As abeppu points out, this is their death estimate: 40.4 million [32.9 million–51.3 million] is their estimate on deaths. Further, covid deaths are severely undercounted. Our world in data reports 26 million excess deaths to date, about 5 m

With the older phones and the 90s computers, they were patently inadequate for the jobs they were doing. Every upgrade gave incredibly useful capacity. Now the phones are more than adequate. The upgrades are often fairly nice. Some years we

That's a good point, but I purposefully didn't included "distracted driver" in the list. I ought to have put "extremely sleep deprived driver". I personally have never driven drunk, extremely sleep deprived, ho

Web crawlers generally allow sites to remove them from the index. Are there any crawlers used for commercial purposes which refuse to remove sites from an index if they ask? The distinction from OpenAI is that there is no way to be removed

Indeed. Further to this, training on data involves copying it. To do so without permission robs authors of the right to contract their work for this training, either to OpenAi or any other third party.

I'm very excited about self driving cars. But I think this is a real question to be answered. The 80:20 rule applies in much of life, and it's probable that a small minority of drivers cause the majority of accidents and deaths. I

Has anyone seen an analysis of driving safety statistics if you avoid: * Drunk driving * Drugged driving * Driving very late at night * Sleep deprived driving * Driving with a vehicle with known safety issues or no safety inspection * Drivi

Mods: shortened title to make this fit. Full title said possible prolonged deterioration. Feel free to edit. Paper is examining the question. One notable stat. 8.8% of Spaniards aged 18-34 visited the ER 5+ times in the 12 months prior to N

This is not at all my experience. You can't just remain at age 22 your whole life, but I've found people of the same age can look radically different. The famous image of the trucker who had the sun on the left but not right side

Good point. The curious thing to me is why number of fires wasn't that low, even though area burned was at an all time low.

by graeme 3y ago
Hmm. Do you have any more info about 2020? This is an interesting theory. I note a few things though 1. The number of fires is trending down, but 2. The area burned is trending up 3. The number of fires in 2020 wasn’t noticeably different.

I’ve been getting really bad ads, so I’ve been blocking a set of advertisers. This might be why he is doing it. Though really I’m just making up for bad ad targeting

It’s false, at least for apple. The apple App Store rules require that the app can block bad users. It isn’t a requirement for a user block function That said this is a dumb plan

Not at all the same. Elon’s plan was Ukraine give up land, become neutral and not join NATO. That plan guarantees Russia can conquer the Ukraine rump state some time down the line. The NATO staffer remark said “trade some land for nato memb

False. Australia is the example often cited, but Australia caved and elected not to apply the law to Google and Facebook. Instead, Facebook and Google made deals outside of the law. These deals were surely larger than their earlier deals,

The media actual controls the summaries seen. They purposefully made large, enticing summaries in order to encourage clicks! They are free to write any summary they want.

I'm Canadian and I suspect our problem is that we're approaching this in earnest, not realizing that the Australian law was a shakedown and made no sense from an earnest perspective. We were advised by Australia's top policy

People share links with their friends online. If you login to facebook you will see links your friends shared. This is a major source of traffic for media, along with say sharing links via imessage. Almost no one logs onto facebook with the

This was in the comment you’re replying to. It covers your reply > Devaluing shame instead of targeting the parts of the contract that needed to be changed As the other comment said, you’re also discussing “being shamed” whereas the orig

Did you mean to reply to the person above me? My point was that is you are biking no matter how distorted it is from real world cycling you still train in movement. Whereas if debate gets corrupted you don’t necessarily learn wider skills.

The difference is you actually move from point A to point B in a bicycle race, and retain the skills of doing so in non-race conditions.

Don’t know why you’ve been downvoted. You’re correct. I forgot ADP was optin. This is likely why China allows it. Also possible ADP is off as an option in China. Of course this wouldn’t work for the UK system unless the UK demanded the iClo

To add to this, Apple is still adding security patches for iOS 15. That reaches all the way back to the iPhone 6s, released in 2015, eight years ago.

That’s separate from iMessage, which is end to end. Apple used to be able to access iMessages through iCloud backups. They changed their system worldwide, now they can’t. So presumably GCBD also lost access to iMessages in iCloud backups.

You seem to be using monopoly to mean “big” or some other definition. None of the companies you list are monopolies. Google is the closest in terms of market share but even that is a weak case. It is impossibly easy to get to Bing or DuckDu
