How is it corruption if it's the official policy to auction off some of the vaccine to top bidders? It’s basically a tax on the wealthy.

Can you define what a social network is then? As for Matrix, I’m not personally familiar with it but a quick look up suggests it’s a protocol so by my offered explanation, the answer is no.

Strongly agree.

Does Fastmail limit any of the social features of its product to communications with other Fastmail users or is Fastmail an interface to the generic, open email protocols?

Apple's great luck here is that everyone thinks of social media primarily in aesthetic ways that are linked to ideas of social media that they don't like. > there are no recommendations, no feed, no following friends, no status

By some metrics, iMessage is the biggest messaging service in the US. Arguably, from the POV of the FTC as a US regulator, WhatsApp shouldn't be included but Apple SHOULD be. This is of course ignoring other social features of Apple pr

Still a bit slower but much more competitive. Thanks for the additional investigation/validation!

But like even all of that being the case, that’s still no justification for taking 3wks to validate the data. The actual testing process is no different, the only difference is in how quickly approval comes. The same evidence is considered

So where am I wrong? Where is this MD, MPH from Johns Hopkins wrong? https://thedispatch.com/p/fda-career-staff-are-delaying-the Why is the UK able to approve it over a week ago but the FDA needs longer?

I highly doubt it's related to the election, but there is a "conspiracy theory" that is entirely plausible to me which is that the paternalistic leaders of the FDA/CDC believe that by taking longer to "validate&quot

What kind of computation do you think it is they are doing on this data? Seriously, it takes at MOST a week to do an extremely deep code review of this. It's not like this is some brand new testing methodology developed ad hoc for this

Yup, FB is primarily attempting to subvert a fringe European political movement.

You can't do that if you wanted it to be a symbol of its own. The use of wrapping "%" is native functionality so making `%>%` into a symbol would break the consistency of that.

That's exactly right. This is useful in the context of a large portion of R's most popular data wrangling packages known as the "Tidyverse". These packages used an equivalent pipe function that was non-native and had som

But they seem to have had an intuitive grasp for something out of your reach. Seems like a wash on superiority complexes.

But the cores are really good in real world, general purpose computing so I'm not sure the ASS (Application Specific Silicon) is more than half the story.

This certainly works but then everything I install runs in Rosetta2. I'd prefer to run as much native as possible which is what my "two brew" solution gives me.

Brew is only slightly a mess, in my experience. I've installed brew both in the historical /usr/local location as well as the future home of /opt/homebrew. I then created these two aliases: alias armbrew="&

You write about markets like they are omnipotent, benevolent gods which they aren't. Markets fail all the time. It's a large part of what economists spend their time studying. Take an intro to game theory course and you can find a

I mean I guess this depends on how one defines waste but under definitions I generally come across, if you could get the same level of security for less electricity in a new scheme, then the old scheme is wasting electricity.

"on" seems to be clearly the wrong preposition regardless of country of origin.
