It isn't right to consider that time as a golden age of software reliability. Software wasn't less buggy back then. My clear recollection is that it was all unbelievably buggy by today's standards. However things we take for

IMO yes. Software is a lot more reliable than it was 25 years ago. This boils down to: 1. Unit/regression testing, CI 2. Code reviews and code review tools that are good. 3. Much more use of garbage collected languages. 4. Crash report

Have you considered that it might just be you live in a dangerous place? None of the women I know carry around those things and never have. If they have stories of being harassed in public places, it never came up in conversation either. Bu

Spread through drainpipes isn't some theory I made up, it's the conclusion of investigations into how SARS-1 spread in Hong Kong. The drains in questions were floor drains, so presumably had didn't have per-apartment traps in

I used to go regularly to meetups in my local town that were specifically about meeting strangers. They would usually be advertised as for people 'new in town' but in reality a lot of people went there just to hang out even if the

Anything related to COVID or vaccines for example.

The speculation was never unbacked - the mere fact that the first cases happened right next to one of the world's only CoV virology labs was itself backing.

Well at least you accept that mask mandates were wrong, even though you also attack people "operating at the level of masks don't work". Seems like a contradiction. Germany mandated FFP2 masks quite a while ago. They didn&#x2

Yes I was wondering how long it'd take you to start claiming anyone who doesn't fall over themselves to praise this layabout is "misogynistic". Three posts isn't bad, many would do worse. But it was inevitable. The

Your evidence for masks working is ... movies? This has come up so often, but clearly, repetition must continue. Masks and mask mandates had no effect on COVID at any point. Even a cursory amount of time spent with the case graphs and start

The amount of evidence in the ProPublica article/senate report is quite staggering. What's interesting is that it's clear that US intelligence knew it was a lab leak very early on. Trump's comment makes that clear: In A

That's certainly one theory. Point is, it's just speculation. Nobody knows and the council members, despite theoretically answering to voters, systematically refuse to say anything about what goes on in those meetings. Isn't

The USA has the concept of both fair use and public domain, which is lacking in many other countries copyright laws. The idea that the USA is uniquely IP owner friendly is commonplace in the tech community but wrong.

That's the left wing perspective, not some universal truth. Obvious counterexamples: America, the internet, e2e encrypted messaging.

Parler is back in the play store. Yes, left wing parties are not particularly keen on free speech, but the difference is that in the EU they've placed themselves in an unassailable dictatorship which had just announced it will censor c

There are many such examples. Look at the group "Stop Funding Hate" in the UK that constantly harasses companies who advertise in newspapers and news channels that aren't dominated by the left.

None of the censorship people complain about on Twitter is to do with enforcing politeness or decorum, it's all censorship of specific information or opinions regardless of how politely phrased. And that lack of fixed rules is part of

Only in theory. In practice the head of the Commission has the ability to veto the countries proposals, an ability you won't find in any treaty because it's not meant to exist. Nonetheless, Juncker said: https://www.rp.

That's not accurate. Von Der Leyen was not proposed by any party. The parties proposed other leaders. The "spitzenkandidaten" system that led to Juncker becoming EU President was only used once and was ignored this time. In f

"we sure as hell had an election for EU parliament here in Sweden" And it was irrelevant because the EU Parliament isn't a real Parliament, no more than the assembly of representatives in North Korea is. It lacks the so-cal

The summary here is that the EU Commission has decided to head towards a sort of China-Lite style set of policies. It is now banning "disinformation" (what China calls "rumours") using only the self-censorship requiremen

You demand evidence, but the report is a review of the evidence, so they're doing exactly what you ask. Are you sure you're not the one who is offering innuendo here? You were insinuating and now outright stating that the entire t

What is a "real report" by your definition? The word report is a very general one. Peer-review studies are not exactly trustworthy on this topic, are they? The peers in question are virologists and others who directly enabled thei

You could also easily claim the inverse: the lack of Democrats shows that the refusal to contemplate a lab leak is political. Besides, since when is something being political a problem? You'd expect the party in opposition to investiga

No, that's what you call it. The rest of us call it racism, sexism and discrimination against innocent people who did nothing wrong.
