TMobile throwing shade at DISH when they’re shutting down 3G network that is relied on by millions of people with lower income who cannot afford a new phone or plan increase. “We gave DISH a year to get Boost customers off 3G”, during the pandemic and skyrocketing unemployment? Ridiculous. Even extending the deadline…

3D printing sounds cool and all, but honestly it’d be more practical to just pump the veggie-meat into a steak-shaped injection mold. No fancy 3D printing needed. Unless they are truly considering adding the realism of fat, gristle and all that connected tissue texture, there’s no point in squeezing out meat layer by…

I'm also thinking it's selection bias, as the article mentioned “the vast majority of those who said they had fallen ill with coronavirus did not report testing positive for it, meaning many may have self-diagnosed”...it also might be that stupid people are more likely to get exposed to Covid19 with poor choices. 

The press appears to be exempt from curfew: “police repeatedly and unlawfully detained journalists for being out past curfew at various times, even though members of the news media were specifically exempted by both state and local curfew orders”.

Hmm...Why not pay a percentage up front for materials and the remainder on delivery? That’s how most companies do business the first time.

I like your stance on forgiving payment and wish it were as simple as Verizon footing the bill, but the cost has gotta come from somewhere - those investors need to see a steady return on investment, who will fuel their jets and pay for their golden toilets?

Help me understand the logic of an immunity passport. Is the idea that only people who have been infected & recover (assuming they could be immune) can travel / go outside / (insert social activity) while the people taking every precaution to avoid getting sick can’t go out?

Propaganda much? Hello from someone who’s lived in China, worked in both public & private sectors, and talks to family there everyday about what’s going on. China isn’t a dictatorship (oligopoly, maybe) any more than Trump is mein fuhrer when it involves national emergencies.

Influenza pandemic research suggests masks do help reduce infection for aerosol transmission:  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195670113000698

BB usually offers free appliance installation (I just had washer and dryer put in) If not, I’d recommend any one of the numerous paid labor services (Handy, Taskrabbit, CollegeHunks, etc) rather than do it yourself and risk a longer heal time. Ask the service team (there will be 2+ for a fridge) to wear masks and…

Exponential outbreaks look exactly like this, with Wuhan a ground zero expanding outward. We haven’t seen the same infection rates thanks to restricting travel (airlines stopped allowing flights from China, not allowing people through customs) and catching it early, but it’s mostly just a larger number of people got…

A few corrections: these aren’t people dying from malnutrition. Rather, it’s lack of awareness for proper hand washing with soap, and a more densely packed highly interactive society . Also, most Chinese people see a doctor for anything and everything. From NPR, 95% of Chinese people have basic health insurance, and…

Traditional speakers are speakers, but these are basically computers with a speaker. Since they use wifi to receive and sync audio, the firmware needs to keep up with new communication profiles, audio codecs, etc. Unfortunately, a lot of Sonos customers assumed their newer speakers will work with older ones, but they…

Our current voting system fails on trust, there’s no way to check my vote was even properly tallied. I would gladly trade total anonymity for knowing my vote was counted (how do Floridians sleep at night?).

I agree smart tech is less useful for apartment living, but for multi-level homeowners it’s all about convenience. Turn on lights and heat before you get home, lock the front door from upstairs when someone forgets, see who rang the doorbell without needing to answer it in person.

You might’ve missed the point. Look at the black-owned networks you mentioned and see who they cater to: the African American community. Is it because Pets.TV doesn’t “have a chance” or that it was pitched by the “wrong” person? Allen argues that had he been a white male, they would’ve accepted it. A black man owning…

Seems a bit coincidental that the blackout occurred on the anniversary of the 1977 blackout, I think we have ourselves a serial vandal. 

The seasonal workers aren’t employed by Amazon, they are hired by smaller shipping companies who also own the trucks. When Amazon “leases” trucks they rely on contractors to handle the responsibility of leasing trucks, hiring & training employees. Drivers often get hit with a bait and switch when they sign up thinking …

Suggesting everyone (including the black community) stop using it is akin to the “all lives matter” response from the BLM movement. What right does the non-black population have to say “you can’t use that word anymore because it offends me”?

This! For years I had trouble cooking eggs (overcooked, hard to peel, etc) until I read it’s all about starting eggs in lukewarm water first, then turning it off once it boils. Never had issues since, perfect hardboiled eggs every time.
