I think the real concern is that the downside could be bad. Mainly that if the numbers progress like SARS. As we crunched the data SARS kept getting bumped up ,and the literature ca. 2015 is now ~15% which is way higher than the ~2% in the very early days. Currently in the very early days for wanhu we are seeing about…

That sort of thing is arbitrary. They get all emotionally worked up for something they probably can’t taste or smell anyway, and claim it can be done nowhere else. Except they haven’t had grapes grown the places they haven’t been grown yet. And odds are one of them will have it’s own bullshit specialness that can’t be…

The reaction is not overblown. Well maybe the journalists are being a bit overly dramatic for the current state, but it’s got a setup that could have one heck of a downside.

While the EV bit means that you can escape the wheelbase equation for fuel economy in CAFE, I don’t think you will ever get back to the really small mini trucks due to crash standards. 

It involves a horribly unergonomic version of keyboard and mouse. That’s like apple’s bread and butter design wise. The good old puck from teh candy colored imac days could give you RSI in about an hour. 

Why would the movement of people from an incident in the gulf coast be considered a quality training set of data for people fleeing all three coasts?

Since the various refrences linked in the article can’t agree on a number for even just the spanish flu (just in the linked stuff, got numbers from 1.8-3 as teh r-naught), I’m guessing you will never get a real definition of what the number means. In fact wikipedia (which appears to have been the point of referenced…

There are plenty of convenient bus stops by me, and zero convenient bus routes. Unless it’s going to change that, it’s useless. 

Based on my experience with the fallout of a similar kind of job (family member who had to deal with child sexual abuse cases full time), I have to disagree on both a practical level and a fundamental level.

Crap economy? Where you living with a crap economy? Audio books move because for a lot of people, when you can only check something out for a week at a time, audio books can be consumed while doing other things. Commuting, cleaning house, working out, etc. And thus fit the lending model better for many people.…

While removing DRM from borrowed ebooks is sketchy as hell, I really do wonder why damn near every ebook I own has both a disclaimer saying the publisher asked that the book be distributed without DRM, AND has DRM applied by the vendor.

So capitalism is bad because patent trolls must automatically be correct and rewarded?

It’s not about lazy, it’s about refusing to accept one’s choices and wanting to have your cake and eat it too.

People need to stop with this “ban facial recognition or the RACISTS!!!! Wargfaashdkjabndn!!!” crap.

Mandatory suicide.

I do think kids are more stupid these days. But for the most part it is really just that kids can gin up a much higher grade of stupid when in a group applying peer pressure to each other while coming up with extra bad ideas via the power of teamwork. Which is nothing new. It’s just that with today’s technology, they…

Faking it is easy as long as the sensor isn’t clipping.

multiple zoom levels is great. I can’t wait for the death of the hideous camera hump. Or at the very least the advent of a less hideous and (most importantly) more stable camera bump. 

For example, the agency has historically allowed its employees to work from home and has been pretty flexible about work schedules, Danita Yocom, the vice president of AFGE Local 1236 in San Francisco and an attorney at the EPA, told Earther. In addition to giving workers flexibility, it also helps reduce greenhouse…

Ok despite this stupid answer, based on your other posts that seem more informed, I will ask you a question because it seems to be missing form the article and what of the linked sources I got through.
