I believe this is both true and irrelevant. The claim is that conspiracies will be birthed, not that the vaccine is actually dangerous.

As anecdotes like this inevitably pile up, we're going to really regret all the "long Covid" coverage.

Again, zero evidence of this is provided. I won't be surprised if Covid ends up being slightly more or slightly less correlated with post-infection issues, but we have seen no credible evidence of this at all, much less evidence that w

I'm responding to the conclusion that Covid will turn you into a "mentally challenged cripple." There is no evidence for that.

There are millions of survivors of Covid, so every conceivable bad health outcome will be present in that population.

Of course we know that respiratory infections can cause long-term effects. That is almost certainly true also of covid. What is not shown at all is that it turns you into a “mentally challenged cripple.”

I often wonder how many people actually believe things like this, versus are willing to say them loudly in the hopes that they'll make others take the virus more seriously. Because none of this is remotely evidence-based.

If for you life before and after Uber/Airbnb are the same except with different middlemen taking a cut, we live in such different realities I'm not sure how we'd ever have a productive conversation. Airbnb has made a huge dif

There's definitely been negativity around forever (infamously, the Dropbox announcement post), but it subjectively feels worse now. Not sure if that's real or just nostalgia. Regardless, it's still disheartening. There's

No, they do compete with WhatsApp, on the basis of those points of differentiation.

Depends on where you live. Some states don't have VAT ("sales tax" in the US), others do, still others have higher sales tax depending on the city you're in.

Other people have noted that your `style` example isn't responsive, but on top of that, there's nothing stopping you (or a collaborator) from writing `style="width:26px;"` somewhere else in the app. Having a restricted s

iPhones and iPads also have relatively small amounts of RAM compared to Android devices in the same class, so I wonder if Apple is doing something smart with offloading memory to fast SSD storage in a way that isn't noticeable to the u

Trying to shoehorn in Theranos does not preclude covering WeWork, so I'm not sure how you read my comment to imply that it did.

by jdminhbg 6y ago
If it works equally well for Uber or Lyft or WeWork, then trying to shoehorn Theranos in since it's a spectacular fraud that doesn't really fit the definition was a bad decision. That's rarely a sign of a piece that makes a s

If you write an article titled "Electricians Are Turning Homes Into Firetraps" and then cite the fact that I improperly swapped out an outlet in my home as evidence that I'm an electrician, you should expect pushback.

Evans is distinguishing between people who are full-time VCs, and anyone who has ever written a check to a business that doesn't have revenue yet.
