The US and the world isn't as bad as it seems. It's only news and social media that makes it feel that way. With the rise of global news networks in the 70's and 80's it's made the…

Let me recommend something to you. It's called Autoimmune diseases. Good luck

It's not healthy long term though because humans have to exchange bacteria and get sick.

I've flown a lot since the late 90's. A bunch of different areas. My dad was very into it. I've never had a bird attack an airplane or helicopter. I've never flown quadcopters/dron…

You're a developer I'm assuming. You think the CDC is capable of developing a model that could predict this? As a developer I don't have much confidence for something like that. Ne…

An airplane is different than a helicopter. Doesn't mean we can't learn things by observing the other.

Yea just keep imagining. We'll never know. We could have had the same amount of deaths just by the older folks and at risk people quarantine themselves and everyone else keeps work…

I'm reading the book called unconditional parenting and it teaches a lot of this. It has an amazing effect on my 4 year old. You just literally tell them stuff and ask stuff like y…

It's not a Catalina thing. How long have you done music on Mac? Went through this with Snow leopard. Then with Mountain Lion. I can't install Rapture, Dimension Pro or Z3ta from Ca…

I've made a comment about this on hacker news before. It's only a Mac thing. You can install a 15 year old DAW on Windows still to this day. You can't install something from 3 year…

Gotta keep the population scared. Same thing happened during AIDS epidemic.

With something so artificial as this lock down I'm sure it will. We basically removed millions of jobs from the economy on purpose.

Even though recessions cause loss of lives(as they always do), I'm not arguing we value the economy over lives. The economy will bounce back as it always does. I'm arguing that we …

I'm aware of excess death or all cause. This doesn't take in account the delay of deaths we're going to have. So we need to look at all cause globally in a year or two or ten

Sorry I meant like go shoot basketball or run with a soccer ball by yourself. Whatever is fun to get out.

I know you live in a tech bubble, but people still have to physically go to a thing called work. You're telling me that some car accidents go down that will offset aids, tuberculos…

Only thing anyone can do is go to a shoe store, buy some running shoes and start running like 5 to 10 miles a week. Lay out in the sun and start eating healthier. If you can't run …

80k died in 2017-2018 US flu season. I'm sorry but where was the shutdown? Luckily this whole thing is going to be gone November 4th.

It's not clear anything is saving lives. Once everything opens up we could be right where we started. Also we've said basically that people with coronavirus matter more than other …

I'm in the same boat. I'm kind of done with Mac though because Catalina broke a bunch of VST's I used and Live 9. I'm not paying for an upgrade on Ableton Live because an OS upgrad…

Nope because we're not saving any net lives. We're only exchanging lives during this whole thing. Exchanging mostly older folks for others. The whole quarantine can be described: I…

I don't need to lose weight though. Diet more for just other health reasons. 5' 11" 165lb. I could probably lose a little belly fat, but nothing crazy right now.

I did it because when I was on an elimination diet, it was recommended to quit caffeine too. Hasn't seemed to have much effect. I sleep the same, still grind my teeth, still have p…

I did it a couple months ago. I've been drinking 3 - 5 cups a day(sometimes more) for years. I just slowly went from drinking it throughout the whole day eliminating cups until I h…
