That's not what the article says. Patients actually died, which doesn't make sense for hysteria. The study found the patients have existing known conditions, which are being mis-diagnosed by this doctor as a mystery illness. It s

I think the assumption here is the investment vehicle will be large bundles of diverse stocks, e.g. via a mutual fund or equivalent ETF. That's the standard way to invest 401Ks and other savings, and something for which stock tips are

I agree. I lived with chronic pain for over a decade due to a specific medical problem that, though I could never get a precise diagnosis, was not caused by stress or my mental state. It was incredibly frustrating to deal with family and ot

Climate change, science, and the environment are indeed valid reasons (as was plainly stated at the time) for subsidies to electric cars (amongst hundreds of billions of dollars of other environmental subsidies Democrats passed). The CEO sp

Volkswagen was one small part of the Nazi's policy. It ultimately didn't deliver a single car to the users of its government-endorsed savings scheme, but instead was used for military production. You know what other companies have

The Nazi party was not socialist, it was just in the name. The Nazi party had a leftist socialist wing, which was expunged on the Night of Long Knives. Hitler himself generally stayed above such economic debates, and instead promised a sort

There are countless examples of Musk selectively banning people on Twitter based on political belief, such as this one [1]. And of course, he banned the @elonjet account, even after specifically saying he would not [2]. More specifically to

Same for me, I paid someone to replace my Pixel 3 battery for $40 and have had nothing but a positive experience. It saved me ~$400 on a new phone, I'd gladly do it again.

A cop is within 8 feet of you during a traffic stop. So if the cop puts you or another passenger under arrest, you have to stop filming. And if you were filming before and caught the cop doing something illegal, they are now incentivized to

Celebrities who are douche bags are criticized all the time — I'm not sure what your point is exactly. Musk is not just a "celebrity," he is one of the most powerful men on the planet. Most celebrities don't control 10%

Yup I agree, I think there's tremendous opportunity for computer tools to aid chess. Things like Lichess's recent ability to automatically categorize puzzles by the type of tactic was very cool, and only scratching the surface.

Ok, the implication in my comment was that they can't be weakened like humans, not that they cannot be weakened at all. The phenomenon of random mistakes does not need to be programmed in the engine, it is a byproduct of lowering the s

Your experience with engines then is very different from my own and that of the wider chess community. The general consensus is that playing computers at any strength is both counterproductive and unfulfilling. They do indeed make random bl

Computers are far stronger than humans and win every game. They cannot be artificially weakened as they do not play like weaker humans, but rather make a mixture of incredibly strong moves and random mistakes. As such, it would be a tournam

The highest death rate both in the US and Europe was this past winter, long after the virus had already spread to every part of both continents.

There is no sense in comparing per-capita deaths this early in the pandemic, especially when the spread of the virus in the US trails a few weeks behind that in Europe. Talk to me in a few months. Furthermore, per-capita figures are meaning

Sure, that's an interesting question, whether or not Twitter can block people commenting on Trump's tweets. If Twitter colluded with him, then I assume it would be considered the same as Trump himself blocking them. But if the Whi
