I’m always in favor of helping people based on actual science.
There are honest reasons to be nervous about the vaccine. But for someone to question the effectiveness of the vaccine but then tout the effectiveness of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine is the height of hypocrisy.
It’s an obvious tell.
I see. See you are the only one in favor of helping people. And the others who do not use your scientific wisdom are not ! Is that what you are suggesting? Or somehow you know science better than others?
I am working the forum. It is snowing. Not motivated to get out of bed.
View from my deck. Inspiring me to get outside Nothing like it in Texas
Yes, I understand science better than you.
The vaccines are far better tested than Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. That is an indisputable fact.
There are plenty of thoughtful skeptics who give good reasons why we should be nervous about the vaccines. The fact is they were tested more rapidly than other vaccines in the past as an example. MRNA vaccines are relatively new.
But to cite that and then go on and on about these other drugs based on minimal testing or evidence is a good tell about your understanding of science.
So yes, you aren’t thoughtful and you don’t understand science.
That fact that you bring it up here means it is in dispute and your version of science has some view on it, which you like. Sorry science does not work on your views.
Problem is when people do not like what others do and they want others to do what they like.
Outside my bedroom yesterday. Our local Forest terrorists.
These are yearlings local bad boys. Their mother teaches them how to break into houses . Tourists encourage their behavior by feeding them (a federal crime btw). Basically harmless. Just annoying. Knock down my fences. Strew garbage around and occasionally break into house. Especially garages and crawl spaces. You don’t want one hibernating under your house
In other words Tesla has peaked and turning into a loser company like Oracle.
Tesla is valued as a technology company. The car itself is a platform to assemble several technologies AI, robotics, electric drives, battery tech, and old manufacturing.
Where would you go to give your kids better schools?
North Carolina. My hometown in Indiana, anywhere they are not thinking of getting rid of Algebra until 10th grade. 
that being said, we are in Dublin, with a ton of equally as snooty tech parents and they offer acceleration in math starting in 6th. so hopefully the CA wide mandate doesn’t pass.
If we use “percentage of kids landing in a Top 20 college” as criteria, would NC and Indiana be better than Bay Area? Honest question. I don’t know the answer. What do you think?
Probably not. Another way to look at it is probability of getting in. If you know your kid is a top student, going to a place like Indiana could help them stand out.
honestly yes. Harvard can’t fill its entire class from Bay Area people. Hard to stand out here.
I’ve always said, if you want your kids to go to Harvard, move to a red state and do private school.
and I have tech friends who are doing that now. they work remote, salary high tech jobs (Netflix/Google) and live in Indiana and send their kids to private school. totally gaming the system.
if I could only get my husband to agree…
But then you are paying the same 50K for privates?
In Bay Area’s defense kids have better and more opportunities here, just like their parents do. It’s easier to land internships for example if they so desire.
It’s an interesting question. I will ask my kid’s college counselor.
A big problem with many families I know. They would want cut-off children to be bumped to the upper grade. A girl I know just got into Berkely and want to pursue Medicine. Parents are already in talk with advisor on how to get the girl graduate in three years. I do not understand the rush to graduate. Intellectual growth and emotional growth must happen in tandem.
I have been told some private schools are set up as feeder schools to Ivy Leagues. My friend’s son went to the feeder school and then to Harvard (or Rice cannot recall). And now employed at one of the big consulting firm. They left CA in 2000 and living in TX since then.
Around here in the tech world Stanford > Harvard. Here’s what I found on Quora. Any Gunn parent has an updated list?
So much overreaction to Tesla moving HQ. Minimal people are actually moving.
Musk did this because he wants to be close to SpaceX development and launches in Boca Chica, TX.
