EA?

If you ask this of any current day AI it will answer exactly how you would expect. Telling you to drive, and acknowledging the comedic nature of the question.

Cast-iron, or enamel-coated cast-iron.

I remember reading that autoimmune diseases are more common in people descended from regions that survived the bubonic plague, and that it’s believed this is because the survivors of the plague had mutations which meant they had a more active immune system.

A single apartment complex could almost certainly not cover enough space with solar panels in order to charge a battery to accommodate this.

New Orleans is undeniably worse. Sea level in much of the Gulf Coast rose 8 inches from 2006 to 2018: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/04/1...

“Effectiveness” was a measurement of reduction in severe infection, not reduction of transmissibility. Nobody ever claimed there was a 90% reduction in transmission.

The Treasury (under the executive branch) could possibly regulate crypto as a currency, but most likely this would require new legislation from congress to give the Treasury the power to do so.

I have less gray hair today than 5 years ago - I think that’s pretty easy for aging men to achieve. ;)

Gitolite is open source and really easy to self host if you only need VCS.

Montague makes various full sized folding bikes. I’m quite pleased with the Navigator, but they even make a folding mountain bike, the Paratrooper.

When unfolded, you can’t tell at all that they’re folding bikes.

And only the one person returning from South Africa would have needed to actually be a false negative. The rest may have been true negatives.

It’s expected that conflicts of interest be disclosed in journalism and things like this. Instead he actively worked to hide his conflict of interest.

He absolutely did try to hide things. He tried to hide his relationship to the original Lancet article denouncing the lab leak theory, because he knew it was a staggering conflict of interest:

This back and forth was fantastic to read, though I understand basically none of it.

So people can work from home, is probably the most common reason.

And many companies probably don’t consider themselves a likely target until after it happens.

On a similar note:

The period leading up to the Black Death in Europe was a warmer climate than usual, allowing agriculture to expand and populations to explode. Deforestation was widespread as agriculture expanded.

There is a theory that the immense depopulation caused by the Black Death also allowed significant reforestation to occur in Europe, which in turn led to increased carbon capture from the atmosphere, and perhaps helped cause the Little Ice Age that began in the 1500’s.

Sars Cov 2 is a coronavirus, one among several of a similar type. We're still learning much about it and doubtless there are going to be many complicated patient outcomes from some among the many millions who recover from it, but it's not some insane new super disease from the bowels of hell.

Like the article says, SARS-CoV-1 also resulted in chronic fatigue and other lifelong problems. It’s not remotely a stretch to believe this newer coronavirus would as well.

Yes, but it’s only more efficient than testing everybody if you are unlikely to get a positive result. So, in places where covid is not widely spreading.

Sorry, but you are wrong.

This would no more violate the ADA than random drug testing (legal) or requiring temperature checks, which some employers are already doing to protect against COVID-19.

Also, the ADA is not a constitutional amendment, so even if there is a potential conflict with ADA, Congress could easily address that in a new bill without needing to pass a new constitutional amendment.

Mutation is not the only factor determining how often a vaccine would be given. If antibodies only last a year from the vaccine dose, it should still be given yearly, even if the virus has not mutated.

Yes, i3 drastically improved my ability to be productive and not get lost in my windows.

I sorely miss it when I am using windows or MacOS.

Turns out I’m wrong! Cancer does undergo natir selection and develops resistance:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_evolution_in_cancer#...

It’s my understanding that cancer stems from malfunctioning of our own cell processes, rather than from something that is viral/bacterial.

For that reason it seems wrong to think about cancer as “developing” resistances - I don’t believe that cancer is something that evolves/mutates.

Is this project still active? I remember seeing this years ago, but it seemed like the developer walked away from it.

I would really like to have the ability to install asetniop on Linux, and have the layout be configurable.

I don't see this as cornercase. I see this as going for easiest possible email address to type, and easiest possible email address to verbally communicate to someone.

I'll second comstock's reply that this won't work for all kids. Picking my 2-year old up mid-tantrum would just make him try to fling himself backward out of my arms and potentially get hurt from falling.

We need to regulate private data amassed by internet giants the same way we regulate data gathered by credit reporting agencies.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act [1]:

- regulates what data credit agencies can store,

- mandates that people be able to access data about themselves,

- mandates that third parties cannot access a person's data without the person's consent every single time,

- mandates that people must be able to correct false information in their credit file,

- mandates that people be able to place a "freeze" on uses of their credit data

Each of these things translates quite nicely to private data that internet giants gather on us.

Actually, I think you've just shot down your own argument. Please explain why you feel that existing regulation of Equifax "didn't seem to help any". That is a truly laughable assertion.

Early in their history, credit agencies collected very private personal information about people for inclusion in their credit files. The information in peoples' credit files was frequently inaccurate, and consumers had no way of correcting that information, and no way of even knowing what was in their credit file.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act [1] limits the information that credit agencies can keep on people, mandates that people be allowed to access what is in their file, mandates that people be able to correct inaccurate information, and restrains how third parties can access the information.

In fact, that all sounds like a great start to regulation for social networks and other internet giants!

Gaming with peripherals.

If you are playing a VR game where you are using a joystick or some other peripheral, you still may need to use your keyboard for some actions, in-game chat, or simply to pull up a browser and google something while in-game.

If you primarily have your hands on a joystick or game controller, you would have to take your VR headset off just to figure out where your keyboard/mouse are.
