This whole things sounds like a young, interesting, smart, and PR-hyped CEO, chosen by a group of activist investors and run by an activist board. This one is just a big one. There are tons of little ones, with talented but naive young peop

I can't be the only one who's not hot on crypto. Do we really want a world where even the simplest transaction is permanently recorded publicly and cryptographically sealed? The governments will just mandate custodial wallets and

Absolutely. They may indeed have had pressure from the banks, but this is a solvable problem. They're servicing pornhub. If this is just about KYC, they can roll out or use one of the myriad identity verification services.

It's sort of obviously true that when something makes it harder to make mistakes, it's safer. But there's only so much a tool can do. It's not hard to use if you understand asymmetric cryptography, but if you don't,

In this scenario, you're seeking a job for which a clearance is a prerequisite. In this world, people with jobs are being fired for not getting vaccinated. It's not a small cohort either; it's the government and giant corpora

AZ isn't available in the United States. OK, fine, it's not just mRNA. It's novel tech vs. well known tech like attenuated/inactivated virus. Beyond that, Covaxin is the only that I'm aware of that is performing wel

The US needs it if they want people who are spooked my mRNA tech to get vaccinated. They also need it if they want a vaccine that is the mostly likely to be safe for use in children.

It will likely be a medical separation.

Now do Covaxin. Seriously: what's the hold-up? Why is the US still blocking this vaccine?

The government is not compelling you to get covid.

You just need to account for jurisdictional apportionment. Only the fed can print money. How does that get allocated? Sales tax and property taxes, which presumably would continue to exist in under this scheme, would do some I suppose. Woul

I think your assessment of fact is mostly reasonable, but claiming that Google has no power to censor him is a stretch. Google is a primary driver of information discovery, and this is an act not just of inhibiting discovery but one of maki

I agree, but it's too late for the process to work to be protective of the population from a drug defect. If FDA finds that there is a critical issue, that's good to know, but what do we do now?

I think it's more of the limitation of liability at this point. Whether or not any central authority endorsed it is moot when 100 million doses have been given. The big problem for me is in making light of the process that, perfect or

The problem is also that there is political pressure to approve it. That sucks. Whatever time it takes to go through the process is the time it takes. Pushing it through is only going to do two things: 1) show that the process is political

What is the plan for undocumented workers? Especially in restaurants. Even if they managed to get vaccinated by providing valid "proof of age" documentation[1], they will not appear in the registries. And if anyone was skeptical a

There are plenty that do this. Some do this exclusively, like the New Beverly Cinema. I suppose you're suggesting that the national brands should offer this rather than specialty houses. That could be pretty cool, but they need to step

He didn't just say "fuck it I'm rich later" but I don't know why anyone would hold it against him if he had. He started a business and does a job that he manage in a healthy way. This is good.
