<p>if you could press a button that would return all hostages but at the cost of 276 Palestinian civilians per hostage recovered, you would do it.<p>Just pointed it out for the normal folks here. Israelis are pretty radicalized.</p>

<p>They're not removing propaganda only, they are also censoring pro Palestinian views in order to better enable their own propaganda.<p>Do not see how this shadow group of techies forcing their views on the world can be seen as a good thing.</p>

<p>It's because children are by definition blameless, innocent actors.<p>It's impossible for a 5 year old to do evil, so it's universally agreed that even 1 child dying in a war is too many.<p>At least that used to be the case before this conflict.</p>

<p>Your goal shouldnt be to work at at an early startup. As you mentioned it's not worth it.<p>Your goal is to be a founder at a startup, and for all of people's claims that startup success is entirely luck that is not true.<p>Luck certainly plays a role, hell being in the position to choose between being a founder vs employee of someone else startup requires incredible luck, on a global scale.<p>But, me and you, the privileged 0.1% of the world, are masters of our destiny. To claim otherwise is to accept mediocrity as inevitable and not the consequences of our decisions.</p>

<p>Disclaimer, I'm all for stopping climate change and think it's the biggest issue facing our generation.<p>But nothing indicates non runaway climate change is an existential level event for humanity. Nothing.<p>By comparing it to asteroids, and then 10, 20, 30 years in the future, when what happens is nowhere near to the complete eradication of all humans on earth that you are predicting with this comparison, why are you surprised that people don't take activists and scientists seriously.<p>Stop with the hyperbole. Stick with the facts and only the facts and you may notice that we will have more support then ever in the fight against climate change.</p>

<p>You mentioned that you can optimize which investments get solds. Assuming my risk tolerance is fine with stock index funds,  what happens if I want to withdraw, say 1/2 of my portfolio but the S/P 500 is down 20% (aka March 2020 withdrawal).<p>Would this go through and the customer loses 10% of their account value or will you guys stop such a withdrawal.</p>

<p>For certain populations (ie young women) the risks from AstraZeneca vaccine outweigh the risks from covid.<p>Old people shouldnt be scared yes, but young people should approach it with caution. And isn't that what the government is saying anyways- confirm with doctor and then get it?</p>

<p>The issue with claiming that the pandemic caused these extra deaths is that we don't know if it did.this is because the reactions to covid (lockdown) could have just as easily impacted people dying.<p>It's not so simple so as to attribute all excess mortality to covid.</p>

<p>They addressed this in the paper by making the change small (5 lines). Obvsiously time is still wasted, but the team felt that the research warranted it. This is up to debate and should not be used solely as a reason to crucify them.</p>

<p>Does nobody here even understand what actually happened?<p>Really losing my faith in the accuracy of HN if such a huge thread is full of misinformation.<p>Basically (as I understand it, feel free to correct me) this is what happened:<p>Researcher emailed maintained with flawed code, maintainer LGTMed it, researcher told maintainer that the code is buggy and not to merge it. The researchers confirmed that the code was not merged or commited anywhere. Paper gets published. Nothing of note happens.<p>Now, one of the researchers grad students has submitted stuff to linux oh his own volition- he does not appear to be associated with the previous research. These commits are "obviously bad" according to linux maintainers and claim that the grad student is just continuing the "merge bad shit" research. These commits do not appear to be intentionally flawed but rather newbie mistakes (so claims the student)- which is why he feels the linux community is unwelcoming to newcomers.<p>Now how on earth did that warp to whatever everyone here is smoking?</p>
