Anecdotal, but switching the honey I used in my morning oatmeal to a locally-farmed raw variety really did seem to help quite a bit with my seasonal allergies.

A qualifier on that statement is that the seasonal allergies started when I moved 1000 miles to a very different part of the country. It may just have been acclimation, but I don't plan on switching back to the other types of honey to test if the symptoms return.

It's not entirely gone, some years are nothing and some are light. Nothing is ever are terrible as the first few years were, though.
That's taking space from pedestrians instead of cars. I always see joggers, kids with rollerskates and moms with prams on these sidewalk bike lanes. Side parking and bike lanes cannot cohexist on the same side of the road without wasting another 3 ft of space for a door zone. Some of the useful bike lanes are raised a bit like a mini sidewalk separate from the pedestrian sidewalk or have a physical separator like bumpers.
Because the rules set forth by the law have created an incentive to set the price that maximizes their profit. They have a customer who has to buy their product no matter what, and as a corporation beholden to shareholders they have a legal duty to maximize returns. I agree that it's a terrible system that incentivizes corporations into exploitative practices, but we can't really do anything about it without changing the rules they have to operate under.

Something like a $56,000/per year drug really makes me wonder if the answer "violence is never acceptable" just exists to milk docile people.
Right, and it doesn't even require actual tumblers. Any service where you can deposit and then withdraw bitcoin can be used as a tumbler: gambling sites, exchanges, bitcoin marketplaces etc. Each time this is done the link is broken, and to de-tumble you need transaction history from each of those services. It's like if you want to deanonymize someone who connects to Internet though 10 VPNs: you need logs for ALL 10 VPNs to deanonymize the user. Criminals can also exchange bitcoin to Monero through anonymous exchanges, let it sit for a while and then exchange back over time.
Microsoft Power Apps: 38M personal records exposed
The coronavirus will never end until people turn off their TV and MSM in general and start looking elsewhere for information.

First, the elephant in the room... Ivermectin. Ivermectin, which has been on the market globally for like half a century, is 86% effective as a prophylactic against COVID-19 (aka a better vaccine than the "vaccines" themselves), is 72% effective in early treatment, and is 40% effective in late treatment[1]. Side effects most experience? Kills parasites, including scabies, and reduces systemic inflammation, including TNF. Because of the fear and hype surrounding COVID-19, there are thousands of folks out there who have been taking what is generally considered to be an annual dose... every week... for almost a year. I mean, we can basically just stop right there; right? We've got a safe and effective drug that reduces the risk of serious illness and death to almost zero, collectively demonstrated by the studies in the first reference (bottom). For real, just stop and consider this, and then consider whether it's even worth considering ANY other information. There is a literal cure that is also a prophylactic, and which is completely safe. What else can be said?

But, I'll continue. So then, in the US, we've got recommendations, from the world's preeminent purveyor of disease information, to wear paper masks OUTSIDE IN THE SUN, masks that are known to cause cancer, and which reduce oxygen[2] and increase resting heart rate, and which are about as effective as using a chain link fence to stop mosquitoes (less, even).

Then, the mRNA "vaccines", which are an experimental form of gene therapy, with less than 1 year's worth of data. A normal vaccine would undergo about 12x the study duration, and that's when we're using existing and proven technology; but for some reason, we're ok with 1/12 of the study period for a "vaccine" that is of an entirely new category.

Then, we trap people in their houses, where disease is shown to thrive, without sunlight and without exercise.

The only way this ever ends is for a majority of people to turn their TVs off for good, and to start using common sense.

Yes, but we won't, so what are you going to do about it?

Meaningful options appear to be "nothing," "enact some form of retribution/revenge against China," and "invade China so it never happens again, and also arrange the world so similar authoritarian governments with nontrivial research skills never arise again."

The second option doesn't really seem like it will do anything but mollify some people's feelings. The third option seems really, really hard and also not really well-defined. So the first option may have the same outcome as the rest, but is far easier.

Yes, this is correct. For example, give most people most vaccines, and they will be fine. However, some vaccines will cause a few people in every 100,000 or so to develop ITP, which can mean a brief period of bruising and bleeding (as your immune system eats your blood platelets) that clears up with simple steroids, or it can mean longer term or even chronic illness, splenectomy, even death. We have zero way to predict this for any given person. The same is true of other "rare" reactions.
Author here and I wasn't really thinking of this as a useful use case either. Most of my consideration was say corporate espionage or journalists working in authoritarian countries where killing the person would create a highly visible incident. Mostly was just a thought-experiment turned into a real implementation. With any tool like this the risks/benefits should always be considered.

> just as it’s unfortunate non-Chinese speakers cannot obtain jobs in Chinese-speaking areas

Except the dialects are often local to the places where the opportunities are being sought and can exist due to a long history of racism driven segregation...so you analogy is completely erroneous.

> In other words, the pre-existing discriminatory attitude causes the exclusionary behavior in language not vice versa.

I'm glad to hear you admit alteast part of this. If you grant that discrimination leads to some language prescriptions, is it that hard to see how those prescriptions, when used normatively by people with no intention of racism, can end up perpetuating the exact racist attitudes that lead to the creation of those language prescriptions?

This is precisely my point: this history and the current reality means that we should be care about how and when it is worth spreading prescriptive approaches to language, ideally limiting it to times when ambiguity is created or meaning is lost.
Knowing about this fact I wonder why so many sites still allow SMS based 2FA and, even worse, sometimes accept just SMS codes as a proof for the password reset workflow.

The incentives are all wrong: Telco support people are incentivized to handle as many calls in as little time as possible and to be as helpful to customers as possible.

In 99% of calls, being "difficult" about this will cause customers with legitimate issues to be angry and will cause the ticket to stay open for much longer than what's necessary, so I totally understand where they are coming from.

I wish my Telco had an option where I could set a flag to never help me with account recovery at the promise of in return never getting angry at them for not helping me. Then "we can't help you" is the quickest way to solve such a ticket for them and it's also the safest for me.

Honestly, if I ever lose access to my phone account, I'd rather get a new number than have some helpful person hand over the keys to umpteen accounts I have on the internet which I can't secure adequately because of braindead policies at those accounts.
If you tax the land, any value not capable of being extracted from said ownership before the tax will just get shunted into the ask price buyers have to meet to rent in the abscence of explicit controls to the contrary. That's just how it works. Like, even if I eschew it personally, right, as an unusually enlightened landlord, there will be a large population of landlord's that won't. Props for me maybe that I always get renters, but I'm not at all sure that this model of taxation will deliver on what Henry George hoped.

After reading up a bit more on the topic, I'm even more convinced of this. In fact, all this would really serve to do is encourage maximum development/urbanization by guaranteeing that those that urbanize become more efficient at extracting land rent than those that actually make that possible. Take the farmer of 100 acres to the multi story tenement operator of occupancy 50 on say 10.

The farmer at about a 2.1 acre to tenant ratio is relied upon to keep everyone fed, but with his 100 acres is paying much more in rent than the tenement operator, who is paying tax on 1/10th the "land" but extracting many times the "rent" in term of having developed upwards, where the farmer can't do so for having to rely on tillage to keep everyone alive.

Let us say the farmer is the primary hirer of labor in this microcosm. He's both bearing the tax burden, plus paying his laborers, while the tenement operator contents himself hiring a paltry few, and exploiting his rent extraction.

Also, under the Georgist idea of land are all the natural resources of such as wind, sunlight etc...

What if our tenement operator blocks or shades the farmer's tillage, rendering it unfit for growing? Or blocking the dominant wind approach? What if a river passes through one, or both parcels of land? Is one to get a discount for land shaded into inexploitability by another's construction? By airflow impeded through unit volume per unit time?

What if our tenants wash themselves and dump waste upstream of the farmer, which is then used to irrigate his crops, creating a public health hazard? How is that valuated? A punitive tax extracted from the tenement owner? He may not even take part in this behavior. His tenants? Not supposed to pass it on, remember.

I'm still reading up on it, but it just feels like the entire idea started to get thought through, then all conversation and analysis stopped, and someone declared this panacea and went home. I'm left hankering for a big dose of "show your work". But again, I've just started reading.
This is a relationship question. Your father-in-law wants to make sure his daughter (if I may assume...) has a husband with a stable life, and he wants a reason to maintain an active role in her life going forward.

Weird that your post didn’t mention your wife at all. She might be the most important part of this question. How does she feel about this offer from her dad to her husband? Have you asked her?

What does your FIL think of your life now – does he think it’s stable? Is he possessive? Is this a way of putting you in his debt so he can have a lever to manipulate you with? How will he react if you decline his offer?

In another timeline, if you were single and never met this guy or your spouse, would you have even let the conversation get this far? Are you looking at the opportunity through rose-tinted glasses?

I’d lean toward no... it’s not worth mixing business with family.
I don’t think it’s patronizing. You are asking someone what their concerns are with your opinion. They could answer “nothing” and that would be an acceptable answer to the question.
Yet data from Israel suggests that the vaccinated are six times more likely to get delta than people with natural immunity: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309762.

>This makes no sense from an immunological perspective, and sounds like one of those pseudoscientific ideas that "natural" immunity is somehow stronger than "vaccination" immunity.

There's nothing unscientific about it; it's been known for a while now that some vaccines like the flu vaccine are inferior to natural immunity: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2870374/

You don’t know that, have no way of knowing that, and have no proof of it. This is simply your opinion, and, like assholes, everyone has one. (And I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here, because honestly I have zero expectation that you are arguing in good faith.) All you seem to be interested in, like others before you, is detracting the conversation away from the underlying story. “If only they had approached it differently!” Yet no matter how it is approached the response from those like you is exactly the same.

Not to mention that it doesn’t matter. This article isn’t even a call to action. It is simply dryly stating facts. There is no “come in guys, we can do this!” It instead says “ocean acidification will take hundreds of years to recover.” That’s it.

There is no way to frame this other than clinically. How exactly could it be framed differently? Do tell!

Good grief, stop. Stop using jargon you don't understand. Stop making medical pronouncements that are clearly wrong. STOP. That statement, if true, would mean that the entire population would be trapped in a cycle of reinfection after reinfection, coming faster and faster, forever. It is clearly not true. No disease works like that. You are using words you don't understand to describe a subject you don't understand but have strong feelings about.

Then maybe you could cite some?
My high school history teacher recommended his book to me when I was junior. I loved it, and even wrote to the author regarding a mistake I thought I found in the book (pretty arrogant of me). Loewen replied generously. I don't remember the exact exchange, but he was so encouraging. It meant a lot to me in high school that he replied.

Wikipedia says they failed a safety inspection for breaches of containment. What were they failing to contain and what was the effect of the breach?

I mean, the argument of the comment at the top of this thread seems pretty straightforward to me: if it's a norm to explain what's going on at biological research labs with links to the military, then that norm applies to everyone, not just China. The world deserves to have a detailed and open accounting of what went on, even if the accounting is "Nothing relevant." And in a practical sense, if the US abides by the norm that public reports on military bio-warfare labs are expected, it gives the US a much better bargaining position when asking other people to abide by that norm.
It tells me that religious authoritarianism is absent in Vietnam.
If you don't like a price of the product doesn't work, the best remedy is to not buy it. We need to change policy so Medicare doesn't have to buy it. This would fix the problem many drugs, not one.
Viruses and diseases tend to have a way of spreading and causing harm that voluntary sports don’t seem to have. Two willing participants crashing into each other and needing hospitalization is not nearly the same as one selfish person coughing their way around the grocery store. The infected person in the grocery store has now not only infected a good number of people in the store, but will be the root cause of many future cases as those fellow shoppers continue to live their lives. You have a choice to play a sport. People don’t have a choice to live their lives (work, shop for groceries, send their kids to school, etc).
I have a handful of friends that lost their jobs to H1Bs. The one at Disney even spent his last month training his replacement. Personally I'd raise the H1B salary floor to 100 grand.

Building a decent computer (only desktop, without a good monitor or peripherals) equals to spending at least three months' salary for me, probably more. JFYI, not every part of the world lives like Silicon Valley.

It was a screwed up situation with no right answers brought about by cascading events that started long before 9/11. There was no choice but to invade after 9/11, there was no opportunity for victory for the duration, and there were no easy morally right exits for the duration. Generations of honorable and well meaning Americans fought for what they believed was right.

I have my doubts but I truly hope the taliban somehow came out the other side as a more moderate organization. It would be so incredibly amazing to know that half of their massive population would not be oppressed. I will be keeping my fingers crossed but it seems unlikely to me that a battle hardened group like theirs could be anything but hardline and this seems like the perfect thing to say so that no one gets second thoughts about leaving.

In other countries, the cost/benefits analysis would be done and you'd just not get the drug until it's cheaper.

In the US, healthcare is addicted to new technologies even if they improve outcomes by 0.01% while being 10x more expensive.
Umm.. Medicare already announced they are doing a National Coverage Determination (NCD) to determine if they will pay for it and for whom.

And yes, Medicare can negotiate drug prices through Part D or take discounts by fiat through Part B.

The specific value at the time is, in nearly every other situation, irrelevant. The mistake was putting a claim to a monetary value of *asset* rather than the *asset* itself.

There are people who will go out of their way to mess with driverless cars and I think the car needs to handle that somehow.

Heck, I’ve seen kids mess with real cars. Like the bag you mentioned, some idiots were taking cardboard boxes, filling them with rocks and putting them in the street waiting for the drivers to think “oh just it’s an empty cardboard box, not gonna slow down for it”.

Somehow I can see an AI driven car, especially without a person inside, becoming a target of bullying like that.
