Sure. Most parts of the world don't have the government run the entire healthcare system. It's an obviously bad idea everywhere To everyone except Brits.

The reason indexing services don't work synchronously is because it would cause file IO to get far slower than apps expect, and that can break user interfaces and cause unexpected slow downs. There's also no real reason for it to

You are correct, it couldn't and in fact 1850 has traditionally been referred to in climatology as "pre industrial", but this site is really the wrong place to try and actually talk about science. The intellectual curiosity f

The NHS doesn't have a problem with too few patients anywhere. Just look at the chaos of the recently opened dentists that saw massive queues down the street, where police had to intervene to control the crowds. The reason: the denti

You got lucky. My father went to a&e recently with breathing problems due to some non COVID respiratory virus. He was struggling to breathe. They had zero free beds and he stayed overnight on the chairs waiting to be admitted. Eventuall

It's talking to the author of the article, who rather ludicrously diagnosed the problem with the Messenger as it being not biased and ideological enough.

This isn't actually COVID specific. It's a nasty and frequent tactic on this forum, where someone makes strong assertions about one side of an argument whilst simultaneously claiming that the other side can't be allowed to sp

Thank you to sibling ggdG for presenting even more evidence. But I don't get your reply at all, wtallis. "the next few paragraphs should be about backing that claim up with convincing evidence and explanations" - which is w

That isn't clear at all. You seem to be saying that if you anticipate that people might question other people's competence or motives, or in your view a discussion won't lead people to think the right thoughts ("encour

It doesn't get less curious that "I try to bury discussion before it even happens and can't even explain why". You should be ashamed that you spend so much time here yet fundamentally do not get the rules.

Empirically they are not. What you mean is that you don't like to be faced with the reality revealed by these stories and the comments. But this attitude explains a lot of the abusive flagging that goes on here. Stories get flagged bec

If you interpret Germany to mean German government mandate then I can see how it would seem misleading, but if you interpret Germany as the people who live there, then 45 random companies (that the journalist could find, there will be more)

How can you have both brutal capitalism and regulated markets? Those are normally presented as opposites, as in, "we regulate markets to soften the impact of raw capitalism". China isn't really a capitalist country. It&#x27

The source of this stuff is PubPeer, a website where people can comment on papers and do post-publication peer review. A quick rummage through this site is the quickest way to destroy your confidence in academic science for good. There&#x27

If the US military can't manage a feat of logistics that local doctors offices routinely manage then it can't possibly win a war.

Sadly not. The Flynn effect appears to be obsolete. In many countries it stopped in the 90s and IQs have actually gone down a bit since then. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect#/media/File:Sun

It's not just Dana-Farber and that Alzheimer's lab. This type of fraud is endemic in biology. Occasionally it gets noticed. Behold, another identical thread on the same site about the scientists of the Breast Cancer Research Found

Israel's government doesn't care about PR hassle from the usual suspect. We may notice that they've had plenty of that lately and it did not stop them at all. Even if doing what the ICJ wants is easy, there's a strong re

It has a multiplier effect. Government wants to spend money without raising it in taxes, forces the central bank to "loan" it money which it does via "printing" (increasing the balance of the govt at the CB accounts). Th

It doesn't really cause problems. Academic economists claim deflation is destructive, but it's a misanalysis caused by extrapolating from a tiny number of samples and ignoring all the counter evidence. If you have a fixed monetary

Civilians control but don't manage the military. They control it, in the sense of setting the goals, but they don't generally manage things after that. The equivalent here would be the customers.

The risk is that this simply makes their culture problems worse. Governments aren't famous for turning around failing private companies. And then there's, y'know, the whole DEI angle. Being acquired by the US Government isn&#
