I'm trying to find an up to date graph of unemployment rate, over time, showing U1 thourgh U6 rates, which seems the "big picture". Has anyone been able to find this? Edit: oh well, I found the table. i'll make my own gr

This. What's base rate I should compare with %66 percent? Until I know that, I can have no idea whether to be shocked!

I agree that the govt seems to suck at negotiating. What do you think we should do now? > health rationing What are you talking about?

I find the comments that 'Single Payer' isn't intended to address pricing problems sort of strange. 'Single Payer' means that providers have to negotiate the prices with _one_ payer, the state, instead of separately

This seems like an important result, but one that we might need to approach with measured confidence. Of 14 samples, from 124 patients in Dec/Jan, one tested positive for COV by PCR. How well can we bound our uncertainty about false po

Thanks, I see what you mean. It's been a few years since I read that, and I'm certainly not well positioned to speak for, or about, the book. Pardon me for becoming bogged down in details -- I take it that the post is about deflat

I think the Fedex Store is operated by a private firm, and can therefore charge whatever it likes.

Every Marriott I have ever been in was chosen for me, because of their business-friendly group booking system. There's an agent-principle problem with hotels that rely on corporate group rate and conference customers. I went to the fed

I don't think it is inflammatory in isolation. I just wanted a citation for it. My objection had to do with the entire title, but that has now been changed to the actual article title. This conversation is confusing because it's h

OK, I guess I don't know that much about Xanax(TM). I meant, like 500mcg of alprazolam.

How about we start with _any_? I won't believe an inflammatory claim based on heresay alone. The claim in discussion was HiSilicon is "Huawei-owned", not "HiSilicon is Chineese." If the claimant meant something by &

Yeah. I'd say it was like I took half a Xanax. Relaxing and mildly dis-inhibiting, but I couldn't get to sloppy. I'd call it pleasantly relaxing, but not terribly strong. Perhaps out of an abundance of caution, I would hesita

This argument proves too much. By this reasoning, "Qualcomm-owned Cisco" is "injecting backdoors" into their chips as well.[1] The real title of the article is "0day vulnerability (backdoor) in firmware for HiSilico

I think it is underappreciated that what you can do with it is contingent on both the license and the values and motives of the devs and maintainers. There are lots of things you can do with linux that you can't do elsewhere because it
