The number of infections is low in the US but we have a lot of data from China and south east Asia where it’s more prevalent. 800 people have been infected in total so far with about a 50% mortality rate since the late 90s.

You won’t want to live your life normally if there is a 60% mortality rate airborne virus around.

This flu has a 60% mortality rate. If it becomes airborne you can bet there will be lockdowns.

The Beatles did experiment a lot though. A lot of their songs have very obscure chords and modifications for their time when it wasn’t easy to find information.

You can have selective outrage. Insulin is clearly overpriced. Semaglutide, maybe not as much.

Yeah you can’t know whether something has been measured or not. You measure it, you get a value. You don’t know if it has been measured/collapsed on the other end.

There’s no doubt there but India has had a late start and is a democracy, not an authoritarian state. It will get there, it’s going to take a lot longer than China.

Being a copycat is how you kickstart your ecosystem. Everything in China was and for the most part is a copycat of western companies.

Byju’s is downsizing, it doesn’t mean they’re “fake”. Is Meta fake by that metric? Adani is already back to where they were stock wise since Hindenburg. Flipkart literally has tens of millions of customers.

It’s hard for many billion companies to be fake. Do you have any sources for your claims?

Interesting. I guess the impression that a lot of people have of Romania is that it is riddled with violent crime.

It’s because in the latest labor report that came out this week, it’s mentions that 55% of the workforce are self employed in India. These are mainly small scale entrepreneurs running restaurants and small shops. Educated folk are usually l

I luckily have one where I live. I love the prices. They’re always $2-4 and makes it so easy to find something you would never otherwise stumble upon.

They are much smaller, about half the size of the Chiquita ones and slightly less sweet and harder. They are called Elaichi bananas.

I hope he gets pardoned. Trump pardoned some straight vermin and I just don’t feel all that much hate towards SBF (I did lose a few thousand). I have to say I don’t see Biden being so blatantly “teamist” though I wish he would.

Oh interesting. This isn’t just a bridge toll, this is a surcharge on top of that. This is going to kill traffic in Manhattan. The PATH is about to get really crowded (more than it is already).

I haven’t lived in NYC for a few years now but wasn’t the toll to cross the bridge already between $12-15? How is this a significant change?

Caravaggio was my favorite artist with the chiaroscuro style when I was naive about art and he still is now when I’m not.
