That is to say, it ends when enough of the population has had the virus that widespread immunity prevents it from effectively spreading. And it could possibly flare up again in the future.

We probably won't have as many dead as they did back then because, as you said, we have more treatment options. (Anti-virals and such.)

In which case, it ends like Spanish Flu in 1918. Either way, it's going to be a little while.

When a vaccine is widely available in (hopefully) 12-18 months, most countries with reasonable healthcare systems will make it available to their citizens. Even in countries like the US, insurance companies generally find it cheaper to offer free or cheap vaccinations than to pay for ER care for a few percent of their customers. Sure, you'll have a few holdouts who can't or won't take a vaccine, but most people will. After that, the coronavirus vaccine will (probably) just be part of the annual flu shot.

With costs like that? I'm going to guess that the person in question lives inside the beltway, has had several accidents/tickets and has a car they're still making payments on.

Wasn't removing Other OS a knee-jerk reaction to someone working out that they could glitch the memory bus to do a hypervisor escape in Other OS?

We all know this timeline...

1. Feature development will slow over the next 12 months after release and will have all but stopped by that time.
2. Google will announce that the product will be sunsetted around 24 months after development has stopped.
3. The service will be discontinued 3-18 months after the sunset, depending on how many paying customers remain.

The public at large has wide access to phone cracking software, though not the expertise to use it.

The fact that some companies have packaged it up with some expertise and are selling it to law enforcement is not surprising.

When I had an Android tablet (Nexus 7,) it wasn't useful for desktop tasks.
When I had a Windows 10 tablet (ASUS T100HA,) it lived in its keyboard dock because it wasn't useful for tablet tasks.
ChromeOS has proven itself to be "good enough" at both in a device in the same price bracket as either.
If I need to do something it can't handle, I go hunt down the appropriate device for the task. (Phone, laptop, desktop.)

They (usually) taught math just fine. Just not how to use a calculator.

From my experience in junior high and high school, most math teachers don't actually know how to use graphing calculators.

They just recite the keypresses and the students follow along. If you have a different model of calculator that has different keyboard shortcuts, the teacher will have no idea what function they're even instructing the students to use. (For example, the vast majority of TI-82/83 functionality mapped into TI-85/86 functionality. It was even usually in the same menu. It's just that the menu looks different and used the function keys instead of the number keys. That was confusing, apparently.)

Well, yeah. Why do you think I put "important" in quotes?

You didn't think I was talking about the Smithsonian or something, did you?

Technically? Nothing really stopping the ISPs from selling the customer-to-port mappings to advertisers, but it *does* add a step to the process.

That's probably how they'll sell it, though.

New feature: "Privacy Guard CGNAT" protects your privacy by preventing your computer from broadcasting an IP address. Please note that some applications such as VPNs and certain games are not compatible with "Privacy Guard CGNAT." Public IP addresses are available for the low cost of $29.99/month for our valued customers who need them.

From an ISP's perspective:

A. Put customers behind CGNAT, charge extra for a public IPv4 address.
B. Give everyone a block of IPv6 addresses for free.

I know some ISPs have chosen B (Comcast, surprisingly) but I would be willing to bet that a not insignificant chunk of ISPs are going to pick A for as long as they can get away with it. (That is, until a critical mass of "important" online services go IPv6-only. Which, let's face it, that's going to be a while.)

The UK wrote a strongly worded letter to Facebook.

A quick google search for "corporate buzzword generator" will reveal a myriad of free services that serve the same function.

It's sad, but technology marches on.
