Also Peter Zeihan forecasted a lot of this based on demographics and finance in his first book.

I love what Wondery puts out particularly in the history segment. Tides of History, American History Tellers, LBJs War, Business Wars, I’m sure there are others I’m missing. Wondery was a staple in my morning commute when that existed. I wo

I would say that we tend to reduce human flourishing to exclusively being alive. I think the 5x multiplier maybe covers things like loss of liability in an accident, a sense of ownership of the vehicle, loss of privacy or obscurity, regulat

It’s sort of funny, if not maddening, to see elitists try to appeal to the little guy when their back is against the wall. I feel like this is a common trope. It reminds me of Aurelius Commodus in Gladiator.

I feel like this has more to do with F1’s popularity than DIRT. F1 2020 actually improved their simulation aspects too. Guess it’s off to iRacing for F1 simulation. I can see the FIFA-ization of the next few F1 games turning me off.

Don’t they usually have “styles” of intrusion? I’m certain I’ve read in the past where intelligence agencies could differentiate between Russian backed styles of hacking and Chinese backed styles of hacking. I’m sure Americans have their ow

No, the major difference in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are in the makeup of the lipid nanoparticle. Here's an article from Moderna last year on biodegradability of the LNPs they've developed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.n

You should provide sources for claims like this or at least claims stated in this way. The actual real truth is, like most things with this virus that showed up a few months ago, nobody knows for sure.

I think his point, though not well made, is that it’s likely parent is not the first to ask this question and that the researchers have likely already thought about that.

Lipid nanoparticle used to envelope and deliver the mRNA. They’re using different makeups which affect the mRNA delivery and stabilization in the vaccine.

But the death certificate covid deaths match up pretty closely to excess deaths. I'm sure there are a number of those excess deaths that are from postponing care, but surely you don't think that there have been that many excess su

I haven’t seen what you’re describing. I’ve seen hrsACE2 which is recombinant ACE2. That will both provide a target for the virus to latch onto as well as supplement the body’s actual ACE2 to complete the cycle which seemed to be more of th

This vaccine is against the entire spike glycoprotein. Some in production vaccines are only against the RBD (the protein that actually latches onto ACE2). There are variants out there that have been shown to escape RBD antibodies. However,

That’s correct. This was the only way for the world to pay for WWII and for the US to stem the tide of communism and Stalin’s Russia. Now that the Cold War is over, the US middle class isn’t sure it wants to foot the bill for maintaining th

I honestly believe this is just a return to normal for both sides. Conservatism, before being injected with neoliberalism by Thatcher and Reagan, has been about leaving other countries alone while focusing on protecting American interests.

Most of the time, religious people don’t bother with actual theology. If you care to look, there is a lot of critical thinking that went into the Reformation. Both of these examples go against mainline reformed theology in America. Reformed

I don’t see how your anecdotal data can be counted as more valuable than BLS data backed by payroll, benefits, and subsidy data from employers and providers.

This article does make me wonder about the practicality of Medicare for All. From this example, it seems like a great way to line hospital executives’ pockets with taxpayer money. Is the goal to institute a Medicare for All system alongside

Formula E already exists. As a PR play, other power unit manufacturers may follow Honda. Volkswagen put a lot of pressure on them with their announcement last year. However, I don’t think (and hope) that ICE racing will go anywhere. The eng

I'm not sure what the average poster here on HN makes, but if I assume that it's ~$250K for the employees living in SF, you could move to St. Louis, MO, have your salary adjusted to $225K, get a $20K bonus for moving, and your 225

I thought most hospitals had hall monitors who were writing people up for not foaming in and out of each room. Maybe that's not everywhere or is just university hospitals.
