Can you give some specifics of #3 just for color? I'm not interested in debating or trolling at all. I'm just curious what people say that does this. Is it just people cheering for Trump or something?

No, you don't, because you're infecting them on purpose. It's safe to assume that an extraordinarily high percentage of them would be infected if they were on a placebo leg of the trial.

Well, they refused to publish ads about a friends adult-oriented podcast, so they do do some filtering.

I wonder what you define as heavy usage for AirPods. I have 2 pairs, one of which is the first generation and I use only for running. I run almost every day for around an hour. I've had them for around 2 years, probably a bit longer. T

I live in the Oakland hills. The access to SF via Bart in 30 minutes and the access to completely open space to go running, hiking, biking, etc. is pretty unusual. Look up the EBMUD land east of Oakland for a reference. It's unbelievab

I think people in this thread have expressed well that the concern is when you want to change jobs. It's just a lot easier to do when you're in the area.

When working on Windows I often use the verion of bash which comes with git. It's obviously not at all the same as WSL, but it gives you a lot of the feel of using a Unix machine while working in windows. The command-line tools work pr

People claim if you switch off to Safari the memory footprint goes down. Of course, if you're an FE dev, that comes with more ... challenging ... dev tools. YMMV.

Isn't that just because all the memory is on the CPU?

Couldn't Intel just come out with a new set of reduced-complexity instructions that run on a per-process basis based on some bit being flipped on context switches? Then legacy apps would run fine, but the new stuff would work too. This

Is it just for Rust compiles, or has anyone tested other languages like Java, C/C++, etc? I ask because I don't have access to an M1 MacBook.

My wife and I stopped using Yelp a couple years ago because of all sorts of nonsense on their platform. We find much better reviews on city-specific subreddits.

I think the bigger question for this type of company is margins in the face of competition. The service they offer is totally undifferentiated from that which a competitor could fairly easily provide. Yes, it takes marketing dollars to sens

What's behind the battery life being so much better?

I was interested until I saw that price. I'd rather just buy the paper and tape it to the wall each day.

If anything, I'd expect this to be bearish, because it might cause the Fed to stop printing money.

I'm no fan of Trump, and I have no evidence, only opinions. But, maybe not all Black people are huge fans of the activist wing supported by many Blacks and other minorities? Seems like that could explain him getting more votes, by more

Thank you for saying this.

Just curious. Does anyone have a reasonable response to the following contention: Trump claims to have engineered the world's greatest economy, but in fact he has just benefitted from the Fed holding rates artificially low in spite of

I recently quit online chess completely. The last straw was lichess sending me a warning because I pointed out to a guy he was obviously using an engine. The cheating just got tiresome. I’m going to go back to playing over the board with ac

So, maybe that means by slowing the infection, what we're really doing is ensuring a neverending slow wave of infections ... forever? Maybe what normally happens with these kinds of viruses is they infect everyone then die out? And if

I agree strongly with this type of analysis. The data we're seeing is strongly skewed by all kinds of biases. Looking at deaths at least removes one big piece of bias. I too suspect areas are achieving some limited herd immunity. I don

Bay area resident here. My kids can't go to school. I barely go to the store. Even going for a walk is tricky, as unless you take massive precautions (which I'm fine with, btw) everyone yells at you. I basically have no human cont

The article asserts that all people have some European ancestry. I strongly doubt that. Consider uncontacted tribes in Papua New Guinea, the Amazon rainforests or Sentinel Island.

Do you have anything I can read which contradicts his point on the cost of infrastructure spending? I'd like to see the counterpoint to his thesis.

I have a 2015 Leaf with 45k miles on it. Battery state of health is 90% according to Leafspy. I’m in the SF Bay Area. Maybe it’s because of the more temperate climate here, but we’ve just had zero battery degradation problems.

Well I mentioned Fixed Wireless as well. Also, there's room for government in this. That's like suggesting highways, high-speed rail and airports should all be privately funded. In most cases, societies have chosen to make those p
