I simply meant that my experience is that those on the right don't deploy ridicule as much when dissent is expressed. I'm not speaking to the individual issues you listed at all, of course we disagree on some of those and likely

Republicans do have similar echo chambers. My personal experience, as someone who has moved from left to right but still hangs out in a lot of left leaning circles, the right tends to be more tolerant of dissent. It's getting harder t

I'm a CRDT newbie, but I'll take a stab, hopefully someone can correct me if I'm getting it wrong. After a quick reading the "CRDTs go brr" and the wikipedia page, I think CRDT gives us a mathematical strategy for r

Can you point to a good introduction to Conflict-free replicated data types (CRDT)? It's crossed my (short attention span) radar a couple times and seems interesting. I really love the idea about being able to use it, but also "f

I think we are saying the same thing- we can shed way more heat than just about any other land mammal. This results in more endurance, because other animals have to take a break to cool down. I imagine that cunning and endurance would go

Thank you so much for this reply. For me personally, as I get older and gain experience, I become less ideological about the world and more pragmatic. It makes sense that both good and bad research can take place in either industry or aca

This article and your comment are inspiring me to walk more. I do walk some, maybe 10 miles a week or so. I almost always feel better mentally and physically when I walk. It's such an ancient activity for humans. It's interes

Can you tell us more? This sounds oddly fascinating.

Thank you for sharing this! It brings to my mind the tension and conflict between Robin Williams and the Fields' medal mathematician in Good Will Hunting. It sounds like you still do get to do science. I suspect that you may be havin

This is straight up flame bait that adds nothing to an otherwise reasonable discussion.

I didn't say you wanted to abolish the 2nd amendment. Your now flagged post stated making people feel vulnerable will lead to more regulation. Or that's what you hoped would happen. People make choices about how they will respon

Making people feel like targets will persuade them to give up self-defense?

So the choice is get the vaccine or "act like Typhoid Mary"? Can you hear how extreme your argument is? Edit: Typhoid Mary is an interesting case. She spent decades in quarantine. She broke quarantine at times and infected peo

Many ignore that the authorities always have guns. The only question is whether the civilians are able to have them too!

If an attacker is stopped before it happens, we don't really know if it would have been a rape or a mugging or an assault. Don't take my post as fact, please research this and come up with your own opinion. Let it simmer a bit in

I'm unlikely to get a covid vaccination at this point, so let's use me as an example. Will I be able to earn a living? Will I be able to travel freely? Can I go to the store? Shall I be able to live where I do now or perhaps I sho

HN is full of conjecture and rich discussion on lots of topics. It is better to let people share anecdotes and opinions without ridiculing them.

It depends on who you ask! If you ask the mugger, he will likely say that you did have a choice.

This comment really hit me hard, Rayiner. I'm sending good thoughts and prayers to you and your family and every family with small children. Reading another massive thread on HN about covid and vaccines. We are all drawn to it like a

I see a lot of comments making the assumption that reduced capacity is solely from extra patients seeking treatments. There's another possibility, decreased hospital capacity due to vaccine requirements for the staff. https:/&#x2

I mostly agree with you, but what about the company's autonomy? This isn't coming from the company, it's coming from OSHA. What will the penalty be for companies who don't comply? I wonder how long there won't be

I'm not claiming that they aren't vaccines. Words change definition to follow usage. However, Merriam-Webster literally changed their definition of vaccine in the past 6 months or so. [0][1] My argument is that by including thes

For me personally, it's decreased general trust. I don't see the establishment as having a lot of credibility at this point. Bad smells that make me distrust: Changing definitions of the word vaccine, so that the Covid 19 injecti

This is flame bait and extremely insulting. Trust is indeed at issue here, but in my opinion, it's more about a lack of trust in authorities rather than trust in the "wrong talking heads". However, this is all conjecture on

That's really interesting! Did the hospital or staff seem to have trouble keeping up with patients?

History can tell us about historical vaccines, not new ones, especially mRNA vaccines.

FYI, here is an article from The Atlantic describing just that from 2015. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/10/emergency... It may not be the norm, but how unusual was it?
