Moderna has not been distributing its vaccines fast enough internationally. There is a timer to these things you know, because the virus can mutate more. For that reason I'd rather put my investment in 3D printing or something.

Why is everything a large group of people do collectively called a 'mob' these days, for everything? Is no one allowed to do things together anymore without being chastised?

I recall many users telling me swift would be the new python and that it would take over the machine learning domain.

I believe google should reveal their algorithm.

What's amazing to me about HN is comments like this don't get downvoted, but comments about how maybe we should tax the wealthy a little bit do.

Is that why farms need subsidies to survive? Because the farm owners are really good at allocating capital?

How does it work?

It would be, if anyone was making that claim. Instead they say that because things are better now, then you cannot complain.

This is 90% of people's reaction to UBI.

This is a well-done analysis. Unfortunately, bitcoin is not replacing gold. They're being mined side-by-side. Eventually the damage will be done, yes bitcoin might become the primary value storing currency. But we'll have tons and

When other people stop relying on them for all imports? Have to have a new iphone every year, right?

i wonder what the difference between eating and using bitcoin could possibly be..

It's less than you thought? What did you think it would be and why?

Who said anything about 'morality'? The evidence of disaster of letting people with excess wealth make loans they don't suffer consequences for is everywhere. To be a reductionist and say 'risk management is just x, what

Seeing as you are someone who is interested in constructive dialogue, I encourage you to read Capital, so you can form an even stronger dialogue about the pros and cons of modern capitalism.

The irony of using corn markets as an analogy when they are the most subsidised industry in America is lost on him. At the end of the day this has always been a question of who 'deserves' what, dismissed by people like the author

> hes talking about absolute risk rather than relative risk could you explain the difference?

This still begs the question. Risk is about unexpected loss of investment, which means at its core it's about the moral and physical consequences of losing money. If the consequences of risk are not actually felt, materially, by financ

Did finance need defending?

Personally I donate to keep wikipedia independent so they don't get bought up by an entity. I don't care what agendas they have and there are no better alternatives (and never will be).

Machine Learning has literally partially solved protein folding. I used to be a denier too but there's no getting past this now.

I'm a fan of bitcoin, but there are clearly serious environmental detriments, and i see it ultimately becoming another regulated entity (it's already happening in india).

Well, this proves the historical materialists right.

It's obviously desirable, but it's going to be a really funny joke when they realise you can still die incredibly easily by a fatal accident, robbing you of your promised 800 years of life. It doesn't help that these types of

Ah, the hopeless pursuit of eternal life. Old people's desperation shows itself every single time this headline pops up. You only get one life and you will still only have one life if we cure ageing. Don't let it get to your head.

I don't think it would disobey any laws of thermodynamics if we continuously depleted external resources to keep ourselves going 'forever' (until those resources deplete). It's theoretically doable (if the technology is

No, you only think that's irrational because you can only see so far. In reality we help people because in the long run it benefits us more than not. A rising tide lifts all boats etc. You don't actually get as much out of being s

Uh oh, this contradicts your claim. No evidence of stone age slavery and says to my point that it was only after the agricultural revolution with a surplus of resources, which came due to technology.

The statement probably doesn't agree with you, at least from my interpretation, because markets are already placed above the individual. That is, most groups think markets matter more than individual lives. ymmv.
