You mentioned "how Italy got overrun", so I was talking about the timeframe that you brought up. I'm not trying to change the subject.

Youtube is responsible for the harm here IMO. The video is long and boring. If it wasn't being censored, nobody would care to pay any attention to it.

Yeah I agree that is very dangerous, although that is exactly what governments and most TV channels were saying at the time.

There's a very strong aversion towards anyone with different views on this subject. I'm not convinced its solely due to a lack of data. Low sample size studies have been around for a while, but the aversion on this is so much stro

From Wikipedia: “In the U.S., Verizon is using 28 GHz and AT&T is using 39 GHz. 5G can use frequencies of up to 300 GHz”[1]. That is high frequency relative to the frequencies of 4G, and WiFI or Bluetooth which are around 2-4 GHz.[2] No

I think most people tend to have an innate need for answers and don’t like having unknowns. The institutions used to fill that gap, but now it’s back since the institutions violated that trust. Educated people are still able to find other m

Could you share that information, if you don’t mind. I was trying to figure out if the radiation is safe but I couldn’t find anything on the effects of the high frequency signals.

Is there any reason to believe the dangers of the presumed misinformation being censored are actually significant? Is it killing more people than the Tide pod challenge for example? The article mentions taking vitamin C, and turmeric, but t

I think there is a big difference between content moderation (based on published and reasonably objective rules) and an outright ban on contradicting the stance of an organisation that is highly political. If this rule was implemented earli

It's not just Youtube, it's also Twitter[1] and Facebook[2]. When they all act in concert with each other, it's much harder to hold them accountable. I think censorship can be dangerous in this context so I'm working on

Law should be objectively decidable. Thousands upon thousands of pages of enigmatic legalistic nonsense make it impossible to predict a legal decision. When there is this much law, it becomes a paradox where the result is actually lawless -

It's not about the existing evidence it's about the lack thereof, and thus it must be considered as a possibility. To do otherwise is an extremely dangerous assumption. It's valid point and I don't see that as scaremonge

I have no problem with stating undisputed facts. The point is the claim about Trump is portrayed as undisputed, when it clearly is disputed. So if someone said "It is undeniable that the Earth is flat and anyone who supports the idea o

It seems the AirPods do this. It will delay the video so that it’s in sync. It might already be in the protocol.

I think these are done in bursts specifically to cause lag. Nobody would bother to buy 0.1 BTC in 100 separate orders at the same price. Often the orders are cancelled anyway.

It only depends on your definition, which will always end up being twisted for political purposes anyway. I would say a free market is one without coercion, and capitalism is when private property rights over the means of production are wel

The right to keep and bear arms is also similar. That right doesn't entitle you to free guns.
