I would argue that our current response is what we did have done if the young were more at risk. What Sweden did was the more correct response to the current pandemic. But I wouldn't necessarily blame the older leaders. My company sent

To me the flaw was "you shouldn't do X in the case of Y therefore you shouldn't do it in the case of Z" the assumption being that Y and Z are similar, but in reality they aren't.

You hit the nail on the head. The author seems to be saying syntax coloring is bad, because you don't do it for prose. But you read code differently than you read prose. Syntax highlighting also doesn't make you focus only on the

You MUST do cost benefit analysis. A lot of people say "well if TSA saves one life..." But at what cost? A billion dollars? A trillion? A quadrillion? You may argue that it may never cost that much, but it can if you don't do

We can't eradicate it, but he can coral it, make it less deadly. Not sure where your 2 year statistic from. In 2020 about 6% of US population caught it, since then another 6% of so have caught it. It will take like 10 years to hit

Companies do more to than just obey laws. Or rather, what is legal or illegal isn't the issue. Places like Reddit have banned legal speech, just because. There was no law saying they had to. They did it because they wanted to. Making t

Most countries are a signatury to the Berne Convention, so in general, copyright is pretty similar in those countries. Patents are a different story and different countries have different pantent laws.

I'm the US copyright is to allow creators control over their creation, for a time, presumably so the can monetize it. This incentives creators to create. Yes, in the long run, public domain wins. But so do the creators. Forcing them to

When most people think of NYC they think of Manhattan or the five boroughs, not the greatest metro area. But if you say the city of Miami you general mean the metro area. So it is just missing is all.
