Florida also has a significantly older population than NY, so those figures should be age-adjusted to take into account COVIDs disparate mortality across age groups. [1] Amongst large states Florida (239) is much closer to California (216)

There are acknowledged side effects of the vaccine, notably myocarditis that is a risk for men in their teens and twenties (the risk is several fold higher for men in this age group than it is for women). The Israeli and CDC data variously

Orwell said, "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them." Given the record of technocratic missteps, misguided social engineering, bad policies and wars, one could make the case that we could coll

Walter Benjamin talked about this problem in 1935 [0]. It's particularly an issue with photography as an art form. For instance Jeff Wall's masters are all stored as RAW digital files and displayed as light boxes [1]. Theoreticall

This is such a good point. "Web 2.0" didn't really emerge as a term of art until there was a need to describe the widespread adoption of UGC, REST, & AJAX and blockbuster web applications like gmail replacing desktop appl

It really depends on the country you’re in. For instance compare the English and German Wikipedia pages for Gerhard Richter. The English page has plenty of photos of his work under fair use while the German one only has links to works hoste

You can do this sort of thing in ITA Matrix, it still takes a lot of work to craft the itinerary and learn the syntax, but I have used it to do exactly what you suggest, and found cheap 36 hour bonus stayovers.

That sounds like a Ford implementation. My cheap aftermarket CarPlay deck works pretty much flawlessly in a 2004 Explorer.

A few years back I got a ~$300 head unit that supports CarPlay to replace the CD/tapedeck in my 2004 truck and it is still streets ahead of any modern first party offerings I’ve seen. If automakers had the sense to leave climate contro

It still really depends how far down the stack you go. One of the better observations Eric Raymond made in his essay The Magic Cauldron was that the closer you get to infrastructure the stronger the demands become for open protocols (emphas

There are health benefits to periodically fasting from food for longer than the 8 hours spent sleeping. Many Jewish people who practice Shabbat extol the modern benefits of staying offline for 36 hours every week. Why assume that a daily 8

Co-author here, the discussion section of the paper details many of the limitations raised by commenters here in greater depth. People seem to be debunking claims that aren't made in the paper. I'm biased but I don't think Na

I just did the demo puzzle on an iPhone (11 Pro running 15.1), and I found it worked surprisingly well for a phone screen, and I didn’t have any problems completing it. Nicely done.

There’s a reason why heavy cargo bikes originated in flat places like Christiania, and the Netherlands. Walking a Larry vs. Harry Bullit up a steep hill is hard enough empty, but with 3 kids and groceries in the bucket I can see a lot of pe

I’m no fan of the Chinese regime, but maybe they just concluded that the preening do-nothingness that goes on at these summits isn’t worth getting mixed up with. From last week: “China has reported overnight to be planning 150 new nuclear r
