You're talking about consequences of regular flu. I'm talking about consequences of covid.

Last flu season a bunch of my family friends did not die from flu, nor did any relative suffer long term consequences from flu. My coworker from 5 years back died yesterday. He is 2 years younger than me. I am not even 40.

Herd immunity does not depend on the efficacy of the vaccine. It depends on the R_nought of the disease. There are several ways to reduce the R_nought below 1 (at which point we achieve herd immunity). Vaccines is just one of them. Claiming

"Herd immunity only applies if the vaccine ... prevents infection". There is no vaccine that prevents some kind of infection with 100% accuracy across all population. Basically implies you know jack about herd immunity.

It is just that I am accustomed to be able to personalize almost every aspect of Windows/Android. But MacOS or iOS just does not allow that. I have developed iOS apps. At work I facilitate research for many Mac users. Around last Chris

Maybe use a Chromebook first to understand how it is different from a typical Linux desktop?

Very subjective opinion. I found MacOS most disruptive to work. Things take ages to fix on Linux desktop. On the contrary Windows seems to me the most flexible OS of the lot precisely because it lets me run almost any video game. I also hav

Win11 is yet to crash on me. However I had this weird bug when the last update disabled my laptop keyboard (Lenovo Legion 5). I actually reset Windows a couple of times before figuring out that uninstalling and reinstalling the particular u

The article actually mentions ExplorerPatcher too. I experimented with several taskbar replacements and this is by far the best imo.

I want to throw in Tesla too. The minimal, buttonless dash is as dumb as the Windows 11 UI.

You can take a look at this article [1], I think it does a good job of explaining why black-starting a power grid is risky and time consuming, especially when not maintained well. "It’s a large stepwise process to build up load, build

We were introduced to algebra in 6th grade. Talking about Indian subcontinent in the 90s. I (and a lot other kids) did fine with it. Well there were many that didn't and they switched to humanities or business studies later. But even i

Is buying a house the most sensible option for someone sitting on enough cash for down payment? Or should they rent and invest the cash somewhere? Especially if they are risk-averse and not familiar to hands-on investing?

I think if we see from the mother's point of view, not the child, then the value of empathy can be more justified. I have a 6mo who is perfect in every way. If I know he wasn't going to be, or that he was going to be terminally il

There's a cave in Georgia where they found remains of a human being (or some ancestor) with teeth missing. However, it seems the human survived even after losing teeth, which clearly shows someone else was taking care of him/her,

I sometimes drive in complete silence. The friction between the tires and the asphalt is close to white noise. It contains a range of high and low frequencies that you can't easily filter out, something that I tried to deal with at a c

I'm happy to be driving on the road with other human drivers and have them crash into me. As long as I can prove I was not at fault, I can expect fair compensation. It seems if robots crash into me, I cannot expect fair compensation be

I think the maintainers and users are choosing to dedicate their skillset to the technology that serve their purpose the best. It is not MacOS's fault, and given Apple is a trillion-dollar company, it probably doesn't need partici

I've been using git sdk for Windows within vscode for the cygwin/msys experience, the msys package manager is a nice bonus. That said my less tech savvy lab mates absolutely love Moba.

Specially something with X11 support would be nice. Xquartz seems to be the only option but it has nowhere near as many features.

You're right, I left some pieces out for brevity. To elaborate, they were not picking up the Tesla from Austin and started for San Antonio straight away. They were vacationing, and as all vacationers do, they went sightseeing, eating o
