UBI is fine by me. A gig economy would be just fine as long as the UBI was covering at least the basic cost of living.
But we don't have the UBI now, and so the gig economy isn't supportable. One or the other condition must go.
Right now, it seems more likely that the Troglodytes running things will impose some limits on the gig economy (if only because of bribes) than they are to implement UBI.
There are 14 billion years worth of computation in game, but what makes you so sure it doesn't represent 5 minutes of run time on a powerful computer running in a much more complex universe somewhere? Perhaps we're part of the burn-in?
Exactly. The Libertarian party seems to have forgotten all about being against corporate charters. And certainly none of the few that actually get into office have even attempted to do away with prescriptions or any sort of licensing for anything. When is the last time a big L Libertarian has supported piercing the corporate veil or a class action lawsuit?
That won't help them for long if they keep going with the lockdown. As soon as word gets around that you can't fix a Deere, their sales will tank there too.
First, it is the current drug that may cause hemorrhages. That's why it can only be used in some cases. Second, the component of the venom they're using isn't one of the ones that kills you.
That's because TPA didn't exist in '72. It is a powerful clot buster that can save the victim of an ischemic stroke but will probably kill someone with a hemorrhagic stroke. If they can't tell which type of stroke you have they will "first do no harm".
It is true that an adequate environment and rewarding life helps to break the addiction cycle, but that doesn't mean there is no medical aspect to addiction.
Prescribing off-label is not necessarily a problem. The FDA is not the end-all of drug uses. However, it is wrong and even dangerous to simply cut a patient off rather than tapering them down. Some of that though is caused by fears of the DEA. Some is just not good practice.
Some people are simply between a rock and a hard place when it comes to pain and pain relief. Trying to walk the thin line between tolerable pain and tolerable side effects is more art than science. Sometimes, even the best answer isn't a GOOD answer, it's just least bad.
No, it's actually a medical condition. Opiate withdrawal is not just a lack of feeling good. Addiction can happen even when the drugs are taken exactly as prescribed. Sometimes even that significant drawback is justified by the amount of pain the person would otherwise be in.
If the DEA would quit practicing medicine without a license it would be a solvable medical problem rather than a legal issue.
Kinda like the arson experts that sent a guy away and then much later it was discovered that their "sure sign of arson" happens a lot in accidental fires as well?
Not necessarily. I have an encrypted filesystem on my HD for testing purposes. Nobody, including me, has the password. I created it, threw some copies of data in it and unmounted it. I may or may not ever be able to read it back (it's looking more like may not).
This legislation papers the deal in advance and saves a lot of boiler plate replication. Beyond that, since they are publicly funded, they don't get to choose.
It's hardly the first law that can void a signed contract.
As for your final point, get back to me when DRM is banned.

More likely you are looking in a mirror and don't like what you see.
Perhaps you should look back up at your post that started this and ask yourself the hard questions.
We would know eventually, see TFS. The other reasons probably exist as well.
I see no signs of empathy whatsoever.
Yes, yes, we get it. You won the lottery and the rest of us can go screw ourselves. You've made that abundantly clear.
BTW, I'm not working for Fiverr either. I just haven't lost my ability to sympathize with people who didn't have a better option.
If their business model can't support paying a living wage, it SHOULD go away rather than damaging the economics of more adequate employers.
And there it is. That perennial favorite, "I got mine, SCREW YOU!".
Remember that when you (literally or figuratively) find that note where your car used to be parked.
I want to fix the brainwashing that has removed the sense of decency from so many people.
If the cost is destruction of the environment in exchange for that metric assload of money, it is like they're screwing people.

Further, it's hardly surprising to see wild swings in a feedback system destabilized by a large input of energy.
They are not skeptics, they're deniers. Skeptics can change their mind once presented evidence. Deniers refuse to acknowledge evidence as meaningful.
That is naturally infuriating to someone who hasn't yet caught on to their game and written them off.
I would say that predictions matching later measurements is a pretty good sign that the climate scientists are on to something.
A few percent off the top of such a large volume is a metric assload of money.
Just wait for the next version that will randomly poke the user in the eye. Users demand features so they're working on one.
