Don't make fun of this guy. This guy was you at some point. And remember, lots of people would rather continue to be fooled than admit they've been fooled, so don't give them the added incentive of mockery.

Anecdotal, but at my job we've pretty much maintained (if not gained) productivity since switching to WFH. The same is true for my wife and her office.

Indeed, that's one reason this code is shit -- the way they re-order one of their internal lists during execution is non-deterministic (ie probably skull fucked by the os thread scheduling). Nevertheless, assuming an acceptably-random value is generated whenever your rand() function is called, it's worth pointing out that the whole point of a Monte Carlo simulation is to show that a model converges on an answer or a pattern of answers, regardless of what random values are used from pass to pass. In this case, the failure to maintain determinism is more of a bug than it is an inherent design flaw, and ultimately has no bearing on the accuracy of the answer.

I'm not defending this shit-tastic code or its equally shit-tastic fake prediction. But you should know there's a thing called a Monte Carlo simulation. The simple description of it is to set up a simulation with (sensibly) randomized inputs and then to run the simulation a million times, and once you've got the results, look to see if they converge on an answer or have an otherwise identifiable pattern.

Selfish? For keeping my hands clean? This is stupid. I'm "spreading" germs from the environment I'm in TO the environment I'm in. That's way more sanitary than a bare handed person unthinkingly scratching their face and then touching stuff, which doesn't happen when you use gloves. Sheesh.

You're describing the wrong way to use gloves and then claiming that gloves don't work. Wtf. Gloves do one thing -- stop things from getting on your hands. And it works 100%. It's up to you beyond that to stop that glove from touching other things you don't want it to touch, like your face, phone, etc. An easy way to do that is to have a glove on your left hand that you use to interact with the world and then keep your right hand bare to interact with yourself and your effects.

Gloves aren't to prevent the wearer from spreading disease -- they are to stop the wearer from getting infected by others. And they accomplish that task extremely well.

Surgical masks aren't to stop the wearer from getting infected by others -- they are to prevent the wearer from spreading disease. Unfortunately, they only work against respiratory droplets, not versus aerosols.

Understood. I'm suggesting we give people an income tax deduction based on the amount of money they have in savings, up to $10k. The idea is to encourage people to save their money by offering tax breaks for people who do.

I mean, sure, but that's another problem entirely. It would be in America's best interests if the middle class by and large had enough savings to last them a few months thru a period of reduced income or economic hardship. Case in point, the shit we're going through right now.

DeathBattleFan123 1 point ago +1 / -0

I was being unclear. My suggestion was to take the $10k and deduct it from your income taxes.

You could do something like use the median balance of your largest savings account over the last 12 months.

Is that the "jogging hammer" meme? Shit, I missed that one too. Can you help me out on that one?

He disagreed with Kemp's decision to open places like spas and tattoo parlors seven days earlier than the nationally-prescribed timeline, but he didn't disagree enough to condemn the reopening or to take action against him -- in fact, in that same public statement Trump again reminds the country that he's leaving it up to the governors to decide what is best for their states. Trump has been completely consistent.

Trump's message has been consistent and clear: re-open your states as quickly and as safely as you can according to the conditions on the ground. He's (wisely and correctly) left that decision in the hands of the governors. In this case, he's telling this governor that she is wrong and should negotiate.

If you're standing where Biden is and you want to "help" hold that baby in a photogenic forward-leaning handshake-like gesture, it would be a trivial thing to grab the kid's leg and hold him up like that instead of scooping down into his crotch like a weirdo. The only time you grab a baby by the crotch like this is if he is falling and your only other option is letting him drop on his head.

Nobody needs to be able to say what they want to say and associate with the people of their choice without fear of punishment. Nobody needs to be able to choose a religion (or a lack thereof) without being forced by the state to worship a specific way. Nobody needs to vote. Nobody needs to own land. Nobody needs to be able to peacefully protest against those in power. Nobody needs to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, nor does anyone need to be tried by a jury of their peers.

People lived without any of those rights being acknowledged by their governments for thousands of years, after all.

The basis for your rights isn't necessity, utility, or practicality. A person can live a long life without having any rights whatsoever. When someone asks why you need a gun, the most correct answer is "All of my rights are necessary."
