I haven't been shouting from the rooftops because I'm not an epidemiologist and don't really want to get into an argument, but none of the low/medium/high death estimates that I've seen have seemed plausible to

I've also heard that lack of / loss of sense of smell and Alzheimer's are correlated.

There are a tiny handful of smells (perhaps 3) that I encounter very rarely (maybe once every few years), and for whatever reason, they bring back childhood memories of a particular place more vividly than just about any other form of recal

Whoops... Yeah, you're right. You wouldn't expect to see instructions like bne, bge, etc. that depend on key material directly, so you wouldn't be able to rely the instruction pointer alone. Instead, you might see instruction

To be fair, "restricting" flash readout while allowing hardware debug access always seemed like a minefield, and I would hope that anyone with a security sensitive application would have seen this from a mile away. You could have

That's an antibody detection test, not an RNA sequencing test. You need to have had the virus for long enough for your body to have started to produce antibodies against the virus. It's useful for determining whether the cough you

I had the good fortune of taking Hanrahan's introductory computer graphics class at Stanford several years ago. He's a great teacher and the class was a lot of fun. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy as well. Congratulations!

I think you have that backwards. False negative seems extremely plausible. If you're sick, but your viral load is low, it should be possible to collect a sample without a virus particle. If the sample doesn't contain a viral parti

> that would imply we're going to need to quarantines for a few weeks every few weeks for, what, a year? More? There's no way this action is sustainable. That's exactly what it implies (or a continuous lockdown for months)

> The crop of shutdowns over the weekend were billed as 2-3 weeks.. Err, what? Exactly. People seem to be mistaking the incubation period (~two weeks) for the length of time the pandemic will last (months at minimum). It's impossibl

I really don't see how anyone expects this to be over by June. Exponential growth at the current rate would have it burning through the global population by the end of June, but since exponential growth becomes logistic growth after an

Wikipedia-grade non-biologist here, so again, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. As far as I'm aware, antibodies don't stick around after they're no longer needed... They're produced by B cells when an infection

Older Republicans are the ones spewing and buying into this crap, which is not surprising, since that's where a lot of the "you'll pry my liberty from my cold dead fingers" attitude resides. https://www.washin

Warehouses are huge spaces with lots of stuff and relatively few people. You could have 10 - 20 people running a million square foot warehouse. You could have half that in an emergency situation. These workers can have their own tasks that

Mail, truck delivery, etc. can operate with relatively little person to person contact, and it helps the rest of the public maintain lower levels of person to person contact by reducing the need to go to physical stores. I don't believ

There's the now famous anecdote that even Stroustrup rates himself a 7/10 at C++ proficiency. I've also worked on a handful of largeish (10k - 100k line) C++ projects both pre and post C++11, and also consider my C++ proficie

Your example is a mockery of what was claimed, and I think you're being disingenuous. You're using a generic "disagreement" and "potted plant" rather than "employer tried to improperly fire an employee&quo

I was responding to an assertion about who has the moral high ground here. The law does not dictate this. Repercussions that stem from breaking the law also have no bearing on whether or not an action can be morally justified. You are tal

I don't think we're likely to agree here, but I'll lay it out anyway. The top-level comment tried to describe the moral high ground as directly dependent on strict adherence to the letter of the contract. This is the key issu

The financial stakeholders in these banks and in Europe as a whole have a powerful motivation to contain this pandemic.

Yeah, she could have. There's often social pressure to shut up, sign whatever they put in front of you, and take the severance money. It can be extremely difficult to go against this pressure, especially if you're not particularly

Maybe there isn't a moral high ground here? You can't sign a contract that allows someone to murder you -- there's case law supporting that. But you can sign a contract that limits your future ability to speak freely. Regar

Not only can happen, this is often what happens by default. You go to a doctor, then the doctor and the insurance have several months of ping pong during which you get about half a ream of "This is not a bill" documents that sho
