Yep, cherry picking is the fallacy here for those interested.

Why? It’s not like shareholders are the ones doing the work inside the company.

Cue someone replying that they only flagged and downvoted it because it was lol so ironic.

It has to do with your argument being a bad argument. > Only 10 in 200,000 died from a vaccine This doesn't negate the fact that vaccines can be dangerous. This just happens to be the number for that particular vaccine. > 10 in 2

The current mRNA vaccines for coronavirus do throw a wrench in the gears of how cells work.

The question is what criteria would you want a measure to have for it to be called a good measure. You are arguing that if it empirically works for most people, then it’s a good measure. I’m saying that a good measure should in principle

Hundreds of thousands of autonomous drone killbots the size of bats flying around do get my pulse up.

True, I started weightlifting for three months and my BMI went into overweight territory. I had an athletic build both before and after. Probably good for a lot of people but weightlifting really puts it into question. It's not like we

The first dose is already 50% effective, so you are not back to square one. The second dose also doesn't necessarily need to arrive precisely on time.

Wasn't this debunked a long time ago as being just residential apartments? They're just making wild guess based on satellite imagery. Also, > This project was supported by the Open Technology Fund, the Pulitzer Center, and the

For loops, while loops, and recursion are all induction. Functional programming is just a style of programming, as in, algorithms which are designed and proven using induction can be implemented in imperative or functional styles.

People talk about how a startup being successful is 90% luck and you want OP to walk away from a successful startup and try again.

For some perspective, I’m pretty sure there are a lot of non-Americans reading this thread amazed at just how comical current US thinking around healthcare has become.

You don't really need anyone else screwing over the hospital to have for-profit hospitals be incentivized to screw the patient by jacking up prices on demand inelastic goods. Not to even mention that many times the patient chooses thes

Thanks for explaining it better. Yeah, within is better wording. And having specific numbers other than 10 for order of magnitude is pretty funny.

by newen 6y ago
Give me a break, this is not a math lecture. Less than 10x means the same magnitude is good enough for forum posting. The underlying message that some restaurants might plausibly put 6x the MSG of the standard dose comes across just fine an

by newen 6y ago
Interesting. Six times is in the same order of magnitude, so it’s entirely plausible that a significant number of people would be affect by MSG with its normal dose. And it’s entirely plausible that some restaurants would put six times the

And they removed it as a valid mental diagnosis because it has sexist connotations? I doubt it though considering current political climate, I wouldn’t be surprised. His point still stands, however.

People usually commit suicide because they see no way out, not because of frustration or humiliation.

Coming back as staff really is a big loss in status and prestige. It's fun to lament the terrible and stupid feature of status distinction but it's very real in terms of socializing, how people see you, how you see yourself, the r

From the first link's abstract: > Phytoestrogens were detected in all foods analyzed; bread contained the highest amount of phytoestrogens-many as isoflavones-with an average content of 375 +/- 67 microg/100 g wet weight

If these companies could make an electric car that looks remotely good looking, I'd have hope for them (only a matter of time, really).

Or...you had a bunch of bored people who found a hilarious way to mess with a semi-popular bot. You don't need to put some weird pseudo-psych spin on every little thing.

This is like saying both water and botulinum are technically toxins, so it’s okay to drink liters of botulinum a day. What matters is the quantity of phytoestrogens in foods, and soy products happens to have significantly higher phytoestrog

Give me a break...that's obviously your opinion. First of all, the disease doesn't care about your political opinion; it will spread in protests whether you are a crusader or an infidel. So it doesn't matter what you are prot
