This is incorrect. Even if the fetus is a person, it has a right to individual liberty. It doesn’t have a right to another person’s body. If it can’t survive without someone else’s organs it’s right to survival doesn’t out weigh the hosts right to bodily autonomy. An easy comparison is organ donation. We don’t require organ donation from corpses (much less demand organs from living people who have a ‘spare’) even though a lack of available organs does limit the life/liberty of people who need them. The uterus is no different than a kidney. You don’t have the right to demand to use someone else’s organs even if your life depends on them.

There are often a lot of steps between a discovery (or even a patent) and commercial viability. Patents make it easier for the companies to raise funding to do that work and move from theoretical or small scale to an actual product.

Also you could argue that patents are open access. The whole point of a patent is you give a complete summary of what the invention is and how to replicate it (with a level of detail that would allow someone knowledgeable in the field to recreate it) in exchange for a time limited legal moat.

But that ignores the mass suffering that pushing people to move will prevent?

It’s not why are you so worried about all of these people who will have their lives destroyed when there are a bunch of other people who will be totally fine

It’s Why aren’t you worried about everyone having their life destroyed, if we can encourage people to move it may be challenging for them but it will save their lives.

Oh she/you should check out mast cell activation syndrome (mcas). Basically different foods increase histamine levels in the body or prevent its degradation. Old proteins and fermented foods are particularly problematic because microbes break down the protein and release histamine precursors.

This is my biggest frustration with the code they generate (but it does make it easy to check if my students have even looked at the generated code). I dont want to fail silently or hard code an error message, it creates a pile of lies to work through for future debugging

I think you've misunderstood the situation (and the article). Having the national guard get things under control means pitting them against ICE and likely actually triggering a civil war.

The problem is not Minnesotans or paid protestors rioting, the problem is a hostile occupying force is actively targeting Minnesotans and Walz is trying to balance protecting his constituents with not escalating the situation.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Minnesota have conflicting incentives delegate counts driving their bad judgement" or why you think its bad judgement to protest the murder of a community member.

But I dont disagree that as tensions ratchet up eventually someone will do something stupid, and ICE will threaten enough people that it sets off a conflict between ICE and the local law enforcement/national guard.

But the coldest year we'll experience for the rest of our lives. Even if we get emissions down to zero tomorrow we are facing additional degrees of warming.

Instead of focusing on emission reductions we need to be talking about the best way to capture and confidently sequester CO2 on the tens of gigaton scale. In terms of size -- the carbon atoms in a decades worth of anthropogenic CO2 equivalents could build a diamond mount everest. A few hundered ppm change doesnt sound like much until you remember you need to integrate across the volume of the atmosphere.
