Quality control is a LOT lower in China than in the US, and that's even considering the US's bias towards industry in its legislation. This is why chinese electronics catch fire a lot more (than Japanese ones, for example, too). T

You misunderstand the utility of masks, where it is significantly more an infected wearer of the mask who protects others by their wearing. So, being infections before you have symptoms is the problem, which is why people should - as is sta

Except the experts are mostly objective. However, the waters have been muddied in the public's view by anti-maskers, like anti-vaxxers. This is a real catastrophe of the pandemic.

You are using a perfection fallacy, or black-and-white thinking here. That a significant number of ordinary peopple do not mask well or do not have / know of the correct mask to use doesn not make the masks or the process ineffective.

Thank you, I hadn't seen this yet, and it's a legitiately well-researched piece by medical scientists with methodological expertise and communicative clarity, which is not always the case.

Your comment is amusing and biting! Sadly, with and irony are not particularly valued on HN. Direct clear expressions are preferable for the expected neurotypes of this pseudo-community.

Please note: 1. surgical masks are pretty ineffective, but N95 and better masks are very effective, subject to proper use and quality control 2. Mask research and experience pre-COVID in the West was not widely understood by non-experts eve

Your comment does read like 'My grandma has smoked 20 a day all her life and she's still alive at 90'. statistics do not preclude people from being luckier or unluckier than the average.

This is a poor analogy, because there is no coparable access to build other app stores, as this is not the same kind of ecosystem for a market.

Clearly you're not aware of the classic cross-ply tyre which is what classic cars used before radials became standard. These are car tyres, and while I'm sorry somebody crashed into you, this was more their lack of attention than

These are countries with much higher mortality rates already because many of their health systems are not even close to as well-funded and available as a European one. So, many fewer cancer screenings to go to. And more deaths already from

I think there's one other aspect here that needs to be considered, which is what happens when undocumented features appear, as with the Polkadot fiasco, among others, where bugs in the shared walletsplus some thirs party actions used b

Does this take into account the fact that before hygiene, germ theory and the beginning of the C20th, most infants died early? Dying of these pathogens as an infant is a reliable way not to catch them later in life.

WavesNX may have been a good idea, but it's badly-made, fights with drivers, resulting it being in an actively-antagonistic piece of Dell bloatware, unfortunately.

Indeed, that's Andrew Wiles, or now Sir Andrew Wiles KBE FRS Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Oxford. It's likely this was the documentary: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074

Exactly this. You're not a coder, or even a programmer, to bring value to the job. You're an analyst, a systems developer, and a communications expert, with domain knowledge. Leverage this for sure. Monkeys can code. Good develope
