Reasoning from first-principles:

Autism is a neurological disorder where you have more island neurons than long reaching connected neurons.

Vaccines can't cross the blood brain barrier, thereby they can't cause autism. Simply ruled out. Acetaminophen on the other hand is a drug that numbs the brain. It can at least feasibly have an influence.

Next, let's think about painkillers. They numb pain. Pain is linked to far reaching memories and connections. Again, plausible.

Sometimes a crazy man says something true.

I would like to buy one for my company without prescription glasses. For employees with vision impairment, contact lenses are the preferred option. Do contact lenses work with the apple vision pro? Does anyone know this?

I actually think the Russian people are too nice and tolerant. Too many Russians choose to ignore what's happening, they are too nice to their leaders.

This so much. This is the exact reason why some countries are failing and some are not.

The main problem is bad people, people who put shareholder value above all else. However, another big problem is good people leaving when bad things happen. At some point only bad people remain at a company and this will be the fait of Google at some point.

Why do you not move YC into a more immigration friendly country?

The UK is closer to South Africa than to Europe. It's corruption ridden to the top and 1 in 5 children live in food poverty despite it being the 5th richest country. The mismanagement of law and order is so obvious. Birmingham went bust, privatisation spurred energy bills, etc.

Good! They are the worst private health care I ever had. Public health care was better in the UK.

I would honestly compress the photos. You don’t need ultra hd pictures for your memories.

I absolutely love D’s contracts with pre and postconditions. These I can simulate in other languages however. The invariant is where D really shines imo. Also the fact that you can overwrite the r value constructor, move constructor and cooy constructor are great ideas and the static function support is also good!

Flutter is not a bad choice if you want to build a cross platform app.
