Seems like the vaccine is the deadly roulette ticket: risk of fatal bloodclotting every time a new vaccine is administered while ironically being at a higher risk against new, potentially more dangerous, mutations compared to people who recovered from a Covid infection naturally. I guess it comes down how much you trust pharmaceutical companies having the payday of a lifetime and politicians on a power trip.

>Read: fact-leaning bias

That is if you redefine what the words 'fact' or 'fact-checking' mean in the style of Orwellian newspeak.

>Jared Harris

Didn't watch Foundation yet, but loved him in The Expanse, such a charismatic presence.

>Okay, sure, but this would be quite the feat of medical engineering to hack the immune system to the point where it no longer operates as normal

Is it? We had immunosuppressors for decades, we know about about AIDS and gene therapy. Doesn't sound like such an extreme feat to me.

> a peer reviewed study in a well known scientific journal.

Isn't that a bit naive? Hypothetically, if the conspiracy theories were true, why would an established publisher take the risk to go against a genocidal cabal? It's infinitely easier (and healthier) to align yourself with the winning side.

> You have a very high opinion of Governments in order to perpetuate a conspiracy on that scale.

That's exactly what a government shill would say. /s

But seriously, I never found Hanlon's razor particularly convincing. The conspiracy theories usually say that there is some entity ABOVE your government that hands down the orders to the oblivious politician actors. Compartmentalization[0] is a common method in the military and intelligence community to keep the majority of their minions in the dark about the true nature and extent of their work.

Take Snowden for example: none of the (according to wikipedia) 30,000-40,000 internal employees stepped forward to blow the whistle on NSA's pervasive and illegal dragnet surveillance. It took Snowden, an external contractor of all things, to do what's right.

How dare these individuals subvert well-meant racism? /s

Thankfully, the article reminded me of the fact that I wanted to enroll for the CS50 today. Still I couldn't reproduce how to leverage that enrollment into an .edu mail address like the article purports. Any pointers? :D

The vagueness is intentional and it's surely supposed to strengthen their ownership claim on the idea of the "metaverse"[0].

But unless the company radically changes their internal KPIs, it's probably just a matter of time until Meta will taint that name too and evoke the same association as the word "metastasis" does.

The concept is called the "euphemism treadmill"[1], you can try to outrun the negative association but it will catch up eventually, famously evidenced by the company originally known as Blackwater[2].

As much as I hate the subscription model in software, I'd prefer it for social networks and messenger services to stop the omnipresent and insidious peeping model for advertising purposes which we see today and ideally before it starts to infect a nascent "metaverse" of AR and VR.

Apart from Craig White, everyone smart who was involved with the creation of Bitcoin and it's underlying technologies probably isn't oblivious to the danger of revealing themselves as Satoshi Nakamoto. Anyone and their family would be an instant juicy target for the US government, nation states, countless criminal actors or even desperate civilians down on their luck.

So the only person I would actually discard to be the real Satoshi is the one person that wants to be Satoshi the most - Craight Wright.

>I'd personally call it a riot.

In contrast to the 'mostly peaceful' BLM protests leading up the elections of 2020?

Also not without instrumentalizing Sicknick's death to further the 'orange man bad' narrative.

"Neutral" NPR reporting on this:

Is this a case of Gell-Mann amnesia in where the commenters usually lament how the US judicial system is fucked up in overcharging to force a plea deal but in this case the litany of charges is convenient proof of the extreme dangerousness of the Jan 6th protesters?

So much scripted drama while everybody involved is on the same page and wants and regulation and more censorship of FB:

Facebook wants regulation for itself to kick the ladder down for future competitors, the current "whistleblowers" want it for FB because of personal idelogical leanings toward modern identity politics, the legacy media corporations want regulation applied to FB hoping that it will somehow save the former's outdated business model and the Biden administration wants it in order to manufacture consent in the face of falling popularity ratings and to keep those pesky allegations of election fraud down (except for their own allegations against the opponent).

>Except that the consensus on the science has been growing, in defiance of the consensus of politics and the public, which has been slow to get on board.

The consensus on man-made climate change has grown following the rise of aggressive identity politics and "social justice warrior" cancel culture on social media.

What were your painpoints? Did it at least work for a while?

I remember using it for a few months and then being unable to to keep up with my fellow clan mates. I wondered if everybody else was playing with on cheat mode because I was totally burning myself out and missing out on sleep to get a few more sets of pushups or meditation in. Staying up long after midnight every day takes its toll eventually. I had also marked a few tasks as "very important" which I was unable to complete as there was so much shame connected to it. Ironically not completing the tasks just increased the shame until I wouldn't even dare to look at them anymore...

I'm using a Xiaomi Mi Band fitness tracker along with the app Gadgetbridge (to replace the official Xiaomi app and stop exfil to Chinese servers) and another app called Snoreclock which measures sleep quality. It's not the fanciest setup but perhaps an alternative solution to your situation.

>The suggestions are not relevant to

"Relevant" is a code word for "we spy on your every move and also share your personal browsing behaviour with our many external partners to serve you relevant ads".

>What’s wrong with paying market rates for a CEO?

More expensive doesn't mean better, it most likely just means putting someone in charge whose primary metric is short-term profit.

>Pretty cynical to believe she has a hidden agenda.

She openly calls for more censorship, at least that agenda isn't even hidden.

When was the last time that a 'whistleblower' was interviewed on prime time TV?

Facebook doesn't just exclusively employ engineers, they also employ psychologists and neuroscientists exactly in order to refine these parameters and increase engagement. It's not an honest mistake, the way loot boxes, gacha mechanics and dark patterns aren't honest mistakes.

Book deal and Oprah interview likely coming soon.

Not necessarily. What you're thinking of is probably anarchism.

Leftists can favour authoritarianism just as much as right-wing types. The difference is usually just between MY "good" authoritarianism vs. YOUR "bad" authoritarianism. In my opinion this "whistleblower" and democrat donor's call for more censorship is anything but anti-authoritarian.

It's impressive what some people can achieve under restraints.

Following the recommendation I started to use Pydroid (on Adroid) from the Playstore and even without an external keyboard it's great for little scripts (or exercises) on the go.

Finally work can be done!

Unless his newly found fame attracts another group of more physical extraction "artists".

So more along the lines of embezzlement?

>It was initially fueled by the ennui of two world wars, and then drifted into cries about consumerism.

And also bankrolled by the CIA as a psy-op tool during the Cold war.
