Hiring one good programmer is much cheaper than hiring 100 mediocre programmers

This is a little bit of hyperbole. But, I fundamentally understand your point. I fire 8 out of 10 programmers I hire.

If you are short on monetary capital and long on human capital, then you have to intelligently organize the usage of your resources by having run-of-the-mill workers do the bulk of run-of-the-mill work and gifted people do the more minor amount of important technical work. You are expending your extra human capital to manage and organize this type of circus in the place of not having adequate financial capital.

This is why major corporations routinely outsource. They're in it for the money and have already done the math. Outsourcing is ultimately more profitable than not. It doesn't make it "right", it just is as it is. An average worker does not equal incompetent. You have to match the worker to the work. There are numerous variables that affect this and is not a one size fits all solution.

Yet, if platforms like Bitchute can manage to intelligently bring a product to market without unlimited funding and eventually start becoming successful, it's not because they were dumb, worthless, scum morons as you often "imply" even if most their code was written by Indians.

There's some interesting psychological dynamics with you evidenced here that is a sub-text to your frequent "scum" descriptors. But, perhaps that's a conversation for another day.

Velocity · 2022-04-10T02:07:54+00:00

I'd have to respectfully disagree. Being pragmatic is certainly a sign of intelligence and organizational ingenuity. If an alternative project is unable to secure unlimited funds from a VC firm like many mainstream projects do to make a "perfect product", then the developers are faced with either not creating the product or to instead cut costs by outsourcing. Thereby this will at least make for a "workable" product in the end. This "workable" product can then be used to create a source of income that will be able to provide for eventually refining the service using better workers.

Velocity · 2022-04-10T00:53:33+00:00

It is a leap of logic to assume that people coding platforms that may host right leaning content like Bitchute and Odysee are Western "Rightists". Anyone can post whatever ideology they want on these sites. From having experience in the coding space, I can with certainty tell you that it is very common for projects like the aforementioned ones to outsource the bulk of their coding to India, Philippines et cetera to save on cost.

There is zero scientific evidence that wearing a mask, especially for more extended periods, protects us. However, several studies found significant problems with wearing one. Side-effects range from headaches to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, hypoxia, to more severe complications.

A mask is a petri dish for airborne pathogens. If you are not changing masks at maximum every 90 minutes you are creating a nice warm moist habitat for germs an inch from your face. Moreover, without proper glove use, eye protection, and an actual seal around nose and mouth the mask is entirely superficial and ineffective in preventing the spread of pathogens. Not to mention the evidence indicating overexposure to exhaust gasses and concentrations of Co2 with some masks that can be damaging to the immune system.

Oh....and about the ubiquitous moisture droplets that makes Covidiots say..."but, but, but I 'm protecting you from me". More research is pointing out that these viruses are primarily infectious via dry Bio-Aerosols! Yep, and much smaller than your pathetic mask, so you're pretty much spreading it ALL THE TIME.

Teller's 2009 article "Aerosol transmission of influenza A virus: a review of new studies" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2843947/). Teller addresses this directly in the closing discussion.

Increasing evidences point towards a role for aerosol transmission in the spread of influenza (and other similar viruses), at least over short distance where exposure to both aerosol and large droplets occurs. [...] This distinction of ‘short-range aerosol transmission’ is not merely academic; aerosolized particles would readily penetrate or circumvent ordinary surgical masks, and penetration of aerosolized influenza viruses into the LRT where they can initiate infection would account well for the association of aerosol transmission and severe disease.

.....As an additional consideration, it may well be that aerosol transmission is responsible for the most severe cases of disease involving viral infection of the LRT.

Et cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera........................

Lahme et al., in 2001, wrote that “surgical face masks worn by patients during regional anaesthesia, did not reduce the concentration of airborne bacteria over the operation field in our study. Thus they are dispensable.” https://europepmc.org/article/med/11760479

Figueiredo et al., in 2001, reported that in five years of doing peritoneal dialysis without masks, rates of peritonitis in their unit were no different than rates in hospitals where masks were worn. http://www.advancesinpd.com/adv01/21Figueiredo.htm

Surgeons at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, recognizing the lack of evidence supporting the use of masks, ceased requiring them in 2010 for anesthesiologists and other non-scrubbed personnel in the operating room. “Our decision to no longer require routine surgical masks for personnel not scrubbed for surgery is a departure from common practice. But the evidence to support this practice does not exist,” wrote Dr. Eva Sellden. https://pubs.asahq.org/anesthesiology/article/113/6/1447/9572/Is-Routine-Use-of-a-Face-Mask-Necessary-in-the

Webster et al., in 2010, reported on obstetric, gynecological, general, orthopaedic, breast and urological surgeries performed on 827 patients. All non-scrubbed staff wore masks in half the surgeries, and none of the non-scrubbed staff wore masks in half the surgeries. Surgical site infections occurred in 11.5% of the Mask group, and in only 9.0% of the No Mask group. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1445-2197.2009.05200.x

Lipp and Edwards reviewed the surgical literature in 2014 and found “no statistically significant difference in infection rates between the masked and unmasked group in any of the trials.” Vincent and Edwards updated this review in 2016 and the conclusion was the same. https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD002929.pub2/full

Carøe, in a 2014 review based on four studies and 6,006 patients, wrote that “none of the four studies found a difference in the number of post-operative infections whether you used a surgical mask or not.” https://europepmc.org/article/med/25294675

Salassa and Swiontkowski, in 2014, investigated the necessity of scrubs, masks and head coverings in the operating room and concluded that “there is no evidence that these measures reduce the prevalence of surgical site infection.” https://journals.lww.com/jbjsjournal/Abstract/2014/09030/Surgical_Attire_and_the_Operating_Room__Role_in.11.aspx

Da Zhou et al., reviewing the literature in 2015, concluded that “there is a lack of substantial evidence to support claims that facemasks protect either patient or surgeon from infectious contamination.” https://app.cyberimpact.com/click-tracking?ct=8XxKbw1a2tlsGS7OVvC-myVx50CQeX6oobkGLYONaABvQQiClT0d3LXoNrvXbfQhxo4nwt3Q8Et_YSEkxFx275oiqB-rFYJbNJL6Yiv8To4~ PDF!

n Epidemics 2017, a meta-analysis concluded that masks had a non-significant protective effect. In the Annuals of Internal Medicine, April 2020, “neither surgical nor cotton masks effectively filtered SARS-CoV-2 during coughs by affected people.”

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1755436516300858

According to a University of New South Wales, the widespread use of masks by healthcare workers may put them at increased risk of respiratory illness and viral infections, and their global use should be discouraged.

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-04-masksdangerous-health.html

In the British Medical Journal 2015, “Over three times, the risk of contracting influenza-like illness if a cloth mask is used versus no mask at all.” Contaminated masks and masks holding moisture and pathogen retention can increase the risk of infection.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/

A 2016 study in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology found 97% of particles penetrated cloth masks, and 44% of particles penetrated medical masks. They reported that cloth masks are only marginally beneficial in protecting individuals from particles less than 2.5 micrometers.

https://www.nature.com/articles/jes201642

As referenced in the New England Journal of Medicine, the size of Coronavirus particles varied between 0.06 micrometers and 0.14 micrometers.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001017

Cloth and surgical masks do not have a fit test. When worn, gaps around the edges allow small particles to enter the respiratory system. Also, according to the May 2010 edition of PLoS One, lack of eye protection was a primary risk factor of SARS-CoV transmission.

Wearing a mask for seven hours straight may not be safe. Carbon dioxide (CO2) rebreathing has been recognized as a concern in the Ergonomics Journal.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23514282/

In the Head and Neck Pain Journal, most healthcare workers develop de novo PPE‐associated headaches or exacerbation of their pre‐existing headache disorders.

https://headachejournal.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/head.13811

The Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control Journal demonstrated, “Breathing through N95 mask materials have been shown to impede gaseous exchange and impose an additional workload on the metabolic system of pregnant healthcare workers. The benefits of using an N95 mask to prevent serious emerging infectious diseases should be weighed against potential respiratory consequences associated with extended N95 respirator usage.

https://aricjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13756-015-0086-z

Masks also hamper oxygen intake; the body and the immune system require optimal levels of oxygen to feed cells and fight off illness, including Covid19. When studied, surgeons who wore surgical masks had a decrease in blood O2 saturation and an increase in pulse rates of the surgeons after the operations due to surgical mask usage.

According to the Journal of Biomedicines, our oxygen concentration is closely associated with cell survival and immune functioning, making one more susceptible to illness.

I enjoy making quick work of squishy masktards. We're noticing an emerging pattern of an uptick in un-reviewed studies in 2020 that are suddenly promoting the false narrative that non N-95 masks provide anything more than a statistically insignificant and negligible benefit. More information has been suggesting that constant mask use leads to health problems greater than your juvenile fear of a flu-like virus. Yeah, yeah you're protecting others. *pats you gently on the head....why didn't you already do that EVERY FKING FLU SEASON, Mother Theresa? Guess what? Those others you are "martyring" yourself over need to be quarantined at home if they are susceptible to infection. NOT THE 99.7% WHO ARE NOT. Would you like a hammer for that cross you're nailing yourself to?

Also big LOL at you for being so scared, and guzzling propaganda like a cult devotee gladly chugging cyanide Kool-Aid handed to you by Jim Jones himself.

You have got to do better than this! The sanctimonious virtue signaling doesn't look good on you. You're not going to make it with your mind being so impressionable and weak. Strengthen yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. It's ok to let go of what you previously thought you held and clenched onto dearly as being true. Real truth, my friend, at times can be an elusive thing. Turn over every stone in the stream of life relentlessly.

Review of the Medical Literature.....aka Why Fauci said masks DO NOT work:

Here are key anchor points to the extensive scientific literature that establishes that wearing surgical masks and respirators (e.g., “N95”) does not reduce the risk of contracting a verified illness:

Jacobs, J. L. et al. (2009) “Use of surgical face masks to reduce the incidence of the common cold among health care workers in Japan: A randomized controlled trial,” American Journal of Infection Control, Volume 37, Issue 5, 417 – 419. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19216002

N95-masked health-care workers (HCW) were significantly more likely to experience headaches. Face mask use in Healthcare work was not demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds.

Cowling, B. et al. (2010) “Face masks to prevent transmission of influenza virus: A systematic review,” Epidemiology and Infection, 138(4), 449-456. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-infection/article/face-masks-to-prevent-transmission-of-influenza-virus-a-systematic- review/64D368496EBDE0AFCC6639CCC9D8BC05

None of the studies reviewed showed a benefit from wearing a mask, in either Healthcare work or community members in households (H). See summary Tables 1 and 2 therein.

bin-Reza et al. (2012) “The use of masks and respirators to prevent transmission of influenza: a systematic review of the scientific evidence,” Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses 6(4), 257–267. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1750-2659.2011.00307.x

“There were 17 eligible studies. … None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.”

Smith, J.D. et al. (2016) “Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks in protecting health care workers from acute respiratory infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis,” CMAJ Mar 2016 https://www.cmaj.ca/content/188/8/567

“We identified six clinical studies … . In the meta-analysis of the clinical studies, we found no significant difference between N95 respirators and surgical masks in associated risk of (a) laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection, (b) influenza-like illness, or (c) reported work-place absenteeism.”

Offeddu, V. et al. (2017) “Effectiveness of Masks and Respirators Against Respiratory Infections in Healthcare Workers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” Clinical Infectious Diseases, Volume 65, Issue 11, 1 December 2017, Pages 1934–1942, https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/65/11/1934/4068747

“Self-reported assessment of clinical outcomes was prone to bias. Evidence of a protective effect of masks or respirators against verified respiratory infection (VRI) was not statistically significant”; as per Fig. 2c therein:

Radonovich, L.J. et al. (2019) “N95 Respirators vs Medical Masks for Preventing Influenza Among Health Care Personnel: A Randomized Clinical Trial,” JAMA. 2019; 322(9): 824–833. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2749214

“Among 2862 randomized participants, 2371 completed the study and accounted for 5180 HCW-seasons. ... Among outpatient health care personnel, N95 respirators vs medical masks as worn by participants in this trial resulted in no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”

Long, Y. et al. (2020) “Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks against influenza: A systematic review and meta-analysis,” J Evid Based Med. 2020; 1- 9. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jebm.12381

“A total of six RCTs involving 9,171 participants were included. There were no statistically significant differences in preventing laboratory-confirmed influenza, laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infections, laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection, and influenza-like illness using N95 respirators and surgical masks. Meta-analysis indicated a protective effect of N95 respirators against laboratory-confirmed bacterial colonization (RR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.43-0.78). The use of N95 respirators compared with surgical masks is not associated with a lower risk of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”

THE Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, after many studies, have come to this conclusion: Wearing masks will not reduce SARS-CoV-2.

Coronavirus can enter through the eyes.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/health-news/11593666/coronavirus-enter-through-eyes-scientists-warn/

"We did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility." https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article

Cities with mask mandates are also the ones with the highest death counts.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/07/new-york-times-attempt-promote-face-masks-backfires-shows-widespread-china-coronavirus-cases-wherever-masks-worn/

Ritter et al in 1975, found that “the wearing of a surgical face mask had no effect upon the overall operating room environmental contamination.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1157412/

Ha’eri and Wiley, in 1980, applied human albumin microspheres to the interior of surgical masks in 20 operations. At the end of each operation, wound washings were examined under the microscope. “Particle contamination of the wound was demonstrated in all experiments.” https://europepmc.org/article/med/7379387

Laslett and Sabin, in 1989, found that caps and masks were not necessary during cardiac catheterization. “No infections were found in any patient, regardless of whether a cap or mask was used,” they wrote. Sjøl and Kelbaek came to the same conclusion in 2002. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ccd.1810170306

In Tunevall’s 1991 study, a general surgical team wore no masks in half of their surgeries for two years. After 1,537 operations performed with masks, the wound infection rate was 4.7%, while after 1,551 operations performed without masks, the wound infection rate was only 3.5%. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01658736

Okay Snopes bot. Spare us the run of the mill apologist script for why he said that. You fell for it and now you're parroting this flimsy excuse.

They studied masks for several decades and came to the conclusion that non 95 masks don't work. Then all-of-a-sudden, 50 years of mask studies are turned on its head in 1 month, with a couple of words and a rushed unreviewed study.

This tiresome topic has been proven to be circumspect to suspicion to the point of ad nauseum. I can't believe you are being so daft as to fall for this obvious manipulation of public consensus. Please by all means, dig up the dozens of pre existing med pub abstracts that clearly outline that non 95 masks are worthless. Then ask yourself how they all came up with the "wrong" conclusion.

Or just keep believing carefully crafted lies that have been shoved into your brain. Literally a litmus test for how gullible people are.

Do it. Research pre Covid mask studies and ask yourself how is it possible they conveniently changed the narrative. Fauci knows non 95 masks are ineffective after being exposed to decades of mask studies. That's why he said they don't work, not because of their clearly imaginative and deceptive excuses to explain away his previous statement.

Velocity · 2021-01-05T04:51:44+00:00

If everyone wore a mask, we'd have been done with this a long time ago.

Prove your opinion, Karen.

"Right now, in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks," Fauci said during the interview. "There's no reason to be walking around with a mask." He continued, "When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is." -Fauci

Suck it bootlicker.

False equivalence is a logical fallacy in which an equivalence is drawn between two subjects based on flawed or false reasoning.

https://ahrp.org/medical-journals-complicit-in-corruption-of-medicine/

A growing number of prominent physician-scientists, including several former journal editors, and New York Times columnists, have written sobering critiques about the corrupting impact pharmaceutical industry influence has had on medicine. That influence has debased the integrity of medical research, clinical practice and medicine’s institutions.

Although industry’s cash inducements have corrupted both individual doctors, universities, professional associations, and industry front groups that masquerade as "patient advocates," those most responsible for the corruption of medicine are medicine’s academic leaders, prestigious medical institutions, journal editors, experts charged with formulating practice guidelines, and federal oversight agencies–in particular, the FDA, the National Institutes of Health, and the Center for Disease Control.

When academia and government agencies became stakeholders in the business of medicine, promoting the commercial interests of manufacturers, rather than the public interest, they betrayed the public trust and their professional integrity.

Pseudo voodoo science

For mundane facts they're okay. For anything controversial they clearly misinterpret data points, and spin it to fit an establishment narrative.

they tend to do a pretty darn good job of utilizing facts

With your feeble verbose wall of text apology on their behalf. It's clear you do not do any serious amount of research on your own. Nor, have you mastered critical thinking.

While you're playing video games, or otherwise jacking around wasting your precious time. You would find me reading science and medical research, abstracts, and verifying subject credibility...and everyone involved.

Snope's bias is obvious to any one who has dedicated time to researching a topic. Common informational malfeasance on their part includes but is not limited to moving "field goals", ignoring dissenting evidence, shameless appeals to authority, disregarding "inconvenient" sources etc..

I shouldn't have to tell you this! If you were a researcher, you would already know what I'm talking about.

Not to mention Snope's shady history, and lack of transparency as to who is paying them to spread disinformation.

Sorry kid, you have to actually do the hard work of proving a topic. Instead of lazily being dependent on being fed erroneous information from a sleazy, incompetent site that you like to treat as an "I win" button because Snopes said so. At this point you look like a fool doing that.

Velocity · 2020-12-31T20:39:25+00:00
