You're right, they get a positive result for almost all the population! Wait, does that pass the smell test? Do prisions become huge flu hotspots as well? The Diamond Princess outbreak didn't have that kind of numbers... What&#x

Does anybody know the false positive rate of the test? Could this be an artifact of that plus low actual incidence like: - False positive rate of 10% - 100 tests - 1 true positives. All with symptoms - 9 false positives. All without sympt

Given how bad the data about the current pandemic is, why do you think data about previous pandemics was any better?

The trick here is, did they have the cash? Or did they bought shares with borrowed money?

It's too much. This comment is right on the money and graying out by the second. I think it's because both sets of morons think it goes against them. A job well done, too bad at this rate nobody will see it.

I see lots of praise for Singapore and Taiwan's handling of the crisis. What about the weather? Is part of the solution for cold dry places to have warm humid weather, which apparently kills the virus?

Is this a broadside against Facebook's trackers? Does anyone believe for one picosecond they will block their own cookies? I switched to Firefox when I tried to block all 3rd aprty cookies on Chrome and found some (Google's) that

I have 32 GB of RAM, why shouldn't software use it to make things faster?

Really, just use duckduckgo.com. Go to your Firefox' settings and change the default search engine, there, done. See if you care in a week to change it back, I promise you that you won't.

How about for writing the same app 5 times, no matter the quality of it? Is that a better analogy?

I think there's two ways people look at code: as text to be linearly read, or as a structure to be navigated visually. I'm on the later camp, and I believe that's why I dislike the "movement" towards getting rid of
