if you could press a button that would return all hostages but at the cost of 276 Palestinian civilians per hostage recovered, you would do it. Just pointed it out for the normal folks here. Israelis are pretty radicalized.

They're not removing propaganda only, they are also censoring pro Palestinian views in order to better enable their own propaganda. Do not see how this shadow group of techies forcing their views on the world can be seen as a good thin

It's because children are by definition blameless, innocent actors. It's impossible for a 5 year old to do evil, so it's universally agreed that even 1 child dying in a war is too many. At least that used to be the case befor

I'll bookmark this. See you in 10 years, and you'd better hope this comment doesn't turn into the infamous Dropbox comment.

Your goal shouldnt be to work at at an early startup. As you mentioned it's not worth it. Your goal is to be a founder at a startup, and for all of people's claims that startup success is entirely luck that is not true. Luck certa

If there is asymmetric risk and reward, then do what wall street does: exploit the shit out of it and make bank. Oh wait, most people would rather complain about someone making a billion ("Hur dur he didn't work 1 million times ha

You mentioned that you can optimize which investments get solds. Assuming my risk tolerance is fine with stock index funds, what happens if I want to withdraw, say 1/2 of my portfolio but the S/P 500 is down 20% (aka March 2020 w

For certain populations (ie young women) the risks from AstraZeneca vaccine outweigh the risks from covid. Old people shouldnt be scared yes, but young people should approach it with caution. And isn't that what the government is sayin

The issue with claiming that the pandemic caused these extra deaths is that we don't know if it did.this is because the reactions to covid (lockdown) could have just as easily impacted people dying. It's not so simple so as to att

If you read your own links you'll note that literally nobody can directly attribute any negative consequences in humans from radiation. It's all conjecture. The only direct cause of harm is the 1600 that died in the evacuation.
