I think if there wasn't a media blackout on any unapproved theories about the virus, the media and the approved experts would be somewhat more trusted.

I've seen similar research indicating artificial origins, and one of the foremost experts in the relevant field came out and said there was no way this wasn't man made.

I vaguely remember this kind of tech being discussed a few years ago. It seemed legit at the time, though I have no idea if this particular implementation is.

Last I checked, the hydroxychloroquine studies were looking up. "No evidence"? Maybe you should find some better sources. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24298838 https://edition.cnn.com/2020&

And that's still better than e.g. CNN, which took months to admit that hydroxychloroquine might possibly be useful. That's the difference: over there, you can actually consider possibilities that aren't part of the official s

Glad he's finally willing to admit it. I hope the factcheckers stop calling it fake news soon. I wonder how many people died because it wasn't taken more seriously sooner.

It's nice that HN has finally moved beyond labeling Vitamin D's relevance to Covid a conspiracy theory. I put some articles on here about it a month or two (edit: 6 months) ago, and posters went as far as to go through my submiss

Yes, it does. Monitoring is easy with htop - just look at the ram and swap usage. Leave FF open too long with too many tabs, and even the swap starts to fill up and the whole computer gets laggy. This is a well-known problem. What's ha

The only way to free up the memory is to close firefox. Closing tabs doesn't do anything. I can 'killall firefox' and then reopen it to the same 50 tabs, and the memory usage after they're loaded again will be several G

The difference is, chrome allocates what it needs upfront, and that's all it uses. Firefox keeps increasing its usage. That means that when I want to leave a website open on my server for a month, I use chrome because I know exactly ho

Those hobbyists know how to build tools they want; that translates well into server related stuff. Microsoft knows how to build tools that untechnical people can use. They are the best at this; that's why they have the desktop market.
