Unless you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory disease or hypertension... Then the mortality rates can be up to 10% ( https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-se... )

I've seen many cases of massive 1 star ratings of books that were not even published yet, because people didn't like the author as a person, or because it dealt with a sensitive subject. I've also seem the opposite, with 5 st

The kindle integration, the amount of correct data, and the fact that it's not going to vanish in the next year is what keeps me using GoodReads.

Awesome, so basically if someone suspects they are infected, they won't get tested because they can't pay, and they still need to go work at the restaurant, infecting everyone else. That's so reassuring!

That's crazy. But what I think is: considering that's an epidemic that is dangerous and quickly spreading, shouldn't the government just decide to test people coming from places with a lot of cases already? And pay for it?

What's crazy about this is that, by "saving money" on asking people to pay for their tests, people won't get tested, spreading it more, causing more deaths and cases. Which I think is more expensive than the tests...

Thank you very much! That's what I was curious about. But you are absolutely right, it's just better to stick with the English version.

In my opinion, jargon helps, but English is just easier to learn and shorter to communicate. My first language is Portuguese, and English was not so hard for me to learn. I studied a bit of French and it was ok, but not as easy as English.

That sad. In the end, all this would (if not already) make then just go for the English version. I already do this (I'm Brazilian) as the Portuguese version is nowhere near the international (English) version in terms of completeness a

Yes. In the end, we need one common language so that we can communicate with people around the globe, and that's not only about computers, but everything.

If you check the parent I was replying to, it was about Mattermost being harder to set up than Slack. I never said anything about Slack or Discord being better/worse than each other.

So, you have to keep a computer on to sync files. And then, what about automatically tagging people, suggesting fixes (rotation, lights), searching by location name, sharing albums, etc?

Unfortunately, there's no way DDG could compete with Google without any tracking/history as google has.

Also limit review to be written X time after the product arrives. So many useless reviews that just said they received it and they are going to try it later...

If there's no way for people to access those emails (as they were silently deleted), it's basically censorship, or am I wrong?
