Europe has way better social safety net and labor rules. The way to have done this was to have a swift, effective response to the virus. We missed that. Now we are suffering the consequences. Other places did better and are not having to

The actual thing to do would be a mandatory 14-ish-day quarantine on arrival at that point.

What doctors are finding out about the damage done to younger people who survive a serious brush with COVID is not reassuring. And the problems they experience will have an impact economically going forward.

Most of the side-effects aren't severe. The worst cited are usually blindness and deadly heart arrhythmia. The problem is when you start giving it out to a lot of people, you start to see those low-incidence side-effects increasingly

I will continue to refrain from looking at anything the Fed might be doing. I already have enough on my plate to worry about.

And Boeing wasn't really on a winning streak going into all this.

The difficulty there is you're talking about giving it to a lot of people in an outpatient setting. This is the worst case in terms of risk trade-offs: Without being admitted as a patient, you will not be monitored as closely especiall

They're all companies. They'll take as much as they can. It's just how companies are. Don't make the mistake of anthropomorphizing them.

The main innovation google has seemed to make is to create products that scale with nearly zero customer service overhead. They have half-assed algorithms that mostly do something approximating a thing that might sorta be kind of near almo

The average crypto startup or exchange is probably a scam. So maybe not the best measure.

Agreed. I was looking at the quoted article's comment about mmx and x87 being obsolete. No matter how obsolete or old you still have to find room on the die to mush in all this old cruft. Maybe eventually, it'll get pushed int

x86 was always all about backwards compatibility. It's the whole reason why it's such an ugly agglomeration of weird features. lucky for us the clean sheet ia432...err i960, er itanium will save us all!

The US reaction has been abysmal to the extreme. The response looks more like a satire of epidemiology in a farce movie. The level of testing is still not where it needs to be and PPE is still in short supply. The ban on China only applie

Nice to see Inkscape continue to grow. I still get a lot of use out of it myself. (And to toot my own tooter, I did some work on the pencil interpolation code. I feel happy to have contributed something to a project like this).

Part of running a company is keeping employees marginally happy enough to keep working. Whether that's through money, benefits, feelings of solidarity, shared goals, whatever. So annoying high-level employees enough to quit is a fai

I feel like the comment was more directed on the kids' parents having to walk a mile in the Teacher's shoes. And the ease with which it is someone else's problem to make sure your kid learns.

Carriers have always been relatively vulnerable. That's why they have picket ships and carrier groups. I'm not sure drones increase that. They might lower the barrier to entry for an attack. But considering the barrier is a sm
