If I may point out, cutting off all exports will also imperil imports of many critical imports, especially foreign produce during winter months and petroleum for fuel and fertilizer.
Did the friend check the expiration date on the beef? Canned food _can_ go bad, especially if it's been mishandled or kept warm. Canned meats can actually last 2 to 5 years if kept cool and the can is not punctured.
_Thank you_ for mentioning this. The DiscWorld stories contain startlingly good explanations of money (in Making Money), of the evolution of information technology (in Going Postal), of women's rights (in Equal Rites), evolution of biology and evolution of colture (Science of DiscWorld, books 1 and 2)
I can attest to the economic theory and the relative costs of _really good_ boots and other tools that last years, versus much lower cost boots. Ladies' boots are an entirely distinct market. But for men's boots, even a casual glance at Amazon shows cheap boots at $40, and the much more robust boots, especially waterproof boots, as at least $130. A 4 to 1 ratio of their durability is not unexpected. The soles of the more robust boots are far more durable, as are their seams, and finding a cobbler who can repair them today has become quite difficult.
Meta analysis of other studies are _extremely_ dangerous. They can be much cheaper, and are much more easily distorted, than collecting real data with detectable, reproducible results. To cite your own example, are any of the newer studies actually measuring life expectancy for people with and without autism? Or are they also meta-analyses, receiving funding becuase the contemporary fascination with autism? And since the definition of autism has been malleable, and the rate of diagnosis of it has effectively doubled between 2000 and 2014 according to the CDC at https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/aut... , how has that distorted the results?
The mere name "socialist" in the political party should not define a state as socialist, I think, any more than the "Democratic party" makes the USA a democracy. The USA is a republic. The Wikipedia analysis is not too bad, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., and draws a clear distinction between the "Marxist-Leninist" states and the multi-party states where there is a party with the word "Socialist" in it. I would look for the vesting of all power in the state, a state that at least has some appearance of election by the citizens, even where the election is mandated and corrupt.
If I might point out, the companies that host their websites, ship their goods, pr publish advertising for them will care somewhat. This will make them liable for illegal behavior of their clients, especially if they are notified and fail to discard such clients.
Legacy financial applications, medical records, and very old games. I have, myself, encountered the difficulties of recovering old data from old media with old software that could easily justify having an effective emulator to recover that data.
I must note that you have not named the country, which is what I'd asked for. This makes your own claim much more difficult to assess.
There is also a noticeable difference between "survival" and "having economic collapse". I'd agree that "producing nothing" is an overstatement of what happens in a socialist society. But the loss of the ability to produce basic necessities of civilization, especially food, has been consistent for nations that become completely socialist. Can you think or especially name any counterexamples where the nation's economy was not completely reliant on foreign aid?
If I may? Laser coherence is bounded by various factors. It is not, in an ideal model, bounded by the classic inverse square law, the simple and observable fact that they are pointed in _one_ direction rather than all directions affects the distribution profoundly. One of the limiting factors is _diffraction_, limited by the size of the laser's lens and the diamater of the collimating chamber. Please, review "single slit diffraction" to understand that the collimation of a laser is limited by its diameter.
Please, if you can think of any, name a nation that approaches pure socialism without suffering economic collapse within a decade. There have been a few very small nations that survived some time with foreign sponsorship.
> However, the vaccine carries less risk than the disease itself
This is part of the key. The vaccine is normally _vastly_ safer than direct exposure, especially because it's killed or weakened enough not to spread to other, unsuspecting people.
Oh. Oh dear. There is an old story about the Cobol programmer who avoided the year 2000 crisis by being frozen in cryosleep. When he woke, he received good news and bad news. The bad news was that he'd oversept due to a year 2000 bug. The good news was that they were concerned about the year 10,000 coming up, and they'd fond him because they were desperately looking for someone who knew Cobol.
If I may point out, members of a species who are not "average" affect the genetics of the whole species. Look at any species where one gender vastly outnumbers the other for an example. Among humans, the older ones have long provided knowledge that could be useful, such as a deeper knowledge of migration routes, weather, and unusual species.
I'd expect to see one at a GameStation near you pretty soon. I'd be very curious to hear about your work. How, for example, do you deal with the "smoothing" problem? With differentiating between small muscle or neurological impulses and the significant signal that people actually want action for, as quickly as possible, without waiting too long to accumulate a valid signal? I'm looking at https://www.sciencedirect.com/..., which gives a good detailed analysis of the problem. The necessary delay to accumulate a reliable signal is roughly 200 milliseconds. That is fairly slow for a reactive "twitch" combat game.
Is it comparable to the delay of electro-mechanical devices you've used? I'm quite curious if you've seen limits to response time with your techniques, or to hear what basic mechanical or electrical designs you use. With some luck, if they're continuing with this project, perhaps they would provide some funding or consulting work for children their design does not quite work for.
It's an interesting technology, It's also somewhat deceitful. Gross motor control with shoulders and leg muscles, instead of finger muscles, cannot be expected to be as fast and delicately controlled as finger movements. I'm delighted that these children, and adults, can play: I'd not expect it to work well for the various "button mashers" or twitch driven 8 button combo combat games.
If I may say, censorship is typically the prevention of free speech, and involves "prior restraint". In this case, it's punishment after the fact for fraudulent speech with foreseeably lethal consequences. Similarly, for the other fraudsters, it is not censorship. It's punishment for fraud.
As someone who is probably older than you, I've observed that "packing the courts" is commonplace. It upsets us most when we see the packing as unfair or against the common interest, or even against law itself. It's certainly occurred throughout the history of judges and whatever selection process is used for them.
If I may point out, that statement is an aphorism. It contains a general truth, but often breaks down very badly if applied badly. Judges generally have a great deal of authority to make a decision _within_ the law. Sentencing guidelines are set in the law as _ranges_. If the law did not require interpretation, there would be far, far fewer lawyers.
Id I may point out, courts do not have to be corrupt for judges to have different policies on the bench, especially judges in different states and at different levels of state or federal judiciary. For cases involving millions of dollars and the profitability of entire industries, it is unsurprising that they and their attorneys would invest in "court shopping". It would be considered unethical for their lawyers _not_ to steer the cases to the venue that best serves their clients' interests.
The sexual activity in all cases allegedly began as consensual. Mr. Assange is one of the very few people in the world in such deep political conflict with notoriously criminal security agencies around the world that a conspiracy against him, with women paid, coerced, or politically convinced to testify against him, is feasible. I'd like to see more details about what the original police involved felt was the truth.
Think of the sale of data correlated to users that goes _past_ anonymity efforts, that is tied to the same recognizable face even for different user accounts. Think of the sale of such data to foreign governments or criminal organizations, or even to domestic surveillance. Think of the poor security of such data against privileged technical or managerial staff at the companies where the data is gathered.
There was such an article, written by James Damore at Google. There are other articles: the moderate ones written with attention to testable or well documented fact don't gather near the attention of an outrage filled complaint.
Sadly, even successful lawsuits can be "spun". This lawsuit seems ripe for political abuse: objecting to the lawsuit can be seen by the most ardent of political feminists as attacks on politically correct thought, as misogyny, or as confirmation of the bias. Failure of the lawsuit can be seen by some as confirmation that female work is, indeed, less valuable than male work. And the "discovery" in a lawsuit is not normally about scientific fact, but rather about what evidence can be compelled from the opposing side and their legal counsel.

There is precedent. It worked with cowpox. The cross-immunity for smallpox was documented by Edward Jenner in 1796.
This is the case for a great deal of human medical research, especially involving trauma.
