrated in the ‘wasatch front’ mountain range, and the valleys running north south along it. This keeps the available developable land within drivable distance permanently constrained.

While carrying around the government-issued rifle in public under certain conditions (IIRC it's only permitted when you're travelling to/from duty) is perfectly normal, I think what your parent comment was referring to was someone carrying a gun "to exercise their rights", as might be normal in America.

It escalated quickly.
You write as if there is a division of work between the couple. That would be true if men and women could decide who would stay at home and who would work at a company. In fact, women are required by their society to stay at home, so this is in fact a relation of oppression.
I couldn't disagree more.

A universe without consciousness to observe it isn't terribly interesting.

Furthermore - consciousness is strange enough that is an entirely defensible philosophical position to believe it's the building block of everything else.

> Of course it does. How is it that Utah is almost all white?

Utah can be all-white for entirely nefarious reasons and yet it doesn't follow that any given company (or other organization) in Utah lacks diversity for its own nefarious reasons. It's entirely plausible and likely that the company in question sampled without racial bias from its own hiring pipeline and consequently the company's racial demographics resemble that of its hiring pipeline.

As for why Utah's population is mostly white, I'm guessing the biggest factor is that a predominately white religious sect settled it. I'm sure there's some racial oppression involved as was common at the time, but I don't imagine that that was a particularly strong driver of Utah demographics. However, I could be wrong and it still wouldn't affect my original thesis.

> In the natural state of affairs, since we now have the ability to move around the planet faster than we reproduce, entropy would have the world be an even distribution.

I'm not actually sure that we can move around the planet faster than we reproduce. This is perhaps true for the wealthiest 1% or so of the global population. Moreover, to the extent that it's true, it hasn't been true for long enough to expect some global homogeneity absent discrimination. Absent any segregating forces (malicious or benign--more on benign segregating forces below), it would probably take millennia to get some discernible global racial uniformity. Further, there are benign segregating forces--for example, people of all racial groups tend to exhibit a preference for living in communities which share their language, culture, religion, and traditions (note that the standard group generalization disclaimers apply--this doesn't apply to every individual in the group and it doesn't suggest that this force is uniform across racial groups, etc). Similarly, the nations with the most gender freedom exhibit the least occupational gender diversity and the nations with the least gender freedom exhibit the most occupational diversity.

Yes there is an apparent a correlation between groups, at least with how mass media portrays things. But at this point we need less animosity between libertarian sects with different backgrounds and different immediate concerns. Rather than continuing to alienate them for being wrong, figure out how to make friends with those "second amendments against tyranny folks".

That's why: "What does a factory reset entail?" is a fascinating question.

Everyone assumes you'll lose your settings during a factory reset, but what isn't as clear cut: Does it revert the firmware to whatever it was shipped with (bugs and all)? Some vendors do, but most vendors do not.

A legitimate factory reset (inc. firmware) mechanism or USB boot/reflash would have likely saved Samsung considerable amounts of money here (relative to mailing all of them two ways, they could have e.g. sent out free USB keys with the firmware).
>Where are the "second amendments against tyranny folks"?

Not supporting the people who blame them for violence and want to take their guns away. Does that surprise you? Perhaps there is a lesson here somewhere.

For smaller transactions, cryptocurrency would be much better for the merchant because they are bearer instruments. The business has a reputation, but the customers are fly-by-night and the merchant has no idea who they are. Removing charge back risk would ensure merchants only ship if they actually have the money. Much preferred.
