thesis··on About that time I had an outburst during the Y Combinator Interview
For me it was the "fists clenched, looking down, I let out a scream" -- super weird behavior if you ask me.
thesis··on Insider trading by executives is pervasive – research
Let’s play apples to apples at least right? If the president you’re referring to was to do the same exact trades as Pelosi all hell would have broken loose and would have been impeached in the house for a 3rd time.
thesis··on Tesla Q3 2021 Vehicle Production and Deliveries
Isn’t this even more impressive with the current chip shortage affecting every other car manufacturer on the planet?
thesis··on YouTube is banning anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content
So they should be held liable for illegal things posted on their site right?
thesis··on Vaccine experts: Covid-19 booster shots aren't needed now
Yikes. Idiots? All this condescension all the time.

Maybe some people won’t get the vaccine because they already had Covid. Israeli study showed that people who had Covid are more protected than the vaccinated.

thesis··on As a virologist I’m shocked my work has been hijacked by anti-vaxxers
As of August 16, 40% of African Americans were vaccinated.

thesis··on As a virologist I’m shocked my work has been hijacked by anti-vaxxers
Well, you're wrong. It's interesting that you think you know what goes through everyones head.

Just because they were vaccinated as children "without a choice" and refuse a mRNA vaccine does not mean they did not get the flu vaccine, or HPV vaccine, or others later in life when it was their choice.

Stop being so condescending.

thesis··on FDA Approves First Covid-19 Vaccine
Should the flu be mandatory as well? Flu & Covid have similar risks in children: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/flu-vs-covid19.htm https://www.npr.org/2021/05/21/999241558/in-kids-the-risk-of...
thesis··on FCC finally starts tackling America's robocall scourge
It takes me far more time to sort through all the crap I get in my mailbox delivered by USPS. I either don't answer the call, or hang up 5 seconds after answering.

In general I worry that blocking legitimate "robocalls" will make people miss important events. My mortgage company was trying to contact me and the phone was displaying "Spam Likely". Another instance last year was my city sending out an emergency alert for a hurricane.

thesis··on How to bypass Cloudflare bot protection
This seems like the same kind of reason we're not using Cloudflare Access to protect some internal resources.

We'd love to use Argo Tunnel but unfortunately it breaks with an OPTIONS request for us. We've tried opening tickets with Cloudflare.

thesis··on Reddit is banning any Aimee Challenor mention. UK public figure and Reddit admin
My jaw just hit the floor. Wow. Reddit should be ashamed if this is true.
thesis··on Covid herd immunity is probably impossible
Is it possible however they are attributing death counts in 1890 are different than they are today? Maybe if they used the same standards for who dies today that they did in 1890 the n umbers back then could be higher?
thesis··on Wild lynx could be reintroduced into Scottish Highlands
Humans have such a small grasp on this world... it seems most only think in terms of "now" -- Next thing you know people will be trying to reintroduce Wooly Mammoths somehow.
thesis··on Smart Drone Mailbox Secures the Future of “Last Inch” Deliveries
Personally... I want the opposite. I want my own drone that I can send to businesses to do pickups for me. Pharmacies, pizza, etc.
thesis··on Moderna Covid vaccine candidate almost 95% effective, trials show
Why is it dangerous to talk about their experience? Was it anecdotal and dangerous for the OP of the thread to post their experience as well?
thesis··on Moderna Covid vaccine candidate almost 95% effective, trials show
I'll share my experience as well. My wife tested positive after having a slight fever, some body aches, and loss of taste/smell. A few days later I also lost taste / smell but had no other symptoms fortunately. We are both in our late 30's. My children never had any symptoms.
thesis··on US may not be back to normal until 2022, Fauci says
And some people are genuinely happy to shake your hand and greet you. Why only focus on the negative.

With that being said.. don't shake hands if you don't want to.

thesis··on WSL2 – Installation Tutorial for Graphical Windows Subsystem on Linux
Have they fixed the filesystem performance issues yet? My speeds were faster on WSL1

thesis··on Facebook Employees Slam Zuckerberg over Militia Groups and QAnon After Kenosha
Thanks for posting this. I didn't know it was ONLY 12 miles that he drove. Based on the news I thought he went a lot farther.

In regards to the "state lines" ... it's funny when people actually care about "borders".

thesis··on Does Facebook pay Apple 30% of revenue derived from ads made within its iOS app?
It was a consideration to raise prices. We believe it does violate their terms as well. Also it's illegal in some countries.

They wouldn't approve the app with any mention of the site at all.

It's all a load of BS. My Ring app tells me I can only buy it on their site. But since we don't have a lot of "power" we are screwed.

thesis··on Does Facebook pay Apple 30% of revenue derived from ads made within its iOS app?
Psh, screw Apple. They made us remove the .com from anything that said domain.com because it would help users recognize that we have a site that allows purchasing.

We complied of course. :(

thesis··on Samsung researchers build solid-state EV battery with 500-mile range
Comparing in mileage seems terrible to me. Surely Elon could make a 5000 mile range EV with a big enough "battery" right?
thesis··on Facebook takes down Trump ads 'for violating our policy against organized hate'
Do you really think their marketing team does everything in groups of 14s and 88s to keep up with neo-Nazi numerology?
thesis··on Show HN: Make Your PDF Look Scanned
Pretty cool!

What I normally do in a pinch is use Google Drive.. it has a "scan" option that you can take a picture with your phone.

thesis··on Show HN: A Covid-19 testing location site that a group of us are building
Pretty neat seeing which states have the most testing locations. I'm pretty sure Houston has a few testing locations, but nothing is showing up on the map for me currently.

Just some feedback, this runs pretty slowly for me on my laptop. Is the full screen map necessary? Might be nice to have a Google Maps feel where it has the list on the side of the locations currently in view

thesis··on Amazon orders 100K electric delivery trucks from Rivian
They already have this in some areas. Most of our deliveries are directly from Amazon trucks. I'm in a Houston suburb across the city (not in a 1 hour delivery area) from the distribution center. I just started noticing same day deliveries as well.
thesis··on Sinclair Made Dozens of Local News Anchors Recite the Same Script
Replying to Bud on this one... I would certainly do better on my midterms if I know all the questions first.

Just because you've covered the material doesn't mean there's not a distinct advantage in knowing the questions ahead of time.

thesis··on Guccifer 2.0 Slipped Up and Revealed He Was a Russian Intelligence Officer
You can't assert that they were assisted by a foreign government until the investigation is over either... since the extent was unknown aka maybe not at all.
thesis··on FTC Probing Facebook for Use of Personal Data, Source Says
Where can I get my check? Or will the government spend it in my best interest?
