Yes but no because it is the law. It should be law that car companies provide a seat-belt but not that I wear one. Your one sentence straw-man wont suffice here. Again, it's all about personal risk. I could go climb a cliff face with a

I agree with your second comment but not so much the first. Infectious disease control 101: Lock up the infected people but leave the healthy alone. Or else you may have a dwindling economy due to excessive spending, people too scared to wo

My bad, I'm not talking about vaccines here. More replying to this general comment about people that don't comply with governmental decree. Leaving out the fact that GOVT was saying at the start of the pandemic that masks do littl

I want people to be able to calculate risk for themselves rather than have GOVT decide what risks people can and can't take. If one doesn't deem it risky to themselves, perhaps because they are in their 20s and the average age of

My only objection to the legalization of weed will that the smell is horrific (IMPO!) and it will begin to plague busy streets. How would lawmakers address this because I don't see them making designated areas?

So to get this straight, you are just going to be getting free money for doing nothing, what from your dad? How is this in any way related to UBI? I can already predict the outcome. You are just going to accumulate next thing and consoom pr

I don't see anyone one here talking about this. It is already happening with the furlough scheme. Isn't that the experiment already run already? If the furlough scheme meant (some) people don't want to go back to work because

Sure: 1: Download UBlock origin: https://ublockorigin.com/ 2: Open Youtube 3: Right click on any element in the page and click "block element". Do this for anything you don't want to see. If you make a mistak

Also, slightly related: If you want to watch less YouTube, you can use uBlock element picker to remove everything but the search bar. My YouTube web interface is just that now, no recommendations, no nothing. Bliss.

If you watch a lot of YouTube (i try not to these days), might I just shill for the "Sponsor Block" extension [1]? It blocks those sponsored segments in youtube videos. You can also submit segments to save others time so they can

I still love the patent name for it: "Catastrophically buckling compression column switch and actuator". Still wondering what is catastrophic about it. https://patents.google.com/patent/US3699296A/en

I like it a lot and it is very responsive. One thought though, is there any way to reduce the amount of JS/ trackers you are using? UBlock blocking is at 10% and it is still working fine.

Isn't this handled by the fact Lindy-like things have to be non-perishable like ideas or technology?

And if you are writing a blog, it should be written in a way that it could be read 10 years ago if you want it to be read in 10 years if we're following Taleb's thinking.

I checked someone who was part of the leak and the correct initials came up so unless that is by chance, it does seem to be querying the database. You can also read the source code [1] where it does an api call to get the data. We can be pr

I have never used a contact tracing app before. I never leave the house with my phone, and when I arrive at the pub, I get funny looks when I say I can't scan their barcode because I don't have a phone. This pandemic is just furth

What a very thorough reply. Are you saying that right now , you would rather be in the EU? Frankly, I would rather be able to go to the pub. Have some nationalistic pride (assuming you are British) and please don't encourage the disca

Thank God we left the EU, else we would be in the EU debacle regarding vaccines. We are ahead of every member state in terms of vaccinated population. Don't take this as me supporting Boris but its definitely a good thing that we left
