You don't have to necessarily short to express bearish beliefs, right? LEAP options seem like a great way to articulate your financial predictions without being exposed to excess risk, but idk anything.

What did your data related tasks imply?

What are the odds it gets shut down? I'm reluctant to get too excited until it's more certain (of course I'll wait to celebrate until it's reflected in my balance, but just knowing it's a relatively sure thing would

Awesome, the poster above said the detailed document should be available today. Hopefully it roughly matches what the media has been reporting. Is there a considerable chance this will be blocked or shut down?

Wow, awesome (for me personally anyway). I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see how this resolves. $20k isnt a lot to have, but it sure is a lot to _owe_.

Yeah its been described as a virtual lisp machine as well. I use emacs for everything personally, aside from Firefox (which I launch within emacs/exwm). Its hard to go back once you get used to consistent keybindings and commands acros

You can buy an alcohol still from Home Depot for $200.

I would say Org Mode does this too, but emacs is quite the interface..

Fiction books could likely be compressed the same way, but what's the fun in that? Non-fiction books shouldn't necassarily aim for being as concise as possible, there's value in a more enduring lecture even if the core conten

edit: Sorry for the rambling, I've just had too much gin, but this stuff has been bothering me lately. Agree across the board. Given that internet dialogue hugely influences our thoughts today, I think the importance of the tools, plat

You mean highlighting? It's still hard to read. And copying pasting is too much work. It all ends up being a form of censorship, for better or worse.

I didn't know that, thanks. It does still require following the link to view it plainly, which is a slight deterrent, but that's a lot more balanced than I initially thought.

Here on HN, downvoted comments become so hard to read I don't even bother. That's effectively censorship. On Reddit, they become automatically hidden and subject to removal. On YT, I'm not sure what happens, but it's pos

It's called music theory though? I agree it's a bad name, but that's what it's called..

Last I checked, it's unknown how much (if at all) the vaccine reduces spread.

by noobly 5y ago
What if there's long term effects from vaccination? Seems to me we won't know the full risk profile for several more years. I'm not at risk for COVID so it doesn't make sense to take on additional unknown risk in this ca

Was happy to see this transition both took place and lead to minimal fragmentation of communities. Seems like everyone just left wholesale. I guess if any community was going to do that it was going to be ex-Freenode users and idlers.

Thanks! Yeah it's all too easy to lump people into stubborn camps, especially on the internet, but I appreciate you not dismissing me. I like nature as much as the next guy, but I'm just naturally a bit skeptical and that can come

Given that the earth is constantly moving around the sun, probably? e.g, when the asteroid is really far away, like years, but still on track to hit the South Pole at some time, it could be viewable. But if the earth was stationary, then no

>Reducing infections of family members by 40-50% is a massive effect The point is that you're attributing this to vaccine effectiveness, when it may have been viral hygiene. The authors of the study did not attribute this reduction

>I think your hang up is that you think it's all based on climate simulations Yeah, models are known to fail and I was under the impression this contributes to consensus heavily. Thanks for the links, I'll read these tonight!

The problem is in laundering this money, i.e entering it into the legal system such that the IRS or whatever approves. You can't just deposit huge sums of unexplained money.

The key phrase in the question was 'beyond a reasonable doubt'. I'm not versed in atmospheric physics, so of course I can't present an educated counter arguement to the consensus, but it's complexity alone makes me

Yeah, that's true. And they have a large population to dilute the mean. I'm surprised we're so close to them in terms of total Co2 output too, I thought they dwarfed us given how much production takes place there coupled with

Well, to be fair, you can't see curvature with your own eyes like you can an asteroid, at least not feasibly/easily. Your ancestors lived in a world where thinking it was round was stupid..

> The difference is that an asteroid is an existential threat to humanity while climate change is just short of that. And you can see an asteroid heading straight for you, anyone skeptical could just get, or borrow, a scope. I don't

>That's a tired talking point. Well, I don't talk about this much so wouldn't know. From what I understand, atmospheric physics is extremely complicated, and it sounds like a _very_ hard problem to develop accurate models
