It doesn't require the browser to be always on, unless you want to download something (which is the same as a normal download). Do you mean it's better for the health of the swarm for a particular file? Otherwise I'm not sure

While we're at it, let's give lower priority to obese, smokers, alcoholics... or let's not. It's a slippery slope to start discriminating against people based on whether the admitting staff think they're worthy of t

What happens when the fees due on collection get so high that the importer / final delivery company / final customer changes their mind about collecting the container? Who has to store and ultimately dispose of the contents? Do th

Would you be in favour of applying this policy to all people displaying behaviours deemed at higher risk of requiring hospital treatment? And who should decide what constitutes risky activity?

We weren't talking about mandates, but I'll bite. The difference is you don't have to trust the government to know seat belts save lives; the law on seat belts is common sense to anyone of sound mind. On the other hand, show

I did the same calculation and came to a similar conclusion. Here's one such calculator: https://www.qcovid.org/Calculation . There are others based on more recent data, as well as papers and government data with age-st

I got one second hand from someone I worked with who was moving away. I also didn't realise how much fun it would be. There's great satisfaction from tuning the device to print perfectly and it forces your CAD skills to improve. A

Yes, npm is typically used to build minified JavaScript code for WordPress plugin distribution. WordPress developers themselves use it for the Gutenberg editor. I personally dislike this new age and miss the days of hacking with just a text

I happened to come across this project yesterday on reddit [1] and have spent the last day dreaming of building one. The quality of the documentation and activity on Discord is a big plus. First I need to build a super strong table for it t

You either didn't read or understand my comment, or you're intentionally choosing not to address my points, so I won't reply to you any more.

...in which case, restrictions should never have been mandated, and those who looked at their personal risk and decided that going about their lives as normal was acceptable should have been allowed to do so. And besides, in the UK the cont

The title is not misleading. It's a statement of fact inferred from data presented in the first paragraph. Calculating per capita hospitalisation would be a measurement of a different metric and require a different title too.

I didn't mention masks nor the effect or lack of effect of the current vaccines on case rates, I only added a supporting statement to the previous comment that they are doing very little to stop spread.

Bitcoin aligns incentives. It's in the interest of those with lots of bitcoin to have everyone else use the same fork, so their coins have value. This discourages bad behaviour from whales. Let's not forget that bitcoin's mon

Possibly there needs to be something classified as a sweetener, yes, but the definition of "sugar-free" is apparently also anything with 0.1g or less sugar per 100g, so may it be that there is still a bit of sugar in the sugar-fre

There will be some new anti-ad tech becoming popular if first-party ads become a thing. For instance, I could think of some browser plugin that looks for visible DOM elements that change between refreshes. To deal with false positives it co

I wonder if someone will make a computer game akin to Bridge Designer, but for surviving falls. Levels could have various objects released along with your body, and various targets on the ground to aim for, and you can try to survive.

I wonder why the advice if you're still on a row of seats is to ditch it. Whilst heavier, it may also be wider. I guess it's the ratio of mass to surface area (× drag coefficient) that matters, and if the thing you're attache
