What is the efficiency of the 4th shot vs a third shot after 5 months? What is the risk of a 4th shot? There is a reason we don't approve vaccines on an ad hoc basis in normal times. It's an emergency so you gotta take some risk

>Can you name a single person in America who has been held down against their will and administered a vaccine? You aren't arguing in good faith. "No, we aren't banning gay marriage, we just implemented a federal regulatio

None of the science of Covid is settled. It took over a year for scientific bodies to recognize it was an airborne virus. The medical field made a basic aerodynamics mistake for about 50 years that lead them astray. There is a ton we don&#

I would characterize the Amtrak support as ideologically motivated solutions in search of a problem. Other than the NE lines, Amtrak is a pet project.

Most areas of the world have more forest now than they did at the early 20th century. And fossil fuel extraction would be mostly spared from the nuclear attacks.

We don't need a subsidized government run bus line, the private ones work fine.

Especially since Amtrak (aside from the NE regional line) doesn't provide any service that Greyhound or Megabus don't already provide.

That’s because Ukraine operates s300 too. Neither side can operate high altitude flights.

This analysis is based on many unfounded assumptions like he knew that the guy founded Youth for Western Civilization or even what that was. I traveled in right wing circles on colleges campuses in 2006-2008 and I never hear of them until

The article doesn't establish Thiel knew the guy was a white nationalist. Guilt by association is weak by itself, but if the two just attended the same party unbeknownst to Thiel and then Thiel spammed a list-serve of attendees with &q

I'm skeptical they could even avoid liability in the first place. Products liability is hard to avoid.

I don't think there is any sort of scientific consensus that i) there is a point where its too warm for earth to be habitable for humans or ii) there is a massive feedback loop threshold.

At the store I worked at 15 years ago, any 4xxxxxxxxxx code would give you the loyalty program. No reason to authenticate, they'll give you the "discount" (hint its not really a discount) even if you just ask.

That mix was garbage even in 7.1. I had to add 10db to the center channel.

I'm far from an expert on climate. But my understanding when I looked into these issues ~8 years ago for a class, was that massive positive feedback loop stuff was not really accepted by the mainstream of scientists. Of course there a

As far as I understand it, it not a binary "we are fucked" / "we are unfucked" if you are talking globally, or even large nations like the US, EU, Russia, China, etc. It's a gradient. The more CO2, the warmer

One issue you should consider is that the government can exert soft power on these companies. The same people who regulate, pass laws, and appoint prosecutors who oversee litigation against big tech, also hold hearings and blame social medi

A high level Youtube spokes person defended the ban. It's not just bad AI.

I don't really want to defend Trump, who is proudly stupid and mean spirited. But at bottom, it was a question about whether it was feasible, not a suggestion. And "something like that" in his statement is not necessarily jus

It's not "mission accomplished." It's more like our withdraw from Afghanistan--admission of defeat. Omicron was like the Taliban taking Kabul in 2 weeks. We just lost to Covid--at least for now. Essentially everyone has

Out of curiosity, what the semi-reputable trackers that take cash? I know usenet indexers do it. The piracy community is an interesting place.

by rhino369 5y ago
You shouldn't look at anti-piracy measures as all-or-nothing. Skilled pirates don't pay. They are a lost cause. Most anti-piracy is just making sure the average person--who could probably figure out torrents, but hasn't done

There is also a feedback loop component. Tinnitus causes depression. And then you worry and focus on how awful it is, which makes the tinnitus worse. I only hear my tinnitus when I think about it. Otherwise my mind filters it out.

I didn't even realize I had tinnitus until I used noise-canceling headphones.

It's really not meant to be an independent test of learned material. It's meant to be an aptitude test.

A lot of that is just code words for racial, ethnic, and minority quotas. I get that it doesn't make sense to require every admitted at Harvard plays the Violin/Cello. But it's easy to discriminate against a minority--like A

To play devil's advocate, these tests are supposed to test aptitude to predict ability to learn--not test what you already know. They are more akin to an IQ test than a bar exam or medical board exams that test your knowledge. If just

The portion sizes usually factor in that you'll be ordering appetizers or multiple courses. But that jacks up the price a ton.

Yes. You'll have to shetler in place for several weeks until radiation recedes. Your economy will be ruined. And you'll have one hell of a refugee problem. But that is still a lot better than having all that plus your cities burne
