No that means you have to pay for shit that you don't really own and that you can't return if you don't like it.

Blocking access to public land is definitely bad. But am I the only one who's first reaction is "Fuck hunters" anyway?

And maybe even do better. The trick is to know who exactly to put in those 80%.

I actually like this spelling. The sounds that have exact equivalents use the Latin alphabet and those that do not are replaced by the character's native system. Cause his name is not Pyotr or Peter or Pierre or whatever else. It is Pëtr indeed.

well, maybe, just maybe, that's because the socio-economic status correlates positively with cognitive abilities and the kids somehow inherit the traits of their parents?

I like how clearly you distinguish "evil" and "not legal" :)

Nonsense. Education is not about taking a course or reading bunch of books. The big part of education is being able to directly ask a knowledgeable person once you're stuck. You can ask the community of course but the quality of community answers is more than often just trash.

ehmmm... From the recent Bloomberg article I read the Russia claims ~6K dead and some unspecified western experts estimate it rather ~15K. Now USA lost ~60K in Vietnam. Sorry, that is not "as many or more". Nowhere near.

Funny. I actually do the opposite.

It could be much worse. I for one often get web sites open in French...

Humans can have a beneficial impact on the environment too

They can but they (mostly) do not. And the best way to have a beneficial impact on environment in the current situation would be "simply" to reduce its numbers. Unfortunately that's not so easy.

Just like many others under the same order. What's the news?

Hi there, the "Ministry of Truth"!

I suspect the true numbers are about 10x-50x the reported confirmed cases

I came to similar conclusion just looking at the openly available numbers: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

If you compare the number of serious cases to the number of total cases for different countries you'll get a 10x difference. Norway tests more thoroughly then the other countries, so it has a huge number of active cases. But from those only ~2% serious. There may be different reasons for such a discrepancy but I tend to agree with your conclusion that we have a lot of asymptomatic cases around, higher then estimated R0 and lower then estimated fatality.

While sharing your view of the situation I do not see anything to back your hopes.

Not completely true. VSCode is not so bad in general, and for an electron app it is actually great. I also kinda like their wireless sculpt desktop (keyboard+mouse). But the rest is garbage indeed.

And so does the Bridgewater to the best of my knowledge. This could mean those guys are hedging too much against the next bubble burst and expect it to come rather sooner then later.

here is a dichotomy between traits that get people promoted at large companies and traits that make a good manager

This is exactly what the article says

I do not get it, sorry. The door opens out, and the pressure is higher inside. So how does the pressure difference prevent opening that door?

Never tried it on Windows. For me it was pretty bad on Linux and macOS.

yes, I guess comparing with the de-facto standard solution (cmake) would be more beneficial.

Giving money to poor you only create more of those. People should be given a chance, not money.

Yes. Because the major selling point of it was linked to who actually made those arguments: "prominent scientists, etc". In fact there are very few scientists in the list, and I have not found a single "prominent" one.

Right. Without realizing the sheer number of people is the root cause of the problem all other climate and biodiversity conservation measures make no sense.

Engineers might well be aware but not the managers who make decisions
