Agree with this. Smartphones have enabled profligation of low effort posts and comments, emotional outbursts and mood based content. This sort of direct or indirect attention grabb…

>"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" - Arthur Clarke I think this would be an interesting place to discuss. When Arthur Clarke made that statemen…

Antibody remembrance comes from memory cells isnt it? I may be wrong.

He's always had that super-aggressive, rude style in discussions. Linus is not a fairy, but he is super smart.

I think the point is, the memory cells do not retain this knowledge for extended periods of time in the case of the current Covid vaccines we have. So should we be looking for a 3r…

In my country we often joke about how hard it is to find that one "perfect" doctor - knows what he's doing and knows about his strengths and weaknesses, isnt too arrogant or unwill…

I think the commenters point was not about people reading articles on the internet and feeling that they've got a better understanding than doctors. It's about medical professional…

Back in my school days, we used to have lots of poems which would often go on to say that money is the biggest trouble of life, or that money is the biggest corrupter of people's m…

Maybe that is the downside of the general policy of abstraction that Devs use, that software should be made to look as simple as possible, and all the apparently "unnecessary intri…

TikTok feeding us what we apparently value is its biggest danger. When people out of mere curiosity watch something biased/misrepresented/discriminatory/extreme and interact with t…

I think lots of physicists have a tendency to outrightly reject interpretations which seemingly put humans and other "conscious"(whatever that means) entities on a higher pedestal …

I pin the blame on too many users joining due to the mass popularisation of Reddit by YouTubers. At one point, almost every "popular" YouTuber seemed to have these "subReddit revie…

The problem arises when people dont actually say "ignorant racist trash" but have a genuine point of discussion(albeit controversial), but are painted with the same brush as real r…

>Setting up your community with specific standards is totally fine imo In some sense I agree, but what happens when these communities begin to overflow with people, and chaos incre…

Very interesting idea. C can still come back and comment the next day/after a fixed time frame. I think it provides a much needed balance between lack of interaction and over inter…

Very unfortunate. Mud slinging and blame game tactics to prevent neutral discussion are the bane of society.

You think nobody can tap phone records, when you called someone outside India? Oppressive government?

Or a solar flare. Nature's wrath is unimaginable.

When AlphaGo went against Lee Sedol, it often made moves in the later stages of the game which were completely inexplicable to almost all game analysts and commentators, it seemed …

This is an excellent point. An AI may be able to do a diagnosis to you, but a doc could do diagnosis+post diagnosis, with the foresight of medical history. Theoretically an AI coul…

I think proof of ownership and non duplicability arguments apply strongly in the case of something like a Lamborghini( because obviously it has tremendous value) . But I dont reall…

To be honest, considering currency exchange rates, 140k for a nurse is a GINORMOUS salary in atleast 80% of countries other than the USA. I have tremendous respect for medical prof…

To be fair, I too have ended up thinking that free will probably does not exist. Yet everyone else and I will always continue to behave and live as if it existed, that is my consol…

I think good-bad is not a fair comparision to classify hedonism into one of them. There are generic pleasures like money/sex , and subjective pleasures.Both can easily spiral into …

The Hindus as well I believe. Especially within the "Vedanta" school of thought.
