Given the ongoing statistics coming out of South Korea (which I'd suggest are the most accurate) where only one person under 50 has died. It seems that these safeguards would be best spent around those aged 60+ and perhaps those 50+ w

Without disagreeing with what you wrote, you are conflating ethical and moral with legal and criminal. They are not the same and it makes it difficult to understand the foundation upon which you rest.

The only reliable number are deaths assuming people aren't hiding (or burning) the bodies. The number of tests are reliable among themselves, but we can't necessarily compare specificity and sensitivity of the tests against each

Here's a quote from the first link you have: "That means the total number of reported cases is very likely an underestimate—and by not counting many mild or asymptomatic cases, we’re likely overestimating the disease’s overall mor

The solution to poor leadership in crisis planning and action is not to give those same leaders unprecedented power. This sort of outbreak is exactly the type of crisis for which we rely on governments to plan. Here we are facing an oncomi

They plan to close them until spring holidays late next month. We can expect much of the US to do the same if the virus comes in during the winter season. This is a big reason why the stock market is dropping.

I don't recall reading about their rationale that way. Only the unholy way in which they defended it, while swapping it out then sequestering all iota until claimed through centralized means. Sadly, I don't think that the blind d

From this: "By 2019, members of the IOTA community earned a reputation for routinely harassing women security experts, like Open Privacy founder Sarah Jamie Lewis, who found flaws in IOTA research." Fair enough that it's impl

The trits are bizarre and introduce complexity but isn't necessarily a critical flaw. I don't see anything in the article about them. They rolled their own crypto, but later corrected it. Indeed, it has had their centralized Coo

It would be nice to read an attack on the technology rather than an article highlighting hater quotes on the feuding misogynist, ego-maniacal founders. Iota remains a speculative cryptocurrency. It does not rely on the technology before it

I feel the same way about the dollar. The inability to compute exactly how many there are, nor their rate of creation. Their limited use beyond a specified geographic boundary. The confident speculation based on ever increasing underlying

Indeed, they did seize bitcoins. I thought the dollar equivalent would be obvious to those who read the article. Also, the CAB would absolutely (and has) seized foreign currency. They will seize cars, watches, real estate, documents, lap

Since Facebook and Google shape the information that is seen using a proprietary algorithm, they have become publishers. Perhaps if their algorithm's were open and available, they may have an argument in their defense. Until then, it
