I actually like this spelling. The sounds that have exact equivalents use the Latin alphabet and those that do not are replaced by the character's native system. Cause his name is not Pyotr or Peter or Pierre or whatever else. It is Pëtr indeed.
well, maybe, just maybe, that's because the socio-economic status correlates positively with cognitive abilities and the kids somehow inherit the traits of their parents?
Nonsense. Education is not about taking a course or reading bunch of books. The big part of education is being able to directly ask a knowledgeable person once you're stuck. You can ask the community of course but the quality of community answers is more than often just trash.
ehmmm... From the recent Bloomberg article I read the Russia claims ~6K dead and some unspecified western experts estimate it rather ~15K. Now USA lost ~60K in Vietnam. Sorry, that is not "as many or more". Nowhere near.
> Humans can have a beneficial impact on the environment too
They can but they (mostly) do not. And the best way to have a beneficial impact on environment in the current situation would be "simply" to reduce its numbers. Unfortunately that's not so easy.
If you compare the number of serious cases to the number of total cases for different countries you'll get a 10x difference. Norway tests more thoroughly then the other countries, so it has a huge number of active cases. But from those only ~2% serious. There may be different reasons for such a discrepancy but I tend to agree with your conclusion that we have a lot of asymptomatic cases around, higher then estimated R0 and lower then estimated fatality.
Not completely true. VSCode is not so bad in general, and for an electron app it is actually great. I also kinda like their wireless sculpt desktop (keyboard+mouse). But the rest is garbage indeed.
And so does the Bridgewater to the best of my knowledge. This could mean those guys are hedging too much against the next bubble burst and expect it to come rather sooner then later.
