Japan is an counterexample because they're fairly unique in that they've been wearing facemasks for decades when they have a cold, they don't have a lot of anti-vaccers, and things work because people are considerate. If that

Any proper fact checker states the conclusion, and then spends multiple paragraphs describing how the conclusion was made, with sources. Anyone can and should attack that reasoning or sourcing if it's lacking or faulty. It usually isn&

Amazing to see the amount of similar comments here. I too grew up with the ZX (and later an Atari ST), and made my first program (a game, of course). It felt very zen to write it, play it, and then being okay with not saving it when I cut t

So instead of taking me at my word, you assume the opposite of that, that I in reality do understand what you mean. Pot, kettle etc. No, I truly still don't understand what you were or are suggesting. Have you moved the generation soft

While I agree with the article that they are not the same, people using one thing may not be interested in the other, or at least not be aware of it. I've used IRC for the last 25 years or so, and BBS:es before that, and forums alongsi

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there a reason for not having z-wave support on Amber? It wasn't mentioned in the picture and no ctrl+f "wave" hits on the page. I'm very excited about this device. I've be

If you know the price and payout of a bet, it's no longer blind. And if you don't, you wouldn't buy a ticket.

Then you have no signifier for whether the quote is partial or not. Did you quote part of something someone said or the full sentence?

So they do this right after winning over Epic in court? Way to drum up support for anti-trust regulation there, Tim.

I read your two linked comments, and am still not clear on what you mean. Are you suggesting that we use an extension/addon for Firefox or Chrome for generating ones site from .md over the thread-starting rust binary? If so, for what r

I'm hoping that's a prototype that just shows the structure inside and not the final design. But I guess we'll find out, or they will in that trial.

Interesting, but makes sense, it also works for literally packing/unpacking things. You take out pieces on top first from a board game box, and then go deeper. At the end you have to put them back in in reverse order for everything to

Both my 1 year old and my 4 year old love cucumber, tomatoes, peas, broccoli, etc, and usually eat it before anything else on the plate. It feels really weird to have to tell a 4 year old to eat some meat or rice before getting more cucumbe

Correct or not, I would assume it's the reading everyone made. We all read in good faith and write in good faith, but if everyone misreads something you write, either everyone else has to try harder to decipher it or you can perhaps tr

Space debris is exponential. It only takes one piece getting a good hit on a satellite to create thousands more.

I don't mean to nitpick, but I had to read it a few times before realizing what the quote was saying, I think removing one of the "the":s before a company would make it clearer.

Maybe the bottle can include a time crystal that could advance the time by an hour so you don't have to wait for gravity. I'd honestly rather buy ketchup in a refill bag for my plastic bottle than a glass bottle.
