That’s counting one side of the ledger: what of fraud that never had the opportunity to happen?

Interestingly, in practice different languages tend to have markedly different common representations of animal sounds.

They are moving in the other direction, having recently decommissioned native Outlook for a webview-based implementation.

For many, Excel is sufficient reason to have a separate Windows computer or the determining factor in using Windows; Mac Excel is not the real deal.

You can also run your own.

Taxes aren’t 0 right now, nor particularly close for anyone being taxed. Your statement supports taxes as a concept at all, but what’s the specific argument that they must be more than they are today?

Probably was that. Looks fixed after I reset it.

Generally speaking, no: there’s a significant difference in precedent between the two. IANAL, but interstate commerce is explicitly written into the Constitution as the jurisdiction of the federal government and was tested (and generally serially expanded) in court multiple times long before Roe.

Something stops my r pound way before the timer concludes.

I like it!

UX feedback: I don’t understand when a round ends. Surprised by it each time.

Who said those two were the ultimate goals to work towards?

Isn’t that what stem cell therapy is?

Agree an option for consideration.

I don’t think religion is the only path, but that it has functioned as a prosocial positive-sum cooperating/compassion technology/mechanism in many cultural contexts. Not without downsides, of course.

That many today relatively reflexively default to ~‘we can all be nice to each other; this is obviously the (only) moral approach’ without stated precepts/priors/fundaments upon which that morality is moored I think tends to implicitly borrow priors from Western Christian tradition, albeit incompletely and sometimes critically so. Sam Harris’ recent appearance on Ross Douthat’s ‘Interesting Times’ podcast was IMO an example of this.

This exhibits the borrowing GP mentions: your ‘should’ does not necessarily follow from the stated priors. Why is compassion morally mandated by the priors and not competition, for example?

The judge still decided this was the winning side. I don’t really see a problem with this, especially as seeing it is at the end of a deliberative process. By that time, the winning attorney may have a good idea of where the judge stands, what the ruling would be and is also incentivized to stay on their good side.
