Free your mind! Vive la CLODO!

Eh, my bad!

I used their "Global Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)" value, page 9 of the pdf.

If you're at risk of a bad time with Covid, get vaccinated. Simples.

>As for the sin of being fat that you find so unforgivable

Simple cause and effect. The study you linked said so - if you're obese, you're much more likely to go to the ICU with Covid. It is strange that all of the public messaging designed to "keep us safe" did not include any component to look after our bodies, which would have significant benefits when it comes to fighting disease.

Training - eh, maybe. I ditched my Garmin and Strava, and have never been happier with my cycling. Some people seem to like the Zwift thing though.

"Ease of communication" - I now consider that a downside. I don't want to be distracted by the possibility of getting a notification at any second, with information of any level of severity.

"Develop profitable businesses" - yes, there is a lot of money to be made selling people shiny things.

>And I could link up a dozen similar studies and reports that all say the same thing: the risks from vaccination are low, the risks from Covid are an order of magnitude greater.

Without absolute numbers, your "analysis" is meaningless. We're talking about seven deaths amongst teens.

>The study noted that about three-fourths of the teenagers in the study had other medical conditions, such as obesity

Not being fat is an excellent way to avoid having a bad time with Covid. Shame that the official advice caused many people to spend the last two years sitting on the couch, eating pizza.

It is undeniable that the vaccine kept the most vulnerable out of the ICU. It is also very true that healthy people under about 45 were at minimal risk from Covid.

>Snap at $10

When was that true? Snap currently makes about $3 per user. You can't be talking about US users, because there are only 330 million people in the US.

A culture shift, yes.

Back to the idea that public servants are indeed servants to the public, and their entire purpose is to spend the public's money in a way that benefits the public.

> VS code at Google

MS have done a fantastic job of getting developers everywhere hooked on VS Code, whether they are writing for the Windows ecosystem or not.

Some counterarguments:

1. Electronic devices have varying degrees of embodied energy and resource usage - it is incumbent on the end user to justify that usage

2. Electronic devices are designed as attention-sucking devices for selling advertising, and as such, have more negative uses than positive, which makes controlling them as an end user more difficult.

I subscribe to the EV conspiracy theory that a major part of the planned CO2 reductions will be because getting anywhere by car will be much harder.

"Best practices", like mass vaccination of a group of people for whom the vaccine may have been more risky than the disease?

That much was obvious as soon as it was determined that this new virus was a respiratory coronavirus.

We always were at war with eastasia.

If you get the vaccine, then you definitely get the vaccine.
