Ah yes, vaccine reluctance must only come from ignorance. Certainly not education or research into the side effects of vaccines and how these in particular affect people of younger ages with more risks than getting covid.

Why do people assume that an Artificial Intelligence will want to do all the crappy human jobs?

Ding ding ding! Also being told repeatedly that covid causes long hauler syndrome might cause people recovering from covid to worry if that will happen to them.

It’s a contract. You agree to the terms or you borrow the money from somewhere else. The thing this article casually omits throughout, aside from the opening, is that these are sub-prime borrowers. They have a history of poor credit. They p

Because being paid $300k to pick up poop seems a bit high. Like $250k too high.

Ah yes, now we have studies showing people who don’t agree with the liberal left are stupid and slow. The ultimate ad hominem.

That’s what I read. Where can I get me an F18 surplus?

What was the National Guard equivalent during the revolutionary war?

No, pretty much everyone doesn’t agree that some level of infringement is okay. The nuclear arms strawman is a long way from the myriad of restrictions, registrations and required permission for personal weapons. Remember that during the re

Have McIntosh and HD800S. Still considering AirPods Max as an addition, not a replacement. I have Bose QCII35s and they are nice, but so are my AirPod Pros. Having another headphone that has elements of both sounds interesting. High end aud

I suspect this adds to the hype. People comparing them to auto-manufacturers seem to willfully omit that Tesla is also a global auto sales dealership network, a global power storage company (grid power storage), a solar cell installer, sale

These are great questions. Another one since we are talking about editing the programming “code” of the human body is: what if we got it wrong? What sorts of “bugs” might occur in execution or through unforeseen interactions?

TIL, plastics degrade into millions of tiny pieces in only 15 minutes of exposure to coffee... and yet remain non-biodegradable for thousands of years. Seems only one of these can be true.

You would build or rent a shelter, proving food, housing, education and child care. Helping people that want to get back on their feet and need some support. You would probably also want to provide medical supervision to manage withdrawal s

Whether weekly or annual, you wouldn’t be wrong to expect 2020 to have a noticeable uptick from Covid deaths. The fact that it does not points to one of two things: reporting deaths has a lag time or, covid didn’t kill an unusual number of

I don’t spend my life chronicling every source of information I come across so I can provide a complete bibliography for every statement in conversation. When I make a claim, I’m not writing a thesis or going for my PhD. I’m just reciting s

How do you declare a $21B surplus while carrying a $1T unfounded pension liability?

As a California tax payer, I appreciate these sunshine reports. Calling them a hit piece reveals you too have some sort of bias or axe to grind. Government work was supposed to be fairly compensated with pension and benefits, while avoiding

With the way our legislature and senators are captives of lobbyists, global dictators and billionaires today, what makes you think a rewrite would be in your best interests? Or do you imagine the little people like us would have a say in su

I find the top of my monitor should be at eye level or slightly higher. Any lower and I start slouching down to read. Looking up helps my posture.

Cancel culture has quenched political discussion. It’s impossible to share views, even among coworkers you might consider friends, without serious risk to one’s employment. The effect is likely more polarization since we cannot moderate eac

Yes, but much more expensive and problematic than putting someone on a ventilator. The machine itself gets clogged with clotted blood so thinners are required to delay that breakdown.

LOL, you think children listen to parents when “taught properly”? We taught our kids all the proper behaviors, for years. Loads of examples of consequences, restrictions, lectures, etc. they still grow up and make poor choices. When it come

I have been trying to work from home one day per week and wish we could standardize on this. It would reduce traffic 20%. It saves everyone a round trip commute and that is time that can be put to productive use. I also appreciate having a
