Uh, wat? Parler's directly competing with Twitter. Why are you commenting when you have no idea what you're talking about?

It's not left/right any more, it's "people who want to control others" vs. "people who want to be left the fuck alone".

How does AWS caving to social pressure to fuck over Parler fit your narrative?

Of course not. But they have actually acted in such a way as to completely obliterate any credibility they had. From lying about masks being useful (Fauci), to the WHO carrying water for China, to the "it's 100% proven zoonosis, c

It's not nearly as deadly as we feared when we initially started this lockdown insanity. Survival rate is what, 99.7% now? Back in March the fear was another 1918 (CFR of like 2-4%). It's by basically every country's estimate

Loved it a lot and I'll check out BOLTR too. I'm an emigrant of Canada and this guy's mannerisms and verbal style make me miss home so much. There's something really endearing about rough-around-the-edges Canadians. They

That video you linked is absolutely solid. Learned a tonne watching it. Never woulda thought 45 minutes about hair dryers would be so great. That dude is awesome.

You are talking specifically about consumer price inflation, which is as you state a well-specified concept based on a (hilariously disconnected from reality) weighted basket of goods and how the basket's price changes over time. Infla

Wait--the root of all evil is me trying to work hard to leave something for my kids so they can have a better life than I do and, with any luck, pass on the genes that I've given them? When your policy proposals require extinguishing d

That is a really insane justification. Also strange that what I gather to be a right-wing internet figure would somehow inspire a shooter to go and try to kill a bunch of republicans as they perform baseball? This week there were not just o

I won't quibble the strange comparison between YouTube, whose second-most content producer is a man dubbed PewDiePie who talks about video games and anime memes, to news organizations, though it is quite tempting. This is what I find s

I mean, there is so much wrong with this statement, and not like thorny philosophical problems to be teased apart with careful interrogation, but just basic definitional problems as well as issues that would make its implementation impossi

Man, this comment thread is really harshing my buzz. So many folks here seem real eager to hype their systems and methods for ensuring all this oh-so easily identifiable misinformation has no route to most, which when implemented would stop

This is largely a forest management issue and not one of global heating. Forest management used to focus on eliminating fires entirely. This has the impact of building up brush to the point where any fire became massive. They thought they w

from a capex perspective maybe you’re right, but coal needs miners forever and allow any man with a strong back to put microwaveable food on the TV tray. Don’t need nearly as many people to maintain a wind farm as you do to feed a coal plan

Then central banks are poised to unleash a wave of coal on everyone to fight coronavirus as cost of capital is gonna get way cheaper in the coming months.

How many jobs for people with only high school diplomas does renewable energy support? How many does coal mining?

I was reading a book to my kids yesterday that had an opening rant about how the wildfires over Australia are a massive problem and our forest management system is a disgrace globally. Flying at 10000 feet led to coughing and choking, seeme

Lol at saying everyone went back to work last week. Compared to last week, more people are locked down this week, some estimates saying fully 7% of the human population is under some kind of heightened restriction on movement. Here’s TomTom

Yo, the mortality rate is first) not calculable in any kind of real way right now (go check out what they thought the rate for SARS was a month into that battle) and second) not at all what the real is here. The first to fall ill will have

For more recent, though more vague, evidence that China may not share the same views on handling extremely dangerous pathogens as the rest of the world, we have this story from July 2019, wherein a Chinese researcher working in one of Canad

The idea of this being an engineered virus wittingly unleashed on the world by some malevolent Party conspirators strains credulity--the notion is preposterous, especially from a country as obsessed with internal stability as China. However

This is deadly. Would love if you could feed it custom sources or maybe something like RSS feeds, so I could just "Hey alexa can tell me the top three stories from my feed" or something. No clue if that's possible. Good stuff

Portland has aggressively pursued traffic calming and these traffic shaping measures you discuss. I first thought it was brutal and everyone drive really slow. On residential streets, both sides almost always allow forstreet parking, and so

Google has an office in Portland, and they hire interns, in case you're interested.
