It's perfectly fine to propose topics for further study. Just don't go taking every vitamin and supplement that is in the news unless you are aware of the potential risks.

Thanks, I can definitely see how making either downloading and running the app or following the declared quarantine measures mandatory could backfire. I'm already disappointed that the UK government feel it necessary to keep track of p

Presumably, if you decide to install the app, it's because you are willing to consider altering your behaviour based on the alerts it gives you. You might find forcing people to install it has little benefit because of the point you me

Have you tried the Google Pixel Buds 1? It might be better to compare their track record when it comes to headphones rather than home assistants.

It seems that given effectiveness of UV treatment on surfaces, he extrapolated its potential to use within the body. Just because he landed on a solution that on paper sounds like an anti-bacterial cure from the 40s and 50s doesn't mea

Do you mean don't bother using fuel stabilizer? I can't see anything about it being illegal in California.

That's why we're talking about deaths, not mortality. Mortality requires you to know the number of people who are infected which as stated above can be inaccurate because many people are not getting tested. However, it's less

You'd have to sample many thousands of people who either have no symptoms or got sick. If the strain only exists in people with no symptoms then there's a good chance it's not deadly or at least less deadly than the other str

Yes! I remember how incredible it was to actually see my friend typing in the same window as me way before Google docs. I miss that.

It's because the standard webcam interface is based on a slow USB 2 interface which can only support enough bandwidth for 720p video. To upgrade your webcam, laptop manufacturers would need to make significant changes to both the inter

I don't know why this comment was downvoted - it's a legitimate question. One scenario I can picture is the Netflix app on your TV. Firstly, they create a neural network trained on the video data in their library and ship it to al

If you have a Mac, you can also do this with QuickTime's Trim option. It lets you adjust the trim points easily and you can then click Save (not export) to trim the file losslessly.

The Chinese lockdown is much more severe than anything being enforced in the US. They track everyone's movements with their phones, large areas of the cities where cases have been reported are sealed off with checkpoints at the exit po

It would be interesting to be able to compare countries. For example, which countries have responded most to a lockdown and which have not responded at all? The data is already broken down by state so it would be good to see this data on a

What is clickbait about this? It's a pretty interesting story.

I'm assuming that if I leave a slot available, there is a higher chance that someone who is sick or vulnerable will get the slot they need. Maybe you're suggesting that all the slots will be taken by 20 programmers who write bots.

No one is obligated to put themselves at risk but you can think of it as a choice that you can make to benefit others. All the doctors and nurses who have come out of retirement to work in hospitals at a time where their personal risk is hi

Are you otherwise healthy? If so and if you find almost every food delivery slot taken then I would say yes, you should be doing your grocery shopping in person. It's not a huge burden to change your behaviours for other people's

Sorry I guess my question wasn't clear. I meant to ask, what is the source that those hygiene practices he mentioned are factors in the lower rates of spread of the virus given that other countries such as Italy and Spain have enacted

Then fine, we just keep moving on and accept deaths from the virus in the same way as we do for deaths from the flu or road traffic accidents. However that is absolutely NOT the situation we are in. If we do nothing, significant numbers of

The point is, how does the car know to connect to your wifi hotspot when it's normally configured to use a 3g/4g connection? I have never used a smart car so it sounds like a reasonable question to ask.

Would you work for a company that spent 0 time vetting you? There has to be a "right" amount of time for evaluating candidates and the amount of time the candidate is required to give up when looking for a new job is only one side

Tpcaek has said elsewhere in this thread: > Saleem Rashid worked out a POC for this on Slack in something like 45 minutes today So I would be amazed if there were not some malicious certificates out there already.
