osobo··on European mortality monitoring shows increase in excess mortality
These analysis are based on data provided by the countries. While they all may provide mortality as a number at some point, some may not already do so in the interval needed to draw accurate comparisons over the last two months. For example: I find the difference between England/Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland to be strange. I'd expect these to be closer together.
osobo··on No, I Won't Link to Your Spammy Article
No, I won't read this low effort blog post.
osobo··on Face masks from China intended for France 'hijacked' by US at the last minute
Such an American thing to do. Joke's on them though: These Chinese masks are often defective.
osobo··on Twitter removes two Bolsonaro tweets questioning virus quarantine
If they delete tweets like that, Twitter gets shit for censoring foreign officials. If they don't delete tweets like that, they get shit for not intervening when the public is obviously put in harm's way. I think they chose the lesser of the two evils. Now, on to censor that umpalumpa you call president.
osobo··on Ask HN: What are some interesting projects to reuse your old devices?
shadow.tech lets me run a Windows 10 gaming spec desktop on all my old devices.
osobo··on Rolls-Royce plans mini nuclear reactors by 2029
The point is that every mistake propagated over 10 reactors has to be fixed 10 times. If you have a single reactor, you just fix it once.
osobo··on Will alleged CIA misbehavior set Julian Assange free?
Betteridge's law of headlines applies: The answer is probably 'no'.
osobo··on Keyboard with Trackpad for iPad Pro
It's nice. It's also kind of blatant advertising. Is that going to be a thing here?
osobo··on OnePlus Hit by Data Breach
GDPR is slowly having this effect in Europe.
osobo··on Thousands flock to Wikipedia founder's 'Facebook rival'
But I'd like to sample or at least see the bloody service before I pay for it. Right now I'm hitting a paywall telling me I'm x0.000 in line and "Oh, we want your money". I'm not triggered to commit.
osobo··on Plants “panic” when it rains

osobo··on Fight Club at 20: the prescience and power of David Fincher's drama
So, this article is 75% recap of the movie and then a handful of conclusions that prove the writer completely missed the point of the story. I'm not impressed.
osobo··on China's hard power and hurt feelings – Nikkei Asian Review
For quite some time, popular media has been the West's strongest weapon, influencing people the world over with (mostly) American ideals through Hollywood and -later- Internet. Recently, this powerful machine has been turned against its makers, with Russia pouncing on click-bait happy news sites and social media, and China buying their influence in main stream media. But free media has become such a big part of Western identity, I wonder if there is an easy way out of this. Expecting the large corporations involved to police/defend themselves is definitely not the answer.
osobo··on Ageing in human cells successfully reversed in the lab (2018)
If watching the Boomer generation has taught me one thing, it's that people do not necessarily grow milder and wiser with age. I think it would be catastrophic if society gets locked down in its current model because people simply will not vacate their place (in work, in housing, in use of resources) by dying.
osobo··on Facebook Horizon
Man, such hate in this thread. I, for one, am glad that someone is throwing serious money at consolidating VR experiences into a single world. I love what Rec Room has done there and I would certainly enjoy a new iteration. If it's too invasive or no fun, I'll delete it after trying. For now, I'm glad we're still moving forward in the VR space instead of it going the way of 3DTV.
osobo··on Toyota is trying to put solar panels on a Prius to charge battery during the day
Unless you park in a garage, which a lot of people do.
osobo··on Building ages in the Netherlands
It's got my house dated incorrectly. Looks fancy though.
