The Spanish Flu is a single data point. I wouldn't read too much into the 18-24 months stat.

In cases like this I think it's usually a collection of changes that result in the vulnerability. Someone adds support for format strings in a config. Then later someone else says "hey, what if we expanded format string support so

OP stated: > at this point my only question is whether these places go broke in my lifetime or not I think that would be hard to do when running a $30+ billion budget surplus.

If you want to really destroy morale tell your employees you're gonna IPO and then agree to an acquisition instead. Especially if that acquisition results in only a tiny bump in share price. Ask me how I know.

Is there much difference conceptually between a virus mutating in a body and then finding ready hosts amongst the vaccinated if there is a large vaccinated population and a bacteria that has a resistance to an antibiotic spreading in a host

That's not how flu shots work. You might have had an immune response that had you feeling down, but flu shots don't give you the flu.

I'm sure you know this but there hasn't been a pandemic virus as virulent and deadly as COVID-19 in modern times. For some perspective, Chicken Pox killed roughly 100 Americans every year and that vaccine was mandated in effective

Do you live in the Valley or are you just making assumptions? Because this is not at all what I see around me.

I moved from a company that had very active private and social channels to a company that has almost no social communications at all. The channels exist but no one uses them. It's eerie. It makes me think either people are afraid of sa

No one is saying fish don't have an impact on the environment. You're apparently arguing that they have an impact on ocean currents, which is a claim that is out there enough that people at least expect a source.

It covers the industrialization era and several hundred years prior. I think it's a good window to use to determine human impact.

I don't see "many contrary 'scientific' studies" in the news. What I do see is almost universal consensus among climate scientists that humans are accelerating climate change, with a few news personalities criticizi

I was working at a Software, Etc. back then. My manager was fully in the Atari camp and I'll admit his spreadsheets were the coolest spreadsheets I had seen. But I had Killing Game Show so there was really no competition.

Internet Service Providers in the US are prohibited from charging different rates for different types of traffic. It wouldn't be legal.

Trader Joe's no doubt has a multi-year lease at this location that they can't just break. But beyond that I seriously doubt the Trader Joe's legal team inspects the terms of service for the parking apps of all parking garages

$25k in California is very different from $25k in Oklahoma. For this to be fair it would need to be adjusted for the COL in each region. Regions with higher taxes also tend to have higher populations and more dense populations and provide m

Those types of papers get filed with the court. They don't simply shake hands (or exchange emails) before accepting a plea agreement.

If this is (as it appears it might be) simply a reflection attack of some sort, I'm not sure what crime could've been committed. Or at least what computer crime could've been committed. Impersonating a federal official is abo

When you go to buy a Tesla the online order form will ask if you want FSD. You click "no". That's the extent of it. They don't try to push it on you, convince you it's a good deal, or call you a sucker for saying &q

I agree with you generally, but take a look at all the tech that Rivian has had to invent to get offroading right in an EV. The mechanical aspects of the drivetrain and suspension are very different than a traditional offroad vehicle. I thi

I have high hopes for the electric F150. But we're still talking about a traditional automaker here. They always find a way to screw things up when it comes to EVs.

We're in a weird situation now where I think most people riding e-bikes are doing so illegally on trails and paths. It's not being enforced yet where I live and I fear the push-back when someone inevitably gets hurt.

I'm not sure this is saying they stole credentials and used them from outside the customer support rep's computer. It could be that they tricked the support rep into installing malware and followed them into the systems.

I used to work for a software company known for it's militant transparency. I'd often come across a technical problem that I wanted to solve so I'd open a public issue on the problem and plan to come back to it a week or two
