That's what most people, and especially leftists, don't get. If you look at it objectively, any ideology that offers an utopia is inevitably detrimental in the long run, be it Third Reich or Communist International. When the ends

Not just "until there's a vaccine", but "until there's a safe and effective vaccine", which is a feat several orders of magnitude harder, that has not been achieved against any other coronavirus.

You've only postponed the inevitable though. Virus is gonna virus - it's not going anywhere, ever. I'm not downplaying. I really hope you've used this time to prepare and didn't just sit on your behind hoping it&#x2

That part is actually easy. We just send them to geowwy's neighborhood, so he could have the pleasure of getting stabbed or shot in the street for his wallet.

Not that I know of. The stats are designed to be maximally impenetrable and misleading, and I'm not entirely sure why. Basically the stats that matter are: hospitalizations, ICU bed utilization, and excess deaths. Everything else is bu

Yes, since the original article is about new cases, not totals per se. Normalized totals will be the same everywhere - everyone will get it eventually.

That's only if you fail at basic arithmetics. All of them are worse than the US. Scaled up to US population, France would have 190K new cases per day. Italy - 168K. Poland - 185K. And so on and so forth down the list.

Another thing that's helping Australia is that they're heading into summer. Normalized by population the worst non-tiny (10M+) countries to be right now seem to be France, Italy, Belgium and Poland. And it'd be even worse in

They've taken _many_ similar actions before this one. Maybe not as brazen, though. And I think the drop is in part caused by the likelihood of heavy regulatory scrutiny these actions brought on. That did not have to happen, Jack brough

NYPost gained 200K followers, and Twitter lost 21% of its market cap. Brilliant idea, Jack. I'm sure shareholders won't sue you for this.

For me it was a fall as I was trail biking. Not anything white-knuckle, just a fairly pedestrian trail. I fell off and folded my ankle 90 degrees inward. For the guy who broke his clavicle it was slippery pavement - some leaves - he fell si

It's remarkable how many people I know, including myself, had significant bicycle-related trauma. I broke my ankle in three places due to a fall (do not recommend by the way, once the shock wears off the pain is pretty bad, and then af

There's a difference. Greenwald won a Pulitzer _before_ it was awarded for "orange man bad" as a sole qualification.

The point is, mainstream media (also known as fake news) spent the last 4 years baselessly "crying wolf" on a daily basis, completely discrediting itself in the process.

Regarding "crying wolf": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1ab6uxg908 . The walls are closing in! It's a bombshell!

That's nothing. One of NYTimes top stories for the past 4 years was a fake dossier and "Russian collusion" that didn't exist. And they got us into a multi-trillion dollar war in the Middle East, too. https://w

We've been running long term trial on eggs and butter for hundreds of years, and we still don't know if they're healthy or not. The opinion flips in polarity every 5 years or so. What makes you believe long term trials would

The one with Kanye West is worth a watch also. Dude is nuts, and I'm not a fan of his music, but after watching the interview, I have to concede that I was overly dismissive towards him, and there's a method to his madness. No won

This kind of idiocy is why we should reject overly elaborate CoCs. I'm sure Joel himself would agree with Jeremy in a face-to-face conversation, because Jupyter is indeed great, just not for everything. Adults know nothing is 100% &quo

Could be that it's harder to "clean up CMake setup" than implement Bazel setup. Google compiles everything from source, so this is probably just a repackaged variant of what they use internally in their monorepo.
