The economic restrictions can be lifted in a just couple of months since the curve is under control, but people will have to go to work wearing face masks while the pandemic runs its course through 2021.

I think it should last between 18 to 24 months too, but the confinement measures will be lifted much sooner. Once the epidemic curve is going down and its well under control, people will be allowed to go back to work with face masks, slowly

The operative words are "right now", with the current evolution of the virus and the population not taking the measures seriously, how long do you think that is going to last?

The point is that people shouldn't have to be forced to live on the streets out of necessity, unlike what happens today. It's considered a perfectly normal part of live that some people live on the street in 2020 like animals, it&

Especially with the increase of automation and the reduction of the number of jobs, I think it's a must. It's 2020, it just doesn't make sense to still have people living on the streets, like animals. As most people are not f

Only 130k? That is very recent, overlapping with modern humans, although they might not have been out of Africa yet.

I've tried it and the results just aren't as good as Google. For example, it does not index Javascript-heavy pages, which means a lot of documentation websites for popular open source projects are seen as blank pages by their inde

That's a very special setting, most enterprises aren't like that. For example, for material, you get a crap old PC where you can hardly run your IDE, where you can't install anything. These days it's doable to at least g

It's not cynicism. It's acknowledging the reality of work in a lot of these environments as the root cause of these problems. You will be stuck with an old slow PC trying to fix some issue until midnight, and that just takes a hea

The bad news is that this will happen everywhere where you work for someone else, especially in large companies. And this cannot be avoided while working as an employee, it's part of the system. The good news is that there is one way t

It's inevitable and a direct consequence of the labor system that we live in. The internet makes it worse but its not the problem of the internet, its a problem of the system. In our labor system, a small number of individuals are by d

It still sounds pretty bad, like doubling the current population or close to that in 100 years. If not 100, make it 150 or 200 it's still not much on historical terms. With modern medicine, modern agriculture and the tendency to reduce

I bet that still then you will only hear: "it's just a couple of miles near the coast, it's not the end of the world. It's not that bad."

That's a 108% increase in a century, which is a relatively short time in historical terms. Imagine the damage to the planet with double the current human population. This could be around the corner, historically speaking.

With the human population growing exponentially, its a certainty that we will breeze by the 1.5 degrees limit very soon. People don't want to give up their cheeseburgers, all excuses are good, and the level of misinformation that goes

I bet he is right that its harder for younger people. Having a family means having a routine built-in, you take your kids to school and go pick them up always at the same hour, play a bit, make dinner, bedtime, etc. For younger people, mayb

It's probably both, obesity has been continuously rising but has alcohol consumption too? Alcoholics drinks also contribute to obesity as they pack quite a bit of calories, and are addictive in nature.

Liver disease is likely linked to the continuously rising obesity levels: > "adult obesity rates now exceed 35% in nine states, 30% in 31 states and 25% in 48 states." https://stateofchildhoodobesity.org/adult-o

It depends, if looking for advise on how to use excel from someone, I don't think that they need to be certified or whatever. For asking someone to do some web design or a logo, I don't think it's necessary either, but there

Sure, but you can also build relationships while owning a business, via conferences, shared workspaces, or what not.

My point is that Rogan does have some sort of moral responsibility for not letting his platform be used so easily to massively disinform the public on non-scientific beliefs.

The amount of cholesterol in the blood is largely produced by our own body depending on the mix of fat and carbs that we eat, and a smaller but still significative part comes from dietary cholesterol. Most people eat more than just an egg a

I have a simpler explanation, what likely happens is that most people don't even try to do it (even though they could do so like the case here) because it's different than the social norm, which says that you should be an employee
