Three points: 1: 7.86% of all deaths in the UK were under 60 [1]. Unfortunately, I don't see any data on comorbidities easily available, but I'd expect similar rates of them in the UK vs NO, DK, etc. and so I'd expect similar

Once you're logged in, just copy/paste the password? You only need to type out your master password manually. Am I misunderstanding the issue?

Correct. Modern locos basically receive AC, convert it to DC, then convert it back to AC for the traction motors. Whether they receive AC through a pantograph, or a self-contained engine + generator, doesn’t really make a whole lot of diffe

I am also Aussie and agree with this. FB has worked hard to make itself the walled garden of “internet”. It tries to encourage people to use the FB search box to find news agencies, brands, etc. rather than the URL box. The monopoly positio

I would not call the federal government “wildly popular”. Most people are (rightly, IMO) laying our pandemic success at the feet of state politicians and realising that the federal level had been ineffective at best.

I wonder if Apple's relentless march towards eliminating all physical ports on the phone is at least in some small part an attempt to harden against these GrayKey / Cellebrite tools that can attack the phone. I am not particularly

May I also add the supurb documentary Trinity and Beyond . I've watched it several times and always come away simultaneously parts awed and terrified.

I feel there's also an element of the divide of power between both parties being greater too. For example, the police force - which generally supports the status quo of the powerful - is far more able to control and suppress uprisings

No it doesn't, and you have to blatantly ignore the power dynamics between groups to compare the two. Your analogy would hold only if people with mental disabilities started trying to reclaim the discriminatory connotations of the word

Having gone through an unexpected, young death where nothing was recorded, I’ve come to the opposite conclusion: anything significant enough to care about already has next-of-kin processes established such that the Right Person will be able

I'm increasingly of the completely unresearched, lay- and baseless opinion that the great filter explanation has a fair bit of merit. Not so much from the idea that civilisations create their own destruction before they get off their r

I tried to head this point off by specifying English-speaking countries (and specifically I meant the anglosphere). I can totally see how spotify is far less of a value proposition outside of that.

This is a fair call-out and I did anticipate it, but I couldn't think of any better examples to quantify what is definitely a feeling that spotify has ubiquity amongst the age bracket I discuss. It's no one thing, but a tonne of s

Music discovery and a curated-by-not-yourself playlists are the two big things in my experience. The aim of the game is for spotify to play you music that you didn't realise you wanted to hear, and even better if it's from an arti

Honestly, I think you inadvertedly prove the OP's point. Given that you used a piped command in the terminal to search your Linux distribution for mp3s, I'd say you're in fact one of the very Silicon-Valley types you mention.

That's still a criticism of this CoC (insofar as it allowed a malicious party to wield it to achieve this outcome), not CoCs in general. Or do you disagree with the premise that there can exist a CoC that is crafted such as to not al
