I heard that this is about testing in the periphery? MDs could put it in their offices and test their employees daily, for example. That’s one possible use case.

“Quite flawed” is wild praise for this trash. I don’t think it’s intentionally bad but it’s still bad. In the end it’s easier to make things worse … and chloroquine could, we don’t know. So I wouldn’t touch it.

The study from France seems to suck, though. Not very valuable data. They measured virus, not outcomes, they measured virus in the throat, not the lungs, the starting point was not the start of the disease but some later (more arbitrary) po

I have no sympathy for the airline as an abstract corporate entity. I do have tons of empathy for the many people who lost their job.

The risk is also not so much to individuals (well, indirectly) but rather to the healthcare system collapsing. Seems logical, though, that someone as self-centered and egomaniacal as Musk thinks of individual risk.

Because then people can just start using XT without any ill effects. So that’s a definite advantage. As soon as you have some usage browser vendors will then be much more willing to support it.

In general, there is probably no private property that the state cannot destroy and then replace with no problem. Money really is no problem at all here. Also, yeah, being proportional in your response (and that includes putting property da

Insurances can deal very well with bad things happening to an individual. Insurances cannot deal very well with bad things suddenly happening to everyone, all at once. That’s just an inherent property of insurances. I’m not sure there can b

Seems to me that this creation of hopelessness could be a major factor in creating unsafe environments. Everyone who is locked up should have a reasonable chance of getting out within a reasonable timeframe.

I never said that the American system is fair. The horribleness of the German system can be completely explained with the power of defaults / inertia. Sure, there is some way to go from here to there, but on a societal level this is ju

It doesn’t matter whether you actually believe something, if you act like you do and what you believed in is toxic you are still responsible for spreading poison. You make the world a safer and more welcoming place for those who actually be

If you have Abitur is the thing here. You have to have that (yeah, Realschule plus FH works, too, but that’s not exactly the same and also a whole thing). To say nothing of the absolute bonkers aggressive tracking that’s happening early on.

I mean, it obviously works. That doesn’t tell you anything about its ethical or moral content, though.

Workers’ Councils often don’t exist because people don’t dare to form one. Despite pretty good rights for employees, it can still feel like painting a target on your back. I should have more forcefully driven for the creation of one in my s

But from a culinary perspective strawberries are berries. So the name is correct for that context.

by arrrg 7y ago
I guess it’s interesting in that you can learn something about botany. However, culinary definitions (where strawberries are berries and tomatoes are vegetables) are just as valid and not wrong because botanical definitions seemingly contra

Anyone who becomes the face of this will be relentlessly smeared, with no regard for reality. People in the streets is probably what you need.

I’m not sure what to think about this obfuscation tactic. Lost Cities is a simple two-player card game where you have to take risks in laying out your cards with incomplete information. In the end the points are tallied up. The calculation

I agree that ideally you wouldn’t notice that … however I do think there are pretty clear constraints around how you can announce such a thing to avoid harm. You will always end up with a text like that. It tries to reduce risk and harm and

It is literally the job of PR people to write things like these. I’m confused by your statement. This is effectively a press release, of course it was written by a PR person.

I think you fundamental mistake is thinking that you can separate technical and political concerns or that those two things really are always distinct and cleanly separable. To me having that kind of discussion really doesn’t make a lot of

Barack Obama is a boring, middle of the road, centrist as hell politician. He is as much a “proponent” of climate change as, say, Angela Merkel. Which is to say, not all that much. He cares a little bit but not that much. Also, he’s rich an

Wait wait wait … people in the US do not always have employment contracts?! This is such an utterly foreign and absurd concept to me. Even if you work for McDonald‘s, even if only temporary, even if only part time, you would always have an

I’m not sure why you are seemingly so certain that it’s not a crime. You are talking about the UK but Ireland is not the UK and you yourself are not bringing up anything relating to Ireland that would convince one that no crime was committe

How did you come to the conclusion that WYSIWYG are “one of the most despised features in the UX world”? That seems completely unfounded to me. WYSIWYG editors can be extremely bad … but millions of people use WYSIWYG editors all the time a

I think you are massively overestimating the importance of the story of Half Life. World building (to create tension and a creepy atmosphere) are much more important and also compact things, much more easily transportable and play a much la

Story heavy? You need about one sentence to set up the world. Here, the website even does it for us: „Set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, Alyx Vance and her father Eli mount an early resistance to the Combine’s brutal occup

That’s shocking that you have never seen this. I agree that there is a temptation to not do it, especially for smaller changes, especially if time is tight, especially if you are a smaller company, and all of that is certainly a problem. Bu

I think that’s a much more coherent argument, especially if you factor in a fear of disproportionate punishment. For example, in the case of the bank robber I would actually agree that it would amount to torture if police were clearly commu

But that line of thinking doesn’t make sense to me … Just for the sake of argument, say you are a bank robber who successfully barricaded yourself somewhere (really uncomfortable) where police cannot reach you. You are then free to leave at
