Sigh. I mean are people really this unaware of the decades long efforts by oil companies to cover up the truth of what was going on?

I'll act in good faith and believe they are.

One quick summary by the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-53640382

Choice quotes from above: "... I created a model that showed the Earth would be warming very significantly. And the warming would introduce climatic changes that would be unprecedented in human history. That blew my mind.

They (the oil execs) were saying things that were contradicting their own world-class research groups..."

An in depth look in podcast format.

Season Summaries: Season 1: The Origins of Climate Denial traced the corporate-funded creation and spread of climate denial, including interviews with former Exxon scientists, primary source documents, and an in-depth look at the history of fossil fuel-funded influence campaigns.

Season 2: Hot Water follows a group of West Coast crab fisherman who are experiencing first-hand the devastating impacts of climate change. And this unlikely group of climate activists just became the first industry to sue big oil.

Season 3: The Mad Men of Climate Denial digs into the history of fossil fuel propaganda and the few “Mad Men of climate denial” who shaped it.

Season 4: There Will Be Fraud follows the fossil fuel industry’s efforts to use the COVID-19 pandemic to push through its wishlist of deregulation and subsidies.

Season 5: La Lucha En La Jungla looks at the decades-long battle between indigenous groups in the Ecuadorian Amazon and Chevron.

Season 6: The Bridge to Nowhere: A season in three parts about the past, present, and future of the natural gas industry.

Poster said "death rate" not number of deaths.

That is exactly why I included the first link in my reply above which makes that distinction.

The headline: "Limited coronavirus testing in the US has meant its death rate appears alarmingly high — but it will likely drop"

Ummm?

I will offer this: https://www.businessinsider.com/us-worlds-highest-coronaviru...

And this that shows we are currently sitting at 6%: https://covidusa.net/

Even if testing ramps up seems hard to imagine a world where this drops by a factor of 10.

So what are you talking about?

I was with Atom for years, switched to VS Code and feel in love (save for the find and replace as cited above, I still felt/feel Atom's is better than VS Code's) and stuck with it (VS Code) for months.

The thing that made me switch back was that there was some combination of plugins I was using in VS Code (I think it was the VIM plugin and something else maybe) started freezing periodically and the whole editor would become unresponsive and I'd have to restart. After that became normal I decided to switch back.

In the end I preferred to spend my time coding rather than hunt down the problem.

Also Atom's VIM plugin is strictly better for my use case. The highlighting effect to show you what you just `yw` for example is great!

Second on Chattanooga. I help run a weekly lunchtime talk series. We've been having pretty good turn outs. For our size we have a very active community. Anywhere from 50 to 80 software professionals have been showing up every week.

OpenTable has offices here. There are a few startups and a decent number of consultancies.

Come visit!

Yes my brain is totally warped. That said I do really like it.

Is the cat supposed to shoot lasers? Feels like it should but does not for me. Hitting the mouse and space, as well as other keys, doesn't do anything.

You'd think with this kind of wait someone would have thought to prepare more than 3 minutes of music.
