Aside from the likely fact that “his” account is run by multiple people considering it’s his actual job to repost on Reddit... he definitely “outed” himself for news articles. He enjoys the fame and not the consequence.

The fact that so many people have the need for throwaway counts entirely disputes the concept that this problem is easy to solve. The upvote/downvote system is designed to reinforce echo chambers and create a chilling effect for your “

Except you are not correct. Right now, criticizing any of the “default mods” will get you banned, making any post like the one I referenced will be deleted, Reddit is engaging in censorship like they never have before. Take a look at r&#x2F

Which to me is why it’s crazy these have so much fuel and burn so hard - while Virgin’s “plane” gets as high as it does. Virgin isn’t trying to leave orbit, but it’s still really an interesting comparison to rockets.

I’m not sure which brands TSMC makes for. But I can promise you if there is an option to buy an USA made AMD, I’d pay a premium for that.

That’s true. Except... wasn’t it the point that “new media” wasn’t to be so heavily... “curated”?

It’s much worse than that. It’s not many people, it’s a very small number that “run” Reddit. 92 of the top 500 subs are controlled by 5 people. [0] Yesterday this post was locked, and so many of the comments were removed by mods with no sel

I don't think he did compare it to the flu. But look, as unpopular as that comparison is, we just don't have numbers that support the original estimates that caused lock downs of 2 million dead in the US. The media pushed worst ca

This is not entirely correct. The US Comfort in NYC specifically is as you described, but, lost 1/2 it's capacity by setting up with protections between beds. It still saw almost no people because the need just wasn't there.

Really? Because if Uber and Lyft get more expensive, as a consumer I will go back to renting a car when I travel. There are a lot of supply options.

I bought early access subnautica too, a little too early if fact. Had to restart 5 times or so over months before I could make it to the end. So I’ll wait a little longer for Below Zero, but it’ll be worth it. It was intersecting to watch t

Right, he didn’t modify the toothbrush to do anything. Just picked up the BLE message going out and used that to trigger his lights which itself is just sending out a different BLE message as I understood it.

Subnautica was so good. Pop in and bugs aside, that was just the right balance of survival, crafting, exploration, narrative without forcing it on you. Top10 ever.

Huh? The contact tracing is 100% Bluetooth. You post a beacon periodically, other people post beacons, everyone is listening for that UUID and records and instances of it. This is how the whole thing works. GPS would be a privacy disaster,

Or you could go the Amazon AWS for C route and give make a define with the name of MilicsecondsPerSecond, and a separate define that makes that at 1000. If you want to go full spectrum the other way.

Yea, “ First determine the name of your WiFi interface by issuing the command : nmcli d “ I knew that, but only in the back of my head. If the internet wasn’t working, you know, a WiFi problem, I would have a very tough time remembering th

That’s not untrue at all. It’s just that when I have used that needs to reset his WiFi adapter, there are nice picture tutorials for Windows, and on Linux you better have some idea what a /dev/ is. Think about explaining to grandm

That and his menu and pages are entirely functional and fast. I almost forgot how fast web pages should be. The menu is head and shoulders above many hamburger or drop downs on “real” sites.

>Retro I think they went a little overboard. If they dialed it back it would be a nice homage, right now it’s a callback to the worst of the worst, which is also fine because clearly that’s what they were going for. I just enjoy subtlety

Well then there is a lot of work to do besides snapping and updates. For a normal user, the INSTANT something goes wrong in Linux, you step from “something kinda like Windows” to “100% Voodoo you are expected to know”

They could always drop XML for YAML and get more issues! I dislike XML and would not chose it for my projects. But... in this case, it does seem like a good idea to require explicitly closed tags. Seems like it could remove 1000 error poten

Do you think it’s legitimate to take covid single worst week, compare to a week of flu and extrapolate our 9 to 44x worse? Do you think there will be 10-30 million covid deaths this year?

by SlowRobotAhead 6y ago
Can you find a single source anywhere that modeled or even causally expected 10 to 30 million deaths without lockdown? Edit: can’t reply directly, but I’d like to see something more than an alarmist article from March 8th. Maybe a recent st

by SlowRobotAhead 6y ago
“I’m counting” deaths by the sources I linked. The article is figuring 9x-44x worse by taking the worst week of covid and comparing to same week of seasonal flu. I’ll rephrase my original downvoted question, do you think there will be 10-30

What region doesn’t have it? What model shows we aren’t near peak death now? Edit: seriously asking questions.
