It's not a well thought out protest. Do the Ford employees expect the cops to jog to their house when someone has broken in?

Stronger containment measures does not always equal better. All it does is buy time at the cost of time (and human rights). The curve gets flatter, yet the volume remains the same, unless they're biding it out for a vaccine. And who kn

Of course they do. So advise the 1% that's at risk to quarantine until we get a vaccine.

Not to be insensitive, but what's the death rate for healthy individuals in his age range? Next to zero? Italy reported that 99% of those who died from Corona had other health issues.[1] In my county (county, not country) it was report

I never in my twenty years of computing have thought of those words in terms of race until today. Race is being dragged into everything now and I hate it.

I know it was insane. But I also think /r/politics is insane.

Yes. There will always be times when the internet isn't there for you. To me, flac file backups are king, and what makes bandcamp so good.

Not everyone (me included) believes the censorship he's calling for is the right thing.

I'd be more willing to have this conversation if Youtube had actual competition.

How does early translate to short?

Is there a realistic objective to lock-downs other than avoiding overrun hospitals?

It also helps that the Jewish books predicted Christianity. Isaiah 53, for example.

This could be a different story a year from now, where NY ripped the band-aid off and achieved herd immunity long before SF, and SF took a much longer time resulting in a longer economical slump and still similar deaths over a longer period

I understand the motivation. And it may even appear to be beneficial at first, but censorship is a slippery slope.

by brink 7y ago
Because the official narrative is not always the truth. And censorship breeds tyranny.

I know. 50-85x is hard to believe. How could we be that far off?

The virus will peak soon, quarantine will start easing, and the economy will start to resume.

The system admins used the same password for everything. We ran the windows password file against a rainbow table. Once we figured out the password and that it worked on the admin portal to the website, we couldn't resist for the laugh

I got a felony (which was later dropped) pressed against me for something like this. Changed my highschool's website to a rickroll, ended up in cuffs.

A little off topic. I find it really weird that journalists have tried to paint this recession in light of other recessions. It feels like apples and oranges trying to compare the two. We've effectively shut the economy off, yet people

Everyone is going to die. I know that this will make it sooner than we thought for some, but for those who are going to die from this, this was always going to be their death date. I'm not trying to be insensitive and I'm not sayi
