Agree with this. Smartphones have enabled profligation of low effort posts and comments, emotional outbursts and mood based content. This sort of direct or indirect attention grabbing content which is more often than…
>"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" - Arthur Clarke I think this would be an interesting place to discuss. When Arthur Clarke made that statement, technology wasnt as ubiquitous as it…
Antibody remembrance comes from memory cells isnt it? I may be wrong.
He's always had that super-aggressive, rude style in discussions. Linus is not a fairy, but he is super smart.
In my country we often joke about how hard it is to find that one "perfect" doctor - knows what he's doing and knows about his strengths and weaknesses, isnt too arrogant or unwilling to accept his own doubts on the…
I think the commenters point was not about people reading articles on the internet and feeling that they've got a better understanding than doctors. It's about medical professionals thinking that they are infallible.
Back in my school days, we used to have lots of poems which would often go on to say that money is the biggest trouble of life, or that money is the biggest corrupter of people's minds, or that money is the root cause…
Maybe that is the downside of the general policy of abstraction that Devs use, that software should be made to look as simple as possible, and all the apparently "unnecessary intricacies"(which could have disastrous…
TikTok feeding us what we apparently value is its biggest danger. When people out of mere curiosity watch something biased/misrepresented/discriminatory/extreme and interact with that content, irrespective of whether…
I pin the blame on too many users joining due to the mass popularisation of Reddit by YouTubers. At one point, almost every "popular" YouTuber seemed to have these "subReddit review" videos going on, which inevitably…
The problem arises when people dont actually say "ignorant racist trash" but have a genuine point of discussion(albeit controversial), but are painted with the same brush as real racists and bigots. Resorting to…
>Setting up your community with specific standards is totally fine imo In some sense I agree, but what happens when these communities begin to overflow with people, and chaos increases? It leads to opinion suppression(…
Very interesting idea. C can still come back and comment the next day/after a fixed time frame. I think it provides a much needed balance between lack of interaction and over interaction. I guess it can prevent…
Very unfortunate. Mud slinging and blame game tactics to prevent neutral discussion are the bane of society.
You think nobody can tap phone records, when you called someone outside India? Oppressive government?
Or a solar flare. Nature's wrath is unimaginable.
This is an excellent point. An AI may be able to do a diagnosis to you, but a doc could do diagnosis+post diagnosis, with the foresight of medical history. Theoretically an AI could possibly do this as well, but we're…
I think proof of ownership and non duplicability arguments apply strongly in the case of something like a Lamborghini( because obviously it has tremendous value) . But I dont really think a digital drawing warrants that…
To be honest, considering currency exchange rates, 140k for a nurse is a GINORMOUS salary in atleast 80% of countries other than the USA. I have tremendous respect for medical professionals , but surely , a nursing…
To be fair, I too have ended up thinking that free will probably does not exist. Yet everyone else and I will always continue to behave and live as if it existed, that is my consolation.
The Hindus as well I believe. Especially within the "Vedanta" school of thought.
In the words of Andy Greenberg, in Sandworm, he says In-Q-Tel is assigned the task of furthering the interests of 3 letter agencies.
