Getting back to life with COVID with the appropriate amount of precautions and restrictions has benefits. Current hysteria and alarmism shows we are not there yet.

Nice flamebaiting, keep it up and you'll soon be banned from HN which would be a net positive.

I freely and humbly admit I'm neither an immunologist nor a virologist. But I doubt neither are you nor the many commenters on here who have strongly held beliefs backed by nothing substantive.

The number of studies suggesting people exposed to other coronaviruses (common cold etc) having possibly more immunity to COVID disagree with you. You seem to be absolutely sure it makes no difference. Care to back that up?

Fully agreed, requires having a vaccine first though. I just didn't fully agree with GP's goal of never ever falling sick ever.

Sure, for diseases we know and are actively fighting (how long was it before we got vaccines for COVID?). My point was that for unknown diseases you might be exposed to in the future you are probably (I say probably, because hey let's

Mostly agree, but have you considered that perhaps falling sick once in a while allows your immune system to adapt and become more stronger? I mean vaccines have been around for all of 100-200 years...

> I.e. there is a version of COVID where we have tamed its lethality to the point where it's a shadow of its former self. We have that today.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, I thought this was common knowledge.

This is the Nick Sandmann saga all over again. A couple of years later we will hear of these outlets quietly settling various lawsuits with Rittenhouse. But hey at that point the outrage machine has moved on to something else, they have mad

You say "free choice" like companies are just throwing out job offers for free. They do not and you can find tons of posts on here complaining about how the interview process sucks, does not measure true capability etc, etc. Many

I'm sorry to break your fantasy, but FB is nowhere close to dying like IBM by pretty much any metric you can choose (apart from perception by random folks on the internet which frankly does not count for much).

Exactly this. It is fascinating to see this bubble on HN, when on the outside I know there are tons of friends and acquaintances who are happy to get a call from recruiters, happy to land a job and happy to work there.

Having driven a Polestar 2 (by Volvo) and a tesla I have to agree. The Polestar was miles (heh) ahead in terms of build quality, interior and polish. The only reason I did not buy the Polestar outright is their still low range. I see that g

I don't know about doing yoga, but when you have some studios promoting "goat" yoga or "beer" yoga or heaven knows what the latest abomination is, maybe he does have a point on the second one.

> My fear is that a lot of people won't bother with a vax if they think there's a 'cure'. Interesting. Indeed, should people bother with a vax if there's a highly effective cure? Is it worth all the teeth-gnashin

Treasury rules? No redeeming for 1 year, and redeeming before 5 years means you lose the last 3 months of interest. You can gift them to other people though.

But the rate is only for 6 months and limited to $10000 per SSN per year, which does not make it terribly useful.

Maybe the same huge payloads will enable astronomers to go to space to do their studies for months at a time? Seems like a win if that does happen.

Not just unrelated but also unsubstantiated to score cheap internet points. Keep that to Reddit please.

Wow very interesting. Curious if you have any source?

Agree with most of those, but I think herbal medicine may have some merits and should not be flat out banned. I mean tons of modern day medicine is plant derived...

You characterize it as a publicity stunt which is a dismissive way to put it, and then go on to say since in your opinion it was a publicity stunt none of what he says really matters. Not sure I agree with that.

This is false: they have vendors come onsite to give haircuts, but employees still pay for it. Had to point this out, since you jump from one false statement to a completely absurd conclusion.

I wonder how much of this is just memeing by the r/WSB crowd vs a lot of people really wanting an alternative to FB, Twitter etc (regardless of the merits of that wish).

Yeah agreed, that Twitter thread is weird. Sinclair promoting his company does seem like a conflict of interest as far as his tweets are concerned, but the claims in this Twitter thread were equally all over the place.
