> And he certainly would have blamed the Afghans for their own plight; this again is what Trump did in 2019, saying that our Syrian Kurdish allies didn't deserve our help because they didn't help us on D-Day in World War Two, whatever that means. Beyond idiotic.

Biden essentially blamed them too during his recent White House speech

I believe Jonathan Mayer (one of the authors) is a user/commenter here on HackerNews

I get that, but I’m still not convinced. Running deficits is fine, but you can’t do it in perpetuity. When do you suggest we stop?

Your arguments against the balanced budget don’t convince me. Have you looked at the federal, state, and local debts lately? It is mind boggling

Thanks for clarifying. I was confused

This is alleged “with evidence”. I understand you want more evidence. It’s alleged and now others can try to simulate.

For what it’s worth, I was able to simulate prices ranges of $50-130 for the same ride with a few friends when we were all standing next to each other. Any new phone shows a low price first, if you search again the price goes up nearly 50%.

So simulating the evidence here might be hard based on other algorithms Uber uses

Thank you for the insight

Right. I should clarify that I meant for eating & drinking (survival), not necessarily showering or gardening

With the water shortages around the world, can residential rain barrels provide a sufficient alternative? Is there a study for the number of barrels per person per climate?

The classroom setting is something I might use this for (ship it to my colleagues) but the identity & access mess is a dealbreaker. Requires two different identities, and one of them is Facebook? No enterprise federation?

> Using Workrooms requires a Workrooms account, which is separate from your Oculus or Facebook accounts, although your Oculus username may be visible to other users in some cases……And to experience Workrooms in VR, you’ll need to access the app on Quest 2, which requires a Facebook login.

No it wouldn’t have, but OP also said nothing about that

Tangent: have the MtGox lawsuits finished? It seemed the main personas are bound to secrecy until they conclude, but that there is a lot of incorrect speculation on what happened in the collapse

I’ve been told that in some states, wildlife and marine ranger have more authority than other law enforcement. Not sure if that’s apples & apples or apples & ooranges though

That’s a significant change from when they IPOd. Was this disclosed to their shareholders a few months ago?

Apple has been using some dark patterns to force people to use iCloud. Telling them they haven’t finished setting up their phone. It notifies you until you sign up for the free tier, and then when that’s filled up it pesters you again

I’ve heard of nuclear bomb propulsion before but I had no idea that 30 million hydrogen bombs we’re proposed. That’s insane!

> because when there was more money (and there was at one time) it was enough to tempt a non-trivia

My recollection is the opposite. I picked a random web archive day 12+ years ago and confirmed it was a laughably small sum:

> We usually invest $5000 + $5000n, where n is the number of participating founders (i.e. 2 founders get $15,000, 3 get $20,000), in return for between 2% and 10% of the company. The median is 6%.

This really is something Tim needs to address before he again stands on stage and give lip service to Privacy with a capital P.

We also need hardball journalists to start asking Tim these tough questions instead of fawning over AirPods

And we need employees to start demanding this internally

Derivatives industry means one thing though, and doesn’t mean the mathematics industry. It’s not ambiguous either

How common are false positives? I had multiple different tests from different locations. Slow and fast tests. My tests were not early on either.

I’d rather trust that than my neighbor’s paper vaccine card which can be easily faked

> He didn't know anything was happening at the time but ended up losing a couple limbs.

Surely that would have been reported by the university (PR, damage control) and in the news? Can you confirm?

I have proof of infection from several tests. I’m starting to wonder why I can just use that instead of vaccine evidence?

Everything in the article leads me to believe this only threatens the “cryptocurrency” industry, but I don’t have the actual text to the amendment. Is anything threatening “crypto” itself?

Perhaps the PoW profiteers are lobbying against PoS?

> while vaccines protect the population in general by stopping the spread of Covid.

This is common misconception about the COVID-19 vaccines and about several other vaccines. They don’t necessarily stop infection/transmission, but reduce the symptoms and prevent you from ending up in the ER.

Those who downvoted can find this basic information on CDC, WebMD, JH, BMJ, etc

Is this transition happening for their home battery products too?

> Call it progressive authoritarianism.

That’s a terrible term. Bloomberg already has a bad history of journalism, but appreciating Authoritarianism is a new low

Article mentions they discovered this by following known ISIS accounts on Facebook. Which is ironic that there are “known” accounts on Facebook that aren’t being deleted

It says in the article this is mostly due to headcount and compensation. That’s a recurring expense and not a TPU that can be sold

According to the article, the ones they built don’t meet federal safety standards. This is probably why it seems easy.
