   was it not based on knowledge based on observation (science)? You don't need math and symbolic manipulation, not to mention information theory to do science, even if it helps immensely if you do use these tools!

    in fact covering your face does protect you, only less effectively so. Even eyeglasses reduce the covid transmission rate noticeably. Every little helps and compounds.

    hmmm, how about "no". It really boils down to how you define science. If you define science as "published in peer reviewed journals" or "knee-deep in academia", the statement is correct. If, however, it's

    what's wrong with masked world? it helps stop the spread of other airborne diseases as well, it filters out (to some extent) the smog, facial recognition software has more trouble, so we regain at least some privacy...

    i've been working with international clients for quite some time before the pandemic, and the local talent pool has been severely exhausted for several years now, so... remote has been a reality for a long time now.

    Firefox uses a master password for its password store and stores them in own encrypted sqlite database. Chrome stores them using system keyring, which is ok in linux, not so fine in windows.

    part of Rogers' appeal is his inherent naïveness regarding some issues like Syria/Venezuela and his songs (if you heard ten of them, you heard most of them). But that naïveté also allows him such beautiful expressions of visceral
