Given the magnitude of “science” today, I’m not sure there’s much that can be done in free time. Perhaps a math savant can help out with theoretical difficulties, and amateur astronomers have always played a role in seeing “interesting things”. Perhaps people can participate in clinical trials, but such participation has a huge random component - gotta have the right profile and symptoms for anything but safety trials. However, women and children are often underrepresented so their participation (where ethical) would help.
The largest contribution would be providing programming expertise as those doing science aren’t usually strong in that area. Making Linux and its tools more robust. Improving math and other libraries. Improving networking and data sharing. Even helping research groups develop more robust and reproducible code. The HN community, I assume, is skilled in all aspects of computerization it should be quite useful pushing science forward. If individuals are so furtunate, they can contribute money as well as (or rather than) effort.
Losing WFH puts pressure on two-professional couples that limits geographic choices. A job switch tends to become two… It also loses access to talent that for whatever reason doesn’t like where you’re located, but is willing to work for you. It also exacerbates the cost of housing, as people can’t relocate to afford it. It’s also harder on the environment and workers due to commuting time and hassle.
It’s also a sign that you don’t and won’t trust your workers. Especially when managers are able to do it.
It’s a big ask for a national team to stay home. It’s more likely that a player or two might “be injured” and miss the games. However, there’s far more chance that the fans will stay away. It’s expensive getting there, and access control will be difficult for many team’s fans. The weather might also be bad for both the players and fans. Those with the ticket and travel info know but nothing seems to have been mentioned so far.
En masse, uefa could just move the games to Europe and invite Argentina and Brazil…
I had good results with hyaluronic acid for knee osteoarthritis. Sometimes they sell it as Type II Collagen. "Source Naturals Hyaluronic Joint Complex" was the best for my relatives/friends' knee problems. I take it a few times a month (with resveratrol) for smooth skin. I have been taking it since 2008 without any negative result.
Seems like it should work. I do not have experience with that condition. A quick search online (patella tendonitis hyaluronic acid) yielded this study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22526713/
So they are using hyaluronic acid injections for patella tendonitis. Taking hyaluronic acid orally would probably take longer for effects compared to injections. Most people would prefer the injections because they feel safer for a doctor to do all the work. I prefer the tablets. If you have the money, I guess go for the injections. I would use the H.A. tablets. (With a tall glass of water, and do not take at the same time as blood-thinning medication, like pain killers or drugs.)
You should check out Michael Levin. Cancerous cells do not grow organ-like structures. Normal cells communicate with other cells as a network to control growth.
The US is the only country who has triggered
Article 5 (9/11). The US then refused what was offered, choosing to go it alone. Although NATO eventually took over in Afghanistan.
Puerto Rico is not a country, today, but is analogous to Greenland. They could vote to become closer to the US or vote to distance themselves. Similar to all less-than-independent regions held by larger countries. Remnants of the age of exploration or before, or the crumbs left from wars.
Pushing the me-strong logic to the (absurd?) limit, why isn’t California a country? Or New England? Or the red state swath of the US?
Do they realize who actually lives in Greenland and that it’s not green? Or do they think they’ll just deport them all back to where they came from (sigh) and warm the place up?
It’s an allusion to him previously working as a Goldman sachs banker, Goldman sachs is lovingly referred to as a vampire squid, its tentacles are everywhere.
The HN community is going to have to adapt to having difficulties getting the people it wants into the US to work. Or, it has to figure out how to operate with the flexibility of US-based companies elsewhere. But the changes underway are going to have a detrimental effect on the community that we've discussed this century.
Yup, the middle powers have to organize and work together to avoid being chum. The economic power is there, and they can shift from purchasing US weaponry (thus paying US workers) into purchasing middle-power weaponry (thus paying middle-power workers). Car/truck plants can be repurposed, and if Ukraine's lesson is valid then smaller, portable weaponry is now the preferred solution. Cheaper, and the middle powers don't have huge investments in tanks and ships.
6 decades before NATO was formed, Britain was the largest economy and financial empire. The US was up-and-coming but had not yet had its war with Spain to demonstrate their arrival. Nato was formed "To keep the US in, the Germans down and the Russians out" (per Ismay). The first clause is now inoperative. The second clause is being reversed by the various Euro states and the third, unfortunately, remains.
There was also a benefit to the US maintaining NATO - it could nudge/encourage/guide other countries into doing things it wanted done (such as Afganistan). This soft power is being discarded with NATO.
