Once it makes it to the MSM, that makes it officially uncool.

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary." - James Madison

Since jerks and clueless idiots exist in droves, government regulation is absolutely essential to police what (greedy) people can and cannot do.

Demonzing China isn't constructive and has the optics of racism. China isn't an imminent military threat to anyone outside the South China Sea and the border with India. The US is a far greater threat with hundreds of bases worldwide. China is a larger threat ecologically because of wanton water and air (including emissions) pollution through the manufacturing of domestic and export goods. China would be wise to tax carbon, regulate air/soil/water pollution, and/or cap/trade, even if it means driving nearly slave-wages carpetbagging corporations to Africa and other parts of Asia. Even if political interests prevent particular remediation solutions, China has the advantage that it can choose to deploy evidence-based solutions at scale ahead of economic interests in a self-serving, sustainment manner.

Also ran into this interesting history-fiction comparative analysis from 2004: http://www.oilempire.us/brazil.html

People may want to take a fecal sample before starting antibiotics to "reseed" themselves.

Also, it will take time to map and analyze essential and harmful constituent species. Perhaps there will be the equivalent of "vitamin" essential bacterial for persons of particular genetic makeups and diets.

In other countries like Finland, they have it right compared to US education system the genius W contributed to breaking: homework has no value, teaching answers to excessive standardized tests (NCLBA) has little value, and grading teachers on immediate performance of said standardized tests has little value.

To solve this problem of finding good schools, I believe word-of-mouth advice from more successful folks is more valuable than any website filled with sour grapes or unverifiable claims made by random, anonymous people. It also can be a problem that better areas tend to have better schools, so no website will be able to find what doesn't currently exist in low population or not-as-nice areas.

There are websites like USNAWR who attempt to rate K-12 schools, private and public. https://www.usnews.com/education/k12

Btw, sequencing of both mRNA vaccines:

National security is the primary injunctive exception, which can be avoided by handing documents to something like WikiLeaks.

I guess JNJ's lawyers were desperate and so took a gamble on maneuvering without considering the optics.

Climate change. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). I frown on chemical and mechanical means because they can't scale inherently and would be very expensive. Farming oceanic life is likely the main answer to it, such as GM kelp or phytoplankton.

I agree that competent, thoughtful textbooks combined with amazing lecturers/TAs/peers are needed to transfer knowledge.

One solution is cage suet feeders. Squirrels can't peck into them.

Another is throwing out enough seed / feed on the ground over a large enough area so that a variety of critters can get access. Crows, finches, jays, wild turkeys, and deer would feed at the same time.

Yet another solution is to place a tree feeder on top of a greased pole away from trees so squirrels can't jump down to it or climb up it.

Bird baths or other fresh water sources that are kept from producing mosquitoes larva are also good.

The other critters of concern in the area were red foxes, vultures, hawks, and black bear.

Standing. Kneeling chairs. Posture ball chairs. Laying down (what's lower stress than this?).

Poor Veritasium. Makes a wild claim that everyone else is wrong but doesn't back it up with experimental evidence.

It reminds me of how cocky people, like doctors or conspiracy theorists, are able to seem convinced/ing while professing a claim with gusto but are actually full of shit. Seems like something Mark Rober would do, i.e., staging scenes like a reality TV show.

Cartesian <--> polar coordinate transformations applied to the real world must be done carefully because of the magnified error potential at boundary conditions. Again, heavy mathematics as a foundation are necessary to avoid major harm. Honestly, I don't think anyone except Professional Engineers should be allowed to work on critical flight control software. Boeing has been farming out software development to overseas contractors because they're cheaper ($9/hr), not because they're better.

The thing though is it does make Putin look weak if he has to move 100k troops to threaten Biden to the negotiation table.

PS: "Proof" is both singular and plural. "Proofs" isn't a word.

If Team America World Police imperial global colonization authority with military bases all over the world like the friggin Roman Empire must right every regime, then it needs to invade Russia, North Korea, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Myanmar too.

The point of open source is to be cool and that's all.

UBI is still crumbs for the misery of the legitimized and normalized theft to varying degrees perpetrated by billionaires who de facto own the government and buy laws that benefit them (kleptocracy / plutocracy).

Jobs are going away because of automation, and the only fair way to replaced destroyed lives where labor has become oversupplied and well-paid opportunities dwindling is to tax the crap out of the destroyers of industries. The shrieks from the "innovation" and "progress" crowd will fall on deaf ears that have just been severed by guillotines to the shouts of glee they can't hear from the dystopian future starving masses living under bridges by the hundreds to thousands.
