Maybe they have children that they care about?

That is exactly how it feels.

Code generation is against my religion so "no code generation" is a welcome headline.

I've heard about this in places like Ireland. Complete hysteria.

It's not a surprise that you can't understand Taibbi if your only lens of analysis is Red Team vs. Blue Team.

There is a subtle (perhaps unintentional) sleight of hand here. 60% of all new restaurants close on the first year. That is very different than half of *all restaurants, even those that have been open for decades, closing in a single year

Interviews are really tough. Salaries are awful. Seriously. Please stay in your coastal enclave. It's terrible here :)

You have no scientific evidence that these students not wearing surgical masks or cloth face coverings has anything to do with covid spread. We have decades, nay a century, of science showing that face covering requirements do not slow the

So the solution is to lock the kids alone in their dorms? What a nightmare. Forbidding human contact with anyone is the most extreme covid restriction I've ever heard of. A clear violation of human rights.

Easy. Tell them they can come to work or find another job.

Tell them what? That they are required to operate in CA no matter the terms? Good luck with that.

That's the entire point. Divide and conquer.

We're talking about preventing covid deaths in 2020 and you bring up the Trans-Alantic slave trade. This is why no one takes you guys seriously anymore.

A more accurate term is "racial discrimination". Doesn't make it any more palatable.

You need to accept that is not going to happen any time soon. We don't have the luxury of sitting on our hands indefinitely.

How many excess deaths are not okay? 1? 10? The right strategy is to grin and bear it like our ancestors did. We'll have a vaccine soon enough. Or not. Either way, welcome to Planet Earth. Most of us Earthlings would prefer to live rat

Show me the data that indicates states that have opened in the last two weeks are experiencing spiking positives for the virus. Sure, I'll wait.

Something like 0.2% of NYC residents have passed away from the virus. As of 2018 the MTA had 50k employees. 60 out of 50,000 is 0.12%.

You miss them. Not their faces.

This take is too pessimistic. Eventually we will have enough data to project what could have happened without treatments like this. We will know the rate of infection, the rate of death without treatment, etc. There will be many different g

Thank you. I have yet to see an example in this thread or anywhere else that did not fall into this category.

For the benefit of the rest of us, can you explain what issues this causes and where/how you are running this code?

Please give a concrete example of this pain that you have actually experienced. I understand that ASI (automatic semi-colon insertion) is in theory ambiguous because you are relying on the compiler, or in some cases many different compilers

A bash one-liner solves this problem for you. If you think it's "cool" to execute JS as a bookmarklet you are free to distribute your own version of the library. The original commenter was the one "putting people down&qu

Imagine still using semi-colons in JS source in 2020 and "bookmarklet compatibility" being your reasoning.

Comparing writing new songs to developing new technology is apples to oranges. It doesn't require billions of dollars and man-hours in R&D to follow your passion and write the next big hit. It just takes talent and a few years of p

You're beating around the bush. If you agree that hegemonic states engaging in imperialism isn't "special", why are you so resistant to the idea that China will behave that way once it has the opportunity? If you ask tho

China plays a much longer game than the US. But sure, let's say next decade then. Your analogy is poor. I'm describing the behavior of all hegemonic empires in history. You seem to think the US is a special case. Why is that?

by slimed 7y ago
Let's check back in a few decades and see if this still holds true. I suspect the current disparity is due the US holding the title of unchecked global super power for the past century while China is still getting up to speed. What hap
