And now this post causes Bean to crash. This happened just now - I opened the post, Bean crashed, then an update arrived, then Bean crashed again on the same post: Each crash was freezing for 20+ seconds, then disappearing.
“Don’t judge me I know that frequently they represent almost the same softwares…”
What I hate about this story (other than the obvious inhumanity) is that it has a feeling of “these were bad apples”. No, these were normal apples. Maybe a little more brutal than some other apples, but under the full protection of the apple union and their department.
Until the story came out and the apple department had to expose them. But then it took months.
The thing to remember with these examples is that those companies would have royally fucked up their purchases. Big companies always impose a culture and a mindset.
AT&T would definately have crushed the internet with a monopoly - we would have had to use AT&T approved internet devices, and they would have brought long distance type charges to it. Oh so your email is going overseas? That’s an extra 10c.
Same with Google and Netflix. They were all able to continue with the founders vision and create something special.
“Let’s drive over a rickety bridge…” was the title. App hung for about 30s, then crashed.
Completely random. And then I’m back at the top on restart so I have no idea where it was. I’ll try to remember the post next time it happens.
I gotta take my hat off to the GOP here. While both parties have gerrymandered, the GOP have taken it to the extreme. They will lock in their ruling majority (despite losing at the polls) in every state where they control the Supreme Court and legislature. They will become unassailable in those states.
They know they have to do this - they are (or will be) in the minority.
The Supreme Court did the USA a disservice because they could have tempered the worst excesses of the various states. But they have declared themselves hands off - let the states decide.
Sigh.
Its getting there, and there is some entertaining content on here (comments and posts). But I think we are still missing the super high end responses. No matter what the topic, one or two people would jump on and have deep specialised knowledge of the field - be it naming an insect from a blurry image or commenting on a geopolitical situation. I still see lots of posts that generate nothing more than “huh” or “wow” type comments.
When that starts appearing more broadly, I think the quality here is going to take another leap.
Closed. Otherwise dog sneaks in, climbs up on the bed and falls asleep. The he slowly but surely takes over the whole bed.
Yeah. I didn’t realise initially, and wrote a response to a post on there, with multiple links to research (real research, by real scientists). Response was banning for misinformation. Kinda proud to be banned from that cesspool.
The evidence is pretty clear that the vaccine significantly reduced the incidence, and the severity, hospitalisation and death of the illness.
So first - obviously if the incidence of the virus drops, then transmission will drop (you don’t get it you can’t spread it).
One study in England in 2021 found that a single dose of a vaccine reduced the likelihood of household transmission by 40-50%. Link. Another study which was undertaken during Delta’s reign showed minimal impact (link)
There haven’t been a great deal of study on the Omicron variant yet.
Bottom line - the vaccine is hugely worth it. Some variants are better at transmission even when you are vaccinated.
Looks like another nothingburger to me. He says:
According to the GAO - It also turns out that the NIH did fund virus research in that lab (or at least in Wuhan U), and they did not effectively monitor it. Note - its a big lab and likely had other work going on.
I feel for Fauci - there was conflicting research about whether the mutations were natural (supported by some scientists) vs artificial (supported by other scientists), and he was being forced to make a call. As the leaked doc states, he was trying to bring together more scientists to find a more definitive answer.
Let me clarify that a bit. It seems that any scrolling more than about a page causes a crash.
After about 1-1.5 pages, the app will crash.
BTW - can we get a different icon for Top/6 hours and Top/12 hours etc.
