I don't get this take but that's because I am not from the US I suppose. Here, politicians and virologists have publically explained immunity in multiple layers. Antibodies as first line of defense to intercept viruses and keep th

Just one more point as food for thought: One more thing to consider is that the virus is also able to cause myocarditis, especially if you don't rest long enough even if feeling fine . In fact, the virus can potentially cause additi

There is a difference between releasing the next Instagram UI update and doing the same to a car. A big part of safe driving is the familiarization of yourself with the vehicle. Who wants to relearn their car interface every 3 months? Who n

If you don't know 100% what you're doing in crypto you're less crypto-fit and your branch is prone to pruning from the crypto 'tree of life'.

The incentive of any crypto/web3 app is short-term greed and not building a trustworthy system.

I think learning is subjective. The NodeJS world is learning a lot about backend development I guess. So, disclaimer, I am new to Typescript-NodeJS and the npm world but have a significant background in the JVM / Spring backend world w

Incredible, thank you for the live example of this mindset. This is the epitome of survivorship bias. The Moderna vaccine could have just as well made a lot of people very very sick. There are countless examples of problematic medicines and

The hostility towards FDA on HN is incredible. I wouldn't trust some VC funded startup bros with anything related to medicine at all without having passed every single regulatory board tangentially related to whatever they are doing,

It's not about ethical, it's about severe disruptions to ecosystems with unknown consequences. We know very little and are not capable of playing God without paying the price for it.

So this is just an observation and not a judgment. With only 4 years of professional experience I have never worked on a MongoDB project in which MongoDB somehow wasn't an issue. The proposed solutions merely being "improve the in

A relative of mine with the background to have an opinion on it once told me about how companies were vaporizing millions and billions of dollars for not properly cooperating with regulators and it was just baffling to them.

I didn’t claim any of that at all with my five word sentence. But I would certainly claim that vaccines and masks are doing more than zero to help, the studies and science are openly accessible. Even if vaccines and masks just helped stop

? What is your control group for claiming that masks don’t work? Florida?

It’s still useful if it is “only” 25x better or even just 4x.

I think this is more nuanced. In the beginning, testing was very sparse and unavailable so it's hard to blame anyone for just looking at the obvious infections. It took a while until we even understood that the majority of cases are as

Another point on top of yours, at least in the EU, was that there was a plain shortage of masks and every single functioning FFP2+ mask was needed for hospitals and ICUs. I have often observed discussion on how this might have been a conven

I'd be curious if such a GAN could actually beat Oda at generating new One Piece characters. 20 years into it he just doesn't seem to stop at creating hilarious characters.

Yep, Google just blatantly copied Sonos engineering like some Chinese scammer and expects to get away with it.

Uhh it factually causes hospital and ICU intervention in 15% of the cases. Maybe with Omicron we get a bit luckier but that’s just chance and not predictable evolution. It’s not just a cold. You’re quite obviously not a virologist or epidem

How is it so hard for you people to understand that we shut down society because the health system is stressed at unforeseen levels? I mean just ask your fellow emergency workers how their life is right now.

That might be because they still believe every single problem on Earth is solvable by technology - their technology in the optimal case.

This is my hope as well but I have already heard the backlash: it's pharma companies trying to control our food. Increasingly, I feel afraid of the lunatics trying to hinder progress like some 14th century catholics. Progress to me mea

Since this is so broadly spread among species I wonder if there are other forms of laughing that aren’t easily detected if you don’t know about it. Does some form of muscle spasms occur in all of these animals? Closely watching my cat now.
