This is incorrect. Even if the fetus is a person, it has a right to individual liberty. It doesn’t have a right to another person’s body. If it can’t survive without someone else’s organs it’s right to survival doesn’t out weigh the hosts r

There are often a lot of steps between a discovery (or even a patent) and commercial viability. Patents make it easier for the companies to raise funding to do that work and move from theoretical or small scale to an actual product. Also yo

But that ignores the mass suffering that pushing people to move will prevent? It’s not why are you so worried about all of these people who will have their lives destroyed when there are a bunch of other people who will be totally fine It’s

Oh she/you should check out mast cell activation syndrome (mcas). Basically different foods increase histamine levels in the body or prevent its degradation. Old proteins and fermented foods are particularly problematic because microbe

This is my biggest frustration with the code they generate (but it does make it easy to check if my students have even looked at the generated code). I dont want to fail silently or hard code an error message, it creates a pile of lies to w

I think you've misunderstood the situation (and the article). Having the national guard get things under control means pitting them against ICE and likely actually triggering a civil war. The problem is not Minnesotans or paid protesto

But the coldest year we'll experience for the rest of our lives. Even if we get emissions down to zero tomorrow we are facing additional degrees of warming. Instead of focusing on emission reductions we need to be talking about the bes

"I should do the job that makes the absolute most amount of money possible, like starting a crypto exchange, so that I can use my vast wealth in the most effective way." Has always really bothered me because it assumes that there

Learning wrong history can be economically relevant. So much of history is about learning patterns of human behavior. Patterns that often repeat. If you learn wrong or untrue history your understanding of and expectations for human behavior

It depends where it’s dumped. I think a lot of people are looking into dumping it into high salinity anoxic basins based on finding carbon with a long residence time there.

Its probably my least favorite of all of her books but I liked the approach to describing an additional dimension. And the idea of the alien translators grown in human bodies and the development of a species/culture

I see it more of a freedom from versus freedom to distinction. Under Elon’s Twitter you have the freedom to say anything (*almost anything — no tweeting about where his jet is lol). Under jack’s Twitter you have freedom from being bombarded

Yes but that’s because you (mostly) stop physically growing once you are out of school. Banded within a year is meaningless for adults, a 25 yr old isn’t that different than a 30 year old but a 5 year old and a 10 year old are distinctly di

Will it record anything she writes with the pen? Regardless of what she is writing on? Does she need to replace the ink in the pen ever?

This is one of the most optimistic but realistic perspectives I’ve heard about online discussions in a long time. Thank you.

I have high biomass samples from soda lakes (high salinity and alkalinity). Other people in my lab work with soil samples, samples from methane seeps, and low biomass samples from rocks. It could also be useful for wastewater samples. What’

This seems interesting for my work. Can it run DNA extractions on environmental samples? Have you benchmarked against any synthetic communities?

Honestly I haven’t come to a conclusion. It sounds like you are well versed in EA principals and arguments so I’d be curious to hear your thoughts. From my (admittedly shallow) understanding of effective altruism I question how well we can

In my mind the arguments for it are - by helping your neighbor you strengthen your own community, hopefully benefitting yourself and your family - you don’t have the same understanding of the needs of a community further away. You won’t be

I’ve always approached it from the other side and wondered about the appeal of altruism. Is it really so bad if you help your neighbor or someone you know? If you benefit from the improvement in your community is it some how less valuable?

Do you know why it will make the other person sad or angry? What do you do when they get upset? What emotional state are you bringing to the conversation? Do you respect their emotions or just get annoyed with them for being ‘irrational’

When I was in my early 20s I was struggling to figure out what I wanted to do, signing up for a 40 year career in just one area seemed so limiting and a little depressing. I ended up making a list of all the jobs/roles that could be in

Dang I'm pretty disappointed by this comment and the fact that you flagged the parent comment. I agree "Thanks Apple!" doesn't add anything to the comment, but the rest of the comment (while touching on a divisive issue)

I think it’s also about keeping the wealth/supporting the relevant skills in your own community. Saving a dollar here and there helps an individual a little but the community gets damaged in the long run. And the individual suffers in

My younger brother and I watched Apollo 13 over and over. For me Ken Mattingly exemplified what it meant (and means) to be an astronaut. This quote was interesting He retired from the space agency in 1985 and the next year from the Navy as

I think the amount of news we expose ourselves to should correlate more with the closeness of the events (or inversely with their distance from us). We can actually have an impact on events in our local community. And in a lot of ways what

This seems like an effective way to kill microbes without using chemicals that could be harmful to humans. And the reusability aspect is great. But does anyone know if the hydroxyl radicals/hydrogen peroxide used to destroy the cell me
