bigyellow··on Workers are calling out sick in droves
I like how vaccines can "probably" reduce chances of being sick, but saying vaccines "probably" have unknown long-term effects is heresy.
bigyellow··on Workers are calling out sick in droves
> The vaccines, imperfect as they are, seem to have dramatically reduced the incidence of severe symptoms requiring hospitalizations and of death due to Covid.

Is that why there's now more vaccinated people hospitalized for COVID than unvaccinated? I seriously can't understand how people participate in these mental gymnastics. There's more COVID "cases" now than ever before. How does that lend credit to vaccination?

bigyellow··on Order your rapid tests from the USPS (US only)
And historically vaccines used to provide immunity against disease.
bigyellow··on Order your rapid tests from the USPS (US only)
The only logical explanation for testing I can fathom is to use as an excuse to get time off work and/or social approval among peers.
bigyellow··on ‘Trading is gambling, no doubt about it’ cryptocurrency dealing fuels addiction
Exactly the opposite is true. Options are easy to understand and they have unlimited upside.
bigyellow··on Large Eruption Near Tonga, Heard in NZ. Tsunami at Tonga and Fiji
My comment was already "flagged" and hidden from public view, questioning "climate change" is too controversial for "hackers" ... oh, my sides.

No one asked to make a false dichotomy to how awful capitalism is, yet that's the only defense you could muster.
bigyellow··on ‘Trading is gambling, no doubt about it’ cryptocurrency dealing fuels addiction
Noooo ... you can't just make money outside of the inflation-driven fiat system! Crypto is BAD because you'll be an ADDICT! How do people still believe this bullshit or pay any mind the "Guardian"? It's clear and obvious propaganda.
bigyellow··on Omicron at 100% Prevalence, Colorado
How many comorbidity did your "friends without the vaccine" have?
bigyellow··on Omicron at 100% Prevalence, Colorado
Look it up.

> According to an archived version of the dictionary's website, Merriam-Webster formerly said a "vaccine" was "a preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or living fully virulent organisms that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease."

> The new definition of "vaccine", published in May, reads: "a preparation that is administered – as by injection – to stimulate the body's immune response against a specific infectious agent or disease."

A vaccine that doesn't provide immunity - in other words, not a vaccine, but instead of admitting that, let's change the definition.

bigyellow··on Key M1 Mac Engineer Departs Apple for Intel
Okay? Like, why is this even a news story? Are Apple fanboys that desperate for any piece of information about their church they obsess even over individual hiring decisions? I mean, what a weird cult. People leave jobs all the time, especially in SV.
bigyellow··on Ask HN: Why does Cloudflare/hCaptcha care so much about buses, boats and trains?
Because that's what helps train AI to recognize targets (for military and commercial purposes). All captcha is is a free ML training for companies, it has nothing to do with any security.
bigyellow··on Omicron at 100% Prevalence, Colorado
I guess that's why they changed the definition of "vaccine", huh?
bigyellow··on Omicron at 100% Prevalence, Colorado
Anyone who disagrees with vaccine efficacy is a bot? Wow, you sure made a good argument there!
bigyellow··on Tell HN: Salary data is for sale
Hilarious watching (tech-literate even) people lose their mind over this. While they use their iPad/Android to generate a million data points about intimate life details, conversations and locations on a daily basis - no problem! It's only an outrage when someone says it is.
bigyellow··on Ask HN: How do you have fun without alcohol?
I don't. Alcohol is a poison and any adult still drinking it past college years is a fool that's going to end up in an early grave.

There's only one fool in this conversation and it's not me.
bigyellow··on High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions
Prove that sugar causes weight gain or stop responding with nonsense.

Anytime Microsoft does something for "security" you know it's really about control and surveillance.

Not to mention wood fireplaces in the home and the noxious byproducts they produce is likely to shorten your lifespan considerably.
bigyellow··on How to design a house to last 1000 years
Having built my own house, I can definitely say this article is for intellectual stimulation only, and won't result in the construction of an actual home. Not only will you never find contractors and subs that give a shit about this level of detail, but you will struggle explaining these things to permit approvers, county bureaucrats and other people who want to make your life hell because you know more than they do, have more money than them, and are doing something different. Fun article, great information, but won't result in an adobe as planned.
bigyellow··on High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions
Are you talking to yourself now? You're the only one that's posted "made up shit" without citation.
bigyellow··on High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions
Because the burden is on the one making extraordinary claims.
bigyellow··on High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions
It does no such thing and I challenge you again to find any peer-reviewed research NOT funded by animal ag industry that supports your conclusions.
bigyellow··on High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions
Hilarious. That's a "no, I cannot" then.
bigyellow··on High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions
Oversimplified and overdramatized. Sugar does not cause weight gain on its own.
bigyellow··on High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions
Reductionist mentality to something as complex as nutrition could make anything you eat poison.
bigyellow··on High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions
> We’ve since figured out that dietary cholesterol is a much less significant driver of serum cholesterol than one would naively assume.

I challenge you to find any study which supports this conclusion that is not funded by egg industry.

I hope someone else appreciates the ridiculousness of quitting caffeine for health, but gladly accepting an unapproved experimental drug into their body.
bigyellow··on Apple removes references to CSAM from its child safety webpage
LineageOS has near-nightly binary releases, you don't need to build or "redo" anything to keep up to date, other than a 5-10 minute update over adb about once a week.
