Disagreement is built into the scientific method. I’m always open to shifting my opinion should the data change, but currently the overwhelming data is showing vaccines, including the Covid 19 vaccine, to be safe and effective on a grand scale when it comes to positive health outcomes for a population vs the control group. Edward Jenner faced the same uphill challenges explaining it to people hundreds of years ago when he created the first vaccine though so I suppose it makes sense the debate is still around. Personally I think that science should invite skeptism at large scale but I just don’t think there’s any place for fighting against expert opinion and agreement when the vast majority of data provides proof for it. I understand the choice in vaccination and vaccination opinion often feels like a very personal one and It’s odd, because I think a lot of people would probably tell you vaccines are only good so perhaps you feel lied to there… And truth be told, they kill people occasionally. I hate saying that’s an unfortunate reality of life, but the more unfortunate reality is that greater numbers would die or experience potentially extreme health complications without them based on all evidence we have gathered to this point and historically. In an ideal world we’d be past this point and it would be a perfect or entirely unnecessary technology, but we must make due with what we have in the face of things we cannot at this point reasonably control such as viruses.

It’s a lot easier of a choice now that it’s endemic and there are drugs, but long term complications are still common with Covid so it’s more of a gamble than the vaccine. You’re also not reading it correctly but I don’t really care to explain risk factors to you.
There’s enough time passed to show that if you catch the virus you have a significantly increased risk of all long term complications vs the vaccine. Again just look up the statistics and research. The primary field I’m aware of is heart complications where those who have taken the vaccine show double digit reductions in long term heart complications vs those who have not. Arstechnica.com has a good write up on it that I have linked below, but basically every legitimate peer reviewed study is fairly aligned on the health outcomes of the vaccine being positive stacked against the virus in wide populations. You, as an individual, do not get to choose if you live in a population so your personal assessed risk factor does not really matter because it’s entirely subjective and based on things you cannot measure.
The issue is you’re comparing a small manageable risk to a significant unmanageable one. The data is in. The time has passed. You had the potential to be somewhat correct once, but with millions of doses of the vaccine now distributed we now have overwhelming evidence that it leads to more positive health outcomes vs contracting the virus. A short search of academic studies will provide you significant data in this regard should you wish you validate.

So many things shouldn’t have copyright protection in the first place. Code is up there on the list imo. Patents as well for that measure. You likely benefit from millions of cases of both infringement and design “theft” but it legitimately just stiffles industry, keeps the lawyers rich, and usually leaves the indie industry competitive only by the graces of a monopolistic capitalist body hoping to hold up straw man examples.

I don’t know if it’s on the icon, I believe you have to use the cli “tailscale status” to view your tailnet nodes connection types
Is it possible you misconfigured your tailnet and instead of using a direct connection to your local subnet router you were using an ethereal port via a DERP relay? You can read into it more on tailscales documentation, but essentially you need to leave UPD inbound port 41641 open to your subnet router inbound from WAN.
Tailscale, headscale, or something along those lines may help optimize the route but as others have said to resolve this is an actual fashion you’d need a cdn which requires significant geo-redundant hardware which comes at a pretty significant cost. That being said I think your friend has a good shot if you implement the former.
And definitely!
2·1 year agoMy reponse has always been “If that’s the case, why make it appear as though it’s suffering to us?” And they usually respond with some level of “it’s a test”. Personally I think it’s just a wild set of mental loopholes they engage with to justify not feeling any guilt or reverance for the creatures they are consuming but I genuinely don’t know.
“God created all for us to enjoy. Why would he instill within it the sense of self with which to suffer?” Is a paraphrased response I’ve received when posing this question to a few friends.
Since you clearly plan on keeping this equipment for the long-term, you may be better served by a newer lower power option that will likely be more performant for less long term cost.
If you equated stop destroying the planet with stopping space development, that’s on you. I clarified my stance in a comment below it minutes later.
I take offense to you and people like you thinking space is habitable or easy instead of insanely environmentally challenging, unknown, and complex. Seeing it as an escape instead of the immense and violent challenge it is. It’s disrespectful to both life and the accomplishments of those before you.
So yes, you are deranged. I’ve not attempted any gaslighting. You continue to argue with yourself, ignore nuances, and call my logic faulty when it’s not. You hand wave immense complexities of shit you **do not understand ** just because you’ve seemingly read the wiki on it. It’s astounding. You even think space is habitable, which it is undebatbly at this time, not, and that’s before comparing it to our immeasurably more habitable planet. The frustration I experience reading the shit you post is from this inherent fallacy you’ve attached yourself to. I even agreed with the immense increase in space funding you asked for, explicitly, and yet you seemingly doubt my alignment to continued scientific development.
You’re strawman arguing with yourself. Nowhere, not once, have I stated we shouldn’t. I’ve only stated the true, which is space is not habitable for humans. Perhaps your uninformed as to what habitable means. Perhaps your deranged. I’ve no clue. But if you continue, I just want you to know, you’re arguing with yourself.
You’re one of the people I hate when it comes to this. You see insane engineering challenges as just easy because thousands of very clever engineers have already spent billions and their lifetimes working it out for you, but you’re so far from actually understanding the science and challenges in their full depth. Nobody has lived in space for 25 years. No human has been raised in space. These challenges are not just from 0g and your theoretical radiation shielding has not been proven nor is it just as easy as “surround yourself with your water supply”. None. Of. Space. Is. Easy. Living on this planet is as easy as being born. If it wasn’t for millions of people constantly working to feed the societial machine that let’s us even have a few people in orbit at a time, with constant launches to resupply, as well as other considerations, it would be impossible. Even the iss you mention is being deorbited in 2027 because it’s not long-term sustainable and has developed untraceable leaks. I cannot believe how easy you think it is. You’re hopelessly lost in the sauce there buddy.
“I disagree completely” with a statement that’s never been disproven in the entire existence of our species?.. This is literally an article about long term astronauts suffering a serious medical complication, and that’s not even a lifetime up there. You think we could have a baby and raise it in orbit? You understand the radiation shielding isn’t perfect? You understand there are unexplained medical complications in bone density, muscle density, and heart function for returning astronauts? You understand that new bacterial and microbial colonies have manifested in the iss and we don’t know anything about the long-term effects that will have?
“Energy is easier in space”
Alright, here you’re just brazenly wrong. Energy is so so much more difficult in space due to the vacuum. Managing thermal effects is exponentially more difficult, and it’s not as easy as just “slap some solar panels up” are you even familiar with the failure rate of solar panels due to space debris? Even the smallest of micro debris can pick up significant momentum with no atmospheric drag and slight gravitational acceleration.
The budget is one thing we agree on. We spend vastly more than that on yachts so it’s not even an issue. I don’t believe you have any idea how difficult space really is though, and I encourage you to study it further because it’s not the escape you hope it will be. Not in our lifetimes. Not without a miracle.
As always in life it’s a little column a and b. I think what they’re trying to get at is that this doesn’t save any economic productivity in the long run and runs counter to the traditional “principles” of capitalism.
