Actually (and it has been a long time since I worked in the trenches of personal insurance) it is common for personal insurance policies to be endorsed for special events, such as weddings, birthday parties and the like, that take place away from the home. Most comprehensive personal liability policies cover a wide geographic area (US or worldwide being common iirc), and the principal reason for the endorsement is to show the owner of the site that there is insurance.
An umbrella is a good idea, too, but try buying one without having a homerowners policy (or its equivalent) or, for that matter, automobile insurance.
By the way, such insurance probably does not cover the property of others on your premises; that is their responsibility. It would cover your legal liablity for bodily injury and certain kinds of property damage (but not this kind).
The comprehensive personal liability insurance coverage part of a typical homeowners policy (and similar condo owners and renters policies) would cover this situation provided it is not a business exposure. It probably is ok to pass the hat to cover actual expenses, but if this is intended as a

sort of venture, particularly if it is going to happen more than once, you might need a small business policy. Call your insurance agent or broker.

Are the Han Chinese magically making the Tibetans disappear by sheer virtue of their presence?
might well be "yes, but slowly." Not in the sense of taking them out one by one and shooting them in back alleys, but in the sense of marginalizing them as a consequence, say, of not speaking the same language and not, therefore, having opportunity to compete effectively in the new 'Han' economy. Those that cling to their ways will be marginzlized economically and will survive less well, and those that 'evolve' will no longer be of the same culture and heritage as before.
In the US we call that 'the melting pot' and claim it as a good thing overall, but not every assimilated minority (or majority, in some cases) agrees.
It's occurred to me that this is Boston, and they're probably just cheap.
Last I looked, municipalities have limited abilities to raise funds. If they need more money it means spending less somewhere else (which will gore some oxen) or raise taxes and fees (which will gore others). I know I don't vote to approve every bond issue, sales tax increase, or property tax surcharge that gets proposed in my city, and I imagine that might just be true for a majority of voters in Boston.
Everyone works under fiscal constaints, and constraints always mean compromises. While I can understand that the message from the GP post may be unpalatable, it is a legitimate point of view.
Bollocks.
The correlations are weak, at best, and are barely distinguishable from chance. E.g.,
Consider Table 2. There are 196 entries in the top section of the table. The excess of postive correlations over negative corrlations is a grand total of 8. Assuming 50/50 odds, that excess will happen about 11% of the time just by chance alone. When you factor in the conditional probablity of publishing results (i.e., the argument that if they were any weaker, the data would never have been published), this has to be an extraordinarily weak finding.
The average correlation (without regard to sign) in the same section of Table 2 is a whoppping 0.067, suggesting an average explanatory power on the order of 0.5%. I suppose such power might have some benefit to someone that sends a lot of e-mails to random addresses like spammers, but for the odinary Joe or Jo, this is not a lot to go on.
You raise a good point. This program is just one of many, some public, mostly private, that act as a sort of immune system for the internet. The various malware evolves and gets to exploit each and every weakness that gets found. Having another potentially 'evolving' element of the immune system sounds like a good idea to me. Defending a single point with a single system does not strike me a sensible way to run things.
you can assemble the spacecraft either in orbit of the Moon, or on its surface, having had a much easier time sending smaller bits to the Moon, then launch from there. This means you can use either less fuel or have a much larger spacecraft.
That sound right, once, of course, you have the industrial infrastructure in place to build major (by weight) components from indigenous materials on the Moon. In the near term that ain't gonna happen. Wait several decades (or more) and maybe it does, but not until after someone makes it to Mars on a more direct flight.
4) The central offices where the economists organize the exploitation of the foreign nations that they are dominating
I take it that 4) is a reference to the World Trade Center. I could understand were this a reference to say, the NY Stock Exchange, just a few hundred meters away, but the 'economists that organize the exploitation' in the first of the two towers hit were co-workers of mine. Those folks were:
A large part of the IT support group for my firm. That firm is an insurance brokerage that, while intent on world domination, has not really, as far as I can tell, been exploiting foreign nations, nor have we proven particularly effective at 'dominiating' them (we might have to cop to the US, however).
A group of insurance brokers and consultants who specialized in finding insurance to cover the cost of remediating environmental damage.
I saw the second plane hit, from a room that had been previously occupied by the IT group that had just been relocated to the WTC. I assure you that they were not a military target by any stretch of the concept.
Yes, you are correct. It is unrelated as it predates Katrina. I have attended presentations by state run medical malpractice facilities that are clear on this point. Your move...
If you compare medical malpractice insurance costs in TX vs a neighboring state like LA, which did not pass similar reform, you would quickly convince yourself that there was an effect. One consequence of lower med mal insurance rates is that there has been a emigration of doctors out of the state of LA, some of whom immigrated to TX.
Or move to a continent such as Europe where there are still lots of fit girls and where the proportion of obesity in the populations isn't as high as in northern america (Yet. But it is getting widespread at an alarming rate)
While I know that folks in the UK don't think of themselves as true 'Europeans,' they are in the EU. This took place at
RTFS. It works in combination of sunlight. You would have to reinstall the cc at dusk, and during winter months and bad weather. That seems unlikely to me.
This is a local story to me. On the TV news last night one of the security company's staff was interviewed. He asserted:
o Only publicly available information - name, address, etc. was on the laptop.
o No private data such as SSID and credit card information were on the laptop
This does not excuse the lack of security, but it might make those that had their data on the laptop feel better, if true.
Just out of curiosity, how long does that whole process take, assmuming they don't detain you for having obviously wiped your drive for however long it takes their data techs to try to restore, since you have now given them the distinct impression that you thought you used to have stuff on your drive worth hiding?

Sure, go with the old S&B! But, FTFA:
a psychologist conducted an experiment with three-year-olds: if the symbol was affixed to a bottle they anxiously shouted "poison!", but if it was placed on a wall they enthusiastically yelled "pirates!".
But then, on the other hand, if there are still pirates 10K years from now, we must have somehow solved global warning, right?
True if you accept the axiom. However, the conditional "if this is true then that is true" is not acceptance of an axiom, e.g., I can say
"If there is a god, then evidence suggests he has the following limitations" and debate and discuss those limitations and that evidence, without actually accepting the proposition.
I will admit to believing the cummuative, associative and distibutive axia re addition, but I also know consistent systems can be constructed with different assumptions.
I think you may be describing a mischaracterization of at least some atheists. The position of at least some atheists is that, skeptically, one believes on the basis of proof and evidence, and lacking either, the default is 'do not believe.' In such a paradigm, the opinion of an atheist is not an affirmative belief in nonexistence based on some concept of faith, but the result of having looked and found neither proof nor evidence.
If I say "I believe 1 + 1 = 2" that is actually shorthand for a more complex "If one accepts the following axioms, then..." which is a very different point of view than saying "Based on faith alone I believe..."

I am guessing something like this:
Cooked food --> greater expression of 'intelligence'
a) --> more ability to compete amongst cousins --> natural selection
b) the selection is partially genetic and partially memetic --> more natural selection
