he doesn't mention the first amendment - free speech is about more than american laws. Saying that what twitter is doing is "stifling free speech" is a matter of opinion, and while you can certainly argue against the statemen

Where does he mention the 1st amendment?

I'm not against people becoming more educated - I have 100% faith in twitter's superiority. I know that the talented and, frankly, superior human beings over at twitter are the best people in the world to educate the ignorant pu

Are infections spread out across a representative sample of the population? Is the population of New York (in terms of genetic makeup, behavior, underlying conditions etc) match that of the rest of the world? I realize that this site is fil

OpenSMTPD has only been going for 7 years and it's gone through a bunch of changes almost every OpenBSD release.

"Test refusal" is a very bad metric. Almost no countries are testing anyone who suspects they might be infected. A lot of European countries actually have more restrictive guidelines than Japan - Norway won't even test people

If it can be done cheaply and easily while preventing additional infections, no harm at all. In fact, testing as many people as possible to isolate carriers is, I believe, the single best way to handle this crisis. It's not doable at t

We do not have all the data we need. Just for starters, we don't know why the situation is so much worse in Italy than in Japan.

The testing rate is low almost everywhere. The mass testing done in the Italian town Vò suggests that 50-75% of infections are asymptomatic (but still contagious). This matches the findings from the cruise ship "Diamond Princess".

Because shutting down the economy will kill people, too. It will also decrease quality of life for everyone, and disrupt families, communities, cities and countries. I don't even know what the best course of action is, but there are tr

Most infections never turn into "cases", which is why the IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) is a lot lower than the CFR (Case Fatality Rate). How much lower is very, very hard to say. Also note that there's no strict definition

by odkamkfn 7y ago
Death rate != CFR. CFR is the fatality rate for diagnosed people and it's gonna swing wildly depending on how many people are tested and diagnosed. And considering how this virus affects young and healthy people, there's good reas

the "overt objectification" (i'm cringing at the prudishness) makes the project better. hobby projects shouldn't be bound by the moral (really aesthetic) sense of corporate america.

This is either the best time to be alive ever, or pretty close to it. Get some perspective.

Your health, your family's health and the health of other people - all of that is related to the economy.

"You should have used ssh." In a friendly tone, of course. If the people you work with are triggered by this and don't push back in an equally friendly tone - you have bigger problems than linguistic ones.

"Gentrification is a process of changing the character of a neighborhood through the influx of more affluent residents and businesses." 1. I'm not a well-paid geek. 2. What you are describing isn't gentrification.
20.
by odkamkfn 7y ago
You should look at actual gentrification studies - displacement is almost never as bad as predicted and usually ultimately everyone benefits.

by odkamkfn 7y ago
Not the parent poster, but I certainly reject the concept of gentrification, or at least reject it as something to be avoided.

As far as I can tell, no one is arguing against identifying as LGBT in any of the comments here. Try to be more charitable when reading what other people have to say.

If we compare the year with the worst nuclear accident in history so far to a completely unremarkable year of fossil fuels, nuclear comes out ahead when it comes to safety.

I haven't even met anyone requesting "he", "she" or "they" in real life. And if I do, I'll probably just disengage and walk away.
