> Anecdotal stories of people feeling better only eating meat aren’t useful for the discussion.

That's where we disagree. I think they are because I think we underestimate the differences between people.

> Besides, even if we accept your premise that nutritional data are unhelpful in understanding the effectiveness of any diet, this can said of both plant-based and carnist diets, meaning we can’t say one or the other is better, or worse, or more or less nutritious.

Again I disagree. My conclusion is that everyone should experiment with different kinds of diet and see what works. We may not know at the humanity level, but we can learn more at the individual level.

> In that case, I think we should then choose the diet which we definitively know causes the least suffering.

I don't agree with your premise (or maybe put individual suffering of humans at a higher level than animals), but I do agree with your conclusions. I don't know if you count climate impact in "suffering" in general but that's a good argument for veganism too.

> I have no reason whatsoever to believe that someone feeling good on a carnist diet but bad on a plant based diet is anything other than not knowing how to have a balanced plant based diet, which is easy to do when armed with the knowledge.

I think that's shortsighted of you for two reasons. First, as I said, I think you underestimate the individual variations between people. Second, considering how many people suffer from obesity in America, I don't agree that having a balanced diet, be it plant based or anything else, is easy.

From Wikipedia's article on NPOV:

>Neutrality requires that mainspace articles and pages fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources Giving due weight and avoiding giving undue weight means articles should not give minority views or aspects as much of or as detailed a description as more widely held views or widely supported aspects. Generally, the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all, except perhaps in a "see also" to an article about those specific views. For example, the article on the Earth does not directly mention modern support for the flat Earth concept, the view of a distinct (and minuscule) minority; to do so would give undue weight to it.

The author goes on to complain that extreme minority views on "mask efficacy" and "vaccine side effects" are not adequately represented.

Wikipedia definitely has a left/liberal bias, but it's not entirely without merit. "Conservative" views are increasingly minority views, as evidenced by the their figurehead never once having majority approval in four years (barring outlier polls) and dropping to an average of below 40% [1]. Support for the various fringe beliefs regarding covid-19 are even lower, if Fauci's approval ratings are anything to go by. Considering between 4 and 10 percent of people lean towards belief in a flat Earth, the canonical example of a tiny minority opinion, the bar increasingly close.

I'm using neovim with Coc (often does not work as I want it to) and ALE and friends, and it's getting sort of frustrating.
It's lots of fiddling with the vimrc, each year a new better extension that I can never make work, etc.
What I'd like is some editor that integrates LSP, treesitter, FZF and friends so I don't have to configure everything, while still having the modal+command model of vim.
Recently there was an editor that seemed to fit the bill (I think called Hex), but it seems those "keyboard oriented" editors are more usually "american keyboard oriented", in that the bindings don't make sense for non qwerty keyboards, and remapping everything is frustrating.
Essentially, I think I want an full-featured IDE with vim's extensibility and modal approach.

What's the solution?
Why? Works ok in Australia.
I feel like you're trying to hedge the argument and being fair to both sides but honestly one side is wrong and you're just going to have to decide which one it is.
I'm kind of curious though - what can you do as a non-technical user to prevent this? Let's say you're on shared hosting - you don't know what object storage is, and you upload your PHP themes via FTP (or at best, FTP+implicit SSL, but the default is plaintext).

Your backup is probably downloading something over FTP, or creating a backup in cPanel/DirectAdmin/whatever shared hosting panel.

Your host doesn't allow SSH. This is the hypermajority of shared hosting.

(My apologies, I didn't mean that directed toward you, it was more of a general "this is HN, not everybody will self host GPG backups on immutable redundant cloud storage")

The same issue is with houses, and the bigger the house the bigger the issues can be. For a big condo complex, if a problem is truly big, the association can do a bond offering that can be paid off over a very long time (decades).
I feel this is a false dichotomy. If we really stop breeding pets, and do this consequently and with an honest effort, this will become a non-issue in, like, 10 years.
Yes, but when the insurance company controls the appeals process, they will likely deny it.
There are HMOs, like Kaiser, that solve most of these problems. Unless I'm traveling, I would never have to worry about such extraneous bills. However, for any particular serious condition a particular HMO might not have the top-rated team in the country. This unreasonable fear is used by non-HMO insurance networks to draw customers.

Perhaps what we need is something like the WTO's most-favored-nation rule for domestic insurers, but imposed statutorily. If you're treating an out-of-network patient extemporaneously, you can only charge that person's insurer at the lowest rate you'd charge an in-network provider.

This would remove the incentive for out-of-network providers to eagerly provide many services. That has its own downsides, of course, but it might help to resolve many of these billing nightmares.

But, heck, maybe something like that already exists. Obamacare (aka ACA) comprehensively thought through many of these dilemmas. But enforcement has been gutted by the GOP.

> Therefore, it is unfair to suggest that an individual who sees themselves as low risk to COVID, and potentially exposing themselves to a yet-to-be-fully-understood drug, does not have a valid dilemma in the choice around vaccines.

Especially if the person has already had Covid, since natural immunity is arguably comparable to vaccine protection, and vaccine side-effects are arguably more pronounced in those who have already had the infection.
probability of death of an individual is under 100%, as not everyone is dead yet.

Sure that's the theme. A theme that's intertwined with Marxist meta-narratives. Like I said, performative contradiction.

Internet stranger trying to appeal to his own authority. Great argument

There's nothing wrong with it. It's in the context of Marxist meta-narratives that it becomes toxic.
Is that true if you use code transparency signing key?

It's not enabled by default, you have to install language servers and turn them on one by one.

And given the extensible core of neovim, if a better LSP-like system comes along someone will build a plugin to integrate it. Before this native LSP support there was (and still is) an excellent vim/neovim addon coc.nvim that adds LSP support using nodejs as a process manager for example.

LSP is very anti-monolith by design. Each language has its own little microservice LSP server that communicates to the editor using json-rpc. Everything can be swapped out and replaced dynamically--nothing is linked together or a direct dependency.
>Rinse and repeat. Don’t waste cycles on the emotions of having problems.
>
>(not saying that emotions don’t matter, often times they distract one from making progress)

You got it, but then you missed it.

Every single one of those great, useful, true steps is hindered by emotions. There are well-known cognitive biases and behavioral patterns (Dunning-Kreuger, Motivated Reasoning, Confirmation Bias, Learned Helplessness) that will affect your outcome while trying to conquer each of these steps. These aren't bad per-say, but a result of our biology and millions of years of evolution. If I were wagering on my own arrogantly assumed competence vs. my evolved biology.... man, I'm putting it all on Red.

It is such great advice that, as you correctly state, "[Emotions] often times distract one from making progress" but this is not easy to achieve, an obvious course of action, and it feels wrong when you're in it. Even if someone told you and you believe them.

Take a contrived example--PTSD. In WWI this was called "Shell Shock", and a lot of people up until yesterday and beyond are still smacking people on the back, giving the misguided, but sincere pep talk: "Walk it off, kid! Power through it! Get ahold of yourself! What's wrong with you? Why can't you take the win?"

The truth of the matter is that the solution is obvious, but even if something is obvious, easy, and effective, people often simply require someone to tell them the answer and more than that, be trusted enough to let them coach them through it. Once you know, maybe it really is easy, maybe it still takes a lot of work, luck, perhaps counseling or therapy (EMDR therapy sounds like bullshit but it sure is real)
If this is significant, then maybe one should refrain from keeping a phone near testicles for a month or two before using those testicles for procreation. Otherwise, not terribly relevant to behavior.
"long-term profit" is the long-term financial returns to shareholders -- and corporate philanthropy is generally held to be justified in B-school circles only in so far as it builds up marketable goodwill (again, adding shareholder value), not for its own sake.
That's actually a perfect example. Any problem that involves cards assumes you know what cards are, what the suits are, how many of each there are, etc. That's cultural knowledge not everyone has, and often breaks down by race.

So yes, you could learn it, but the kids who grew up playing cards with their family have a distinct advantage on that question.
You're calling him a liar, but the Reddit link even contains a link to citations as far back as 1996 that seems to substantiate that he has been very involved with the technologies used to create the mRNA technique for the vaccines. Ad hominem attacks are not helpful in validating the point in question or the person's character. I don't know your qualifications, but he does seem to have the qualifications and a trail of citations that deserve more scrutiny before passing judgement.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US5589466A/en

An excerpt from the 1996 patent by Robert Malone and others:

"The present invention relates to introduction of naked DNA and RNA sequences into a vertebrate to achieve controlled expression of a polypeptide. It is useful in gene therapy, vaccination, and any therapeutic situation in which a polypeptide should be administered to cells in vivo."

[EDIT - added summary from above patent for more reference] - SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a method for delivering a pharmaceutical or immunogenic polypeptide to the interior of a cell of a vertebrate in vivo, comprising the step of introducing a preparation comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable injectable carrier and a naked polynucleotide operatively coding for the polypeptide into the interstitial space of a tissue comprising the cell, whereby the naked polynucleotide is taken up into the interior of the cell and has an immunogenic or pharmacological effect on the vertebrate.
If you view life as a series of problems to be solved, then life will become a bleak series of problems needing to be solved. The approach outlined in the parent comment here would fail to solve any essential human needs beyond a few of the most basic ones. Finding purpose, not burning out, nurturing family, communicating with others- even in professional settings- and so many other parts of being human require us to engage emotionally.
> At what cost to others?

Assuming nothing else changes, it'll about double the cost of what people pay now for private insurance (in terms of taxes).

However, there's no reason to assume nothing else changes. The US spends an atrocious amount on the overhead of bookkeeping our "free-market" semi-adversarial healthcare system. Estimates over the past 22 years range from 13 to 25% of the cost is raw administration. Assume most of that cost goes away (let's say 90%, which seems fair) and you're left with Americans paying about $250-400 a month more on average in taxes for healthcare than what is paid now.

Since it's taxes, the progressive tax rate would kick in and this would translate overall to most Americans paying almost nothing more, the middle class getting squeezed (this could be ameliorated with laws, but if nothing else changes the middle class gets squeezed), and the wealthy and super-wealthy shouldering the bulk of the cost.

We are also far more closely related to Neanderthals than to chimps. Also it’s not like there’s any correlation between % Neanderthal DNA and physical strength.

> We have literally no idea what kind of a morality the vast majority of people who have ever lived subscribed to.

Human beings have consistent morality, in many ways, across space and time. As the GP pointed out, look at all the religions and cultural rules against the same things and encouraging the same things, such as not harming others and respecting your parents. There are differences also, but the extreme relativism is plainly false.
There's other little changes. You used to be able to install and use GDB and debug stuff without doing anything. Now you need to dick around with certificates and code signing to get it to work. I never could despite following different sets of instructions to the letter multiple times because of some bug. I gave up and switched to the built in lldb as that worked at least. I think in Catalina or Big Sur they made another change, hardened runtimes, so now if I need to upgrade R I have to install it like it's 1985 and extract a tarball in root. It's shit. Every single version they seem to do something where I need to waste time tracking down some workaround to deal with "security".

I'm tired of granting every other app accessibility permissions for reasons I'm not even sure of, tired of having to grant access to my documents. It's just endless hassle and I don't feel like I'm actually safer. Every new version seems to bring something like this.
I think public hiring challenges like this are less of a barrier that filters out candidates, and more of an attractor that increases the number of applicants by "nerd sniping" people.

> I would suspect that UPS and the other major carriers have optimized this task to death.

In the end a great deal of it comes down to volume per delivery location. If UPS is delivering 1 package per day per location, there's nothing they can do to optimize (except skip locations certain days, which nobody wants). It sucks for them.

Then Amazon comes along with 5 packages per day per location, and it changes the economics completely. By 200-300% is not unreasonable at all.

There's a fact that blew my mind when I first learned it -- that apparently UPS actually loses money delivering packages for Amazon, but makes more profit in the end because the added scale makes it even cheaper to deliver packages for other people. E.g., if it's already dropping off an Amazon package at a location, then it's suddenly much cheaper to drop off the non-Amazon package at the same time.

Yeah, the excellent open core is the #1 reason I evangelize for Gitlab to colleagues as well. It's a guarantee that even if Gitlab turns fully user-hostile tomorrow (which I do not expect at all, but just saying, worst case), we can carry on unaffected on the self-hosted open core, which will doubtless be carried on by someone else in that eventuality.

Plus, the scope of its features is incredible. My team uses the community edition and our peer teams use a different stack of three different licensed proprietary vendors just to do the same thing we're able to do on the open core. I had a funny conversation the other day where someone from those teams was looking at buying a license for a new package management system. When I pointed out Gitlab could do what he needed, he said, "Yeah, but we already have these other two vendors for source control and CI". To which I thought, "Sure, so you could drop both of them, too."

But I can appreciate once a team's built momentum on one stack, interrupting that is probably usually more trouble than it's worth.
A lot of US policies were shaped by former Nazis. US healthcare and drug laws are just disguised eugenics. I am glad it is slowly being reversed.
It's straight up not possible to be an informed consumer in the US and avoid this stuff when it comes to health insurance.

There's no market of rational decision makers, no choices you can make and really know the outcome when it comes to health insurance.

My health insurance is pretty good and yet they randomly send me letters saying that they think the procedure should be covered by some other insurance they THINK I might have.

In the meantime they stop covering things and the providers send me bills with no health insurance coverage ....

They do this about every 18 months, I think hoping I just pay the bills and not notice.

False. It could very well turn out that mRNA vaccines specifically have long term side effects with other medications or underlying conditions we do not yet understand, which would, for example, warrant the choice of not using them in children, who present low risk to COVID. This may not mean not vaccinating overall, but it could determine which vaccine to choose from the selection of mechanisms. Not mRNA vaccines in general, but this specific mRNA vaccine, which causes your body to synthesize this specific protein.

edit to respond to your deleted comment: the falsifiable claim you made is that one side is right and the other is wrong, when it could be both sides are wrong for different reasons. and I was eagerly vaccinated in February, given COVID was plausibly a life-threatening illness to me given underlying lung damage.
