You can still measure: the immune response, antibodies, white blood cells, scenarios in which the contagion can spread, minimal social distance needed, length of exposure required for transmission, how much masks stop transmission, safety (

It seems to me that admin rights to the bitcoin core github repo count for a lot more than a 30% vote.

> My understanding is the mRNA based vaccines already aren’t as effective at long-term protection. Source? I've never seen anything that suggests that, and can't even think of a rationale why it would ever be true?

Hold your breath for 3 minutes. This should be doable, with sufficient willpower . Freedivers can go much much longer. You didn't succeed? Shame on you and your lack of willpower! Biological urges are powerful, don't be so quick

The controversy is in the language "started" vs. "run." Tezos, as an example, is governed by voting and on-chain governance. It isn't "run by a single entity." Ripple or Tether are, though, sure.

As someone who hasn't been watching closely for a while, any thoughts on which of those seem most interesting?

That's flatly untrue.

Tezos is up and running and working just fine.

That's a terrible analogy! Bitcoin is a runaway feedback loop where scarcity drives rising price, which drives increasing energy usage. The equilibrium it maintains is the natural profit equilibrium where it makes sense to spend enough

They almost all target the spike, including J&J and non-mrna vaccines. The vaccines all "work" against the variants in the sense of "no severe illness, and no deaths." So yes, you might "get" a variant, but

I don't think it will be clear that Pfizer is "more effective" until we see the two-dose J&J study come in. > J&J doesn't really need to be scaled up because they alone have the ability to produce so much of i

I love Derek's writing, but aren't we likely within a few weeks of non-RNA vaccines in the US via Johnson and Johnson, though? He didn't really answer--can that one be scaled since it has more standard dependencies? If so,

I'd like to be able to search for active and most active forks. I'd also like to code search fork commit additions. If someone fixed my issue in a new commit in fork somewhere, or already added the feature I need, I'd really

The open source from your list largely falls under #1. They didn't open source their primary product, but rather their complements. That is sustainable, whereas #2 is not when a permissive license is involved. Strategy #1 is self-inter

> and this is due to inheriting the values of key founders of the industry a generation or so ago. Is it? I think it has more to do with companies realizing that [1]commoditizing their complements is a sound strategy, and [2] using open

Is it possible a "DisLike" botnet would follow a similar pattern? Find a video, dislike for a while, find the next, repeat.

I appreciate your open-minded approach. In terms of turning gears, I find that a surprising amount of the time, the evil people (greedy bankers, landlords, unions, execs, VCs police) are caricatures held by outsiders who don't see the

Your ire is not necessarily directed at a personal preference to be a bad person, though. Attributing it to him "wanting to be evil" is easy, especially because he is abrasive. Due to the incentives above, it might be said we are

I find fault in your reasoning. Let me explain. This is a game theory problem with perverse incentives where regulation and law enforcement are needed. If CEO A (in this case Martin Shkreli) were to take the "moral high ground" an

Where can I find a source for that? I'm curious on the percent for women, also.

IANAL, but from what I understand, contract law is below criminal law priority-wise. If you knowingly were to provide meeting rooms for people plotting a coup or violence, I think you'd still be on the hook for something much greater t

Reasonable people don't defend violence in either case . You are you defending violence with whataboutism. And advocating for Machiavellianism. Gross.

I would think the opposite. What's the long-term effect on births when the dating world shuts down for 6-9 months? I'm not single though, so I do wonder how much it shut down and was affected by lockdowns?
