If Himars count as missile trucks then they do. Sometimes they just park one on a ship deck

Does the US do that? I only recall hearing about that kind of shenanigan from Ukraine.

Eh, I think the distinction is broken tool vs improper use of the tool or in this case, the wrong tool all together


Dude chill. It's an air-conditioned room with desks and a coffee machine, not a cotton field.

Some people like having an office.

I could call someone like you a hyper dramatic agoraphobic socially inept recluse over a simple posted opinion but that wouldn't be kind,fair, or mature


> It's an air-conditioned room with desks and a coffee machine, not a cotton field.

It's a huge open space filled with stale, stinky, dry office air, obnoxious people and dirt. Conditions are not cotton field or not cotton field, only serfs think like that.

Projecting much? My home setup costs costs more than half of that "office" combined, and that's just my room.

Do you seriously think I want to kill my back, my eyes and my attention for 40 hours a week when I can comfortably work at home and be much more productive instead of playing clown because some bubs can't tolerate working without distracting another person for 5 minutes?


Really wish we could push this discourse off HN and back to bsky


That irritation you feel is your conscience/soul. Try saying hi.


Welcome to the other side of your propaganda bubble.


Covid was literally 10x more dangerous than the vaccine for those without comorbidities, but it's played out now. The vaccine is about as effective as a flu jab.


This seems like a bad way to phrase it. The vaccine is certainly a lot (many orders of magnitude) less dangerous than just 0.1x as dangerous as COVID. Maybe you wanted to say that the risks from COVID are only 10x more without vaccination than with it due to limited effectiveness of the vaccine?


yeah the 10x was just myocarditis.

I've discounted the other effects as they were generally associated with comorbidities (lung scaring was a % of hospitalized people).

I've also discounted long-covid because of comorbidities, self-reporting bias, nocebo effective, and depression/anxiety overlap. Yes I know its still real, but the true rates are difficult to know.

Edit: I should have factored clotting as well


Myocarditis from the is usually mild while myocarditis from COVID may have worse outcomes. And for myocarditis, the 10x would apply only for a specific age group and males, and not overall.


friend of mine (early 20s) got his atp production severely damaged (not annihilated but way less than normal).

he can't really use stairs, or walk a long time, etc. he sleeps a lot, and basically can't be active for a long time anymore. his reaction time also worsened apparently (used to be ridiculously fast).

hospital folks (in 2 different countries) directly linked it to the vaccine.

so yeah it's rare but it can get really bad...


I wonder why they blamed the vaccine?


unfortunately i don't know.


I believe if you wait X seconds it puts the call through


> Do you have examples of any countries having successfully done what you are proposing?

France pre 21st century, China, Korea, Poland.


South Korea had a massive corruption scandal. I guess it takes cheating to deliver?

China is barely building nuclear power. In terms of their grid mix it is backsliding.

Poland haven’t built any so noconfirmed numbers yet?


Since when does Poland have a significant nuclear power generation program?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Poland


Does anyone have actual numbers on what France’s nuclear fleet cost? I thought it was somewhat shrouded in mystery due to government and national security subsidies.


> national security subsidies.

The bit they always say quietly is that you need nuclear reactors to provide the material for nuclear weapons.


It isn't hypothetical, lower disruptive peer-behaviour in a class is associated with better outcomes for the class, across the world.


and the montessori method is effective in lowering disruptive peer-behaviour. it's part of the point. it teaches children to not be disruptive by letting them focus on their activities.


That's not what was proposed though, what was proposed was to have kids move up as their ability develops.

It's pure hypothesis that this would coincide with less disruption in classes, even more that it would be causative.

I also find it purely hypothetical that it does anything to make kids better.

You said lack of disruptiveness is associated with better outcomes, have any research or data about it? Otherwise it too is pure hypothetical.

A hypothesis isn't bad, but since we're on the topic of ability, let's not devolve into cargo cults.


> Otherwise it too is pure hypothetical.

You could spend 2 minutes googling to see it's a well known / understood phenomenon. I would also argue it's common sense. Ask a teacher.

https://ideas.repec.org/r/wil/wilehe/52.html


These type of studies trot the line of cargo cult though. Incredibly small effects, weak causation, full of possible confounders.

I'm not going to say being in a class where you are trying to pay attention and others are being very disruptive, and interrupt the lesson is enjoyable, it's annoying, but if you take even the studies you link, say the second link, it finds a 2% correlated effect, that is peers had scores 0.02 times lower than the standard deviation.

So if we were to change and group kids based on disruptiveness, instead of a 80% test core, your kid would have a 79.7% test score...

Now before you respond to this, I want to reiterate the point of my argument, that none of these ideas focus on actual teaching method improvements. How do you take a child at any level, and more effectively teach them so they learn faster and improve their intelligence and knowledge.

These alternatives, grouped by disruptiveness, grouped by current abilities, etc. they don't really change the pedagogy, just the environment. It seems their known effects are really small, and the effect on the average are not known.

So I'm not against them, as just from a pure setup they seem more appropriate, but it seems unlilely to result in much improvement learning wise, the kind that I'd be interested in.


> Less of it is not bad.

Many men would disagree. Many women would also disagree.

Edit: I also thought that immutable characteristics where the ones we should be most sensitive towards


Post labour is still resource constrained.

How do you efficiently allocate resources? Especially when you have a wide spectrum of preferences.

I think if you spent long enough thinking about that problem you'd just end up inventing money. You'd have to call it something else so it sounded rebelliously anti-capitalist though
