I guess I missed the xenophobia and racism in his twitter feed. That wouldn’t surprise me however I’m just not sure what you are referring to specifically.

I understand but that’s a strange hope a bit based on his twitter bring too right-wing or libertarian than he would prefer, yet those beliefs are actually very consistent with a lot of Satoshi’s known leanings and beliefs. The block zero comment is pretty libertarian for example and many of his comments on email lists are also. So it’s a bit illogical for the OP to hope for otherwise.

His twitter feed is very libertarian and Austrian economics themed. That doesn’t surprise me at all, should it?

Exactly so clearly if you even are willing to consider the possibility that SARS-Cov-2 escaped, you are crazy and a right wing nut ok. See how that works.

I’m curious if you have done any research at all into Covid’s origin? For me it would be very surprising to find someone who has now expressing your implied distain for those who are considering the possibility it originated in the Wuhan lab. This isn’t a political topic or at least shouldn’t be.

Is that really true? Do you have any reference for that, I’m curious how different it is. FWIW I use InfluxDB and haven’t really thought it was a huge resource hog.

That’s total nonsense. There are many reasons to believe the immunity is very very short.

I would also argue vaccine is not likely for many related reasons.

There is a big problem with optimistically assuming immune systems will respond like SARS even, because we know in general terms the more severe the symptoms the longer the immunity lasts, but wait ... huge huge numbers of people with Covid-19 are asymptotic, that is not the cases with it’s SARS and MERS relatives! wake up people, herd immunity is delusional and dangerous. more likely is very short immunity, just like the other 4 Corona family virus which cause many of our common colds, high asymptotic rates, and reinfect us very very frequently and NOT due to mutations!

Talk about spreading mis-information! I really hope you were joking about self-infecting.
Re:Scientists create antibody that defeats coronavirus in lab

I’m assuming because you are sure having it once will give you some immunity? It’s really unclear if that is true and I respectfully disagree with those who same it is more likely than not.

Ok I get it. But in truth your reaction is a coping mechanism for information that makes you uncomfortable. The quote is not misinformation and is actually the entire primary point of the article. Which in my experience those type of comments help me decide to read it in full. Anyway, sorry it annoys you.

Ok I’ll give another reason. Nix community is more relaxed and doesn’t downvote just because they don’t like some comment or somebody disagrees with them.

But the bespoke language has some benefits. It’s concise and specifically designed for the problem. Also Nix has more contributors and that is very important to have a large collection of recipes to start from.

This model seems like an incredible breakthrough. Can any physicists comment on why this model isn’t taken more seriously?

The US is not thinking about invading Iran. There is absolutely 0% domestic political support which even if somehow Iran foolishly tries to use 911 type terrorism as a retaliation is not going to generate political support for another pointless occupation.

Well the equivalent would be the Chinese drug lord boss found in Manilla while moving a large shipment and then taken out by a CIA drone.
That sounds very reasonable and I can’t imagine what you are opposed to, what exactly is the problem with either what happened or the scenario in Manilla?
Re:U.S. airstrike kills top Iran general Qassim Suleimani

That’s absurd. US is almost 30% of the world GDP and growing as a proportion. It is Iran that can’t afford war.
Iranian military power is weakest its been and getting weaker, it is no match in any sense for US military power. The US is not going to occupy Iran but it can put them into the dark ages in matters of hours and probably eliminate most of their military.
An Iranian terrorist general constantly plotting cowardly attacks against innocents well deserved assassination by drone outside of his own country.
