US will also begin rebuilding international goodwill by donating extra vaccines to other countries

Unless you’ve seen the contracts, then you’re really in no position to make such a declaration. I feel a bit weird being put in a position of defending big pharma, but... do you have any evidence whatsoever that this actually happened? Says the man throwing stones

These comments around time to development also completely ignore the decade plus of work that had already been done on mRNA vaccination approaches before the pandemic was declared

I’ve heard it suggested that it’s payback for Brexit, but that struck me as conspiratorial

The coincidence of people taking the vaccine having a LOWER rate of blood clots than in the general population, you mean? x-posted with John

It’s called confirmation bias

Friction is not a type of pollution, even though heat transfer is involved. Unless you consider brake dust to be a type of pollution

More likely is the fact that most ancient human civilizations existed near major sources of water and all of those water sources will have flooded at some point... so the stories of flood are extremely common in mythology and oral histories.

Most of my best reading came after school. I don’t much recall the stuff that was assigned

To me, it’s less about how much computation power we throw at it, and is more about how we/it use that power. I suspect quantum computing will add to the flops data these neural learning models go through. I’m also barely a novice in this space. I tend to agree. The phrase “paradigm shift” is overused, but seems to apply well here.

Some would ignore them. Some would fight them. Some would try to help them be better. Some wouldn’t even notice them. It depends.

Person A will act one way. Person B will act another. Persons C+N also with variance. In simple terms, I’m telling you that it depends. Your question is akin to asking how a single molecule of water will react in the current of a mighty river.

With variance

And I think the galaxy is made of bathtubs bc it looks the same as when the water swirls down their drains. 🙄

This neatly sums up your whole thread. Lol

Yes Depends. While many paths are similar, none are identical. Some do. Some don’t.

That’s fair and there’s no issue with that. However, this doesn’t appear to be what’s happened here. OP: “Here’s my brilliance... behold!!” Replies 1,2,3... : “Actually, your idea doesn’t work for reasons X,Y, and Z as demonstrated by experiments A,B, and C.” OP: You clearly just don’t understand! How dare you comment before understanding. Replies: “Yawn. Yet another crackpot.” Lather. Rinse. Repeat... I thought it was obvious, but I actually want sushi and sake

The larger point is that you don’t have an accurate baseline or representation of all the things you DON’T remember. What you do have is a preconceived idea that your memory is great coupled with a confirmation bias for any information supporting that perspective. Maybe your memory is truly impressive and worthy of further study. I really don’t know. But also maybe you’re only listening to the folks on the margins who comment because their own memory abilities are garbage.

Nah... It’s WAY easier to keep screaming at the cashier at Arby’s for not serving sushi and sake. I want sushi and sake and it’s the job of this minimum wage cashier at Arby’s to oblige me. Duh! Then start making your points more clearly and succinctly. If you can’t explain it on an index card, then you don’t understand it well enough yet to try. Science is our attempt to model the cosmos, make predictions about how it behaves, test those predictions, and discard as trash the ones that don’t work. Science follows a method of finding every flaw in an idea to ensure only the strongest survive, of making sure we are not simply fooling ourselves or unconsciously ignoring those flaws, and any conclusion ever made is provisional, at best. The strongest idea accepted today would be discarded tomorrow if a better, more informative, and more accurate idea came along. When people say that they cannot or do not trust science, it tells me immediately that they are ignorant of how it really works and are basically arguing against straw men.

Cannot be answered with the current information provided.

This thread has obviously become just another venue for Axion to spam their unsupported ideas and needs to be split / merged with the 12 other existing threads on this topic / just trashed along with his posting permissions /2cents

Wait... What the what? Nobody has suggested anything even remotely similar to this. Don’t be so sensitive, snowflake

You misspelled doody

I’m saying that this is one of those topics in critical need of nuance, care, and precision and that anyone even remotely hinting at anything other than purely equal treatment be treated with a bit more skepticism and vigilance than usual.
