I guess it is true that the exact wording of the amendment says that states can be as restrictive as they want on alcohol, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they can be more lenient than the feds.

While your general argument has merit, alcohol is a bad example because states' control over that particular substance is explicitly granted in the constitutional amendment that repealed prohibition.

Might the logic behind this be this?: RAM is expensive. Storage is expensive. Nobody's going to buy a computer anyway, so you might as well make the other components more expensive too.

It even goes with Trump's more general agenda to make everything more expensive.

My thought as well.

Sure enough,

"OLAP". Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Obviously NYT is just about narrative construction but it would be nice to know some figures like:

* what is that in percentage of researchers?
* and grants
* how many are typical in a year?
* what is the net in each direction for this time period?
* and for a typical year

I happen to know rwo researchers who got a position in Canada and several Canadians who got positions at US schools. That just seems normal from my limited perspective but maybe it's just because I feed them Molson and poutine so they keep coming around.

Remember, numbers given without percentages and percentages given withouts without numbers are always propaganda.

This has been your Defense against the Dark Arts class for today. Do your homework.

To me it appears you've go an extreme definition of "meaningful". It you want to claim the effect will be small, I'll go along with you. If you want to claim it won't be present...why do you believe that? It appears to me to be an unreasonable claim.

Well, actually Denver usually DOES have higher cancer rates. Attribution, however, is difficult. (It's probably not just altitude.)

Gates proposed taxing AI or robots the way you would pay a human employee's payroll tax

Unless we also roll out ubiquitous surveillance through a Vingean "Secure Hardware Environment"-like scenario where people aren't fully in charge of their own computers, I don't see how anyone could possibly detect whether or not I'm running any LLMs. Much like private DMCA violations (e.g. playing a CSS-protected DVD that you purchased, without getting authorization from the copyright owner first), it wouldn't have to interact with the world outside my house in any way, so it would be completely undetectable.

How would you tax that? I don't see this as reasonably possible without some pretty extreme measures.

What do you mean? Denver has frequently been compared with some sea level city, and found to suffer more radiation damage. (The exact radiation damage found depends on the study.) Of course, it's hard to control for the amount of granite, etc. nearby, so they aren't strictly reliable studies, but they *have* been made.

Sorry, that's a bad argument. It may well be true, but any absorbed radiation will raise the temperature, and any raise in the temperature makes unusual chemical reactions more probable. So you need to argue that the factor is too trivial to be significant. This is probably true, but has never been demonstrated, and probably cannot be demonstrated. (I've seen claims that they're demonstrated the harmlessness, but the claims were always logically invalid.)

Have you tried doing carnivore for thirty days?

I did the beef / tallow / salt only thing a couple years ago and it gets old very fast but the metabolic changes hit fast after about 15 days.

Surprisingly it was cheaper than a regular grocery bill (not counting labor for roasting).

Probably a bit better with a CGM but I only had test strips.

I dropped 15 lbs which wasn't my primary goal but could have kept it up if I needed to lose more weight.

Watch the video of the EMT's loading the ambulance at his home.

If they were any more non-rushed they would have had time for a card game.

If there were even the faintest pulse they would have screamed out of there with sirens blazing.

But TPTB didn't want Massie running in a special election.

Day by day the populous is realizing that "Democracy does not exist".

"Just let me live the life I want to live, by fucking up others' lives way more than the other party may have mildly inconvenienced me for sound policy. Wait, why is this affecting me now?"

It's a tale as old as time.

and they ignore our laws in favour of their own

Well, we can at least tell you learned zero Canadian history.
