I agree. It doesn't need active development when it does everything it needs to do.

The only feature request I would add is cloud stored configuration, so my devices stay in sync.

Oh, is my bias showing?

With 8MB of RAM, that you can upgrade to 16MB.

I remember those days...

Paint them like candy canes so they look like barber poles. Then the birds should stay clear. The eagles are already bald.

Thank you, the summary blurb was confusing. I came to ask "why are the wolves and leopards declining if the deer they feed on are not?" Because that didn't make much sense to me. If they aren't a threat to the pandas then they wouldn't be getting pushed out.

But logging should affect both predator and prey. Disease and poaching however could selectively target one side.

Or large numbers that get auto-formatted to scientific notation and lose their rightmost digits. It bugs me constantly that something with "scientific" in the name loses information rather than being more precise.

I work with a system that has numbers like this:
202008061010030001

Excel will turn it into something like 2.020080610x10^17 and the right all gets 0's.

If you enter data with a tick (apostrophe) it becomes text and hides the tick. If you toss a tick into the csv file it displays in the spreadsheet. Annoying.

Putting quotes around the data also gets stripped out before it decides how to format it, so that does no good.

10% is worth it being an option to toggle on and off.

Though, generally speaking, if you're on a memory starved system then it probably doesn't have a lot of CPU to spare either.

I have a NetBook that is severely memory starved (1GB if I remember right). With the specs it would probably run Lubuntu just fine, but Windows uses half of the RAM just starting. Open a browser with a few addons and you're using the rest. Don't dare try to do anything else.

He said there's no official deal. That does not mean that there is not a secret understanding.

You don't need to sensor speech if you just put a disclaimer that it is "likely wrong", "possibly incorrect", "opinion piece", "inflammatory", etc.

Just label it what it is, similar to Slashdot's system.

It gives readers that "grain of salt" warning going in so they don't blindly believe everything they read (I agree that they should be smart enough to handle that on their own, but reality has shown otherwise).

Someone mentioned a trick from centuries ago where children wore hats with 3 foot brims. 2 kids with these would naturally stand 6 feet apart to avoid knocking hats. This was to avoid some disease of the time. I think bringing this back wouldn't be the worst idea.

For the first 2 months the only way to get one would be to buy it for twice the price because jackasses, i mean entrepreneurs, will buy up the supply and post them on ebay. That's how it worked for the last iteration or two.

-- Twitter allows Iranian leaders to maintain accounts on its service, and Cruz is asking ... to probe whether that violates U.S. sanctions prohibiting American companies from providing goods or services to the country's top officials.

-- "But when a company willfully and openly violates the law after receiving formal notice that it is unlawfully supporting designated individuals, the federal government should take action."

So did they get a letter saying they were breaking the law before any check was done to see if they were actually breaking the law?

Or did they get no such letter?

But,
-- "I believe that the primary goal of (the International Emergency Economic Powers Act) and sanctions law should be to change the behavior of designated individuals and regimes, not American companies," Cruz wrote.

Uh huh.

Read the India study with 10,000 police officers. It seemed to work quite well.

It works in China, France, and Costa Rica. It just doesn't work in the US because they only want to study the cases where it was given late in the process where, shockingly, it doesn't work.

As an antiviral it needs to be used early in the process. Late usage is worse than not using it at all. With many cases in the US your test had to come back positive before administering it. That on top of the normal delay in going to the hospital (because it's just a cold or symptoms didn't kick in during incubation) put most people into the "late usage" bucket.

Big pharma wants you to use their $1000 a pop designer drug, not the 25 cents a pop old school medicine.

I agree, either there's a serious error in their semantics or they're really bad at math.

They should strip out the whole "with symptoms" portion of their statement.

Just looking at the numbers:
USA
Total Cases: 1,733,863
Total Deaths: 101,130
Active Cases: 1,150,778

So the CFR (case fatality rate) looks like 5.83%. And that's if not one of those active cases dies (which is unlikely).

The IFR (infection fatality rate) might be much lower, but it depends heavily on how many untested infected people you assume there are. If you assume 10 times the number of tested people that puts you at 0.58%.

So the current estimate of 0.40% is assuming more than 10, but I would highly doubt that symptomatic people are 10 times the number of tested people. It's possibly, but seems strange. Of course our medical structure does lend itself to staying away from the hospital unless absolutely necessary.

The Republican motto: capitalism all the way. Government shouldn't tell corporations what to do.

Corporation X does something the republicans don't like.

The government should tell corporation X how to operate.

That level of hypocrisy takes balls. And somehow they see no problem with it. Their blinders are strong.

Universal didn't say only straight to home (from how I read it), they were planning simultaneous release.
But AMC's reaction was to ban Universal pictures.

This is a classic "cut off your nose to spite your face" move. It hurts them (AMC) more to do this, IMO.

It drives less people to their theaters, more people to competitors, and potentially more people to view from home.

I'm already in the "would rather view from home" boat, and the more people who go that route the worse it is for theaters. So saying they won't play any Universal movie before even giving it a shot means they get 0% rather than some%.
