Is it different in Hawaii and California and East Coast? I am a long way from any of those places.

Yep. How I caught ring worm Cats are filthy creatures

Well some people need to be told. In. Simple. Ideas.

"* If you have an absurd amount of money, you don't need to worry about going bankrupt from getting sick." Or you live in a country with a socialised medical system.

"Don't assume any debt that relies on increasing future earnings to be comfortable." There is some good advice, for everybody!

THat will be your search bubble. You clearly prefer Stilton or Chedder to Emmental cheese

There is a problem. Ten years is not long term. In the long term we are all dead. So we have to want to do these things for people who are not born yet and who will never pay us or pay us back or be…

There are other options. This is a place where the state has the opportunity to justify its existence

Perhaps it would be a good idea to read the article before commenting like that. Near the end it has this gem: "...Yale Law School professor emeritus Peter Schuck, the author of Agent Orange on T…

Being a island nation?

Ha ha. From scratch I think. My aptitude is no use with pacman

It is not all of the west. Here in Aotearoa things are not going too badly. The state institutions seem to have functioned well and people cooperating. I fear it is a fluke, but whatever, I'd ra…

Do not upgrade. Switch. A lot of Ubuntu software is now (Version 19.xx) only available with "snaps". They make some sense for IoT machinery (the user does not control updates, so they are de…

Help me out. I am naive about neural networks. I have skimmed the paper, read the abstract and he conclusion and looked at the examples. Does this not illustrate what is the fatal flaw in image recog…

I do not understand why any body would think that Bloomberg could do political stories in China. I do not understand why Bloomberg would be embarrassed about spiking political stories in China. I am …

"you discover that there's whole new syntaxes you never saw before" That is the problem I have too.

I feel your pain. People are mossing the point, and instead of seeing that learning a moving target is a PITA they are "helping" you with solutions to your problems... I love Rust. I hope t…

Reading code matters too. Languages are not just written

It would make sense if Rust 2.0 was smaller and less capable. Every improvement added to rust makes it worse for me

I do not understand. Have never understood. "Data Science" is, surly, newspeak. The appropriate term, surly, is "statistics".

They did not own the buildings. Real estate in big cities is (generally speaking) quite a closed shop. They had leases.

No it had not. I am a long way away but from what I can ell from he news I follow it has a good core business. It was run by a crook, who still has his hooks in, but the real estate business was soun…

On desktop (laptop truly) here

Sarcasm does not really work on the Internet. See what I mean?

They flew to the moon. They built a horrifying arsenal. I really do not see why they cannot build a health system. They have done so here.

Government is not congress, or a president. It is civil servants beavering away.

The USA has the worst government that money can buy

I completely disagree. If the government had done it in house they could have succeeded. The problem here was the profit motive. Cheep ventilators endanger profits. It is a side effect of free markets…
