You do not have to make personal attacks. To enlighten you about nuance, think about this: - Is driving a car the same as killing people? - Is selling junk food the same as killing people?

I respect your view on this because it seems well researched, but I have a few qualms about it: 1. Using QALYs seems ok w/r to covid, but not in relation to lockdowns. You say 4 days of QALYs lost per person and I'd argue that bei

The reason non-tracking ads pay less is that tracking ads are now the norm. If standards/laws were implemented to protect privacy and block such tracking, content providers (if they are so inclined) would make as much money with non-tr

Yes, but it's not a short-term boost like with Covid. I mean it in that Covid will look worse and heart disease better on a short scale, but in the grand scheme of things Covid will die down and heart disease come back, since you don&#

Take care when interpreting this kind of data. Even if it were true that Covid-19 is the number one cause of death for 2020 , you can make a strong case that this number contains a significant number of unhealthy people which would have di

You might be right, but from cursory look [1] [2], there were 300 fatalities / 5000 millions passenger ~ 1 / 17 millions for 2019 so your probability of dying from one flight (all of the world considered - way lower for US afaics)

1 in ~10 million seems to be the average risk of an american to die from air plane, so, in your lifetime (100 years, if you live to 100 - average lifespan is 80 it looks like), that goes up to 1-(9,999,999/10,000,000)^100 ~ 1 in 100k S

What you may be referring to is systemd treating resolv.conf entries as identical DNS servers, where they used to be processed sequentially. Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15228940 It's a bre

>All freedoms have limits, agreed to by reasonable people living in a reasonable society. That's a deeply flawed stance. The meaning of "reasonable person" changes so often as to be able to mean anything.

That's fair. Although I still think blacklist/whitelist is more natural/easier for most people to understand.

>that seems extraordinarily unlikely Isn't this the issue then? Assuming a north province can have taxes equal to e.g. BC and Ontario seems erroneous. What's the incentive in living in harsher climate, less populated area?

>Also, deny list and allow list are more precise terms anyway. Are they? Black/whitelist feels way more natural to me. You can also say things like "blacklisted this ip" instead of "adding to the deny list" or so

Selective lowering of taxes doesn't imply less money for infrastructure for the affected areas. Gov could (should imo) tax big cities more to develop underdeveloped cities.

Everything can be said to be "theoretical". Theoretically you would have found a buyer had you tried to sell at 200, but nothing guarantees it

It's simple economics, if you block demand but keep constant supply (in this case increase), the price will go down.

But preventing buys on the broker with the most trades of these stocks directly leads to a price drop; this leads to loss for every current holder of the stock.

But blocking buying on the broker with the most trades = price falls down = real loss?
