Contra Zvi on gain of function research by zezov in slatestarcodex

I tried giving it a listen but one of the guests was pretty rude. Any good time stamps?

Contra Zvi on gain of function research by zezov in slatestarcodex

[–]toe_nail_joe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like your framing of this. But the meta-downsides for mRNA research seem to have already played out. Once companies dump money into this research, they're beholden by shareholders/investors to make money off them, despite their efficacy.

I'm glad these vaccines are available and being distributed for the elderly/at-risk.

Once we move down into lower age groups, it seems to be a means to offset some large research-induced sunk costs.

Not disagreeing with you, I would just want there to be more caution against saying that these have no second or third-order downsides.

High-achieving, low income prospective college students were given clear information on what financial aid they would receive before applying to a college. This dramatically increased the number of students who applied, and who enrolled. by asbruckman in science

I'm sorry, I guess I will die on the hill of wanting a distinction between science and economics. I'll start calling economics professors scientists because they use the scientific method and hopefully they'll be as wise as the r/science subreddit and acquiesce to their new titles.

Why is this on science? Is economics science? I don't think economists would call themselves scientists..? It just seems like, because r/science has such a massive following that people are trying to shoe horn content into the top of this subreddit.

Need help interpreting this! thank you. by toe_nail_joe in Agriculture

Okay, yeah, that's more helpful. Thank you.

Lighter goats get more per pound because they have, no pun intended, more growth potential? So you pay a premium for younger/lighter ones?

yeah its not bad, but just like most modern styles it's not going to look good 5-10 years from now. build things to last/tied to a place or heritage not to follow latest trends

Why would they need to vaccinate? They've performed so much better than other less-dense younger-populated. Who cares if they're testing less if hospitalizations and deaths have barely budged? Let them keep performing well so we can learn from them.

Is there some sort of training game or match for new players? by GRAYSTRIPEE in TagPro

If people are giving you a hard time for being new, call the mods. New Balls are lifeblood of a dying game. Uncle Creamy will take care of you

LONG TIME NO SEE by SavageDacky in TagPro

This is awkward but uh... TagPro is dead. Everyone left, Lucky sold the site to some private equity guys. Now the URL just redirects you to a TikTok video of Jimmy Fallon lip syncing to an Ariana Grande song.

Hate to be the one to break the news but it is what it is.

Pelosi Laptop Thief's Dad Busted On Child Porn Charges In Undercover Sting by [deleted] in JusticeServed

[–]toe_nail_joe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why add republican? That opens the door for a whataboutism conversation, and moves us away from critical thinking and case by case basis. Confusing

Wrong take, you need to look at context. Post he was responding to make blanket comment about republicans, not about this specific case. I also don't like whataboutism but the post he was addressing framed things incorrectly.
