Who is "we"?

Aside from the arguments others have already replied to, your numbers are wrong by an order of magnitude. 280K/year comes out to 767/day on average. Yesterday 777 people died of Co…

But if we had a large number of undetected cases in the past, then we should also have a large number of undetected cases now, contrary to the study. (Unless we already have herd i…

Well, in principle it does sound like a possibly "vaccine", but without the long-term testing I still don't see how we can be sure we have found this attenuated strain. Personally,…

I don't see the point of this. Nature has most certainly not established the long-term effects of this virus, seeing as it has only been spreading in humans for a short while. Skir…

It seems the reason the vaccine will take so long (12-18months) to develop is because it needs to be tested for long-term safety which takes a trial with long-term monitoring. As t…

You can't bike across the crosswalk, but you can get off your bike, step onto the sidewalk and walk your bike across the pedestrian crossing.

Is anybody able to find the actual study? The best I could find is the news release from the University of York from May [1]. [1] https://www.york.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/2019/r…

I assume you live in the EU (or somewhere else outside the US), where it is the most natural thing to just send money from your account to another one. This simply isn't a thing in…

I like this graph: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-48678196 . Gets the trend across in a very concise and obvious manner.

They'll forever remain on my mind for their rip-off "lifetime hosting". I paid a lot of money for it, and it was supposed to last while the company lasted. But then they were folde…

A typical olympic pool (assumed 50m x 25m x 2m; the depth actually isn't standarized), contains 2500m^3 of water. 1m^3 of water has a mass of 1t (in typical conditions). So 10^6 to…

I don't think it violates the GPL, as the GPL doesn't really care about names. You still have every right to fork git, but have to call it a different name. So if you call your for…

From mrmr1993's link: > The USPTO initially rejected our application as confusingly similar to the existing trademark on GitHub, which was filed in 2008. While one might imagine wh…

Bitcoin has crazy volatility compared to gold and even USD. Sure, you can use it for speculation, but no one in their right mind uses Bitcoin as a store of value. People just hope …

The thing is, TCP/IP is necessary to deliver the website. From a user's point of view, a huge majority of the websites have no reason to set a cookie. Anything where I don't login,…

Care to tell us which one it is?

Are there no laws in the US?

Tough luck. There is no fundamental right allowing tracking or advertising. There is a fundamental right to privacy.

Did you delete all EU users' data?

I don't understand why you are getting downvoted, because this is indeed what Tether claims. From their homepage "100% Backed Every tether is always backed 1-to-1, by traditional c…

Even worse, they tried to get an audit, but it ended up with them and their auditor ending the process without producing an audit. Apparently they weren't too happy the auditor wan…

The problem isn't the warnings. The problem is that every damn website where you read a single article thinks it's somehow ok to set a cookie (and track you).

Pandoc ist also pretty well-known even outside the Haskell world.
