How can we be sure they’re not counterfeit?
How do you know this is safe?
I was banned from r/neoliberal for sharing this.
“Spreading dangerous medical information”
Even with a Harvard professor as an author?
How often do scholars of such prominence promote dangerous pseudoscience?
Thanks for writing this. I am interested in this sort of thing.
Sometimes I hear people say expenses tend to be more. To what degree is this generalizable?
>The charity that there is room for is along the lines of “Maybe the line about misinformation was an uncharitable paraphrase rather than a direct quote”
For what it’s worth, it was a direct quote, and the entirety of the ban message, other than a link to the comment.
Hi, I’m new here. Thanks for doing this.
First of all, what are your rules? I notice it says here, “Norm Enforcing—I try to enforce particular rules”, but with no elaboration.
Anyway, I was wondering about rapid testing. Isn’t it rather inaccurate?
Thanks. : )
What do you think of the John Hopkins tracker?
Examples of “Free, safe, not open” would be private communities, such as the r/Lawyers subreddit, where only actual lawyers are granted access.
Interesting. Care to elaborate? Why don’t more people do this?
“Can anyone think of an example of where such information was created, and the government was respectful of our rights and didn’t check it whenever they felt like it? Anyone?”
I’m not sure if this is exactly the sort of example you’re looking for, but if I recall, the Census Bureau refused to divulge personal information to the President, even when federal agents showed up at their office and threatened to arrest them. I may be misremembering though, because now I can’t find the story with a quick search. Perhaps someone else knows what I’m talking about.
Found it.

“1980: Armed with a search warrant authorizing them to seize census documents, four FBI agents enter the Census Bureau’s Colorado Springs office. No confidential information is ever released because a census worker holds off the agents until her superiors resolve the issue with the FBI.”
It’s a cool idea, but the network effect is an unfortunate obstacle.
It could very well be useful for that, but most people want to reach a larger audience when asking questions.
As a neoliberal, I love this.
I bet the only problems would be practical.
I think if there’s so much unrest that you’d need a gun, you’d be better off investigating how to safely move yourself and your assets abroad.
Thanks for this.
I wonder how common these misconceptions are among the public.
