Haha, completely fair. Though outside of cities, 30 miles == 30 minutes. I meant minutes.

fwiw many of my coworkers in the Northeast US suffered multiday internet and power outages due to the storm that forced them to either take days off or travel >30m to find places with internet.

If urban areas are in the shitter it sure isn't reflected in the prices. Prices in Seattle and Portland at least are still as strong as they were pre-pandemic.

So I had this thought the other day while talking to a friend that works at an electrical utility, the thought is naive so I'd love to hear some thoughts from people in the ISP game. My friend and I calculated that it takes about $1 wo

> For everyone else, we should have a vaccine in the next 2-3 months. This is a naive question, but to my knowledge there has never been a widely successful and safe vaccine developed for a coronavirus, am I wrong? People have been talki

Yeah, I have no idea why a single person would ever need a manager. Just what exactly is the point?

I had a similar thing happen last week with DoorDash, after the first two I contacted their privacy@ address and requested an account deletion via CCPA.

This is what that reporter wrote about the tweets. It is 10% of the article that was published by word count and appeared in the middle of the article, not the end as the reporter claims. I'll leave it to people to draw their own concl

Wow, this is news to me. What a farce haha. Thanks for adding clarity here and breaking a bad assumption I had!

So 20 years ago when we "sequenced the human genome", we actually didn't? If you'd asked me whether or not we had a complete sequence of an X chromosome before I saw this I would have said, "Of course we have one, f

Ah yeah, you're right for these AAA games, it is economies of scale that have made it cheaper, not lower production costs.

For fun: Federal minimum wage in 1982(2020 dollars): $3.25 ($9.11) Federal minimum wage in 2020: $7.25 So that copy of Pac-Man was 15.38 hours of minimum wage labor in 1982, a $70 game today is 9.65 hours of labor. Minimum wage is slightly

Sure, but in those two examples the behavior isn't actually immoral, so the work of those companies doesn't increase immoral behavior at all. They can rest easy that gay people will marry with more efficiency and no increase in im

It actually trends down, likely because children have historically been used as a retirement plan of sorts, and of course you'd never be sure how many of your ten made it to adulthood. Financially comfortable and well educated families

This is pretty bad faith. It is very unlikely that you're responding to Hitler, of course no one is suggesting we murder 90% of the world's population, that is unspeakably evil. But, with magic, imagine we had every technology we

This should contain a big fat caveat, this appears to be a very young person, maybe early 20's based on photos? My friend group could pull all nighters and 3-4 am weeknights playing beer pong just fine in college. When we have done so

This could be a naive question, but everything I've heard is that coronaviruses don't disappear, they just sorta integrate and mutate into our normal "known set" that we deal with year-to-year. If that is true, doesn&#x2

I'm shocked that some middle manager with half a technical head on their shoulders didn't use this as a VP play before this; surely, "I saved the company 120m a year with no downstream consequences to yada yada" would ha

I'm honestly surprised that Elon hasn't made some sort of tweet intimating that "Bioweapon Defense Mode" on Teslas may filter out covid-19.

I could see value for self-driving/ride-sharing data collection for Google. Google wants to make a ride-sharing program, well has one now I guess, having all that data seems like a boon if Lyft is a cheap buy. They could also collect a

Gotcha, thanks. That matches the data I originally linked, i.e. new deaths per day has been flat for greater than a month and total deaths are at 21.

The alternative being...? We know that covid-19 will likely mutate, just like other coronaviruses, H1N1 and its mutations are still around every year; are you suggesting we must remain in quarantine until we both create a vaccine for covid-

Seems neat, would love to try it out but unfortunately I can't think of any friend that uses Duo. Maybe if Duo had a web interface it would be useful? My friends and I have tried Jitsi over the past few weeks but it has been buggy as h
