Which world have you been living in ? Companies to get away with ? You forgot :

1. "Companies" , read Zuckerberg, lied to the Congress.

2. Paid bonus to their top executives after receiving government aid in 2008. Potus only made statements about them.

?

Now I see why Oracle was interested in purchasing TikTok. Why chat when you can exchange floss dances with your coworkers??

Bonus: Walmart is now your primary procurement partner.

I once lived near a Blow street. The city got tired of replacing the sign, even after they made it really tall and greased the pole, so they eventually renamed it.

Did they rename it Hand street or Anal street?

There is no reason for China to physically attack Australia. It is only interested in fighting for its claimed territories. The rest of its political aims, it's already doing: propaganda and espionage (esp. cyber). The West will continue to lose ground if it keeps mistaking China for WWII Japan.

And, fuckstick?

Who's gonna pay for all of the people that are about to be homeless? Do-Not-Evict orders are already expiring across the US. CA's will expire in February. Newsom can't just keep extending it forever. Eventually landlords will begin to default. Most single family home rental units are privately owned, not corporate. i.e. retired people with an extra house used to generate a monthly income. Some of those poor fucks haven't seen any money since April. But hey, fuck 'em, they're old and useless.

130,000 businesses, in the US, are GONE. Not shutdown, not on vacation, gone. More are soon to follow as many states go full-blown lock-down again.

You have any fucking idea what it costs to shut a restaurant down? The unsold food all expires. Doesn't matter if it's crackers or lobsters.. Wagu beef or bluefin tuna.

Then the restaurant reopens, buys all that goddamn food again, and once again is shutdown by a Commie Dictator of a Governor. None of you care about that side of it.. All you give a shit about is "where's my paycheck?" or "I got's my paycheck, fuck all those rich business owners".. Sorry pinky, most business owners in the US are middle class at best.

You lefty 'tards absolutely think money springs out of nowhere and there's no repercussions for simply printing more and more. How much money do you think the Federal Reserve can simply create out of thin air before the rest of the world looks at our debt load and realizes that we've gone insolvent?

You're so worried about saving every last life that you don't give a shit that millions of lives are being destroyed in the process. Life savings are gone, the hard work of a lifetime has evaporated. Good decent people are becoming homeless because the government has dictated that they may not work or that they may not evict someone who doesn't pay rent (because they have no work) and thus can't at least restore their rental income.

ABC just ran a story, yesterday, about how old folks are dying in retirement homes because of the depression that accompanies isolation. Fuck them too, right?

You assholes that support the government shutdowns don't give a rat's ass about the misery that this is going to inflict for years to come. You're cowards, who'd rather kill old people by sadness and make millions homeless, as long as your own personal, perceived, safety is increased some bit. Never mind that 99.5% of people survive an infection and a full 40% are never even fucking aware that they have it.

Assuming infection rates went to 100% and the mortality rate stayed at 0.05%, overall, how many people have to become homeless or die of sadness before it's "too much"???? How many businesses have to close down and life-savings lost before the collateral misery is enough?

Why do I suspect you have to limit? If it saved 0.05% of the population, would you be okay with 50% being destitute? I bet you would.. And that's why I hate people like you.

I think it says ... "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."

I was all excited that a podcast about linguistics was the Podcast of the Year until I read the summary. I shouldn't have read the summary.

If my local NPR station airs this show, it's not during my commute hours.

This deal will benefit Ford.

There's no way the manufacturing processes for these two cards with such similiar specs is anywhere near $300 different

It's all about component costs, not process.

>"On the other hand, SWATing a troublesome employee is so far beyond the pale I can't quite get my brain around it. If I had to side with one or the other, I'd side with Tripp"

Based on zero evidence and nothing but speculation by someone who has everything to gain by pointing a finger at Musk?. Vs. evidence and ADMISSION OF GUILT by Tripp of wrong-doing against Tesla AND of defying a judge's order?

I agree there is nothing "whistlebower" about this. But, otherwise, I question your logic.

"4th tier" is still well in excess of 60fps in almost every modern game on ultra quality settings at 1080p, by far the most popular resolution on the market.

I.e. "why nvidia decided to start implementing ray tracing". We're now in realm of "fast enough for ultra" for pretty much everything on formerly mid end cards. It's why 1060 remains the most popular card on steam, being at about the same amount installed as total amount of RTX capable cards combined.

Have you been to San Jose lately? I'll take anywhere over that shit hole. There's more trash on on the side of the highways than most landfills. The downtown is so stabby you'd need an armed escort to feel safe. I left that pile of a once very great city 5 years ago when it like most of the rest of the bay area slid into 3rd world status. No i was only making 130k so definitely below poverty level, i mean if you can afford one of the 120 so 15 million dollar homes up the road in palo alto around stanford by all means, but then you'll just be staring out at the line of broken down rv's that "the help" are forced to live in 5 days a week to provide the service industry. But then that's the new norm for California and the people that recognize it for shit hole it is are long gone. But yeah moving the Houston isn't going to save HP.

That is a patently false assertion.
It could be true- absolutely. It could also be untrue.

If you can't prepare the deductive logic required to come to that conclusion, you can't be helped.

The rectangular (1 x 4 x 9) thing in Clarke's books (2001, 2010, 2061, 3001) is referred to as a monolith. It certainly is a single object, although not made of rock.

Keeping the moon aliens at bay, duh.

Yeah, but this guy the novel Corona virus is also new "technology" that you might end up "using" inadvertently if not for this vaccine or some other. It came "mass-market ready" when humans noticed it. It is a pretty smart guy.

So the choice you have is between 2 "technologies", both pretty "novel". One attacks, the other defends. Not "using" untested technology is not a choice we have here.

Well, somebody liked it...

(1-(11/196))*100% = (1-0.0561)*100% = 94.4%

But, sure, they've cheated on a double blind study, and persuaded all the doctors, testing staff, and participants to play along, even those that got the disease.

And do you know what the really funny thing about it all is?

They all did it just to fuck with you...

You may want to check again, as wind activity doesn't correlate anywhere near that clean, nor are there meaningful "hot days" in Denmark due to significant equalizer of two seas it sits between.

In fact one of the likely main reasons for why Denmark is a region of high wind activity is the balancing factor of those two seas, creating a pressure differential around the edge of the landmass the moment there's a significant warming or cooling on either side.

I wonder how their DRM chips, like the T2 that stopped 3rd party repairs will factor in to this.

It sits in a medium solar intensity region. Putting solar power there is both a crime against economics and a crime against nature with current technology.

They do sit in a high wind intensity area, which is where the idea to just throw everything into wind power came from. It's just that Greens took it to the anti-scientific extreme as usual, which lead to their carbon intensity remain high even while greenwashing it as much as they could by tapping as much of Swedish and Norwegian hydro as they reasonably could to back it up. It was basically a good idea taken to stupid extreme. A common problem with Greens that make an anti-scientific religion out of the originally science-based movement.

Today, Denmark continues its ongoing multi-year policy of (originally) illegally blocking coal plants from closing due to punitive taxation, because without those plants, Danish grid goes down. All while paying ridiculous transmission costs to Swedish and Norwegian grid operators that were trebled or quadrupled last year. I can't remember which, I just remember our Finnish grid operator getting the same terms and going "ok, we're not Denmark and our grid is just fine without Swedish hydro, drop two zeroes from percentage numbers of increase in costs and we can start talking".

So yeah, if you were confused about Danish government illegally culling those minks? Government just suddenly destroying business illegally is not a novel thing when there's a sufficient public scare in Denmark. It's more of a cultural quirk.

I'm fairly sure that you're aware that it is assumed, in studies like this, that were the vaccine ineffective an equal number of cases would be observed from both the vaccinated and the placebo groups.

Which is why I find myself wondering why your maths doesn't account for the ~174 people who didn't get infected when they otherwise would have.

The term "long covid" is sufficiently well known, so no one in particular needs to mean anything specific by the term. It has a meaning, and anyone meaning something different can go and use another term, which could be a phrasal term.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

For your other point : since long covid is a group of effects rather than an isolated phenomenon, it is natural that the understanding of how it happens is gained in phases. Yes, certain effects under long covid are understood sufficiently to tell how they are caused. Some are likely caused by the immune overreaction : so preventing that would help those aspects of long covid.

Naw, let's talk about systemd, Wayland, and emacs vs vi.

Not sure I agree, while visiting relatives in Texas a few years ago the road ways and access points seemed by be designed on a spur of the moment thing.

For example, while on the freeway you had to know to exit off to a side road about 2 miles before a right turn because the main connecting road into the town didn't have a direct freeway exit. It did have a freeway entrance though! So if you didn't turn 2 miles before, you drove another 5 miles down the road to the next exit, went over the freeway and drove about 1/4 mile then again exited on a side road because. . . you guessed it, no direct exit from the freeway.

In town was not much better, driving along the freeway I spot a Best Buy on the left just up ahead. How to get there. Well exit on the right, drive another 1 1/2 miles down a street next to the freeway, go under the freeway, drive 1 1/2 miles back down another street next to the other side of the freeway, and turn right. Mind you this was all in a pretty packed business district, so those side roads moved at a snails pace.

Then major freeway connections were just mind boggling. When one would join with another there would often be concrete barriers at least a mile out, so if you didn't pick the right lane you would wind up on the wrong freeway. The trouble is that you wouldn't see a sign until it was too late, well unless you had a car that could jump the concrete barriers that is. And of course to get back, you guessed it, go a few miles, exit on a side road, go a few more miles, cross over, then continue down another side road, merge with the freeway, and play the guess the right lane game all over again.

Still the best. While driving back on a 5 lane freeway traffic slowed down to a standstill for over an hour (*note the place we were was only about 45 minutes from the house we were staying at). During this whole inching forward everyone was doing (because of a two car accident mind you), the GPS system announces "Switching to pedestrian mode". I guess it thought we jumped out of the car and started walking (which to think of it might have been faster.)


Don't get me started on the weather, 11:30 at night trying to take a walk around the block, we needed a towel by the time we got back to the house.

Tandem was literally around the corner from HP's Cupertino site (where I worked for nine years). Both got sold to Apple to build the spaceship.

Are you unaware that when we die, i.e. when constant immune response around the gut stops, if not exposed to flies (i.e. get to compete with maggots for speed) your microbiome will literally eat your body from the inside?

Ha ha, thanks for the setup. I'll add Wayne and Shuster because I'm Canadian and old enough that their end of career specials were on when I was a kid. Sadly, there's not much "on the road" happening right now.

Thanks for the correction.
