Small documentary about the man over here: https://faircompanies.com/videos/went-homeless-done-guerrill... …

Not sure if the hobo really is vanishing, maybe they just changed their ways and patterns? Being simply less visible because of that? This man here for example, living sustainably and very creatively …

There are alternatives these days: https://github.com/pico-8/awesome-PICO-8#clones I would just add that $14.99 is still a very fair price and it enables the developer (lexaloffl…

It's a great and influential project none the less and costs as much as a cheap book ($14.99 IIRC). I'm all for homebrew dev on classic consoles (Mega Drive being my favourite also) yet thes…

Thanks - I arrived at the posted link via this great Ocean Science Radio episode over here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28205832 …

Ship strikes have been increasing over the years now as our ever-growing global economy depends on maritime transport. The scientists are working on good solutions but it might be too late, too many s…

It’s on Reuters and many other news outlets. The press are still doing their job for the moment at least.

This is way bigger than any RF engineering mishap. I’m going to actively evangelize alternatives to Apple devices and that’s coming from someone who has been doing Apple evangelizing since OSX Panther…

Yes I very much agree, it would be important to know more about the origins. Still the fact is that March was the time it really went “viral” with all the excess mortality and widespread health impact…

Also for latest information, lots of interesting questions in current TWiV Q&A surrounding this topic as well: https://youtu.be/_MvRUtbUEqU …

Your point being what exactly? Apart from more severe outcomes for babies than what we thought there are children that increasingly have to be treated for pneumonia at hospitals. Also long covid is on…

Unfortunately there is increasingly more data that shows that SARS-CoV-2 is not benign in children. For example this rather early analysis from 2020 included more than 2,000 children who got infected.…

Not true for very young children though, we can only protect them by proxy (us/others wearing masks plus social distancing).

I thought we were still talking about the beginning of the pandemic? South Korea did fend off the virus through contact tracing, mask mandates and lockdowns early on. Unfortunately most other countrie…

What about South Korea? Mask mandates? In addition to lockdowns. I mean it’s multiple things that politicians and officials had to get right of course. Unfortunately >90% really failed us on that p…

I remember listening to the virologists at TWiV in February 2020 talking about reports coming out of China (superspreading events, etc) and all of them pretty much were betting on the virus being airb…

I agree especially in dense places like Europe (thinking of Italy outbreak) early border shutdown for non essential travelling would have helped in addition down the line. I’m not sure boat travel is …

Fewer cases means tracking them is still feasible. Exponential growth can only happen after officials are overwhelmed with cases. Shutting down air travel probably would have relieved pressure enough …

We probably would have been able to contain the wider spread of this virus had politicians shut down all non necessary air travel immediately after WHO/China officially declared a potential pande…

Nice. Which flavour are we talking here?

In addition glyphosate (roundup) has been around since the early 1970s and is omnipresent in our food chain. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=7%2C39&q=gly... …
