As far as I know it's rare for vaccines to actually prevent transmission for viruses. This is why quite a few vets were extremely cautious about the covid vaccine. I think we got lucky that it didn't turn into a marek situation wi

Hm, at first I thought you were being unnecessarily dramatic, but vaccines have caused huge problems in chickens, where an unvaccinated chicken is now almost guaranteed to die. You could easily create a similar situation. https:/&#x2F

I hope the is emphasizes that just because your spouse is nice to you 9/10 times, because of that 1/10 times they argue with you you should give up all loyalty and good will towards them. After that one argument, all trust is lost

Something went wrong in the US after 911. I don’t think it’s just the government. The entire capitalist machine realised just how profitable fear can be, and that’s been one of the big marketing angles in the 2000s. Especially in media, but

I wonder if you’d have an issue with it if these organisations leaned mostly republican. When this last happened in the 1960s and 70s, when it was the left that was anti establishment, and didn’t want the Vietnam war, or didn’t want Christi

Another solution is for the fed to stop pumping the stock market for the last 14 years like crazy and offering free money to the finance sector. Frankly blaming actual entrepreneurs and business owners for the gains in the stock market is s

This is just not how it works on the psychological level. Mathematically yes, but we are not machines. Someone with a net worth of $1bn is not going to brazenly bet $500m because hey, who cares it’s only half my net worth. That’s ridiculous

It also ignores another big factor if psychology, humans are a lot more afraid of losing what they have than gaining anything. So even in this stupid simulation, it just doesn’t work, as people get wealthier they actually risk less. This wh

I think what you are talking about are what a few hundred years ago you called prophets. Some people can pass on wisdom but it’s a very rare skill, and followers can often exhibit the cult like behaviour that’s so repulsive to others. Proba

I don't think you can build tesla and spacex without being a no-man in certain fields. It's just that Elon got bored, and he entered a new realm of a social network product, not an engineering product, and he's finding out qu

> But aren’t they just flagging Tweets as potential violations of TOS? How benevolent of the fbi to be making sure twitters users are compliant with twitters TOS! What a nice federal agency, making twitters moderation so much easier!

Completely blocking the spread of a news story that could have a major effect on an election is not moderation. Moderation is about moderating bad behaviour of individuals. Censorship is blocking entire topics from discussion. If you think

I love it here. The guy who is building the worlds most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile and military delivery system, should not be upset about his real time location being public. Like what world are people living in here? It’s

1. We don't have any information yet, whether this was an automated ban, or something else. Due to the high profile I imagine we will find out soon, so all the hysteria in this thread is a bit premature 2. Ironically, what this account

No idea why you are getting downvoted. It’s a completely legit point. TikTok is actually now run by an ex xaomi exec and party member. Do people really think they don’t put their fingers on the scale? I guess the same people believed Twitte

Your entire comment is about what companies “could” do instead, implying that’s somehow a viable alternative. It’s not. Whether it’s right or not is a different question, which is exactly what I am debating from both sides in my original co

Your comment shows you have no experience with the power of targeted ads and how it’s an order of magnitude better than “targeting venues with audiences”. Which is why you’re getting downvoted in case you’re interested

What's a bit sad about this is that legislation like this is actually going to benefit the largest corporations (as usual). If you want to sell detergent or coca cola, you can advertise to everyone, because anyone can buy your product.

When we reach 10bn people, we will already have almost no children. This is what most people don’t get. The slowdown is already here. Birth rates are still collapsing. But people worldwide are living longer so the actual number of people is

It’s your decision, but not having children because of your comfort is like saying you won’t ride an amazing wave as a surfer because it’s hard and dangerous. Yep, it is. But when you ride that wave it will be the most amazing experience of

The trouble is, the numbers just don’t support your hypothesis. Birth rates are falling in almost every country on the planet, however poor they are, however rich they are, however large student loans are. This just isn’t the root of the is

What are you even on about in terms of this discussion? Are you saying the metoo movement was about physical aggressive rape of women? Because it’s not. It’s about those in power exploiting their power for sex. And how is that done? Mostly

There are maybe 1-2 reports of Weinstein using actual force for rape. For the other 2000 or more women, it was exactly what you say, he asked, and they had to say yes (to get anywhere)

People forget this is actually what Singapore did. Before being a biotech and tech powerhouse, they were an assembly factory for western companies. Then they slowly expanded from that to airport, tech, airline, etc. They have a geographic a
