Whether you agree with the government response to covid or not, I think it’s fair to say it was authoritarian. Journalists generally took the position that more rules and restrictions were necessary and often applauded the strongest governm

I have enough privilege that I don’t need to work 2 jobs so for me, time and health are two finite resources that I will never trade for. Even the wealthiest trillionaire can only buy so much of either.

I just setup my rpi4 as a gigabit router with a USB Ethernet for the wan port. I can hit 980mbps and negligible latency. It’s got slightly more spread on small packet sizes compared to a 300$ gaming wifi router. Where it really sucks is VPN

It is easy to dismiss any scientific study based on their limitations but to date, no other study has attempted to place any controls. We have mechanistic models based on incomplete transmission knowledge (is it airborne?) and we have obser

There are “high-risk” people in care homes who want to visit their relatives for the holidays. To call these people selfish is way off the mark. Human beings are more than a simple statistic to optimize for political benefit. Perhaps it’s t
