What does that have to do with anything I said? Do you think we ally with countries for moral reasons? We allied with Stalin after he invaded Poland with Germany earlier in the same war.
Because geopolitics is a game where ALL the players are sociopaths and Saudi Arabia is basically too small for their government's admitted craziness to even register.
The difference is that forefoot running is harder, but _simpler_. You dont even need highly engineering shoes to run using it, especially barefoot. You can run on bare metal.
Beautiful comment. The Grope is Good would make a great band name or campaign slogan, or maybe both.
Ill never forget asking a TSA guy if he was sure mmwave was really just sound. "Yes! Its just sound waves, completely harmless," he assured me. "Less than your phone makes in your pocket!"
There is no scientific evidence for being able to "train your immune system". There is plenty of evidence the opposite happens. Covid especially can cause permanent immune damage.
We have an innate immune responses and adaptive immune responses. Innate immune responses look for common attributes of certain pathogens and then trigger an adaptive immune response if needed. Adaptive immune responses are highly specific to certain pathogens and can provide long lasting immunity to some of those pathogens, such as measles. How would vaccines work if we only had innate immunity?
So being exposed to certain pathogens can trigger a lasting effect, the length of which depends on the pathogen. If that effect has gone away or lessened severely over many months then it makes sense that only the innate immune response would be available against those pathogens, and the adaptive response would need to be learned again.
There's actually pretty good evidence that being overly clean and sterile is bad for an immune system. Yes, getting exposed to highly dangerous diseases like Ebola, polio, measles, small pox, etc. is bad, covid with a vaccine doesn't really rise to that level.
Its ok to admit you cant truly grasp something, in fact its a mark of wisdom. The collective output and understanding of the world's scientists is equivalent to that of a superintelligence, you alone will never come close.
I have an uncle who knows a lot more facts about climate change than I do, and uses them to great effect in arguing that its not real.
Collective output? How does that work, each one looks at a different part? Might we do the same?
I can admit when I don't grasp something. But I'm not going to defer to someone else who says that it's incomprehensible to anyone but them. A statement like that should set your bullshit detector off immediately, unless you like being sacrificed atop a pyramid.
A hyperobject is supposed to be something so large and complex that no human mind is capable of grasping it. I'm not the one invoking this unfalsifiable definition, some of those claiming to understand it however, are. That's obviously disingenuous and should immediately set off your bullshit alarm.
I think this is great advice, but saying that PL design is done already isn't really true. Its not as hard to make a new kind of PL as you might think, but it is of course hard to make it useful.
Just combining the right features and forgoing the wrong ones into a language alone is an art, to say that its only innovation is a bit like claiming paintings are innovations because we have all the colors :)
