As if you didn't know my point...

Their credibility is damaged enough to be sceptical about this report (which is not even medical research).

And here is another example:

They published (and retracted) a key study that linked anti-malarial drug HCQ to increased risk of death and irregularity in heart rhythms in coronavirus patients.

Lancet is the same journal which published Andrew Wakefield's bs claim that vaccines cause autism.

I can't really think of any other valid reasons.

My place is vacant 100km away while I look after my bed-ridden demented Mum. Unpaid.

My "vacancy tax" is the $1000 of stuff stolen by thieves who broke in.

He really said goodest? Or is that transcript satire? Too much sarcastic cleverness in this thread for me to follow.

If they are the only two options then it isn't practical. Wouldn't six characters be enough? One in 56,800,235,584 chance of guessing and brute force attacks could be avoided with a limit of 3 tries per hour.

EDIT: Or I could just content myself with the first 6 characters matching. I suppose there is my solution.

The only other European country which has FPTP voting is Belarus.

Canada has it too and Trudeau reneged on his promise to ditch it.

Definitely a UI issue because it is not clear what the user is supposed to do according to the UI.

Should I be sitting physically next to the person to confirm? Read out the gazillion character code to them over a regular phone call?

Thanks.

Thanks. Google Analytics doesn't work that way though does it?

Really? You expected Trump to base his speech on facts?

That should have been expected from Trump. Biden should have memorized statistics to counter the predictable bullshit.

Not that memorizing stuff is important for the job but it would have been effective in the debate for viewers who just won't fact check anything.

there was so much jumping around and avoiding questions that it was not very helpful.

Trump did this, but where did Biden do it?

they can in turn use it as a point when luring advertisers.

Wouldn't that be shared only with potential advertisers upon request via a password rather than just making it publicly available?

I am only speculating, are you?

RadioLab covered the dawning of the (serendipitous) discovery a few years ago called: "bringing back gamma".

That does not answer my question.

No I don't trust their methodology. In fact I am suspicious the numbers are entirely fictitious. I imagine they are highly guarded confidential information which is not public.

And where does he get the traffic data from?

The websites would be guarding that and Google Analytics (if installed/enabled) would not divulge it to a third party.

Symmetrical transparency.

It was Edward Snowden who said that "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

Nikki Haley voting for Trump after he called her a birdbrain proves his point.
