That’s talking about herd immunity from vaccines. OP is talking about herd immunity from natural infection. So your links don’t invalidate the point, considering Israel research just proved that natural immunity is 13x more effective against Delta than Pfizer mRNA
Geez. I’m underestimating their intelligence? Have you visited the 3rd world? I have. Many times, and food+shelter is THE number one priority.
Why did you have 1M in CDs in the first place?
I’m sorry and you’re right, it’s not your fault. But that doesn’t disregard what the person you were replying to was saying. The government has not encouraged taking vitamins or exercise. In Colorado they banned people from going hiking in national forests, state parks, etc. Which is ironic given that’s a great way to socially distance
This is common with window protection (wood) in hurricane states
If they aren’t universally against all vaccines, then why is the term “anti-vaxxer” applied in deragatory ways? I was under the impression it meant they were afraid of all

Portions of what you mentioned seem like reasonable concerns to the average layperson

> 8 billion people waking up every day. And all they do is seeking social relevance,

No they don’t. Most of this earth is seeking food and clean water and substance. You’re lucky enough to have that and seek your social relevance

While I don’t disagree, I expect there’s a substantially equivalent number of grifters under socialism as well

I noticed this too! Thought it was a random advertisement that I happened to receive in perfect irony. The irony is even richer since it’s being shown to everyone

Are other auto companies pursuing in-home batteries like Tesla? I’m hoping for more competition in the Powerwall space

Ya, but I’ve seen those same responses 4+ years ago. I had to give up on using it for a project years ago as they didn’t support some things and closed the PRs
> Would he have lost them money? Yes, definitely, without question

I question it. You’re too confident here. How much money would he lose? Is it measurable? A blip?

And how much increased revenue would be gained by his supporters? Does it even out?

How many people doing the canceling have never bought from the company, nor would ever?

In one case the “canceled” actually happens routinely. In the other, it’s just a loud man ranting but no one was canceled.

These two were the most interesting on the list to me. Not sure why he cared about the first , but the second (and other titles about conspiracies) is really strange to me. Has anyone here read that book?

These feature look amazing. Ah I clicked, I didn’t expect it to be compelling but I’m intrigued enough to try it out. Great work!
The most logical reason is that they want to connect the human identity to the wallet/address, thereby easily removing anonymity and ensuring the government can monitor their population effectively
OP said it happened In Florida but no name changes happened in Florida. My comment was meant to clarify, not argue in bad faith. I said “very” different not “completely different”. Nor did I argue that either should be ignored.
> Censorship isn’t what make social media and blogging so toxic to our culture. It’s the lack of reputational cost to bad actors and the undeterred gathering of information.

This isn’t an either-or binary thing, both can contribute to a toxic platform and mistrust. Censorship and cancel culture and bad actors and venomous users all contribute a part

In the Florida case it was/is a common surname, not a full name. In this Russian case, two humans changed their full name to match. Presumably paid to do so. Very different situations

Edit: in the Russian case, they also changed their appearance to match

According to a sibling comment, this strategy goes back to JohnF Kennedy at least. Except that the Russians take it to the next level

Re:Rivian Files for IPO, Seeking About $80B Valuation on Saturday August 28, 2021 @10:51PM (#28343655)
Not OP but.. There’s a difference between debts and assets though. Is the $160B debt equivalent to $160B in assets or did they screw up and overspend? If I bought a $500k for $1M then the next buyer can’t get it appraised for such
Where in your first link does it say that Qatar/Turkey are providing security? I didn’t find it
