This doesn’t apply to all insurances and doesn’t address the actual question at hand. Should obese people, smokers, alcoholics, drug users, etc be denied medical care for the choices they make?

If not, is this insurance argument of yours based on actually wanting medical care changes for the benefit of all or just to intimidate more people into getting the vaccine?

An IQ is just a number coming out of a test. Whether or not that correlates to something useful for humanity, or even the individual being tested, is a different question. Surely the majority of useful discoveries are made by people with above-average IQs, but would juicing the numbers through eugenics really make much of a difference?

In court, you can't just offer evidence on its own, you need to offer a witness who can attest to the evidence's reliability, who may the be cross-examined. Doing otherwise violates one's right to confront their accusers. Binger, the prosecutor, did not want to do that. This is basic law--something he has repeatedly been admonished in court for ignoring.

Also, you're actually contradicting what the prosecution's own expert witness said in court. He said, yes, it would add pixels and he didn't know what kind or color. And for all that, the jury was allowed to see the images.

This trial has been wild. Grosskreutz went on ABC the other day to recant his sworn testimony just prior. On ABC, he said he didn't point the gun first, but even Snopes has said that yes, he did admit to that in court.[1] There is a photo of him with his gun pointed at Kyle's head as his bicep is being vaporized. It was when confronted with this that he admitted it originally in court.

Grosskreutz also claimed that Kyle re-racked his gun and this meant that Kyle wanted to kill someone, yet no unspent ammo from Kyle's gun was ever recovered, nor can any re-racking motion be seen on video. Instead, an unspent round from Grosskreutz' Glock was recovered, implying that Grosskreutz had re-racked his gun. Given the mechanics of that, it had to have been when he still had two working arms. Knowing that Grosskreutz' roommate wrote on social media that Grosskreutz wished he'd killed Kyle (something the roommate denied on the stand, saying he'd made it up), then if we use Grosskreutz' own line of reasoning, Grosskreutz had both threatened and intended to kill Kyle prior to being shot.

>At a minimum, I've already forced you to admit that cloth masks redirect the flows of COVID19, when originally you claimed that the particles were too small to be effectively filtered.

Ok hold on, I'm not playing bad faith games here. My original claim was that the masks did not filter viral particles. You responded with the birthday candle example, in effect claiming that it didn't matter whether they filtered them, because instead they redirected exhaled air from other people's faces. I then replied to effectively say that this is at best not effective, at worst counterproductive.

I don't believe that in this political climate one would be able to publish a study against the efficacy of masks. I have two studies from the start of the pandemic which showed negligible (≈1-2%) or no benefit to surgical mask wearing, and the fact that even among medical workers there has historically been some degree of dissent as to whether they are indeed effective outside of maybe open surgery.

In some situations, it is also impossible: if there are bugs in the API contract then it has to be broken eventually.

That’s my point though. If you’re concerned about privacy enough that even a throwaway SSH public key is sensitive then GitHub (and even any public git repository) is going to be a bad idea because they’re going to be leaking far more identifiable data than just your SSH public key.

If you agree that said platforms leak lots of other identifiable data (which you seam to) then thus it is a fair statement to say GitHub hiding public keys do little to enhance your privacy. And thus one can reasonably conclude that privacy argument doesn’t really hold with regards to SSH keys.

I’m happy to agree that it’s bad UX and probably should be advertised better so people are aware they should follow the (in my opinion best practice) of using a unique SSH key for GitHub.

We’ll have to wait and see what the structure of the DAO is (I think the contract was released this morning, but I haven’t read it yet), but it’s pretty trivial to design this to prevent that from happening.

Agreed whole-heartedly, and one of the reasons I love the FreeBSD model. My ideal Linux distro would be the inverse of Debian k/FreeBSD – a Linux kernel with FreeBSD kernel interfaces provided by loadable module and a FreeBSD-style userland.

> Keto is very popular now, and it allows plenty of meat

This is a popular assumption about keto, but it’s a bit of a misnomer. Keto allows plenty of fat, but sticking to your macros actually only allows for a moderate amount of meat, especially leaner meats because of the excessive protein/fat ratio. Excessive protein can be converted to glucose. If your intention is ketosis, excess protein consumption will inhibit ketosis to almost the same degree as carb consumption.

So yes there is meat, but when you are focused on eating the fattier cuts, the tendency is to eat less amounts of it. Your satiety response hits way faster with those type of cuts. Think about it in terms of a half a pound of bacon vs. an 8oz filet mignon. Many folks could eat a filet that size, but couldn’t manage to get through that much bacon. Your body basically says “enough”.

I am 5 years keto, and I eat far less meat now than before I was keto.

> importing illegal immigrants has suppressed wages for Americans for decades.

Er, no, to the extent immigration is an issue with the recent wage rise legal immigrants have done that. Net illegal immigration dropped below zero without significant upward wage pressure well before the pandemic.

EDIT: Just to be clear, its not actually legal immigration dropping, either, that led to the tight labor market; its the acceleration of permanent (e.g., retirement) and temporary departures from the labor force during (and in part induced by) the pandemic

I used to have a similar version-freshness issue with ffmpeg on Ubuntu, for a video-encoding system I was running. Turns out that building ffmpeg isn't actually that hard. :) Later, I switched to using Nix as a layer over the distro; then I could just build ffmpeg once on my build system, and push the "closure" (the app & all its dependencies) to the other nodes in my encoding farm.
Of course it would be correlated. Genes and environment and culture and family are all just one big interrelated mess. Is it even possible to tease the contributions apart, even in theory?

I guess I could imagine a study, something like: look at kids of professors, in particular identical twins vs fraternal. Not all children will be National Merit Finalists, but among those that are, do you find identical twin pairs more often? Even that is subject to environmental effects, though, because potentially identical twins are raised differently!

> "One of the next challenges I would like to think about is how to generate ammonia from water, instead of hydrogen gas," Trenerry says. "The dream is to put in water, air and sunlight to create a fuel."

Producing ammonia from water is a lot easier than producing it from natural gas the way it's currently done now. The drawback is that it requires a lot more energy. There are 6 steps in the process here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_production

If you use water & electricity & air as the feedstock, it's a 2 step process:

1: electrolysize water to produce H2
2: Haber-Bosch 3 H2 + N2 → 2 NH3

(In practice step 1 is multiple steps of purification and adding electrolytes)

In many situations, it's cheaper to convert hydrogen to ammonia, transport the ammonia, then convert back than it is to transport hydrogen.

That's exactly what Korean steelmakers are doing to source green hydrogen: https://www.kedglobal.com/newsView/ked202107160003

It was a very weird transition, as a well-off American, from going to never, ever actually feeling _real hunger_ at any point in any of my normal days (our workplaces, transit hubs, homes, lifestyles, and app landscape are all designed to deliver/provide high caloric density food, in extreme abundance, at all times and places, from snacks to full meals), to regularly/often being actually hungry for some/all of most days.

It's done wonders for my well-being - anecdotally, of course.

It turns out we don't actually need to never be hungry; our society just pushes us to assume that even the tiniest pang of hunger is a negative health issue that is to be instantly eradicated. It's actually fine as long as you're not skinny or otherwise malnourished.

It's ok to fast, and to hear your body demanding sustenance and just say "no, maybe tomorrow" - doubly so if you're 10kg+ overweight like I have been (in my case, 20-40kg) my entire adult life.

What about the ability to hold your savings in a currency that's prohibited by your government?

Places with high inflation often have capital controls that make it illegal to hold foreign currency. You see your savings get cut in half every year and there's nothing you can do about it.

It would be great if there was a political solution where governments don't impose capital controls on their people. But in the mean time, crypto allows you options to hold a more stable currency (e.g. stable coin), or at least one that doesn't only go in one direction.
