It's hard to take some of these arguments seriously when one of the core arguments: > In people who are previously infected vaccines offer zero additional benefit with respect to hospitalization is so fatally flawed. The reason tha

Conceptually, I agree with you - but the reality is that many of the skilled jobs you describe take a long time to get trained. Power line technician is a 4 year apprenticeship.

I posted a similar comment, but it's not the same - AZ uses a modified non-Covid virus that has been engineered to model the spike protein. I'm not sure why that spike protein is different than the MRNA, other than being attached

I'm confused by this - the AZ vaccine also expresses the spike protein, just in a different delivery mechanism, right? That was my understanding when I got the AZ vaccine in a trial.

This is an excellent amount of statements lacking either facts or data. I’m also curious why: > Soros-funded Is even relevant? You mentioned it twice as though it changes any elements of your argument.

This is just a bunch of talking points. When you look at the facts, we can see: Union Pacific has its own police force, and just cut the number of their own police officers from 60 to 8 along that route: https://www.lataco.com&#

“ Over the next decade, give or take a few years, every single person on earth has a date with this virus. We will all be exposed, and the virus might replicate in some of our respiratory mucosa.” Exposed, not infected, though even if they

Increasing vaccination in the population overall reduces the velocity of spread and reduces the likelihood that an immunocompromised person will have the opportunity to have one of those long-term infections that create variants. It also gi

The cost-benefit of vaccination doesn’t always favor vaccination, which is why we mandate the polio vaccine but not the dengue fever vaccine, because the latter comes with attendant risks relative to the potential benefit. As far as the evo

Sorry, sure, yes - for ~5 years, this has been true. 2017 was before my time, and I have no idea what was happening then. > And Google still processes the content of your emails, no? Are all of those smart features like identifying fligh

This is the second time I've posted a comment on a similar article [1], so I'll try to make this one a little different. First, there's a lot of genuine pain that restaurants are feeling that's not their fault. But I w

It happens more than you think, in many cases it’s easier to just sweep under the rug and move on. Few VCs want to admit they were swindled, and even fewer want the industry perception that they get founders investigated for fraud when thi

I missed this earlier - as always, it’s hard to convey nuance in a HN comment, so of course there are non-technical people who are successful at building Wordpress sites. I’m not a mechanic, but I can fix things on my car, because I’m reas

I think this is a relatively recent shift - anecdotally I've heard that meta is getting a lot more aggressive comp-wise, especially at the more senior levels (E7+/L7+). I'm not saying there might not be other companies payin

FWIW, I realize that Google generally does not have a good perception around privacy, especially here, but I do want to highlight that Workspace is an entirely different creature. Because Workspace is a paid enterprise product, and Google

There are indeed always more people coming into jail, and people going out. The big difference now is that there were many crimes for which the DA office might ask for significant bail that they now cannot. This matters because bail was a

It depends on the lens through which you want to view the addressable market for adoption. For sure, Wordpress has deservedly captured a huge part of the current market for CMS-powered websites. It's very powerful, it's performa

by mattzito 5y ago
Yeah, in an attempt to be concise, some nuance was lost - I think Wordpress as a pure editor, as a real CMS, when set up properly and/or using an OOTB template is perfectly fine. The post editor is good, you have all the basic formatt

There is always value in having a store of data that is unique or differentiated in some way. The trick is figuring out what that is and who might be interested. For a while I ran product for a social monitoring company and our traditional
