I don't think you understand how science works. One study does not prove or disprove a hypothesis, especially on a highly politicized topic. Also, I made a general statement about parasitics being effective against covid because of sim

Studies have shown that COVID-19 has similar mechanisms of action as parasitic infections that target red blood cells. That's why Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (drugs for parasitic diseases, such as malaria, a red-blood cell parasi

This reminds me of something that would be included in a JS engineering interview. I find questions like this to be ridiculous. Knowing the answer to a question about this 'gotcha' would be a pretty terrible signal about future en

100% agreed. However, these anecdotal tales have no science and research behind them so references cannot be produced.

Totally agree.

This post is on point. I spent a good amount of time working on multiple NativeScript apps (NS with Angular and NS with Vue) and can attest that the documentation is not good enough and that there are serious bugs that are pointed out and n

If you want to make valid comparisons, compare the energy usage of Bitcoin (and other blockchain-based solutions) to the energy usage of the current fiat system (with all its banks and other financial services companies). Plus, it is a fact

Fed went on the gold standard in 1970. I never characterized the Fed as an "evil puppet master" - that is an exaggeration. However, the Fed is certainly responsible for wealth inequality. It's a simple concept that is 100% ba

Business cycles and asset inflation are different. Business cycles are natural to capital markets, asset inflation is caused by massive artificial injections of money (a la quantitative easing).

I didn't make an argument about education. I made a comment referencing mass financial and economic illiteracy in America. An economic theory is not right or wrong, good or bad, or otherwise based what the "educated, mainstream ex

"Mainstream actually educated economists are right, not people hyperventilating about money printing." The thesis of your post is literally a fallacious argument - the argument from authority. The textbook definition. Yes, the &

The irony...

The article that this thread is based off of is literally the opposite take from my original post. The article claims that America's 1% is responsible for the wealth inequality. That is why I posted my comment. My opinion, and the &quo

This is one of the worst takes I've read in awhile. First off, there is no general consensus about the exact cause of the Great Depression and the cause of the recovery. If you're going to make an attempt at a history lesson, at l

Bingo. I was being politically correct but actually agree wholeheartedly. Didn't want to get too conspiratorial on this forum.

Naval is a smart man. Couldn't agree with this more. We are nearing the end of the road to socialism via inflation.

Exactly. Bankruptcy and insolvency is an immune response to financial illness in markets. However, instead of removing cancerous growths, we bail them out and thus they metastasize and become much larger and more lethal. This inevitably lea

Correction: The Fed's policies have taken $50T of wealth from the Bottom 90%. When you bail out irresponsibly over-leveraged and nearly bankrupted banks and corporations, and pay for those bailouts with tax-payer money, you steal from

It would be helpful if you actually posted the study, not a quantitative graph without context of the data contained within. It is misleading. The study: https://www.pnas.org/content/107/38/16489 "Emotio

For someone to not understand this without a study, I think they would need to be oblivious to the state of the economy, the cost of living in the average metropolitan area where the average American lives, and social dynamics / cultur

Duh. Whoever authored the original 75k year study had a bias and/or agenda against our current economic system. We didn't need a study to show that even above a 75k salary, more income is correlated with more well-being. This is a

You are comparing apples to oranges. Bitcoin cuts out middlemen, like banks. The finance industry and banks are much larger energy consumers than the Bitcoin network. Comparing a world with Bitcoin versus a world without Bitcoin is an inval

Yes certainly OT. I hesitated before writing that line, but regardless, the internet is one the most transformational technologies humanity has ever created. I would characterize the last century as the last hundred years, i.e. 1920-2020.

This is gaslighting. The internet was designed by CERN to be a network that scientific literature could be sent to and from other scientists. Then the internet became much, much more, and became the most transformational technology of the l

That's ok. I care about data hygiene. Signal cares about data hygiene. I don't want old data lying around and ready to be used by nefarious third parties at any point in the future. I'm sticking with Signal as long as they st

Great write-up. I was highly skeptical of the claims of 95% efficacy. After reading this analysis of the data (and other literature) my suspicions have been confirmed. The public needs the raw trial data. Now. Regulators are under immense p
