What role does access to health care have I wonder. Canada and Australia (well, ALL other developed nations) have universal healthcare. I know that in the states past 65 they do, but not getting proper health care before then surely puts people at risk of dying earlier. Also, what is the venn diagram of people who are obese and don't have affordable access to healthcare - double whammy.
The American demographic with the highest rate of being uninsured, Hispanics, have life expectancies comparable to the UK average. So access to healthcare probably plays some role, but it seems like there are lots of other confounding factors.
It also doesn’t seem to vary that much by state level healthcare differences. States vary quite a bit by geography, but states that didn’t do Medicaid expansion, like Wisconsin and Wyoming, seem to have similar rates to neighboring states that did.
Given the ubiquitous CCTV coverage the UK has and has had for some time, I would suspect they've had nationwide facial recognition for a while already. Just on the down-low.
For me, the email interface works great. I treat it as a self-populating to-do list. The 'one thread per contact' wouldn't work because I organize by project/topic and often have multiple of these with the same contacts.
IM threads have a place of course, but regular email works for me and is actually an important structural element of my work flow.
The other part of the preceding comment was about citizens united. A concrete action would be to pass a law that explicitly excludes corporations from the definition of people and restricts the kind of lobbying/legalized-bribery that currently empowers the powerful.
He wasn't screaming at them, he was filming them and then later helping up someone else who had been assaulted by them. Not that it should matter, screaming at the feds is protected first amendment activity.
I would probably not do that, but it's not illegal to carry a gun. Who knows if he set out to protest or if he just was in the area and spontaneously decided to record when he observed federal agents? He could be one of many Americans who carry a gun regularly. Maybe he didn't intend to do any protesting or anything at all.
I don't see any evidence that he was resisting. His hands were on the ground and he allowed himself to be disarmed. I did not hear any commands before the dogpile and subsequent gunshots. If I'm missing something please tell me what to listen for in the videos and I'll watch again.
The implication being that summary execution is a perfectly acceptable punishment for not immediately falling on the ground with your hands behind your back when a “law enforcement” goon eve looks at you?
Lol, here we go again. "If you do not obey the orders of the execution squad as they are killing you, then their killing you is justified. After all, they are lAw eNfOrCeMeNt!!!1!!"
Zotero is fantastic. But I really would love to see organic bibtex support. Betterbibtex works, but it would be better that it were intrinsic feature rather than an add-on.
