You're citing known COVID deaths, I think, while the epidemiologist points out in the article that a better metric is excess mortality: >Sweden had one of the lower excess mortality levels in Europe Presumably, excess mortality incl

One Charles de Fleury catalogued pieces of the true cross and found them to sum to 2% of a plausibly sized cross, not the oft-repeated claim that they add up to a large ship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Cross#Dis

Voting is how this mess started... how is voting harder going to fix what voting created? Nothing short of a common national ethos of trust in an almost unremovable leader can solve this problem. A leader who can listen to experts and make

I don't understand what Mozilla does. I've been using FF since Deer Park, and it was great then. Adding increased security, speeding rendering... probably some nice incremental changes there. But blowing up the extension universe,

Indeed, I had never heard of a chicken tender until I started reading r/WSB; they've always been chicken fingers or buffalo wings.

To summarize: -they apologize for the three patches in 2020 -they claim asking permission would have defeated their research -they claim the other 200 were legitimate patch attempts (a sample of which were, from my personal reading, from &#

You might take aa look at the SEC's December reports of fail-to-delivers, before the GME rocket lit: there were three days with over a million shares failed to be delivered, and several more weeks with over .5%. WSB had a post encourag

They did shut down margin trading in GME and others several days ago, this is a further step atop it.

Theory is a legendary player, and his take on the game is truly excellent. I wish the simple, fast, text interface of the old isotropic implementation still existed though. I had a definite addiction to Dominion in college - three hours a d

No, the premise is that mailin ballots should have a roughly uniform D/R ratio, no matter what timeslice of a state you look at. Of course they skew, but the idea is that the first mailins counted should have basically the same ratio a

You might consider variants that use a conch piercing or a stretched earlobe piercing instead - I'm pretty sure, among the earring wearers of the affluent world, far more have stretched earlobes than have unpierced earlobes, and probab

They talk about throughput, but in practice their testing regimen is actually testing latency. Dm-crypt's performance ceiling is pretty high if you consider throughput rather than latency, and I would expect the tradeoffs to decrease l

I can attest that it's a great book. It took my Make savvy from "pretty average" to "can build Makefiles that conform pretty decently to DRY". Not all of the book is useful to me, but it's a pleasant read and a

Sad to see them forging ahead on their plans to drop Python 2, and it would have been nice of them to point out that other volunteers will provide security fixes for Python 2 compatible runtimes. I've switched to Tauthon [1] for over a
