This is quite clearly a policy failure. I don’t understand why the US isn’t subsidizing production for something as important as masks or other medical supplies. Obviously it is a national security issue, the same way food security is and w

I don’t understand why people are so eager to trust this company with sensitive business information. They’re totally untrustworthy after what they’ve done. It doesn’t matter what they pretend they’re fixing. Their word is worthless. What i

You don’t remember the whole Australia debacle when their government passed a law allowing them to secretly compel software developers to compromise whatever they’re working on? This is basically the same thing, where we know the Chinese go

Then you must not have been talking to people. I’ve had to argue with way too many people since January who believe masks don’t work. I don’t know if people here are living in a pro-mask bubble or what, because there are too many people who

This study really isn’t sufficient proof for anything. Not even weak evidence. We need far better studies before deciding to give up on a drug.

Plenty of people in the West are of the opinion that anything less than an N95 is useless. I know because I've argued with them and see comments everywhere to that effect. It doesn't help that the CDC and other Western health inst

Oh wow. I didn’t know it was that uncommon. I’m fairly short, so every gf I’ve had was taller. But it’s terribly clear women have filtered me out often because of my height. It’s depressing.

> I don't ask for that level of efficiency, Well, why the crap not? Why is the west so unbelievably bad at handling this epidemic? Why aren't we able to produce our own masks? These things are essential and it was all off-shore

Am I taking crazy pills? The US and Europe subsidize their agricultural industries heavily and have done so for decades. They're fully or largely capable of feeding themselves - and yes, precisely because these places decided that food

Except there are situations such as this one where it doesn't matter how cooperative countries are. Even China was unable to produce enough medical supplies for their own needs, much less for the entire world. The US and Europe absolut

I'm curious about why people aren't naming any courses that exemplify the good or bad things they're mentioning.

What MOOC did you take where you had to write an interpreter?

Aw man. That sounds pretty cool. I guess there isn't anything comparable out there? I'm interested in contributing to the Linux kernel, but it's just so hard to get into it.

You're getting it wrong and you're confusing everybody. Detergent isn't non-toilet soap. Toilet soap can also be liquid soap. It took me all day to figure this out and understand what you were talking about. Under toilet so

And Europe's policy needs to change. Nobody is saying dealing with this epidemic is going to be free. Yet the doctor is one of many who are dismissing the likelihood of somebody having coronavirus just because they haven't been to

Test, test, test. South Korea has tested 100.000 people. In Europe? Nobody is doing anything. You can't respond to something when you have zero idea what the scale is. We're literally seeing Europe stick its head in the sand.someb

I don't understand. How are doctors this stupid? We have obvious communal transmission in France (and other countries). And if nobody is fucking testing for it, the doctor can't fucking say that you can't have it. What happen

Being downvoted for an uncontroversial opinion is also boring and quite shitty, and becoming quite typical of this site. Wish the site would finally get rid of the fucking downvote system. If people disagree, they should actually comment an

I don't see a moral dilemma. The journals don't pay anything for the research that they publish. In fact, they paywall research that is often funded by the public.

That's a consideration that makes sense though, since France's reliance on fossil fuels is very low and they can rely on nuclear for base load. Germany, instead, has decided to replace nuclear with renewables where something like

I've seen this argument before but I'm not sure it's the case (anymore). Example: https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 . I've also seen other similar conclusions elsewhere. It's worth loo

I'm not 100% sure. I remember reading this about the MH17 (satellite-based infrared tracking) and assumed similar would be possible in this case. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/07/how-us-satell
