Preventing serious illness and death has always been the stated goal of COVID-19 vaccine development and distribution.

You really kicked the shit out of that strawman.

Yes, I can read. Your argument is nonsensical.

> I would moreover argue that if a government scheme can be sabotaged like this in the first place, the government scheme is itself at fault [...]

This is the weirdest argument. I mean, you seem to be arguing for some kind of government that's not answerable to elected leaders or voters? I mean, how else would you be able to run a program that couldn't be shut down by the leadership of an organization - public or private?

You can't call dibs on any future progress in a field.

For us it was supposed to be a rotation, with people in on different days so you're still doing all your meetings on Zoom but now you need to drive an hour to do it.

Yeah but you know, as much as you know anything else really, that your code won't break your toaster.

You're gonna need a citation or two for all of that.

Even assuming that you are correct in your absolutely ridiculous assumption that self-driving cars are about controlling the movement of the population, why would you think it would be government control and not control of the company that is trying to develop the self-driving technology?

Discord won't take the numbers, Venmo won't take the numbers.

> I don't think the article is good, either; in fact, I think it's pretty lazy,

In what way? The article is what it says on the tin.

Ritual human sacrifice could alternatively be described as someone taking an approach to religion that you don't like.

I want to ask you a framing question: have I violated anyone's rights if I tell you that I had Cheerios for breakfast this morning?

Define "go over well."

I mean, if you're in a growing city and you do nothing, things will eventually get shitty for suburban commuters. At that point, you might have a choice between expanding the road system or building the rail.

That's what commuter light rail is for, is Strong Towns against that?

Mine doesn't.

There's also a mechanical version of a prusik called an "ascender." That's what I think this thing basically is.

I don't even have an account with Robinhood. I've never done any business with them but somebody else set up an account with my email address. After taking way too long to have my email removed from that account, they now managed to give it to some criminals as well.

That makes even less sense, somehow.

You're off by a factor of 4,000 or so.

Hacker News is really filling in the COVID misinformation niche since some other sites have started acting a little bit more responsibly.
