Yes when she took the job the stock was at $15 and sold it for $40. Granted much of the appreciation had nothing to do with Yahoo but I'm sure a worse executive would have messed up the Alibaba situation. She took a dying company, trie

I agree that vaccinating young and healthy people with the bivalent vaccine doesn't have much data supporting it. The rest of your claims are dubious at best. Yes COVID deaths are going down, but that's because the most vulnerable

Well, for one, the US response to the AIDS epidemic. Also calling it a catastrophe is just begging the question. Maybe every country in the world should have been more prepared to deal with a novel respiratory virus causing a global pandemi

Jay just retweeted something a few hours ago that says: "Fauci and @CDCDirector et al have actively participated in the greatest public health catastrophe in the last hundred years—and maybe ever." I can assure you the argument th

That wouldn't be unprecedented either. But it's hard to say with a straight face that SF losing 50k people is unprecedented among major US cities when by the same measurement in the same time period NYC lost 300k.

New York City lost 3.5% in the same time period, which is way, way more people in the absolute sense. So if SF is an abyss, then NYC must be apocalyptic right now. Also these figures are census estimates which are not accurate down to this

The numbers go way up in the relative sense but are still quite small in the absolute sense. Evolutionarily speaking I think the differences are irrelevant.

If you are driving in the "slow" lanes this is not the case. I generally cruise in the right or second to right lane with a large gap in front of me and it is certainly not more dangerous. Certainly faster traffic is passing on

You are right, I mean even though FTX has declared bankruptcy and SBF admitted that either his incompetence or malice is the cause, the government surely couldn't have enough probable cause to seize these clearly unrelated assets.

When they announced this I switched over to the weather app to prepare myself and it honestly isn't bad. The interface is different but all the data is in there.

Can you link me to the original studies that you are referring to about how masks were ineffective? I acknowledge there was confusing messaging to this effect very early on in the pandemic but I feel like it was corrected pretty quickly. Pe

The HCQ guys are condemned because it's been proven over and over again not to work and they ignore reality, give people bad advice which costs lives. Also I'm pretty sure no doctors or the government recommend that people be over

Are you aware that things have changed in the last two and a half years? The CDC has been talking about the limitations of cloth masks for over a year! If you want to be upset at the lack of perfect guidance initially, fine, but don't

If you are willing to dilute a few large, high quality studies with a multitude of small or low quality ones, then I'm fairly sure you could conclusively prove anything regardless of reality.

The authorizations for these vaccines had 10+ hour public meetings and hundreds of pages of supporting documentation. The studies listed the known data on side effects. Obviously the vaccines were not without risk, and when the government

The government didn't do that though (even though they could have!). Tons of people remain unvaccinated, though I acknowledge in certain cases the person had to find a different job more compatible with their inability to do risk analy

Given all the things the government is capable of doing (drafting you, imprisoning you, taxing you, taking your property, etc), you are putting way too high a standard on this. The government has an interest in the overall public health and

The initial safety trials for the vaccines involved tens of thousands and by the time you had the chance to get the vaccine it had been given to millions of people (with any adverse effects tracked). One of the vaccines was pulled off the m

I’m sure you mean well, but one of the few things we know for sure is that the virus is way, way, way more deadly than vaccine. If you are going to overlook all those RCTs run all throughout the world with different types of vaccines and hu

But why would a formerly super wealthy sex addict who always got whatever he wanted possibly want to kill himself when facing life in prison? It just doesn't make any sense.

There is no reason you can't mix the cryptological security of the Bitcoin Blockchain without the proof of work part. If I (a trusted third party) maintained a giant public database that anybody could append to, it would be trivial to

Yeah I don't understand this at all. If I told you right now that I'm arriving at LAX in 1 hour you still have no chance of finding me, and it's transient, I'll be somewhere else private very soon. I don't see how

The copyright notice and license is referenced in the JS library, that's enough. This is literally no different from any reason person using bootstrap on their site in terms of license. Does every site powered by bootstrap have a link

They are not hotlinking ghost urls... JSdelivr is a giant JS CDN. Ghost is in the url because they developed the library so it's the GitHub path. You could use this library on your website right now... They open sourced it!

Just stick with adthrive or mediavine and you'll be fine. Many others are scammier (though in fairness they'll all probably outperform adsense). You can search Reddit and you'll see the same advice over and over again: Media

If you are actually generating that much on adsense I think you'd likely make 20-30% more if you moved your ads to a high quality agency like adthrive or mediavine (those 2 are the only ones I'd firmly recommend over adsense). I&

If it were so cut and dry they wouldn't have chased his signature years later before the acquisition. A lawyer told them to do that. I think it's more interesting of a legal case than you give it credit for. He isn't denying

Another key difference is that software is never finished, you can always fix a bug or add a feature or tinker with it. When you build a piece of furniture for yourself or especially somebody else, when you finish it, it's done. All th
