throwitaway1235··on Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may produce lasting immunity
Someone should find out if natural antibodies provide long term immunity, including variants, since so many people already contracted Covid-19 and recovered.

Especially among young adults teenagers and children since they have yet to be vaccinated at scale.

throwitaway1235··on A man whose software ate the world
"but what you could enforce in common is this: let’s just agree on how to score the result."

Why would this be important? For example, what value would there be in the Right scoring how well the Left succeeded in implemting gun control? Why would you care how well your opposition accomplished a result you oppose? I don't think this would foster commonality.

(no, I'm not the seller)

throwitaway1235··on Brave Search beta
They all know Google search employs censorship, they just rather lie to your face.

I almost forgot about the blacklist! https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-06-22/google-is...

throwitaway1235··on Brave, the false sensation of privacy
Once it became obvious through Firefox blog posts that they support censorship and oppose free speech, I made the switch to Brave.
throwitaway1235··on Restaurants May Finally Get Relief from Grubhub and Uber’s Automatic Sign-Ups
GrubHub, Doordash, Ubereats etc are unnecessary middle men. What's their actual value to the consumer? An organized list of local menus.
throwitaway1235··on Few people know that Google voluntarily removes some search results
It's simple. The user is a thinking, conscious being, he or she views, what he or she wants. No dilemma. Nothing shall be censored.
throwitaway1235··on Software is eating the car
Nailed it.
throwitaway1235··on If you sell a house these days, the buyer might be a pension fund
Expand?
throwitaway1235··on If you sell a house these days, the buyer might be a pension fund
I don't believe X00,000 died from Covid-19. If I believe Covid-19 exists, am I still a Covid denier?

I feel like absolutist language such as x-denier is designed by stupid people to avoid debate.

throwitaway1235··on If you sell a house these days, the buyer might be a pension fund
People and organizations with wealth are dumping their money into the stock market or real estate because the dollar is being intentionally devalued.

Your complaint is the label? Great Reset sounds apt.

throwitaway1235··on “AI promised to revolutionize radiology but so far its failing”
"only about 11% of radiologists used AI for image interpretation in a clinical practice. Of those not using AI, 72% have no plans to do so"

Highly intelligent people, of which radiologists would fall under, are not going to adopt technology clearly aimed at replacing them.

throwitaway1235··on Employees are quitting instead of giving up working from home
Are people so hopelessly dense that they don't realize a remote economy means lower wages, massive outsourcing and the obsolescence of cities?
throwitaway1235··on Twitter confirms Twitter Blue
How much does Twitter want to remove me from "view more replies"?
throwitaway1235··on Microsoft president: Orwell’s 1984 could happen in 2024
What "never happened" lol? My state of NY has the Excelsior Pass as an app for download on the play store, which has my vaccination status.

You are literally denying objective reality. Google nor any other private non-health corporation has any right to that information.

throwitaway1235··on Microsoft president: Orwell’s 1984 could happen in 2024
I personally believe we crossed that Rubicon once we granted the play store our vaccination status, contact tracing strangers etc.

That was the undeniable shift towards hard totalitarianism.

throwitaway1235··on Microsoft president: Orwell’s 1984 could happen in 2024
Big Tech representative says "look over there!" (China) while his industry unleashes 1984 domestically. Ridiculous, don't fall for it.
throwitaway1235··on Amazon acquires MGM for $8.5B
Yes. Used to watch with my father when it ran on scifi channel.
throwitaway1235··on Amazon acquires MGM for $8.5B
I find humour in very bad movies. Not like run of the mill garbage, like "so bad it's good" stuff.
throwitaway1235··on Amazon acquires MGM for $8.5B
I do the "bad movie night" with family too. I suggest Titanic 2 on Tubi. It's amazing in sheer awfulness.
throwitaway1235··on Amazon acquires MGM for $8.5B
The Criterion collection is a good choice for those with a more discerning taste in film. Well curated too. But expensive.
throwitaway1235··on Belarus 'diverts Ryanair flight to arrest journalist', opposition says
Most of these Western journalists function as intelligence operatives with instructions to foment coups in non-West aligned states such as China, Venezuela, Iran, Russia and Belarus.

The tech community is brilliant in some things but hopelessly naive in others.

throwitaway1235··on Citizen CEO offered to personally fund LA arson manhunt for the wrong person
I would disagree with that pretty strongly.

Big difference between an individual defending his property/family with his own property vs funneling that defense through a corporate crowd-sourced surveillance system.

throwitaway1235··on Citizen CEO offered to personally fund LA arson manhunt for the wrong person
Citizen is another example of the trend towards private security systems over public. Not good.

(Your neighbor, while a member of the public, does not constitute public law enforcement)

throwitaway1235··on Robinhood’s big gamble
It was not a site wide outage. Only a small handful of stocks could not be ordered.

If that's not putting ones finger on the scale I don't know what is.

throwitaway1235··on Robinhood’s big gamble
Robinhood did not have an "outage" as many people are saying in relation to the GameStop manipulation.

I don't recall the specific date, but I and x number of people put purchase orders in during the overnight that were not executed when the market opened.

Calling this an outage is disingenuous. Especially considering purchase orders for other stocks on that specific date/time were executed.

throwitaway1235··on Ethereum will use around 99.95% less energy post merge
Carbon phobia is a mental disorder.
throwitaway1235··on Where have all the Uber drivers gone?
Labor benefits from operating within long standing regulated industry. Even if overly bureaucratic. More stability, less fluctuation in wages.

Passenger experience is fine, was speaking exclusively about the driver.

throwitaway1235··on Where have all the Uber drivers gone?
The door dash ad I see on YouTube really makes me rage. A girl playing guitar on her bed, narrator saying (paraphrase) "who really wants a boring 9-5, wish you could have more free time?" Criminals!
throwitaway1235··on Where have all the Uber drivers gone?
I wish someone would have the courage to ban Uber in NYC. Taxi and Limousine commission treated drivers far better than Uber.
