I'm not from US, so I really don't care what FDA says. If your doctor has information that some vaccine comes with big risks, sure, refusing that is scientific. But the case you present here is way different than what you said ear

Your previous question: "If I refused to take those vaccines for safety reasons when the FDA first approved them, would I be anti-science?" Your question now: "If I were to refuse to get one of the vaccines, based off initial

In this scenario, are you also refusing vaccines that do work? Or are you magically able to predict what the FDA will say in a few years? Both scenarios are anti-science.

by koonsolo 1y ago
With every shot comes risks. You have to calculate the risk vs the benefit. You also have risk when you don't take the vaccination obviously. Long story short: if you are anti-vax, you for sure are anti-science. We know a lot about vac

This became very clear to me after the pandemic, visiting Slovakia. Before the pandemic, I heard some weird things from older Slovaks, such as EU has decided that kids must name their parents "parent1" and "parent2", and

Funny how you provide a table where the top one says: SMALLPOX SMALLPOX ERADICATED Yeah, the smallpox vaccine was pulled from the market because it actually worked and eradicated smallpox. We almost got the same for polio, but unfortunately

You could split eating into meals and snacks. And for snacks, you can totally quit it. And according to my experience, it's the snacks that cause the extra weight. So quick snacking.

I'm pleasantly surprised by your answer, to be honest. For me, NATO needs to secure the left of the Dnipro river. This would free up manpower and material on Ukraines side, to fully focus on the front-lines. It would also send a clear

Well, Belgium stores their airplanes in hangars. It's great to protect them against the weather. You know what we don't do? Put tires on the wings. You know what else is great about hangars? It's a super cheap defense against

Can you explain why they have tires on the wings?

by koonsolo 1y ago
Other countries have hangars or bunkers to store their planes. That Russia doesn't, is really beyond comprehension.

Putin is the actual decision maker here, and he obviously has no problem killing thousands of people, including killing and mutilating kids. Maybe the average HN commenter would be more humane.

Yes, at least I'm honest about my position. "Not taking any position" in this war takes the position of the aggressor. All the pro-Kremlin positions are also claiming they want "peace".

> backed in to a corner Please tell me what would happen if Putin states "Job well done in Ukraine, all Nazi's are killed", and then withdraws his troops. NATO is going to invade Russia?

Oh please there are plenty of solutions, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb5_F4_Eod8 for example. Bullets that explode into pellets thanks to an internal radar, etc.

To be fair, these planes were out in the open, protected by tires on the wings. If they were in simple hangars, this operation would have already been way harder.

So you are in favor that Ukraine doesn't use offensive actions, lose the war, Russia takes Moldova next, maybe entire Georgia, and then tests NATO with the baltic states? It's a bit naive to think you should avoid escalation now t

It seems to me we're at the flat side of the curve again. I haven't seen much real progress in the last year. It's ignorant to think machines will not catch up to our intelligence at some point, but for now, it's clearly

I think you and your friends actually agree on the application of LLM's, and I agree with that too. So the question really comes down to what kind of project you are developing: Get an MVP fast? LLM is great! Proof of Concept? LLM rule

So to be fair, you made something you knew people wanted. This is not advertisement, but it is surely marketing. (Marketing starts before you built the product) Congrats on your success by the way!

Blender is great, I also use it. It's a nice example on how a non-developer tool is successful with open source. There are/were plenty of open source RPG makers, but they never gained any real traction. I considered open sourcing

Hey, developer of RPG Playground here, and I agree with you. My platform has moderate success (multiple games released each day), but to compete with RPG Maker means being 10x better. I was hoping to grab some of that market, but marketing
