Masks do work. They are not the only measure but part of a set of small actions that are easy to take and -together- work. For some further evidence, see Hong Kong; Nearly 8 million people live in some of the densest city of the world; fr

I find it bonkers that the surgeon had no prior involvement in reviewing the case before the patient is brought into the operating room. That's really scary.

By allowing itself to overreach into user-content, Apple is setting enough precedents that it will not be able to refuse blocking more and become a moderator for all apps, threatening any with removal if they don't comply. That's

You can staff your Paris office full of Californians, the labour laws that apply are still the French ones. So I guess that you meant this generous multi billions $ company has no operations in France? If so, then I don't understand wh

As you mentioned, there are ways to detect some pre-existing illegal content but having a notification mechanism in place can take care of the knowledge part. Force providers to have a reporting system that feeds back a unique case code tha

But we have, and it's called vaccination. Not mandatory everywhere, but it is in many places, especially for school-aged kids. And if health-centred rules are too much to comprehend, then I suppose it's also your right to choose t

If you see the various implementations of measures in different countries as large scale experiments, I think you can derive some useful information and answer your own questions. There is maybe some point of diminishing returns in wearing

I'd like to offer a counterpoint on the masks: as soon as the epidemic started, the Hong Kong population -remembering SARS 15 years ago- started wearing masks and sanitizing hands. Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated area i

My real problem with BT is how unreliable it is. I'd like to find someone who never had an issue pairing some earphones or headphones and had it working flawlessly every time. There are many variants of BT audio and they don't all

Watching the video, I cannot fathom how anyone can interpret this as being a racial slur? This is a common idiom in Chinese, people say it all the time. This is baffling and truly terrifying. Are we really there? This sort of overreaching w

I know it goes contrary to common sense, as we could expect a lock on the exe, but it does work. I mean it's easy enough to try for yourself if you do not believe my own experience.

The article just brushes over Champollion but if this story sparks your interest, do yourself a favour and have a look at Champollion's life. He not only deciphered hieroglyphs and its rules as a language but he was a linguistic genius

It seems that the trick to make Win10 installer work is to move the executable of the tool to the USB drive you will use, then run it from there. Like you it used to drive me crazy and would often doesn't work but I never had issues af

It befuddles me to see that there so little pushback against the use of these types of tech. We can't trust advertisers to limit themselves. They are only limited by what current technology can achieve but the goal posts keep moving an

The main issue I see with Trump's support of anything is the impact this support has on the cause. I believe Snowden needs to be pardoned. He made the Public aware of the shady things that are done in its name. So the Public needs to p

A pre-departure COVID test should be required for all flights. With the rate of spread in the US, the risk of having infected -and probably asymptomatic- people on board is not negligible. Having to stay in closed quarters, breathing the sa

From the article: "But of these 92% – a total if 2,297 – were incorrect, with just 173 providing ‘true positive alerts’." Those are frightening odds when you consider the impact such system could have on those "false positive

There are too many generalisations here to take any of your points seriously. Racism exists in all countries, not just Britain. It may be worse or better in Britain than elsewhere but it's certainly not alone. If your point is that the

It works as long as the value created in opening more businesses actually trickles down to creating more decently paid jobs. The fact that many people are forced to handle more than one job just to survive shows that part of this argument i

It's a good idea but I see a couple of drawbacks: - if you use a standard website you get limited feedback. Politicians love twitter and FB because they basically have unlimited retweet/reposts and feedback from their supporters.
