Dan Kaminsky: Is it plausible that global wars might be planned 5-10 years in advance? [poll: Yes 66,3%, No 33,7%] Natanael: Everything thinkable is getting planned for. Not always in depth, or with an expectation to act. Are you asking if these actors are planning to *initiate* such war, versus just planning the response to potential future wars, or to events they believe require initiating war? Dan Kaminsky: Question is if there's global coordination. Like, "let's push this war till 1/1/2020". Plausible? I don't have an answer exactly. Natanael: Yes and no. There's definitely international coordination across parties with similar interests. [cont.]

From the link's description; "Here’s a photo of a Christmas tree, as my camera’s sensor sees it: [Sensor data with the 14 bit ADC values mapped to 0-255 RGB. It’s not even black-and-white, it’s gray-and-gray.] This is becuase while the camera’s analog-to-digital converter (ADC) output can theoretically output values from 0 to 16382, the data doesn’t cover that whole range"

Zola In Recovery @WarriorZoltar If you ever had a "move back in with your parents" stage, you have no business judging homeless people. The only difference between you and them is you were privileged enough to have a fallback. death angel @angel_Of_deathx my view of homeless people changed forever when i learned that more than half of them were foster kids who aged out of the system and were left with no family or resources. ...

Natanael, tech custodial engineer @Natanael_L It won't even take 100k dead globally to cause severe economic damage, because that that point we will also have widespread cases of severe symptoms, a huge amount of loss of productivity, huge medical expenses, lockdowns of all kinds, etc... 4:25 em 25 feb. 2020 Natanael, tech custodial @Nata 25 feb. 2020 What I'm hoping is that the vaccine and treatment research goes well and progress fast (less than a year to a vaccine, for example), and that the spread can be contained (including via better detection). But there's a real risk it will not go that well.
Natanael, tech custodial engineer @Natanael_L Regardless of how this pandemic phase ends we will have to focus on the same thing, rebuilding a lot of society's functions, recovering the economy, etc. My biggest worry is the risk of social unrest in the middle of all this. 12:54 fm 13 mars 2020
