Usually people charge them during showers. It charges quite quickly. The watch part is additional as funny as it sounds.

I would love to see the "data" for incredible low risk? BTW low risk of hospitalization or long covid and brain fogs?

Yet you will have a period of time where the person that waits for second dose would have an increased risk compared to normally schedule one.

How come there are phase 3 results of Moderna?

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2035389

Well, I think everyone have had an opportunity to check results of phase three trials since last October or September?

> tere is no reason to think a closed ecosystem is more secure than an open one

Fragmentation of Android is a thing.

> If your car is unsafe, you could kill someone. If you sideload an app on your phone, that only affects you.

If there is no authority / safety-check over the apps, potentially thousands could lost millions from new wave of scams. Some sort of oversight has to be in place for devices with that much personal data. In the worst case scenario, Apple could get sued for that.

I think this thread should get Dang'ed.

Or states demanding yearly inspections if your car is up to safety standard and your modification didn't make it more dangerous / unlhealthy for the public. Absolutely ridiculous.

> It's NOT primarily or even remotely Global Warming however.

That's for sure an opinion I would love to have more information on.

> it blows the iphone 11 out of the water in camera, speed, responsiveness

I have not seen iphone being outclassed by another phone.

They were first social media to respond to January insurrection. The key word is fewer, not zero.

> Yet here we still are.

By we, you are talking middle to upper income countries not the poor countries in Africa and especially no the islands states in the Pacific. Or maybe you are not one of the relatives of the poor souls were lost in 50C heatwave in Canada last week.

If those do not apply to you, sure we are here. Just add, at the moment.

> statistical good dictator

There were many more dictators / kings / leaders than proper democracies. Even they are often diluted into autocracy. There might more examples but percentage wise democracies are winning in the long term.

Wouldn't 16 hours break classify as fasting?

This is normal 16-8 IF with additional rigidity of schedule.

Why are you assuming all the CS candidates are not passionate about the degree. It doesn't make sense. Many are deeply passionate about CS and will learn on their own. This is compounded by the theory in uni and learning opportunities.

> high IQ is needed to at least be sufficiently proficient in coding,

Should I even bother on what's the source of this claim?

I disagree. There are quite a few interesting movies out there. From 2019 alone: Uncut gems, Marriage Story, the Irishman, Us, 1917, Jojo Rabbit and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. All of those are good movies depending on the preference. In fact, they are innovative and creative. The main problem with judging now vs past, is the survivorship bias of the good movies, the bad ones are forgotten and lost.

Two of those are netflix movies - Irishman and Marriage Story, I don't see them any more synthetic than 1980's RAMBO 2-5? or God Father 2,3 etc. Movies were always based on the popularity, the difference being the better data.

> bad comic adaptations, getting their rating from wide fan base

The amount of haters and lovers might not offset each other perfectly, yet it should not matter after the hype dwindles. Besides, the top rated comic books adaptations are quite good - Joker?

> Hollywood is in decline, if you'll notice, good movies are harder to come by nowadays.

Are you sure about that? It sounds like a deeply biased statement.

Such a lazy "article". How many audits have Open Technology Fund bankrolled? Are all those companies "Linked to Government". Seriously, it reads like someone who found that RFA started OTF and wants to ride the "Signal = bad" wave. Literally, zero value.

Find my iphone?

I mean, WW2 still counts, right?

"let countries manage their own affairs instead of continually attempting to be World Police and stirring up conflict"

What about Cambodia or Rwanada? Those were internal conflicts as far as your definition goes? Was it alright or not? Where is the line?

"just live in peace with the other peoples" - Does this apply to people living in China?

"mass manufacturing of N95 masks"

How? The shortage in March was one of the reasons why they did not recommend masks. Besides, the point made was tailored toward the negative attitude towards science in emarging crisis scenario - "The “science” [..] rarely resembles the centuries-old process of making informed guesses, testing hypotheses"

Did we have any superior alternatives?

"The “science” that politicians have claimed to follow rarely resembles the centuries-old process of making informed guesses, testing hypotheses, assembling data, and asking new questions in an effort to teeter toward the truth. It is rather a void at the center of technocratic politics into which leaders cast their responsibility."

What would author suggest in March last year? What would be a better option?

"obvious lie" it is not that obvious and quite complex situation all in all.

Actually, there are few accents in London. "Posh" is the one for the richest / royals, RP used to be / is the middle class accent [1].

Actually, inflation is not as simple as you have described it. There is a great NPR's Planet Money episode touching the waters of why the inflation does not behave as we think it is [1].

"has enough domestic resources and sufficient food security to operate on a self-sustaining war economy, forever."

Any sources?
