> not as much as if they also got vaccinated, so it seems like the original point still stands If previously-infected had as much resistance as vaccinated, they should not be more …

The statements are logically consistent. You're incorrectly assuming he meant "only" in the first statement. Those two statements are part of the same thread and LeCun makes it mor…

It sounds like celebrating, not advocating. That's a very different thing.

It's not just mammals and I wouldn't frame it as them being disposable when propagating the species. There's a bigger payout at the right tail of the distribution for male genes. M…

One thought: If you see a resume with Coinbase until October 2020, that's probably someone who prefers political activism in the workplace. That might be seen in a positive or nega…

Out of curiosity, I looked for their policies on misinformation. I could see some potential risks here but it still seems reasonable to me: > Demonstrably inaccurate content > YMYL…

This is similar to what I've been thinking. I usually say "the brain is more like a board than a CEO". One additional interesting tidbit I've noticed is that when the brain decides…

> Politics is not a truth-seeking exercise. It's no science, law or even journalism. It's an allegiance & authority forming exercise. You've articulated well something I've been tr…

Rather than separating claims into "covered" and "not covered", I recommend a third bucket "might be covered". I think this goes into that third bucket. Whether or not this particu…

The part that I found most interesting was the idea that we're moving away from low-capital startups. Does that mean venture capital is going to have to get much bigger to fund the…

I tend to rent despite owning real estate. I tend to move often and only buy real estate if I'm willing to hold it forever. So I buy what I think is a good long term investment and…

I wouldn't be too confident in that. Actuaries are not able to implement the models they'd like to. Regulators don't like complex models and they don't like models with disparate i…

Anyone have a plausible hypothesis on what's driving the trend? The Economist is claiming "Today, nudists complain, it is more difficult to separate nakedness from sex." which seem…

As mentioned in another reply, I don't think LGBT is big enough portion of the population to really drive a huge change, despite having high suicide rates. I'd be interested to see…

That sounds horrible, but I'm not sure that explains the numbers. A quick internet search suggests that LGBT youth have 3x the suicide attempt rate. https://www.thetrevorproject.or…

So some possible hypotheses (in what I would consider most to least plausible): 1) Whatever causes the higher overall rates in Utah (altitude and/or other variables) that interacts…

From the same publication, teen suicide rates are rising across the US: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/suicide-rates-teen-girl...

Yeah, it uh turns out God was was suffering from bipolar disorder. The official diagnosis was originally mentioned in a chapter in revelations. But his PR consultants thought that …

So are your norms and morals offended enough to justify banning such a business model that requires opt-in? Is this the basis of our disagreement?

It's a little unclear to me how this answers the question. Can you connect the dots here? I don't think not giving you services if you don't opt in violates your "enjoyment of the …
