5 states have fewer than 10% of their ICU beds remaining. The public death rate of victims who receive treatment when necessary has virtually no relation with the reality of "number of people requiring medical care > medical care available". If those 5 states weren't doing even the minimum of vaccines/distancing/masking that they're doing today, they would be at 0% capacity, without question.

Definitely what Australia is doing is too much, but opening everything and leaving it to individual choices is an incomprehensibly bad position.

The index file is:

    "use strict";
    Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
    exports.default = null;

Here's a bit of a thought experiment for you. Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump are vaccinated. Why would they tell you not to get vaccinated?

In the U.S., as a single filer, you pay 10% on your first $9,875, 12% from $9,876 to $40,125 and 22% from $40,126 to $85,525.

It does end up at 13% of $72K, assuming the $10K standard deduction. Since only the initial percentage was posted, no one would have any way of knowing if it was coming from the total calculation or anywhere else.

Certainly with the way brackets work they're only paying 22% on anything between ~40K and 72K.

FAANG jobs are, quite frankly, an insignificant fraction of the market. The overwhelming majority of developers are like the OP.

Here's the discussion part on long sleep:

> Proposed mechanisms for mortality associated with long sleep include: (I) long sleep is linked to increased sleep fragmentation that is associated with a number of negative health outcomes; (II) long sleep is associated with feelings of fatigue and lethargy that may decrease resistance to stress and disease; (III) changes in cytokine levels associated with long sleep increase mortality risk; (IV) long sleepers experience a shorter photoperiod that could increase the risk of death in mammalian species; (V) a lack of physiological challenge with long sleep decrease longevity; (VI) underlying disease processes mediate the relationship between long sleep and mortality.

Step 1: Buy the stock with 140% short interest. -> Price goes up.

Step 2: Shorts cover (This is the "Sell" phase for retail investors). -> Price goes up.

Step 3: Shorts are finished covering (This is the "you missed it" phase for retail investors). -> Price tanks back to $15.

I personally think we're either at the end of step 1 or the beginning of step 2, because we haven't seen the volume necessary for step 3 to be possible, unless you believe without evidence that all of the shorts covered outside of the exchanges. Which would be a claim I'm not comfortable making without evidence.

Really weird that people are trying to manipulate the narrative like this.

> Now Virgin Galactic officials have decided to break off the satellite launcher program and make it its own company. Called Virgin Orbit, the California-based firm is seeking to enter a market that has attracted a lot of interest in recent years as satellites, once huge and expensive, have shrunk in size and cost.

You may notice that in this thread there isn't the usual volume of free speechers "falling over themselves" to comment. All of the boring absolute free speech comments we had to endure when violent speech was being removed from Facebook/Twitter and now they are dead silent when it involves Parler.

Kind of illustrates a politically held position and not a rationally held one.

A surprising number of people thrift / buy used clothes. Between thrift stores and consignment shops, more people shop there than Department stores (30% vs 21%).

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/stories/thrift-store-day.htm...

It's currently popular among younger people as a push against "fast fashion". People want clothes that are unique and affordable, and their only options are thrift stores or color blocks from Uniqlo.

This is the "kind of person" who buys used clothes:

Extremist views on one side do not "balance" extremist views on the other side. "Left" media is already more Centrist than Liberal/Socialist. Centrist views are already the majority held beliefs. 42% of registered voters are Independent. More Independent/nonpartisan news organizations would definitely improve the political/media landscape better than more extremist organizations.

This is the opposite of your proposed ideal.

> It should be clear to anyone but those blinded by their own ideology that having a less politically biased media would be a good thing.

You should be promoting apolitical news, not increasingly polarized news to "even it out". Moving more right or left doesn't bring anyone closer together.

Yeah, about that.

No one is asking for Apple to give up control of their store. We just want to use a different store, or none at all.

Apple doesn't allow apps that do the same thing as features they release / plan to release.

Flux became popular, Apple ripped it off, and blocked them from competing in the App Store. Just another data point for the antitrust lawsuit.

If the App Store is worth the 30% cut, let them compete for it.

I don't think it's worth the cut. I think the overwhelming majority of people download apps they already trust directly from the source (like they do on computers), and the App Store provides exactly zero value in that use case.

It's very easy to point out that nothing is perfect. It's very difficult to come up with a better solution.

Separately, moderators purge controversial content as a check/balance to the voting system. If users feel that the moderation is inconsistent with their content desires, they choose a different site to frequent, as is the case in market systems.

You obviously still have your own ability to determine what fits your model of the universe and what doesn't. These are just groups of people more likely to have access to information that you might not. You don't have to trust anyone, but in a system where someone has to judge what is true, these groups are closer than the alternative, which would be people with no qualifications, no training, and no history of telling the truth.

If you have another alternative I'm all ears.

As to the search quality decrease, that's definitely more of a reason to desire an alternative than seeing ads is.

I haven't seen an advertisement in 10+ years. I don't really understand why anyone chooses to see them when they don't have to.

And sorry if this comes off as confrontational, I just see so many people talking about advertisements and it's difficult to have to tell each individual that adblocking extensions have existed for close to 15 years [2]. I wish there was some better way to spread this information so no one would have to see ads or comment about their existence ever again. The internet is so much better without them.
