   This heroic doctor can no longer speak for himself and did not write his wikipedia page. I really doubt that if he were alive right now that he'd be focusing on the stupidity of the initial reaction to his reports.

   I'd be much more interested in what credible Chinese sources know about the disease and its epidemiology. Much of the reporting on the Chinese response has been overtly xenophobic and added to the confusion at just the moment we needed

   For the downvoters, I'm just pointing out that removing all caps and limits doesn't automatically create abundance. As far as establishing effective policy: ISPs have a lot of practice rationing bandwidth, I'm sure there&#x27

   I'll play the devil's advocate. Bandwidth is a finite resource, and it could be in critically short supply. In those circumstances, I wouldn't expect everyone to get more bandwidth, I'd expect it to be rationed.

   This article is really important. He is not making an economic argument about the value of social distancing. What's not being said often enough, because it's pretty scary to hear, is that no matter how much we lower the curve, e

   I really agree with you here. Superdeterminism is much weirder and harder to accept than non-locality. Of course, with enough non-locality you'll end up with something just as awkward as superdeterminism. I'm trying learn more abo

    Well. I reacted to the charting, where the basis of each chart was designed to maximize the separation of of the two groups, and the color red was used make somewhat mild differences look more causal than they really are. And, yeah, there a

    Ok, I agree, cheating is lame. But a game in which a someone won by cheating is still competitive, while a game that is lost intentionally is just corruption to take money from fans. I guess I don't see the big deal about sign stealing

    I didn't open my stats book to confirm this, but my hunch is that you can estimate the likelihood of what we observe (0/300M) with what we expect (600/300M) in the following way. Think of 1 six sided die. The odds of not ro

    The key work is "valuables". You probably wouldn't put your pants in a safe (though I acknowledge that depends on your roommates). I'm saying that going through the motions doesn't make something secure. How many pa

    With all due respect, this is like saying the more locks you have, the more secure your building is. I mean, yes you have to lock some doors to have security, but on the other hand putting a lock on the bathroom door, the light switch and t

    If you read the comments, it looks like the meaningful difference btw the two distros is (was?) the libc implementation. Alpine uses the newer, smaller musl, while debian used the battle hardened glibc.

    My read of this is that you're free to continue to build and distribute your own binaries, but those won't be able to participate in the plugin ecosystem. The effect of this change depends on the value of the plugin service. I mea
