I wonder why anyone would pay that much for a piece of paper. It looks like people are so insecure about their country that they are trying to buy what they see as the ultimate proof of its existence (spoiler alert: a printout of a country's constitution - regardless of how much it was paid for - does not prevent the downfall of said country).

Exactly. Airborne transmission != droplets transmission.

Why was this modded down? It is actually a fair point, even if I tend to agree that geoblocking is a bad thing.

AFAIK there is no evidence that hypothermia contributes to the spread of upper respiratory tract infections. Besides, "feeling cold" does not equate to hypothermia, which is a diminution of the body core temperature (i.e. not the temperature of the skin, mouth or nostrils, but of the abdomen and organs).
Cold, dry air does make mucous membranes more sensitive to infections, though, which is probably one of the factors behind seasonality of URTIs.

What do you mean by "strict temperature based clothing guidelines"? Please realize that temperature does not make you sick, only microbes do. When you "catch a cold", the "cold" part has little to do with it. It means that you were in contact with a sick person and you caught their microbes (a virus in the case of a common cold).

Under the WHO terminology, "airborne" transmission means that the pathogenic agent (SARS-Cov-2 in the case of Covid-19) can travel for a relatively long period of time in the air (minutes possibly hours) and infect someone this way. Most common cold viruses and the influenza virus are transmitted via droplets only, meaning larger particles that land within 1 meter from the source and that don't stay airborne for more than a few seconds.

I believe it was already shown that SARS-Cov-2 can stay airborne for several hours, but there is no evidence that enough of them do to infect someone.

Spamgourmet has existed for quite some time, and does the same thing.

The probability of failure is given per flight hour. The article is inaccurate regarding this value. See https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

There is a Google Maps Go app, which is supposed to be lighter than the regular Google Maps. I have never tried it, though.

Not to mention that USB 1.1, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are not equivalent to a specific speed. Rather, USB 1.1 specifies low speed (1.5Mbit/s) and full speed (12Mbit/s), USB 2.0 adds high speed (480Mbit/s), and USB 3.0 adds superspeed (5.0Gbit/s). But you can very well have e.g. a USB 2.0-compliant device that works only at full speed.

It was more likely a 1,000 note, as 10,000 ones do not exist (and never have).

Small correction: CHF 500 banknotes do not exist. There are CHF 100, 200 and 1000 notes. 100s are very common, 200s not so much and 1000s quite common in certain transactions (e.g. when you buy a used car from a private person, or older people doing cash only and who get their full salary or pension in cash from their bank account at the beginning of the month).

Actually, 1V can never kill you, because the resistance of your body will always be too high to allow a current strong enough to kill you. Electrical safety standards usually fix the danger limit at 50V, which is the lowest voltage that could potentially kill you in some circumstances.

True, but then you are limited to charging at 100 mA (or 500 if you cheat the USB spec), as higher currents require data pins so that the device can detect how much it can draw.

Shouldn't that be:
"also, fuck you, developers, developers, developers" ?
