Because they earn well for the UK and living in Europe while earning London tech salaries is pretty dope. You don’t have Uk co workers because they don’t want to leave the country. What’s low paying for you is one of the best paid professions in the Uk.

You cant. You realise that’s just not possible right? Bitcoin is a protocol at this point. That’s like saying “time to shut ftp down”.

Looks very interesting. As a C4D/AE artist I’ve often wondered about having an animation tool for the web. Love this

What!

You can find great storytellers, they'll just take way too long to write the script and there's no certainty that having a great story will make bank anyway. In fact the only correlation the industry knows about films to box office is how much you spend in marketing. The more you spend in marketing, the more box office you tend to have.

Unfortunately I am not kidding. So as long as you have a "passable" story you win.

You should read the book "How Asia Works" which makes the persuasive argument that's the case with every single rising industrial power. They are always considered "cheap knock offs" until they start producing stuff that's higher quality. Happened with Japan too.

You solve this face recognition and ticketing of offenders. The cars have cameras everywhere anyway

Unfortunately even left wing folks in the UK remember that the coal unions shut down the country regularly in the 70s. I’m not from here, but I know a very left wing crowd and the older ones remember how they would dine in candlelight during the big coal strikes. Tatcher was a reaction to this.

You're wrong.

The EU digital certificate is for - you had the vaccine - you had a negative result - you recovered from the virus.

Recovering from the virus gives you 180 days of certification. https://www.sns24.gov.pt/guia/certificado-digital-covid-da-u...

Can you share sources/data?

The fact that Americans are so obese it’s draining down their lifespan in a collective way is still something that sounds worthy of study.

Assume he’s in a EU country/US state with high vaccination rate.

How can it not become law? Is there anyone against it?

Yes! The Apple express speed is phenomenal, it beats anything else I’ve tried. Sometimes I feel like I’ve barely taped my phone and I’m gone.

I’ve heard an interview with the Dir. of Photography of Matrix 1/2/3 and he said the Wachowskis lost their way after 1, changed their entire way of dealing with actors (it shows) and he hated the experience. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t the only one.

Tbh my impression is there was some genius ghost writing done by one or multiple individuals on Matrix 1, which as per Hollywood rule, is never to be acknowledged (this happens all the time). The Wachowskis are now stuck in this weird loop of making films that are not as good as that one while having far more than enough opportunities to do it at this point.

Unfortunately I predict that when we “stop” global warming will likely be when we stop changing the climate (at least in that way).

This is because a lot of rich countries seem to me to be well placed to benefit partially from global climate change at the moment, at least within the 1-2C range. Changing the climate past that point is likely to be controversial, since the countries who now benefit from the situation will likely not want to give those newfound advantages away.

I would think of it a lot as the end result of a war - the borders are defined by where the armies stopped ie the division of Europe and Asia after ww2. After climate change I expect whoever has benefitted from it to defend their position and reject any further alterations!

Please tell me how it’s terrible, Mr Hard Nosed Engineer ?

Exactly. But no one does this. Why?

Do you want me to translate this from Hollywood BS? Hugo probably thinks it’s a stinkerrrr.

I would hope so.

My point about “horse dewormer” is that some articles in the media list it as just that without mentioning at all that it is also human medication. Look at the recent articles about Joe Rogan, they couldn’t stop themselves.

Afaik the only difference between human and animal ivm are levels of impurity.

I believe ivermectin is a far safer drug than HCQ.

I never said anything of the sort.

I’m super into crypto, but I don’t see how this will help anyone in Salvador at all. In fact it seems to me that it will likely just aid corrupt elements in the country. I just can’t think of a reason for them to do this.

The current “ivermectin is a dangerous horse dewormer” debacle has been the biggest example of a moment where I’m not sure whether everyone is lying at this point. YouTube censored a few videos with actual experts and doctors who were discussing ivm.

Yes we had issues with HCQ in the beginning, but ivm is being actually studied right now by Oxford Uni/NHS in their big covid trials in the UK… it’s amazing what a hit job the media is doing on it.

Im not sure we’ll “go back” to the happy days anymore. Even with booster shots my impression is we have a deadly disease that’s here to stay. But people lived with constant plague for hundreds of years, we just convinced ourselves we’d “left that behind” and that might not be true anymore. HIV and COVID demonstrate modern plagues can still come and overwhelm us.

No one ever went back to pre-HIV, we still use condoms. We just don’t let people die of it quite so easily anymore. But there was never a moment where HIV has stopped being a problem or having ended the possibility of non-deadly unprotected sex. Maybe COVID is the same - we will remember the pre COVID days as this wonderful time where we didn’t have to shoot RNA onto our arms every six months.

Sure and Israel is doing booster shots and it’s working. Your point being?

Covid is a new “flu” type endemic disease. We’ll manage it, hopefully.

Obesity is a similar scourge, albeit it was not completely caused by misinformation.

Tbh I now see our society as a memetic organism and I think the cleansing of people who don’t understand reality is just a part of the process at this point.

Is it fair to call it an ML based system?

Again, depends on age, condition. I'm currently fighting long COVID symptoms that have showed up after vaccination. I never had COVID, but the vaccine has given me - chronic fatigue - chronic headaches - brain fog. From JJ vaccine.

If you look into the Australia, Canada and Norway data you see that the numbers are higher than initially expected. Serious side effects like TTS were thought to happen around 1 in 100k, but they now think it would be something like 1 in 20 000. Perhaps less, if you account for people that don't even realise they're getting it.

The vaccine are something like 5x reduction in mortality, but they are not perfect.

I’ve said this before - the Telegraph is not to be trusted with “news”, it is a propaganda outlet.

Double and triple check everything they say. Do not trust.

This was always the case!
