> if we hadn't done that stuff, we would have seen even more than the 1M deaths we did experience How much more? And how would that increase compare to the drug overdoses and other mental health related deaths that lockdowns caused?

That's pretty easy. Sweden is the poster child of a rational covid19 response. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_death_rates_... Sweden deaths per million: 1834 U.S. deaths per million: 3043 However

My Honda minivan has helped me brake in a sudden and emergency way on several occasions. Of course, Honda doesn't sell something called "full self driving" which might lull me into a false sense of security, human nature bein

I agree, but that just changes the role and leaves the potential problem. The PM might be weak and not defending the existing backlog.

Doesn't the city of Houston famously lack zoning, to some degree? It seems like analyzing Houston could show whether the problems of zoning are fixed or not.

Well it's in the article: incredible energy consumption, its impacts on marine life, projected sea-level rise and the cost of the resulting water itself -- with that cost being passed on to customers.

I disagree this is the bottom. It may hover at 20k a bit but I think it's going down to 10k or so.

LinkedIn (a subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation) has the worst "activity feed" algorithm I have ever seen. It is a dopamine-poking, engagement-optimizing mess. So I have very little confidence they would do anything for ethical re

Yes, I referenced tulip mania to the Coinbase recruiter. It's probably going to collapse worse.

Coinbase tried to recruit me last summer. I politely told the recruiter that I felt it was all bubble speculation mania. Also the amount of equity sold by the CFO at the public listing indicated little confidence in the long term prospects.

It also assumes an income level where this is possible. Unsurprising with the tech crowd here but not at all generally realistic.

What's your control group? Are you assuming none of these people would have gotten COVID if not for the kid?

I'm not sure about fine. Probably just undiagnosed? According to this, RSV kills 100k babies and kids between 0-5 per year. 97% of them are in low and middle income countries. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lan

Daycare does not end before nursing. And I'm not so sure about preschool either... perhaps you haven't lived in some, er, "crunchier" areas.

No, but that doesn't surprise me. So if daycare is inevitable, the child needs to go in "armed" with antibodies (including from the mother during pregnancy). Should pregnant women isolate? Does not seem like it. Our family do

It is RSV immunity debt that worries me. I think it's an example of our poor capability for risk analysis. I talk to so many parents here in California that are terrified of covid for their kids. So they still limit activities. But sta

I work for a C# shop. However maybe the signal is ex-Microsoft rather than C# itself, when I think about it more. We have lots of ex-MSFT.

Still a lot of Windows baggage with C#. It's changing, but I think most c# devs are still learning fundamental unix and docker stuff. So you'll get an overhead with C# too, just not in technical performance.
