Re:Vaccines should end the pandemic, despite the variants, say experts

Yeah I make it a point to never trust the opinion of "experts" on such matters which can potentially create panic in society. It's just far easier to sound assuring than tell the naked truth as it is.
Most of these experts earlier said that the UK variant was nothing to worry about. Now we know it not only spreads faster but is also much deadlier. Same thing might happen here.
Re:Ask HN: Finding an idea of your own to work on as a programmer
on Thursday March 11, 2021 @02:01PM (#26427658)
Finding unique ideas that make money is difficult. But most problems that exist don't require some insane intellectual insights. One problem is that developers don't have experience of other sectors apart from the IT field. Dive deep into stuff like Agriculture, Logistics or any other sector and you will see unique problems that can possibly be solved by unique solutions. But as another user said the market is big enough that you don't always need unique ideas.
Another little trick you can apply is searching for new startups in different countries. Like maybe some early stage startup in Singapore, Hong Kong or Israel might be solving something that might work in your country as well. You can definitely get unique 'ideas' to get inspired using this.
Re:Modern action films fetishize the body even as they desexualize it

The analogy doesn't make sense cause people aren't served the same food. Whereas a prostitute is reusing her body. I agree sex workers are more likely to take precautions but alas just because of having multiple sex partners they are more likely to suffer from various STIs. As I said earlier wearing a condom doesn't save you from a variety of infections. So just having sex with multiple partners increases your risk of infections. A study from England that looked into it:
> FSWs were almost twice as likely to be diagnosed with chlamydia, and three times more likely to be diagnosed with gonorrhoea than other female attendees, adjusting for demographic factors.

How do you prevent catching nasty STD's while trying out so many escorts? Like a lot of the infections like herpes, gonorrhea, Chlamydia and even herpes are spread through kissing and oral sex, so even condoms don't always save you. And a lot of these infections can be asymptomatic so a quick look at the girl also doesn't help. Have always wondered how people who follow lifestyle like you deal with this.
