Over what time period? It seems pretty clear that covid is not going anywhere. Eventually almost everyone will get it. The only real question is do you want to be vaccinated when that happens to you. The answer is a no- brainer no matter ho

Yes. According to this same study covid-19 has a 4x higher incidence of myocarditis than the "worst" of the mRNA vaccines. So the smart bet is still get the vaccine. That's not even accounting for all the other effects of a c

Keep in mind the covid-19 has a myocarditis rate of 1 in 25000 according to this same study. 4x higher than with the second dose of an mRNA vaccine. On the basis of that alone, you're better off taking your chances on the vaccine - and

Agreed. I found out about this early perhaps due to my South African family who sent me this doctors analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2vI4XczqZ8 It could be excellent news. It sounds more virulent than delta, so s

They became aware of the issue after a couple months after the second dose. The trouble with anecdotal evidence like this is there's no way to know if that was caused by the vaccine or would have happened anyway. Other people have repo

I think because it's not practical yet. I'm not sure if it ever would be, but if SpaceX gets starship right it brings us one big step closer to that. Also I think most people would prefer to remain on Earth. But moving some kinds

My parents both reported consistent elevated blood sugar levels after getting the Pfizer vaccine. Not sure if it was related or just coincidence, but there seem numerous reports of the same online. It should be temporary though.

A very cheap and easily implemented idea to help with climate change. That could be done in huge swaths of the world where a lot of people currently live. It probably needs some government help to stir people into action or make them aware

Or pay more to the competition? Nobody is on par with SpaceX right now.

But quite economical at starship prices per ton. I feel like this option is not seriously considered enough.

It's becoming increasingly clear that the "it's transitory" narrative is dead wrong. But now all the policy makers are committed to the lie. I fear this will make any reaction much slower and weaker than it otherwise mig

Rents are obviously a lagging measure as they're typically only increased once per year (and by a regulated amount in some markets.) We're in for a world of hurt in terms of housing and rent over the next couple years.

I can also argue increased demand for solar panels increases manufacturing and lowers prices over time making solar more competitive. It's not clear that it's a net negative. This has been the effect we saw when Germany started in

They had to backtrack and place severe restrictions on what activities were allowed and also restrict activities of the unvaccinated. There were hospitals transfering patients out of province, as well as surgeries cancelled - which is a big

There are lots of JIT compilers out there, I don't know if any that would detect the divisor is a constant at runtime and specialize code for that. I think it's almost never done. In real life JIT compilation can't take long

I agree with you about the focus on cases instead of hospitalizations. However, even in places with high levels of vaccination, so far cases does translate into stressing hospitals to the edge, followed by lockdown and other restrictions. S

That's only true if the miners didn't buy the solar panels themselves.

This kind of scam is enabled by the way Youtube, Facebook, and others offer no way to contact an actual human for help (or if you find a way, you get a useless canned response.) People who realize something is wrong have no forum to air the

It sounds like one would have to code very defensively to make that work safely.

That's what's going on right now. China is building ships at rates unprecedented since after WWII. It's concerning. My feeling is they have a window of a decade or two during which they can make a grab for Taiwan. After which

It depends on the location and if it's combined with other things. An unmonitored wall would add little by itself. In some places there already exist walls and they do help.

You might say Brexit is a self inflicted wound, but it was sparked by that refugee crises. You're right that proper border security doesn't solve the humanitarian and logistical crises. But I don't think that's a good ar

What's the alternative, give up on border control? How fair is it that people from India wait 20 years for a green card for following the rules while others just walk across illegally? I don't understand the seeming position by so

One need look no further than the recent refugee crises in Europe to see what could easily result without strong border security. We are talking of a future where that level of mass migration will seem like small potatoes. A wall being mere

That helps, no question. But the causality is the wrong way around. Norway had that fund in the first place because they are a sensible country that made good decisions. Their government clearly functions at a level the US today can only dr

The more I hear about Norway the more it seems to be a country that really has its act together.
