Regular people should not use non-reusable anything. Just because I can spare $100 doesn’t mean I get to trash the earth with disposable junk. Make reusable/washable masks and then I don’t care if people cover their face or behind with

You are making two claims 1. If there is extra profit one year, these companies will willingly reduce premiums instead of giving bonuses, stock buy backs, or dividends to investors. I don’t know if you have observed the stock market recentl

If it was just PR, companies will spend $10 on ads talking about it for every $1 they give away. Give credit to the regulation when it works - next time someone says regulation is bad.. remember this.

Surprising this is not linked to from the homepage. They should, to get more people trying it out. I have been waiting for Kernel 5.4 based LTS release.

Thanks for the link. About the lack of resources problem though, I have a few points to make. I think one of the unfortunate things that happened is indeed the arrival of new languages. Go, Rust, Swift, whatever is taking away a bunch of se

In my personal experience, extensions written in C don't necessarily compile at first attempt because the dependency management there is even worse. May be it fails with a missing openssl or readline library and I have to go find whate

I teach Python to some middle school kids. Pip vs Pip3 and PYTHONPATH wasted entirety of two class sessions. By the way, Python should go beyond Go. It should single binary the someone can install without root privileges. The fact that I ha

How about we at least track those deaths caused by unavailable treatment or postponed, but critical surgeries. If my community is affected I don’t care if Covid is killing us directly or indirectly. They all should be counted at least under

Curious why CF needs to worry about side-channel attacks when all software run on those machines belong to / written by them. They do have a “workers” product with 3rd party code but they can easily keep storage servers out of that poo

About the open-office vs individual- in this particular case though individual offices would have been just as dangerous, since the ventilation system is all connected. although I agree the lower density of workers would have helped.

God, give them a break. People who work there are risking so much to keep a job and in turn provide us a safe shopping experience. I wouldn’t want to burden them more by returning something you can very well store and use. If the person was

Those countries also have higher population densities and public transport usage than some of the western countries. How can you say the mask isn’t helping?

May be having the inability to produce for the required (life-saving) demand should invalidate the “lost sales” argument. Anyways, wait for the deaths to mount and they will all come around in fear of retribution

Oh my! You really do this? Most sites these days ask Security questions and it is no longer a single click from email. In addition, certain sites log you out after the change-password action and require you to explicitly login right after.

We will discover years later that the delay was intentional, so that certain investments/under the table deal with certain companies can occur first.

I fail to see how planting evidence crosses a higher moral barrier than killing someone. By the way, in both cases, the person who makes the decision genuinely believes, probably on wrong information, that the person they are entrapping is
