>Should we regulate that? No, we should regulate idiots in cars. This is akin to the argument that we should replace steering wheel airbags with massive spikes in the center to promote safe driving. Could it work? Maybe, but seatbelts an

After having used jq for some heavy data processing (building an entire Markdown document from a huge slab of JSON with no external tools), I am inclined to agree. However, I think this may be indicative of the task you are trying to comple

High class escorts don't only offer sex. They have "Girlfriend Experience" packages where you can go out on dates, take them to restaurants, spend the day together, etc. For a lot of people this is more attractive than no str

It's hard to tell. I recently visited my homeland of Albania and was surprised to learn that things like food delivery / ridesharing apps did not exist at all. Someone who goes there could probably make a killing just copying what

Isn't this the point of the monetary hold? You can just raise it until the amount of entries become manageable. I'm sure higher level orgs would easily put down $10k to talk to a developer at Microsoft. For indie devs, numbers lik

I wish there was some sort of official guidelines on when the black bar is appropriate. There is no doubt that Mrs. Johnson helped accelerate the field of computer science and legitimized its existence, as not just a branch of mathematics,

I don't have a source for the claim about men, but the idea that smokers are susceptible comes from what we know about SARS, which is that it is a respiratory disease. COVID-19 is very similar to SARS so we can say with confidence that

It can still be released from a lab without being genetically engineered. It is possible that they had a sample retrieved from a cave somewhere, and that is what somehow escaped. That would explain the unprecedented response. I think the co

Chinese air quality is godawful, and this is a respiratory disease, so the large fatality rate makes sense. It is more important to look at ages of those who die and so far it appears to be far more fatal to those over 50. Individually the

It took me a bit to grok this but I think I finally understand it. Super clever. Now, how would you do greater than / less than comparisons?

I'm guessing it might be censored for national security reasons. The same mechanism that successfully deploys 60 satellites could probably also successfully deploy 60 warheads. Or 60 nefarious spy satellites.

There were a ton of crypto startups around that time...haven’t seen any press from them since, with the exclusion of Coinbase, which seems to be doing well.

The US has no jurisdiction to arrest Chinese soldiers on Chinese land. How could it be illegal? They would become prisoners of war in a war that doesn't legally exist.

This has also led to the in-joke, "it's impossible to die of the flu in China."

It's not a fantasy, but it's also not entirely malicious here. I can't find a source off the top of my head but the way China issues death reports is substantially different than how doctors do it in the West. In China if you

Why can't we just use the existing hulls to build more ships?

Oh wow. It's really cool that the developers put the effort in to denoting the difference. Thank you!
