Airplanes are actually fairly efficient, the “problem” is that it makes long distance travel convenient and affordable.

Is the trend towards better? I used to think so but the stories I heard in my time in Google was really, really depressing. The problem is that getting worse can be a self-reinforcing thing. Once a few women get badly treated and leaves the

I have played Pandemic a few times, and it ended up like you mention. 1-2 players took control while the others were mostly passive. DoW looks interesting, but not sure how possible it is with 2-3 players and it is harder to get a larger gr

So the “correct” response is to not play their game and not play along with the tactics. Very likely you will never be affected of terror so don’t spend your life worrying about it. Police should worry a bit about it of course.

My answer is actually “No”. Terror, both from right wing and religious extremists is extremely rare.

Any examples of large co-op board games that you find interesting?

Or they can not play your game and keep doing what they are doing as it is working. Just because you say they only have two options doesn't mean it is true. There are almost always more options available to others than you can think of

The problem is that it is at least 10x easier to fix Earth than to terraform Mars, and all the problems we have on Earth are going to be there as well.

Does anyone know if there is something similar for Linux?

It makes no sense for governments to save money. With negative interests and good ways to spend the money it will pay itself pack in the future. Of course depending on how it is used. For example improving schools almost always has a positi

The US also needs at some point to acknowledge it's past evils. Perhaps no penance is needed, but it is need to acknowledge the evils of the confederacy (and many other things like redlining, but I feel those are widely believed as wro

You might not have to relocate, send me an email if interested.

Mostly agree 100% with you, there is one caveat: you can’t restrict travel inside the USA, so it’s harder to keep things local. For scale it clearly should scale, and there should be efficiencies you can find in bigger countries.

Of course testing scales with the size of the country.

Contract testing is no go in the US, herd immunity is not realistic. It’s open up as much as we can and wait for vaccine. Is not going to be good if there is a second wave. I think South Korea, Hong king and Singapore already had second wav

It means NYC must do this three times more to get to herd immunity, and strike the right balance each time. Still it is far from safe since people can come from the rest of the country so it’s not a real herd immunity.

by kmonsen 6y ago
We will hopefully not get hers immunity. Spain, Italy and Sweden are not close yet and they were pretty close to capacity, same with NYC. There is no safe way to get to herd immunity, it’s vaccine or nothing.

Still better in some cases than relying in government taking action :-( Note that this is a one way relationship, corporations must comply with laws, but can also do other things.

I don't think there is any obligation to do more than follow the law. I believe Amazon is here trying to go one step above and do what it believes is right. Clearly corporations are allowed to put more stringent requirements on itself

They are all smart, because that is actually cheaper. The manufacturers earn money on selling what your view, ads and selling subscriptions. And they make more on this than it costs to make the TV "smart". There was a Vergecast wi

I mean yes, but that doesn't really cover it. Many people think the DNC is bending too far over and getting played at the moment. Like the approved the Trump slush fund, and he said what oversight? It is not normal for the opposition p

Can't believe someone is saying this right now. DNC is currently behaving as if they were the party in power trying to fix the corona issues and the GOP is like maybe we will let you get test if you give us tax cuts for the rich. It is

There are no statics because the police refuses to track it. The best we have show clear racial bias: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02601-9

Almost all of this is completely non-starters if we don't end the blue wall of silence and qualified immunity. The first autopsy in this case came back blaming existing health conditions and other causes (someone standing on his neck).
