The article also states "So far the year 2020 has been the third least deadly year per capita ever in the country, despite the tragic and global Covid-19 pandemic.", so no.

I predict none of those doomsday predictions will come to pass, and everything will be back to pre-covid levels soon enough (maybe 2-5 after the pandemic recedes). In the meantime, the sector is in for a rough ride, yes. I don't have m

Take for instance, a diet. It's incredibly difficult to assess compliance with a diet (especially when the diet does not call for precise to-the-gram measurement of ingredients). The best way to make this work is to feed the subjects i

Was curious, and found a "custom search engine" (previous name of this product) for my tumblr blogs (which are still online) that I made back in the days. I tried it ... and it's terrible for my use case. Because these blogs

This is also what I remember, but then I also remember that the specs of my first and last XP machines were miles apart. The first had 256MB or RAM...

An explanation of why you didn't like it would be more helpful.

You will never make any friends making this kind of comments. Nitpicking is bad enough, calling the OP mistaken without evidence is worse. It's just rude.

Your experiences are not necessarily representative of that of all iOS developers. Even if they are representative of 99% of experiences - imagine the damage and anger caused by the remaining 1%.

Seems factual, but raised my eyebrows a couple times. Comparing Vitamin D to steroids is completely gratuitous. Sure, they're structurally similar, but so are oxygen (O2) and Ozone (O3). Have you ever tried to breathe Ozone instead of

I don't think the issue with big social networks (and other big tech actors) is one of ignorance. It seems to me many of the bad things they do are very deliberate. Sometimes the things they don't care about are also very delibera

Does anyone know if these speeds will scale (well, remain constant) as the number of customers increase? For instance, the 4G network can and does get overloaded in crowded places, could the same thing occur to satellite internet?

Agreed those are not the best examples. This one (JFK reading the Rick & Morty copypasta) strikes me as much more convincing however: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkH2zEHJ2Ng

The problem I see with this is that the "What's wrong with SQL" is an excellent argument against SQL the language , but not SQL the engine . The optimal solution to that problem seem to be a syntactic skin over an existing

Not the point. OP is talking about playing field between companies not countries. He's saying "TikTok should not gather invasive data ... neither should US-based company". If you oppose that, then you're basically saying

Tangential... but who exactly is Microsoft's president? I always thought that "the president" of a company was the CEO (that's how it seems used in my native French anyhow). What's the difference here?
