But it is 0.1%. That's a fact. You keep saying things like "misunderstand", and straw manning people who think 0.1% is a relatively small proportion of the population as people who are claiming the virus is a hoax. It's

I mean Apple could. You can allow other payment options and still forbid apps that entirely don't function without them.

I find 65% an extremely low threshold for a "vast majority" personally.

This is already mostly the case for covid. We just tend to think of chickenpox as a mostly childrens disease to begin with.

As someone who believes the pandemic was real, that lockdowns early on were a good idea, that mask wearing is trivial and probably helpful, that social distancing was also easy to do and a reasonable idea, and that vaccinations are safe and

Perhaps a dumb question but why is offline stressed so much here? Nothing in the underlying tech seems to suggest one should expect it to not work offline?

I don't suppose the irony is lost upon you that you're using a stereotype of Asians to justify asserting that I'm racist. Consider a good faith interpretation in which I don't think anyone needs to good home because I di

Obviously its by not assuming someone is a CCP supporter unless they voice this opinion. I did not say anything to the effect of harm or violence against people who support the CCP. But I think a stronger level of national comfort discussin

I find that a bad faith interpretation of the following quote: > As a non-chinese, I'm also annoyed at the lack of differentiation between Asian and Chinese- and then further from Chinese descent vs. CCP supporter. But to further ex

And those assholes can fuck off. But are they really that numerous? Are they driving the cultural narrative? I think no, and in the areas where this is the case, I think it's probably more of a white vs. not white thing which is a whol

> You don't have to like the CCP to enjoy China and respect its people. This is the crux of it though. You don't need to like the CCP to enjoy China and its people. But you don't need to dislike China and its people in or

The problem with Nguyen is that while among white people, it's an uncommon name, among other populations it's INCREDIBLY COMMON, which isn't common knowledge. I think this a pretty negligible example though. Nowhere near as e

It depends on definitions. Hate crimes against asians are increasing. They're still relatively rare. Are more people becoming anti-asian? Or are the usual suspects just being more vocal in the last gasps of trumpism? Are we able to di

Of course, but there needs to be a way to say, for example, Russia is a hostile state without being seen as prejudiced against people of Russian descent. If someone says anti-asian ideals are on the rise, I think it's important to unpa

This is just spitballing, but I would think the number of hate crime committers is far more important than the number of potential hate crime victims. There's likely to be far more potential victims than actual victims in any given loc

>As another non-Chinese Asian, really? You don’t want to be lumped in with the Chinese so it’s easier to know who the “bad ones” are? > I hate this rhetoric. Whenever a hate crime occurs, it’s so common to hear “they didn’t deserve th

HMart's great. Good food court with a variety of cusines. Nice prepackaged take home food. Tons of free samples pre-covid. Huge section of dumplings. Lots of niche asian things you have trouble finding elsewhere, like dashi and what no

I think I agree. The problem with a traditional TCG is that there's a small set of cards. One could imagine a really cool NFT based game with only unique cards, and permadeath rules that cause you to actually lose the card when used or

That's only sad if all they did was make a product and not share it with others. They also rejected a competitor access to their monopoly on the service. It's supposed to sting. Otherwise they would just do this shit all the time.

As a kid, nobody had a clue how to play the game properly. But the pokemon tcg video game forced you to play it properly, and was pretty fun. Digital formats have appeal.

You either believe its priced in and don't care, or you believe its not priced in and shouldn't be holding it for that reason. If you're not thinking at the level of second order changes in a company's trajectory you&#x

It is possible, but I think, unlikely to be nearly as important as change in diets. The poor are much fatter than the wealthy. Do we really think its because they're exposed to more hormone disruptors? Or is it a terrible diet because

I wonder how it looks for the subset of the US that generally isn't fat, affected by opiods, or unable to get basic healthcare. Obviously it'll be higher, but is it still growing or has it also stalled?

When discussing short term changes, it's logical to compare to short term pasts.
