In practise, the Government health service is so big that the pharma companies have to seriously negotiate lower prices. As a result, in Canada drug costs are but a small fraction of what they are in the "free market" U.S.
The constitution in general, and the 4th amendment in particular, is quite vague as to what is allowed and what isn't. If voters are willing to go along with it, that's all that matters.
But, they are also required to record anything and everything you say. So, if a dishonest cop/prosecutor wants to use this against you sometime in the future, they can. Just because the people you are talking to are honest and fair doesn't mean everyone who reads their report will be.
If I want to let my septic system spill out into my neighbour's well, that's his problem. Nobody is going to force me to be a good neighbour.
And anybody who tries is "immoral and despicable" and "whether they admit it or not are anti-freedom".
And yet everybody has seen examples of really bad, really dangerous driving. Many of the fatalities reported involved intoxication. Maybe you don't need to be in the top 50% - just not in the bottom 5%.
That would likely reduce the number of negative reviews, as the (probably famous) paper authors would seek vengence against those reviewers who "make them look bad".
It's also true that many experiments are extremely expensive to perform, and getting the grant $$ to repeat a published experiment may be all but impossible.
This is especially true in medicine, where clinical trials can run into millions of dollars.
But no matter how fast earth time passes for the astronaut, the astronaut still needs a number of years greater than 1600 to get there.
Wrong, wrong,wrong.
As a body approaches c, its internal clocks (including ageing) slow down w.r.t. clocks on earth. It's only by accounting for this change that makes GPS possible.
Lathes, CNC cutters, drills, and milling machines are not only expensive, but require years of training before someone can use them to make anything complex. Using a 3D printer, on the other hand, requires:
1. download design file
2. click "START"
Straw man. Nobody has ever described guns as evil, only dangerous. Vastly more dangerous than toasters, pressure cookers, baseball bats, or boxes of spaghetti.
. And yet, the epiphenomenalist states, one of them could be doing everything unconsciously, mere movements of matters, while the other would be conscious
It's not as simple as that. Many epiphenomenalists simply dismiss the whole issue of whether the entity is truly "conscious" or not as irrelevant sophistry. Since no one can know whether another entity is having conscious experience (you could be chatbot, for all I know), you may as well just ignore the whole concept.

And "how nature works" apparently includes eradicating species that cause trouble for the rest of the biosphere - like Homo sapiens, for example.
In theory.

Also, I think any of the scopes on Mauna Kea or the Andes would blow this thing out of the water.
Cool project, though.
I think they mean infamous for things like this:

On what do you base that claim?

I am having the stuttering-skipping problem mentioned above. Funny thing, it only happens with a Microsoft Mouse!
I suppose you are referring to the "free" market, also known as the "fantasy" market.
There's no such thing.
Never was. Never will be.
Damn straight.

So nyah.
That disappear when you look at them.
But, they must succeed quite often at things the rest of us fail at, or they are bound to get disillusioned and quit.

I remember that.
I think it was called a "newspaper" or something.

But how would it seem to the astronaut?
The intense gravity would also warp his perception of time.
Assuming that he is ageing.
Obviously, interstellar travel will require some kind of suspended animation.
That's because almost everyone has heard of the STASI, but very few could name the corresponding agencies from Poland, Romania, Bulgaria etc.

Aren't daleks computers? What about cybermen?
And their bonuses no doubt.
