I gave this study some more thought today and I think the authors are making another big mistake. Let’s say two people fell off a two-story roof while cleaning gutters. They have an identical fall. They are both the same age, say 60. Who is more likely to die as a result of that injury? The very out-of-shape unhealthy person or the healthy person? The g-forces when they hit the ground are different. And their ability to recover are different. Yes, healthy people should recover from accidents more frequently than unhealthy people.

There’s a reason for the saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

I think this is one of the challenges of the internet. If I’m at work, school, the store, etc. and I see a nutjob, I can usually recognize it and I will treat that person differently and I sure the heck aren’t going to give his opinions a lot of credibility. On the internet, we are all equal. It has some benefits, but there’s a major disadvantage that people suffering from serious delusions are treated the same as everyone else.

I don’t subscribe to any communities on that instance. If you defederate, I probably won’t notice. If we can do anything that’ll even make marginally better the lives of those who have gone through so much, I support what good we can do.

The study didn’t even give honest comparable groups. It treats people born in 1954 the same as people born in 1977, even though things like BMI, amount of youth physical activity, and quality of medical care has not remained the same over time. Actual mortality is much more likely to have happened to people born in 1954 than 1977 and so the people in this year weigh more heavily vs. the total study population. With so many uncontrolled variables, I don’t think this study can tell us anything useful. In my honest opinion, any correlation between accident mortality and other types of mortality studied could be explained by correlations that are due to one of these uncontrolled variables and not the object of the study.

This is a terrible study design. A person’s physical fitness doesn’t remain the same over time. The study looked at health at age 18 and then locked in the groups for the rest of the study. A doctor is going to say, “Exercise now,” not “Go back in time to age 17 and exercise so you have good fitness at age 18.” What matters is how exercise impacts a person over time, not how exercise from 30, 40, or 50 years ago impacts you today.

Can we have technology that’s secure enough that it doesn’t matter what country we are in?

It is based on income and household size. If you earn above the threshold, it won’t apply.

Turns out it was an antichristian anti-natalist who bombed the clinic.

How will the average person on that level of income fair after including the earned income tax credit?

Exactly. These developments are never walkable spaces and are never well connected with other parts of the city, making traffic worse and people even more car dependent.

Soldiers for more war in Libya. They won’t have a say, it’ll be mandatory.

How much of the VPN market goes away after enforcing this law?

I’m teaching my 15 year old how to drive and we drive a manual transmission. She’s doing just a well as her three older siblings that learned on automatics.
