Certain viruses maintained their lethality as time went on. Smallpox was very lethal throughout time. Influenza lethality ebbs throughout history. I don't think we can or should depend on less-lethal, common-cold-like symptoms from Covid-19 at any point.

It's an interesting argument; however I am a little dissuaded by the fact that half of the support for the claims of similar syntax between Norwegian and English (split infinitives and placing a preposition at the end of a sentence) are generally considered poor grammar in English.

The source cited for the Gohmert quote on batteries is a joke site called rumormill.com.

I'm glad that dailykos checks their sources thoroughly.

Just for independent verification purposes, I tried to find a free copy of this book using his search terms, and didn't come up with anything in a few minutes of clicking after results.

It appears that there is a 5th edition of his Javascript book and a 6th edition of another author's HTML book easily reachable from those terms, but no free electronic copy of a 6th edition Javascript book.

Google will remove links to pirated copies of books, one needs only submit a DMCA request. I doubt that DMCA requests will drive publicity for your book launch like an entitled blog post, though.

We are looking for high-scalability data processing, machine learning, ETL, and/or browser-internals/javascript experts. Contract or contract to hire. Remote or local to Santa Monica, CA. Typical startup environment.

That Document structure stores a URL and its pagerank for later processing.

In the Sawzall paper, it's used in a program that reports the top URL from a domain, ranked by pagerank:

     proto "document.proto"
     max_pagerank_url:
          table maximum(1) [domain: string] of url: string
                weight pagerank: int;

     doc: Document = input;
     emit max_pagerank_url[domain(doc.url)] <- doc.url
          weight doc.pagerank;
