Even if we ignore the fact that an overdose is not a suicide, those 90k are right in line with the trend from prior years. 2018 and 2019 were a bit anomalous, but if you look at the CDC data is is quite clear that there is nothing unexpect

It will be interesting to watch Apple lean hard into privacy as a feature. It is a smart play given their position in the market, and fits the current zeitgeist but it does seem to set a bar that Apple is going to have to clear going forwa

It's almost like everyone else is working together to create the actual de facto standard and Tesla can join or stay out in the cold. If one company is doing X and a lot of other companies are collectively doing Y then X is not the st

The other alternative is that Solzhinitsyn and Eliot had their heads so far up their own asses that they imagined any rebuke or slight as a sure sign of the end of days for civilization when in fact it was not. You could fill entire librar

Not talking about the Irish attack, but rather the Colonial Pipeline one. The ransomware group in that case are a well-known Russian gang who ended up putting out a press release apologizing for the inconvenience to everyone and that they

Simply not true. I have been using Firefox Focus and 1Blocker on iOS for years and ads are not significantly more noticeable than on desktop Firefox with uBlock Origin. I think you quite misinformed on this subject.

From what I recall at the time the issue with back of house workers is that if anyone on the line has it then everyone is likely to get it. The kitchen is crowded, it is hot (making PPE seldom used), people are shouting over each other and

No, it simply repeats the commonly understood fact that it is better to have a diet rich in specific nutrients than to try to use supplements to make up the difference. Everything from dosage to bio-availability of supplements shows them t

The 100,000 smaller reactors can still be put in the same place as the 100 giant reactors to make inspection and monitoring easier. The modular design makes incremental capacity upgrades easier, makes maintenance and repair easy, and helps

Worked for metafilter, and any fee that raises the bar for sock puppeting, shitposting and other such behaviors is a good thing. Elitist? So be it.

Since those accounts cost $99+ I would be surprised and demand proof if you suggested that they were available for less than list price. There are too many examples of a simple entry price being used successfully to limit spam and filter b

Using the US as an example, too much land is used for cereal grains like corn and wheat, to the point where it has become politically necessary to subsidize worthless and inefficient usages like ethanol just to get rid of the surplus. Ergo

NFT/blockchain scam applied to EDM tracks -- the elevator pitch just seems to write itself. All that is missing is a deep learning component and a blog article on the site talking about their use of either Rust or Tailwind.

This is the most pathetic attempt to lie with statistics I have seen all week, congrats! JFC, can you not even be bothered to read the stat you tried to pick to prove your point? The rate according to data you provided was 20.3/100k.
