Historically, a reasonably safe vaccine has taken many years to develop. Rushing a vaccine through the system so it only takes months? Yeah, I not going to stand in line to get vaccinated.

And here I thought that hand washing was recommended like crazy to prevent people from getting the virus into their mouth, eyes and nose. The lack of accurate information is maddening.

Probably. Or maybe a less stressful commute to work, no crazy office politics, a change in diet/exercise (because you now have time to do those things properly)... It's really difficult to accurately establish correlation let alon

No matter what happens with Stadia and its market, Google simply cannot afford to kill the projects in the next few years. It would be a huge blow to their already tarnished reputation wrt keeping services alive. They need to prove to the w

But it does make someone a hypocrite and maybe not someone you want to spend time listening to. In your example, it would be more relevant if you were a public figure who talked about the dangers of car driving wrt kids...

That's the main issue of purchasing products and services for you business, i.e it's almost impossible to gauge the real value of what you are buying until you try it out and can analyze the figures. This is why it's crazy th

Well, yeah. Even if you follow good people, even if you use the various tools for blocking accounts and keywords, the drama is inescapable. People just can't separate their private lives from their professional lives. And yet, when Twi

There is an app called Google Podcasts (com.google.android.apps.podcasts) but I don't think it's an Android default.

I agree but let's also understand the damaging dynamics we see on HN everyday where some people consider a multi million dollar operation a "lifestyle business".

It was a terrible move that has jeopardized the lives of millions and further corroded the WHO's reputation. The very trustworthiness of the organization is being questioned so much so that people are dismissing official communiques as

I don't see how that's even relevant here. Most countries have a highly competent and knowledgeable nucleus of tech people but that's not really relevant to tech security in the public sector.

Bizarre that you would hold individual citizens responsible for the actions of a government.

This is a "think piece" and not based on any research or data. In reality, I'm seeing lots of relatively small entertainers do the 1000 Fans Thing on Twitch and it really works because each subscriber pays 5 USD per month.

HN has always been an echo chamber but this time it seems like the Stadia community is the one that's having issues with Google.

This was my main concern when Stadia was launched. I knew that Google could figure out the tech but their product development and customer support would be their Achilles heel , especially when it comes to gaming. Gamers go all in with thei

This is scary: "We estimated that the mean R0 ranges from 3.30 (95%CI: 2.73-3.96) to 5.47 (95%CI: 4.16-7.10) associated with 0-fold to 2-fold increase in the reporting rate."

The way I see it is that there are actually two Twitters: * Bad Twitter: is run by Twitter Inc. and tries everything to mess with your feed, turning it into a toxic mess that's designed to clickbait and outrage you. It is disrespectful

Right but what about Android? What's the point of setting up email at my own domain - which I already have - when Google can track everything through Android?
