No, I think that is only true if you cling to naïve assumptions about what free will is. The fact that we do things for reasons (deterministic!) is precisely what gives our actions meaning. If we only did things because of a roll of the dic

> If there is no free will, there is no point in having a conversation. That doesn’t follow logically. Honestly I’m trying think of what more to write about that, but it seems like a total non-sequitur. People post on HN for lots of reas

Very important to address these cases though, since it is believed that this is the source of the new variants that we are seeing now. Patients infected for months on end provide an ideal darwinian environment for the emergence of immune-es

It'd kill us. There are vital parts of our genome that come from such viruses. The placenta, for example, forms its host-compatible interface layer with the mother's uterus using a virus-derived protein. So it is believed that all

I don't think coronavirus hides itself in the same way? The long-lived herpes DNA folds itself up compactly inside the nerve cells, which is very unique capability specific to that type of virus. Attacking these dormant genes requires

Most of the civilized world has gotten rid of the death penalty, even in murder cases. Even those that still do have capital punishment generally do NOT apply it to manslaughter cases. Your jump from manslaughter to murder is not legally j

It appears that J&J does, and there is reason to be optimistic the Pfeizer and Moderna vaccines do, although the data isn’t in yet.

Again, I read an ancient edition which predated the existence of consumer GPUs. But the edition I read was more than half on the topic of 2D graphics and what you might consider to be mundane things like font rasterization. You might think

Way back in the day I read either the 1st or 2nd edition of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Graphics-Principles-Practice... It's a classic in the computer graphics field, like Knuth is for algorithms. I&#x27

FYI Richard Muller has a terrible track record for this stuff. I distinctly recall listening to his lectures from almost a decade ago and he had a whole lesson on how the concept of an electric car was physically impossible, and Tesla wo

Do you have an understanding of the underlying physics? I’d start there. The questions you ask become rather trivial to answer with minimal data when you know the processes involved.

If they are letting you trade with instant credit, then under the hood there ARE margin loans going on. To be compliant with SEC regulations the broker must be pulling on short term margin loans from a bank to cover the securities being bou

It’s not just on-boarding. People expect to make a transfer from their bank account and have insta-credit to their RH tradable cash balance. This is a core feature of their app.

The point is you are technically margin-trading when you do that. From the broker's perspective you are trading on margin until your prior trades settle.
