Donald Trump had his kids vaccinated: https://www.quora.com/Has-Dona...

The move followed outbreaks of measles in Europe and parts of the United States, and local whooping cough and measles cases in Australia.

There was actual harm done because of the sticky stupid of antivaccine activists, so of course their Board will purge in response. People who make themselves allies of the first Horseman of the Apocalypse (Pestilence/plague) do not belong in the healthcare business.

Early tests seemed to indicate the program's original name of "Youtube Snitches" was not very enticing.

There is no such thing as "The paleo-diet".

Bathory-style, is a fitting punishment for d'em blood-suckers.

it's frighteningly easy to imagine how cameras with a slightly improved zoom resolution and face recognition technology could

...be easily defeated by wearing a sombrero hat, as humorously explained in the sci-fi novel "Fallen Dragon" by Peter F. Hamilton.

How does one go get tested for CMV ? Do I just ask my GP, or directly at the blood bank ?

Watching Bernie bring his own political career to the DNC altar and slaughter it as a sacrifice for Hilary must have been painful. Condolences.

"Solving" the problem centrally is meaningless, because you cannot know, for example, how much more I would enjoy an extra set of forks than you would enjoy a spare bicycle tire. Only the people involved in the outcomes can negotiate this directly, as peers, to determine a mutually-agreeable answer. An algorithm cannot do it in their place.

I see your Turing, and raise you multi-agent approaches.

TL;DR: if you *can* solve the economic organisation problem centrally, then you can also solve it MUCH more efficiently using a distributed, multi-agent method. The free market is one such distributed approach.

Can confirm. Here in France gun control started during Nazi occupation. In fact quite a lot of Vichy-era disruptive measures (urban code, nationalized retirement funds, corporative orders, etc.) were kept as they were or expanded upon after WW2.

35 years of widespread use of statins are showing their results. Depression, Alzheimer's, and generally worse health in old age.

The deficit caused by these big corporations

Haha, nope. However much money politicians get, they'll outspend it, because they benefit politically from it, because they (still) can borrow on the taxpayers' back, and because they don't pay the consequences themselves.

Also, french here, and it's pretty transparent that the Ministère des Finances going after Google is little more than maybe-legal attempted extortion. It's a mediatic coup destined mostly for french voters, in preparation for the coming presidential elections next year - Hollande has been spending a lot on taxis, journalists, students and more, to ensure their loyalty, and now he's pushing for this as a rally attempt on his own left. This is his strategy to eliminate all competition in advance of the election.

But it's a compromise: it favors the national scene over the international. France has lots of tax agreements with other countries where Google pays its taxes, and going after putative billions like this is seriously endangering those agreements, risking a major disruption of international business. French companies which do a lot of their business abroad could be the eventual victims of this hubris. We have our own tax shelters and fiscal niches, enough to call France a "tax haven" for specific categories of businesses and people, and other coutnries ho'd rather see Google's millions go to their own Treasury might take a hint.

I know how to write but I don't know what to write

I know how to walk but I don't know where to go

Yup the paper is about agentivity. At most the research suggests that "free will" happens outside of conscious thought.
