Affordable because Facebook is subsidizing it with a shitload of money. I don't think that is a good case for demanding independence from Facebook.

Also, then don't go standalone. Yeah it's a nice feature. Facebook paid for it.

Because you don't want a FB account, you missed out on an incredible VR experience. How does that even make sense?

I don't understand why Oculus, being owned by Facebook, should not be allowed to require a Facebook login. I don't like it much, but it is their company. They invested shitloads of money in it, too.

It's also not the only VR headset in town.

Nevertheless, isn't the latest finding that many people already seem to be partially immune - perhaps because there are some similarities to other Corona viruses that the immune system can latch on to?

Why not recyle it into plants? Burn it to produce CO2, let plants absorb CO2 to grow?

If it's all just plastic, you can melt the broken thing and make something new from it. It doesn't have to be such a bad thing.

Afaik such things happen, although I don't know about Sweden. But many reports that induced panic were just things that happen from time to time, only the population was not used to seeing it (no reporting). There were other aspects, too, like morgues closing out of fear or because of regulation (can't handle the dead because of risk of infection).

Edit: HN doesn't let me post more comments atm, so here is my reply to "needs citations":

They "need" citations? Why do they need them, because it is my duty to convince you? Why?

If you are interested, you can ask if I have citations, or you can google yourself. But there is no "need" as such, because it is not my duty to convince you.

These things made the rounds at the high time early in the pandemic. Maybe if I have time I'll google them later. Maybe you could google for "Morgues closing corona" or something like that.

New York especially afaik has a problem with Morgues, even in normal times there are not enough of them, and it is not easy to build more because of regulations.

How did they determine the numbers?

Influenza is also new every year. There have been other Coronaviruses before.

So did they test every dying person on influenza, and if they died, cause of death was "influenza"? What if they tested positive for both influenza and Covid-19, what cause would be listed?

I'm just not convinced the comparison is very meaningful, as I suspect many more people were tested for Covid-19 than for influenza. The testing strategy may have been completely different, making the comparison meaningless.

I really hope Facebook can not interfere in the elections. If they can do that, it would be a serious cause for concern.

But how would they do that? Send a zombie code to the brains of its users? Hack into voting machines?

That article makes little sense, imo.
