Normally I wouldn't submit something like this. But there seems to be dramatic overreach by social media platforms of late, putting free speech in peril.

Evidence could come from communications. Such a large scale coverup would have required quite a lot of exchanges. Even with China being somewhat opaque and inaccessible to foreign intelligence, there could be digital trails.

"The Seeker posted Deigin's theory on Reddit, which promptly suspended his account permanently." Chilling. If true, this calls for a lot of introspection.

For me, Macromedia Fireworks CS4. It does everything I need, so I don't feel like upgrading to Adobe's new cloud subscription plans.

Democracies have inherent inefficiencies, which need to be compensated. Everything else being equal, dictatorships can ramp up infrastructure faster than any democracy. Tariffs should have favoured manufacturing in free countries, to encour

From the announcement text, I assumed Language Server support as well. Not your fault, since you haven't mentioned it specifically. However, Language Server is way more than syntax support and a huge time saver for Typescript developer

Typescript compilation doesn't use all the cores available on the CPU; I think it maxes out at 4 as of now [1]. This might be working well for M1, which has 4 high performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. [1]: https://githu

> JavaScript is such a polarising topic and I wonder why. If you ask me, the reasons are quite uncomfortable; and has parallels to how a lot of prejudice is seen in society when upward mobility happens. JS now encroaches server-side jobs

I think it's a terrible idea, which works against small startups who can't afford these high value domain names. It's been around for years, most famously Google's docs.new, sheets.new etc.

That's single threaded performance though. Snapdragons have more cores at the expense of single core performance.

Is it that far behind? Benchmarks aren't everything, but it's probably as good as other metrics. A14 is ahead of SD888 in Geekbench (which has historically favored Apple CPUs), and behind on Antutu (which is more considerate to Sn

The benchmark uses Snapdragon 865, not the newer generation. The Snapdragons also run at mobile phone power budgets.

I am objecting to people making up numbers, when no such data is available. Like the parent post for instance, connecting reports of crematoriums being full to order-of-magnitude scale (10X or more) undocumented Covid deaths. There are howe

by jeswin 6y ago
Well, I am only objecting to unsupported numbers being thrown around. How do you go from "crematoriums being pushed to the limit" to 10-100X Covid deaths? Extraordinary claims (such as up to 3 million deaths in ten days) require e

I've lived in Kerala for twenty years. Can attest to this being due to better healthcare. There's also very little underreporting of deaths happening (my sister's a doctor directly involved with the government effort). It&#x

by jeswin 6y ago
Exactly. In fact, the under-reporting is closely linked to how well developed a state is. It's unfortunate that even in these times, propaganda (from both sides) has completely taken over rational analysis.
