It's always bewildering that someone defending Biden always has to bring up Trump. > Eastern European NATO members are concerned they could be next could be next...what? Do you recall what happened in 2008 with Georgia? This is lite

We sent warships to practice military war games right off Russia's coast in the black sea. We instructed embassy family in Ukraine to head back to the state to prep for a Russian invasion. How many times has Biden either directly attac

It's worrying when an unpopular president starts banging the war drums. I always have this fear that there is immense incentive to create conflict since wartime presidents are always reelected in the US.

An economic source that the black market is alive and healthy? I'm not sure what you're asking for to be honest - I don't think anyone contests the fact that the black market has been growing for a very long time.

by toolz 5y ago
These claims, while they might have some or even a lot of merit are demonstrably false (as they are made seemingly without exception or nuance). There is a very healthy and active black market, for example among plenty of other examples. It

okay so if faulty flashing is the problem, how does flashing two parts of the device make flashing better?

As stated before, moving the risk somewhere else does not eliminate it.

What do you mean? Developing a chip with contained firmware isn't free or equivalent to software definitions, if that feature was necessary you may not even yet be in a position where you have a pinephone the even flash a new OS onto.

10% was 7 years ago in 2015 and 36% isn't the only estimate, there's another one for 44% at the same time IIRC > It's highly unlikely that extreme poverty reduction is caused by the spread of internet. what do you suggest

A user has to go out of their way to flash an OS too, I'm not sure I buy the argument that open architecture is going to surprise people who also know how to flash an OS to a very new and unsupported device. No one is trivially flashin

Sure, since the invention of the internet extreme poverty has gone from 30-40% of the world to probably around 5% and there's a very strong trend increase as internet became more available. Freedom indexes showing things like research

How is a user flashable chip any different than shipping it preconfigured to be safe in software? The idea that there's more safety with physical separation but the same level of configurability seems incorrect at a glance. People will

Being able to communicate in real time anywhere in the world would seem to me, to be a force multiplier far greater than any other previous invention. Further, access to the internet surely has spread the world faster than any other tech. W

I find it interesting how opposite my view is of yours. I see earth as flourishing with 100k+ people lifting themselves out of extreme poverty, daily, for the last 25 years. I see violence on the decline for decades. I see new discovery ha

Convicted criminals that are suing claimed to have suffered side effects, this doesn't show anything in my opinion. Most of all I never claimed ivermectin has no side effects, just that the studies show it does no harm. You can drink w

did you mean to link something different? That link doesn't show ivermectin hurting anyone...

Maybe you're saying my claim is exaggerated? Which I agree my wording wasn't precise. With antigen tests you'll have far more false negatives early on than later. The sweet spot seems to be a couple of days after symptoms. I

by toolz 5y ago
I understand your point, but I assumed someone on house arrest wasn't someones child and is probably in a position to avoid contact with people with any symptoms no matter the illness.

here's a good read on the details for anyone wanting a nerdy amount of details for antigen testing https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/antigen-tests...

by toolz 5y ago
these tests are antigen tests, correct? If so he'll know he's sick no matter what as antigen tests aren't going to show covid until a couple days after symptoms start (typically).

by toolz 5y ago
I don't think that's a troll question, but I could imagine a situation where you're a high risk demographic you'd want to know early so you can get early treatment like monoclonal antibodies, paxlovid or ivermectin.

if you think I'm being disingenuous then you weren't paying attention during china's first lockdown.

China hasn't eliminated covid in human or animals. No one has.

You act like people are unable to access arguments from both sides and make their own educated decisions. Take me, for example. I consider it unethical for me to take the vaccine as I've had covid twice (the second time was a very mild

Plenty of studies suggest natural immunity is more robust, so yeah different probability in favor of natural immunity.

Nationwide staffed beds are down 6-7% yet you blame an individual? What about the policies firing people with near guaranteed natural immunity for lack of compliance? How are those policy's not to blame? A single person doesn't b

China lockdown did nothing as is made entirely apparent by how they reopened their country and never had to lock down again. Lockdowns don't give immunity so obviously they either have bad reporting or they acquired immunity naturally
