I’m so confused. Why are so many people in this thread trying to say this isn’t real, or it couldn’t possibly be that bad, or it’s no big deal companies should just deal with it, or just bring the boxes to the counter, or just rent your own

This is such a bizarre take on Elon. The man has no wealth outside the companies he has built. There’s no cash just sitting in an account that he’s withholding from the poor cowering masses. He’s put every penny of his net worth into buildi

I’ve been following testing progress on /r/spacex and it’s a lot of fun having such a detailed view into the whole operation as these Starship prototypes are built and iterated upon out in the open. Elon has said chance of a soft

I assume they will eventually dynamically price based on density, to ensure it's available to whoever needs it and not where other equivalent or faster options are available for less money. By definition I think the places that need St

A truly stunning level of incompetence which is causing so much misery for the state’s own populace, and literally no avenue for redress. I’m not quite sure why state’s employment systems are so fantastically terrible given the relative sim

I find the best place for the archive.is link is at the very bottom of the comments. Easier to find that way.

Still amazing that they brute force generated that onion address.

I did cite a source, it discusses aerosol transmission and also the predominant method of infection (upper respiratory tract where the virus binds to ACE2 receptors) which is likely why surface contact spreading isn’t a huge problem.

The thing is specifically not designed to stop coronavirus, and specifically disclaims providing any protection against coronavirus. That’s not an editorial, that’s the written scientific standard for the medical device. If you could get pe

Where does this 2-3x factor come from? I just haven’t seen any proof of that. From a macro perspective, masks did not stop the 2nd wave in Italy and France and their mask compliance was the highest in Europe. I don’t think you can claim Ita

How about because it says so on the label? > Type I, I R, II and II R face masks are medical masks tested in the direction of exhalation (inside to outside) and take into account the efficiency of bacterial filtration. Surgical masks of

This lines up with other studies I’ve seen which show that contact and fomite transmission do not significantly drive transmission (that means hand washing and surface disinfecting won’t make much difference). Why would indoor dining be “sa

Did the goalposts just move to lockdowns? I was talking about masks and "social distancing". Spain, France and Italy, before the most recent massive surge, had the best mask compliance in Europe. The surge happened anyway. Italy&#

I'd say there's plenty of doubt on the mask front. Lots of evidence that masks encourage risky behavior, lots of evidence that COVID spreads as an aerosol that face cloths can't contain or could even increase, and clearly mas

I've been thinking about this in the back of my head all day. I think this is a really big deal, if it's being done the way I imagine. "Embedding financial services" as an API is essentially an Identity service that ties

Tritium can be stored as a solid metal tritide. You can use several different metals but titanium seems to offer the best cost/benefit. A 7" diameter cylinder 16" high weighing 35 pounds can store 300 grams of tritium safely

I’m pretty sure the solution to fentanyl overdose deaths has almost nothing to do with getting people to stop using drugs.

This seems like a great explanation, but it’s missing one key data point — how much tritium is actually present in the plasma at any one moment? From Iter.org; > Only a few grams of fuel are present in the plasma at any given moment. Th

Did you edit your comment since I replied? I can't say for sure anymore... I thought you were actually making the opposing claim. However, it seems like we are emphatically agreeing!

It’s never considered “magical” after the feat has been accomplished. But a year ago if you claimed this is where Apple would be today, a lot of people would say that would require waving a magic wand.

To expand on this, after fully reading AlQuraishi's "What Just Happened" post from a couple years ago, was this point that he made; > I don’t think we would do ourselves a service by not recognizing that what just happene

None of this is scientifically cause and effect. You are picking correlations which agree with your preferred narrative and extrapolating from there. There is very strong evidence that the virus is less contagious to/from children and

You need both things. You need a monopoly in a market, and you need to be using your monopoly position to crush your competition.
