...that article says exactly what I said. The CDC was initially wrong, and after some good science and convincing, they changed their stance. That's how science works... and numbers like 5 microns which have been ingrained for a while

What's your point? Smaller companies have a better chance of success? Why would that be?

I think the biggest failure wasn't the CDC being wrong at first, it was society not being receptive to changes. It's impossible to be correct every single time. The only thing they can do is say what they know so far.

That's their point, they said "do business in the US". You're saying the same thing.

> you can categorize Picasso as a genius purely on his influence of other artists that follow him. That's a dangerous game. You can surely think of plenty of counter examples here in history and modern times.

Exactly. I'm currently getting downvoted elsewhere for comparing crypto-bros to art enthusiasts. Are some crypto technologies cool and useful? Sure. Are some artworks nice to look at and/or thought provoking? Absolutely. But some

How much of art popularity is people wanting to feel in the know, and desperately trying to find reasons to enjoy it? If you say Picasso was a genius, then you're automatically accepted into a "smart" or "high class&quot

IMO thinking Picasso is special is more "tech bro" than not. Specially crypto-bros. Every time I see someone defending art like this and its value, it reads exactly like people defending crypto.

It's not really a good question, and I suspect he knows that. Twitter can simply: 1. Sample x twitter accounts 2. Have humans review the accounts manually to determine if they are bots. This isn't perfect but can be good enough. 3

You use twitter in a different way than the vast majority of users. Twitter users follow people and see their posts. Their feeds are mostly their followers posts. You ever look at the youtube home page when you're logged out? It's
