Except in this case, it's not mob manipulation, it's calculated theology.

That novel looks amazing, and it's going on my reading list. Thanks!

It doesn't quote enough context to even clarify if he recommended damage, or whether he was mocking the people doing the damage. EDIT: found a larger quotation. From the context, the use of the quote in TFA looks like a misrepresentati

It doesn't justify the destruction of historical artifacts, though. :/

I was under the impression - not having studied much about Jaynes' theory - that it is a well-regarded but falsified theory. That being said, what you describe sounds like an amazing premise for a novel.

IIRC, fake news was originally used by the left, but co-opted by Trump.

I imagine that we don't have sufficiently precise data to plan far enough ahead to launch a mission that can deorbit the debris.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It's definitely important to be aware of potential biases.

What he actually said. He clearly gives caveats to what he's saying: he's not advocating anyone actually do anything. He's talking about further research. "So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it&#x2

Lol. I figured that's the only series that deals with ansible communication. Guess not.

It's a reference to the Enter Chronicles, but the parent wrote that themselves. Edit; Ender Chronicles...spallig is hard. :)

I think you're leaving out a middle option, which is what I see when I read 'pro-HCQ' - a scientist who thinks we should further investigate HCQ (etc.) as a treatment option. Not someone who thinks it should be used as treat

The thing is, there are parts of Matlab's syntax which are fantastic, and I would be disappointed if they didn't copy it.

Experts that actually advocate zinc? That's overstating it. The question is whether or not HCQ was the original theory, and zinc and azithromycin were added on later. So here's a collection of studies and trials conceived early on

by ColanR 6y ago
The popular, layman's discussion of HCQ has been buzzwords and watered down, and that's where the idea of HCQ by itself comes from. Far as I know, the experts who think HCQ is viable have been pretty forthcoming from early on wit

I wish it wasn't political, but somehow it seems to have gotten that way.

It sounds like you're ignoring the other studies that did show benefit. The people who came up with those studies wanted to save lives, too, just like the people who still think that HCQ is being overlooked. > You came up with thos

> So to end up having done a whole study on HCQ efficacy but NOT covered the bases on "zinc needed" seems unbelievable. I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you critiquing the study for not measuring and supplementing
113.
by ColanR 6y ago
The parameters within which HCQ is thought to work have been clearly stated. If a study is attempting to evaluate HCQ without following those parameters , then the study is badly designed regardless of when it's being discussed.

by ColanR 6y ago
Came here to say this. HCQ is the buzzword we use to refer to the treatment, but it's the combination HCQ with zinc or azithromycin that is actually thought to be useful.

Talking about the complexity of modern software might be a tangent. However. I think that if time and effort were limited by this fragmentation, we would find that we're able to do just fine with browsers that have fewer hours of effor

Seems like it could be compared to breaking up a monopoly. When there's one player in town (Java & Android in the two examples I used), any competing ideas never get a chance to succeed: we're still using variations of Java,
