In most places in the US, hospitals are not overwhelmed. The situation is under control. In NYS the cases have been hovering at or below 1,000 per day for 3 months. The peak was nearly 15,000/day. Is the curve not flattened? What

>But... lockdowns aren't happening in New York City right now? Yes, they are. Today is the first day in seven months that NYC is allowing indoor dining, but it is at 25% capacity. Gyms, salons, and other similar industries are ope

Perhaps, in the end, it will turn out that Sweden made an unwise choice from a medical perspective. As of today, the USA and UK have more deaths per million than Sweden. Even in some unknown future where it is determined that Sweden took t

I find it fascinating that people are happy to dunk on Sweden for NOT imposing authoritarian rules on their citizens. Are we not free people?

"Logical to minimize exposure" is a nifty way of saying you are scared of getting covid. You chose to assign a negative connotation to being scared of catching a virus.

So lockdown those places as needed, if that's what the people want. And reopen when the situation is under control.

Cheaper to buy a new laptop than to replace an SSD? Come on, man. I feel like you've never owned an Apple laptop and you're getting your opinions on the genius bar from Louis Rossman. What you're describing is probably 0.0

We're on month seven of the lockdown in NYC. 87% of restaurants can't pay rent. I am happy to entertain the idea that lockdowns are saving the local economy, but you'll need to back it up with some data. https://t

Yes. If the numbers creep up past a certain point, you roll back. Or you do like Sweden and just let free citizens make their own decisions.

Sweden flattened the curve and did it without authoritarian lockdowns. So of course lockdown proponents are upset. This desire to have the government force people and businesses to shut down is unnerving. Are people seriously this susceptib

The goals have fundamentally drifted on covid. In the beginning it was flatten the curve so that hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. The goal wasn’t to eradicate covid but to slow the growth to an acceptable level. We are way beyond the point whe

Deaths above median will tell the actual story. There are too many bad incentives on covid death reporting.

That’s a fairly ludicrous comparison and one I’m quite certain OP was not referencing.

That maintenance will still exist. Creators can still add captions, and those captions can still be fake and full of racism or hate speech.

Some of the people here can’t understand that some people have different opinions. I don’t care that I can’t easily change the SSD. If that were important to me, I would buy a different laptop. I don’t consider my MacBook Pro to be working

The owner of the video had to approve the captions. And that is still going to be a requirement because captions still exist.

It’s community driven, AKA unpaid volunteers. How is this hurting the YouTube bottom line?

I want to see the actual documents before I believe this. I’m fine with the NYT refusing to make their source but I can’t think of any reason to keep the documents secret.

Microsoft does not allow anyone else to sell digital Xbox games. This is the crux of all of this. Apple is doing what everyone else is doing. Google charges 30% and kicked Fortnite off the play store. Steam charges 15-30%. Microsoft and

Joe is not extreme enough. If you aren’t a far left progressive, you’ll hear, see, and feel the rage from these people on the internet. Joe reminds me that most of America is not the people who foam at the mouth on the internet constantly.

Of all the ways to help this individual, letting “Jake” sleep at the office is absolutely, unequivocally, not an option. OP is not just risking the lease. He or she is risking the business and the lives and livelihoods of all the employees.
