The Senate could of course do the right thing and refuse to confirm Kennedy or any of the people in his orbit. Not that I expect the Republicans who will be in the majority to do the right thing.

Exactly. Insurance handles low-probability high-impact uncorrelated disasters really nicely, and is worth paying for to protect against those.

Correlated disasters require public policy and shared infrastructure to lower their risk and the extent to which people are exposed to them.

What’s going on here is that Sheldon Whitehouse, the Democratic Senator, held a hearing which made data about insurance drops and rate increases public. That’s creating a news cycle about it

You probably can’t pay out of pocket to replace your house if it burns down.

This article is about homeowners insurance, not health insurance

They do occasionally enforce the signal jamming laws. Do it with any regularity in a way that messes up police radio, and they will work to catch you.

I’m using Firefox with ublock origin and no problems. Maybe Voyager strips out the access token from the URL?

There’s a fairly small list of names it refuses. Almost all names are ok; the author’s is not.

Mostly because really messed up state on your device can keep Javascript from running.

It’s a gift link. You won’t hit the paywall during the next couple weeks unless at least one of the following is true:

• You’ve disabled javascript
• You’re running a browser extension which strips off the access token (you may also see this problem if you’re accessing the post via mastodon instead of lemmy)
• your device desperately needs a reboot

Light pollution hasn’t really changed (though it does increase in December every year)

What has changed is a social phenomenon of people taking photos of ordinary stuff, such as planets, stars, or commercial aircraft, posting it to social media, and telling others that it’s nefarious drones. This creates social contagion of the idea and action, as others do the same.

Since “mysterious object in sky” gets a lot more social media engagement than “Here’s a not-very-good photo of Jupiter” the whole thing spreads.

It’s really tough when you get things like a former governor posting a photo of the constellation Orion and trying to claim that it is mysterious hovering drones.

Notice how it’s a statement from another insurer

No, I’m saying that it isn’t possible significantly shift peoples’ diets to olive oil from other fats and oils because olive oil consumption is supply-constrained.

We can’t take the risk to zero — but we can reduce it pretty sharply. And that would be a big deal.

Olive oil doesn’t scale to match anything near current human consumption — a big chunk of what’s sold as olive oil is already counterfeit.

They’re comparing actual exposure to estimated risk at that exposure. So no, we’re not doing nearly enough to limit exposure, which is the whole point.

Yeah, inland areas transition to a thermokarst landscape, while places next to the ocean can just disappear entirely.

No type of source control helps when the people who control access are giving it to people who shouldn’t have it. Think of it as the github workspace admin giving out accounts to malicious individuals.

It’s not “I sent it as a pdf” but “I gave edit access to the master copy to somebody who shouldn’t have had it”
