Asthmatics might be interested to know that many of the long-term treatments use molecules based on cortisol. Check out the similarity of these:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortisol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budesonide

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beclometasone

This is because one of the effects of cortisol is to suppress immune response.

And, just a thought, there was news recently that the incidence of Alzheimer's was reduced in people on long-term anti-viral drugs. The hypothesis being that Alzheimer's is partially caused by a virus. High cortisol levels (or their related asthma treatment molecules) would reduce immune response and therefore we could predict today's result from the previous one. I've probably over simplified the situation.
Crazy that this still happens[1]!

Should major DNS servers just stop resolving TLDs that are not either the original six (com, net, org, edu, gov, mil) or a ccTLD?

Most spam comes from domains registered with these fake TLDs that ICANN has sponsored over the past decade, and apparently being an internationally recognized region isn't enough to stop a company named after the region from taking your quasi-ccTLD (if .eu exists, so can .amazon).

The term "cultural appropriation" is massively overused nowadays, but naming the company this, then years later stealing their TLD (and thus adding an entry to the long list of abuse that fake TLDs have caused) would be an appropriate use IMO.

Not kidding, he just named it Amazon because its the biggest river in the world, not even questioning if that was the right thing to do.
Other than having a .com because most folks will just add a .com at the end of the name when URLing, what are the other practical use cases for having a TLD anyway?
The problem comes if someone is specifically involved with a specific project. You've just seriously narrowed the search space for new vulnerabilities for someone by several orders of magnitude. The specific person who is named, or the organization who is releasing the information, may narrow the search space even further.
>Considering these applications won’t be ported to FDB, why not develop a translation later. This will also drive adoption of FDB.

Writing a translation layer would be nice, "drop in" replacement can be an overkill to drive growth.

If some FoundationDB enthusiasts made an elastic hosting service and some dedicated tooling it would be help massively to compete with others NoSQL Vendors.

Apply this to a sport team where you usually have solid metrics and replenishment occurs. A contrived comparison at a smaller scale, but I don't see this strategy working.

In practice you would get similar hires and It would just cause more disruption in the team. ie you would lose chemistry for little or no gain in skills.

>if people could genuinely identify low performers every single time without causing collateral damage,

I'm not sure about collateral damage, but that's what I meant by a solid metric.

If the metric isn't worth shit, then you're probably not doing much better than random selection, and perhaps worse, selecting on a trait you didn't mean to, or didn't want. e.g. power-hungry.

But if you believe in the metric, the strategy is sensible (and its probably safe to assume such managers do indeed believe in their metric).

Probably the bigger problem is there's no strategy in place to test the metric

6 Business Efficiency Tactics You Should Not Miss
Don't want to turn this into another 'blockchains can solve anything' discussion - but I do feel some form of blockchain tech could be an effective way to solve e-voting.
Here's why:

- A central authority(government) can control issuance of new keys and maintain the association between keys and personal information. There are already plenty of gov ID cards which support digital signatures and can be used to sign voting keys as well. At the same time personal info would not show up on the blockchain.

- Blockchain explorers would be used as a way to verify the votes are legit by virtually anyone

- NVOs, governments, etc can run the blockchain nodes to ensure integrity of the blockchain

In combination with well designed UIs we can have simple voting apps that can make e-voting a breeze (see the Smart-ID implementation for a great example of such tech).

Obviously the attack vector shifts to the gov servers running the key issuance but its easier to do opsec on a datacenter level than on individual voting machines scattered around the country. There's also a question of the integrity of the voting app, but that can/should be open-sourced and audited.

We obviously have the tech and the capabilities to create very effective e-voting solutions. Would even go so far as to say that a proper solution would drastically change the way we think about voting - it would make on-boarding a lot easier and provide some form of 'direct' democracy that we are already seeing flourish in countries like CH. So it seems very shady to me that we end up with BS like this thats very easily exploited and discarded as ineffective.

I'd love to endorse ING, but i must say, their security really worries me. I'm just putting this out there: you log in to internet banking with your "customer number" which is printed on your bank card, and then you have exactly 4-digit PIN you key in with their stupid on-screen keypad.

I love that they're relatively modern for Australian standards (fast payments, no fees ever, basically) so i'd love to endorse them, but i, too, am on the lookout for a replacement bank that has e.g. MFA with TOTP or a physical challenge-response box like my otherwise overpriced ABN bank account gave me back in 2002, in the Netherlands...

So i, too, am all ears for recommendations.

EDIT: and once you're in internet banking, you can willy nilly transfer cash out if you either use a "saved address" (someone you've paid before) or you'd need to hijack my mobile number. But $deity knows that's easy - just claim you own a number and get it ported over to a new service no-questions-asked. Facepalm, really.

... who have been symptomatic for no more than 48 hours.

This is a serious issue with these drugs. In general, I won't go to the doctor in that time frame. This is especially the case if one gets symptoms on a friday afternoon - the doctors do not open until Monday. By the time I decide I*m sick enough to visit the doctor, I've already passed the time frame (Exceptions apply, of course). And I know I'm not the only one.

To me, this is a major downfall of such remedies. This could seriously make a difference in the way the flu spreads, but for that to really happen, we need more ways to get seen by doctors or nurse practitioners. We should encourage folks to see the doctor for "little" things. We need to make sure everyone can get seen. We probably need to make sure folks in service industries get seen immediately and won't lose their jobs over such things. This is mostly because service industry workers can spread these to a wide population easily without controls.

The what now? They are not enforcing anything - the court is. They took the matter to court and essentially said "look, we have all reason to believe that person X has our property on their premises, we ask for permission to enter those premises to recover our property". And the court says "ok, but in order to make sure there is no funny business, I'm sending an independent lawyer and technical experts appointed by this court to accompany you". That sounds absolutely fine to me, no?

It's like if someone rented your car and didn't return it at the end of the rental period - that's not theft, or at least it would be hard to prove it as such, so at least right off the bat, it's not a criminal case. It's against the contract you two had though, and you would have to sue the rentee in civil court - and yes, the court would absolutely allow you to go to the yard where the car was kept, and recover it yourself - they would maybe send a bailiff with you, but not an actual police officer.

Is that "allowing private citizens/companies power to enforce laws"? Of course not.
You would think that someone out there would fix those problems at their companies and reap the rewards: an effective, highly motivated workforce.

I'm not familiar with Rossman's battery case, but those same laws have been used to stop shipments of refurbished Apple parts. I believe it was iPad Rehab this happened to most famously. They would disassemble an iPhone, send the display assembly (broken glass, LCD intact) to China, they would replace the glass and send it back. Because the LCD had an Apple logo on it, it was seized. But the LCD was genuine - it came directly out of an iPhone. That's equivalent to stopping the sale of a used car, just because it had the tires replaced with third-party ones, but still bares the maker's logo.

Yes, I'm Czech living in Prague. Last 4 years the Prague local government was led by ANO, the party led by StB (communist secret police) member billionaire Andrej Babis. Their campaign was extremely strong then and they won - today Prague is in horrendous state, bridges are literally falling down (2 more just this week), traffic is worse (extremely worse!) than ever due to idiotically planned long roadworks that have to be soon redone and zero construction of much needed infrastructure, the public transport is way worse than it was, taxi mafia is still the same, they caused a huge housing bubble... And on top of that Krnacova calls Prague people who don't like it "whiners", repeatedly and on purpose - she even recently confirmed that it's exactly what she wanted to say.

The major implication for the whole country is that at least Prague citizens are absolutely fed up with ANO - that is important because they dominated the whole country politics for the last 2 periods. Today there are 2 other major parties - ODS (Občansko-demokratická strana, Civic Democracy Party) and the Pirate party. These are the three winners of the recent parliament vote - parliament politics affect local politics a lot in the Czech Republic. If you don't want to vote ANO then you vote ODS if you're more on the right (as in free market) and the Pirate party if you're more on the left. There are basically no other options - the remaining "major" (bigger than others but has almost no influence) party in the country is a racist one. Other previously major parties such as ČSSD (social democracy), KDU-ČSL (the Roman-Catholics) and KSČM (literal communists) have fallen down significantly over last 2 periods, most probably because of their cooperation with ANO.

Pirates have a good track record as far as local politics go, but it's a relatively new party and they only participated in smaller cities/villages so far (on top of their recent entry to parliament). This person is completely unknown. Let's see.

> A central authority(government) can control issuance of new keys and maintain the association between keys and personal information

One of the key features of a secret ballot voting system is that there's no practical way to tie a voter to a vote.

If you have a direct relation between a voter and a unique key, and that key and a vote, you've basically built an automated corruption system.

And a lot of people might not be entirely comfortable with the assertion that it's fine, only the government knows who you voted for.
