Not the "initial mRNA research", just the mRNA research. Pfizer contributed their experience in running clinical trials and manufacturing.

The history of mRNA based pharmaceuticals is a fascinating one, Statnews have a great article on the topic: https://www.statnews.com/2020/11/10/the-story-of-mrna-how-a-...
It’s still indefinite until someone defines it, and I haven’t seen any public health official who’s willing to specify a date when things will be back to normal. Many aren’t even willing to say that we can go back to normal once we’re vaccinated.
No, testing (in terms of software testing) refers to the process of verifying something is working as expected. The test suite for youtube-dl is/was using snippets of DRM protected material to ensure that their anti-DRM techniques were working as expected.

Showing a screenshot of copyrighted material is just that, showing a screenshot of copyrighted material. Nothing is downloaded, asserted or even evaluated. For all we know, they can have a license for that material (or live in Germany, where ripping your owned DVD disks is legal).

Two vastly different things.
>It will soon be much more than 30% of GDP. The US seems to have forgotten that the economy is not a zero-sum game.

What matters most is trade balance. If somehow a trade is completely balanced, which is quite unlikely, then it's zero-sum.

The problem is that China very rarely has trade surplus with other countries. They often come up with illegitimate reasons to restrict trade to those countries with surplus.

Australia joining free trade agreement with China makes sense because they've sold so much of their natural resources to Chinese companies. Exporting Iron/Coal for example is huge. The free trade agreement with china will give them a surplus that will make Australians quite wealthy.

Climate change will be used to restrict or even eliminate coal use within Australia in order to abuse that situation more. Australia stands to benefit greatly at the expense of China.

Japan on the otherhand? They are still in the midst of a deflationary spiral due to their debt crisis and their trade deficit with China will become worse. The Japanese people are pretending to be wealthy right now and are going to be far less wealthy soon.
Are telcos cooperating with states and giving them backdoors to their networks?
Your assumption:

> The period where high virus loads are found in our bodies will be shorter

is precisely what can't be assumed in advance but must be measured, as there are known examples where the assumption doesn't hold at all (and that includes the flu vaccines).

(Not to mention that just "shorter" is by definition not "sterilizing", the transmission is then obviously still possible.)

If the virus is transmitted via the upper respiratory tract, and it is, it's less probable that the immune cells in blood can prevent the infection and viral shedding of the mucosa. The cells have to be first attacked and infected before the immune reaction can kick in. Even now, it is known that the highest infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 is often before the symptoms are observable, i.e. before the immune reaction starts. That would also explain the existence of asymptotic carriers: their immune system already protects them, but they are still able to infect others.
Last time I checked Tor was managing its own encryption and routing without relying on any macOS VPN or firewall API. Several years ago it was making direct connections to various IPs and sending the encrypted information.

It makes no sense for Tor to use those APIs since they're designed for other use cases.
Second this. I have the same router and it's extremely easy to setup, and it supports Wireguard out of the box, which I love for its simplicity.
It has a simple interface on top of openWRT, for non-experts like me. Support is a bit crap as it's all in Chinese but it works like a charm.
> One could still argue that time is just an ordinary dimension and the structure of the metric is just a property of how we measure distances.

The math doesn't work unless time is different from the 3 spatial dimensions. In particular, distances in space-time can be negative, unlike distances in space.
Those are weasel words. They are not saying parallels will run windows ARM. Read carefully and see what they're actually saying. There is not even a hint that parallels will run windows ARM on M1 macs, but the sequence of sentences creates the illusion of one.

Parallels, like vmware, is depending on microsoft here. If microsoft doesn't play ball there will be no windows on apple silicon macs. Currently there can be no officially supported way of running windows ARM on M1 macs, as the windows license does not allow it.
Yes if mRNA works well, we will probably get 95% effective vaccines within the next decade or two targeting diseases such as HIV, influenza, almost any virus basically.
It is fine for it to be vague. It is implied because medical ethics and international humanitarian law preclude exposing subjects to a deadly virus, let alone for testing purposes, let alone in a blind study.

Additionally, you can apply common sense that if 15,000 people were exposed to the virus with no protection, more than 90 of them would become infected.
Stallman, for all his faults, predicted exactly this and fought an uphill battle to prevent it. If only there was money in GPL software to make it competitive on the desktop, not just usable. It's something that would have to happen out of taxpayer's purse, I'm afraid.
> screenshot of a .mkv of a copyrighted film is really tactful for a Serious Project aimed at mainstream audience

Take a look at the VLC homepage. I think VLC is both a serious project and aimed at mainstream audience, but somehow they "got the balls" to use screenshots from Ironman and more.

I agree with your "not succumbing to self-censorship" in general.
To be fair, Bobby Fischer life, while not totally uneventful wouldn't really be dramatic enough for a serie. At least, not without focusing on the geopolitical aspect of when he played spassky, which the serie apparently didn't go with.

Also, using a woman character was a good idea in my opinion, since chess is such a man world.
>plenty of people who will refuse to take the vaccine

Hopefully this doesn't turn into a very messy public fight given that I fully expect a lot of schools and workplaces to require vaccination to physically enter a school or an office.
> Personally, it reminded me of how people say "it's not a sprint, it's a marathon". Yeah, but Haile Gebreselassie runs the marathon at an average of 20 km/h. Some people really do operate at a heck of a limit.

I wonder if that might be missing the broader point of the saying. Yes, it's true that some people do operate "at a heck of a limit" but it's much more true to say that human beings, compared to other animals, have distinct advantages and disadvantages. Bear in mind that few other species can actually /generally/ run marathons -- we evolved the ability to sweat and engage in endurance ran /in the pursuit/ of persistence hunting.

Maybe it's just a personal thing these days, but I'm even more curious about min-floors than max-ceilings. Not just because of patterns like this, but because the thought leadership trope of "let's look at a leader in the field and figure out what we can learn from them" is not very useful. Figuring out why it's so easy for me to get into decent aerobic shape pretty quickly as a human being (for millions of years, it was useful for hunting) is a lot more enlightening.

So to get back to your point, JC is probably even more of a "marathon runner" than he looks like. I've seen that with all great engineers (and founders) -- they have the patience and opportunism to pull solutions out of a different problem space from scratch for a six to seven year stretch of time.

It's not about working hard. It's not about working fast. It's about merely surviving -- and getting creative with how you go about doing that. And it is almost always about efficiency.
Not to disparage your comment or recommendation, but “it just works” typically means you don’t have to go looking for software (or muck with cron) to do things like ‘backups’.

For me, it’s reasons like that which keep me on Apple: 90% of my basic computer operation/maintenance usecases are already taken care of, or have first party software to take care of it.

I leave finessing linux operations and programs for my day job.
The average user needs a web browser, full stop. This can be proven easily by looking at the market success of Chromebooks.
"The more you move in space, the less you move in time"

The consequences of this simple rule are rather shocking, as the recent nobel winner Roger Penrose pointed out.

Take the case of two people on Earth, one stationary and one travelling past in a car. They each have different events which they consider the present. Now imagine that there is an alien government in Andromeda debating a possible invasion of Earth. To the person on Earth who is moving, the debate still going on, but in the reference frame of the stationary person, it's a day or so later in Andromeda and the invasion fleet is already on it's way. If there is no absolute reference frame, and both observers reference frames are equally valid, then the outcome of the invasion debate is a foregone conclusion. This is the crux of the Andromeda Paradox and the Reitdijk-Putnam-Penrose argument. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rietdijk%E2%80%93Putnam_argume...
The amount of sugar (especially fructose) in fruits like apples, oranges and bananas is shockingly high, and can cause or exacerbate conditions such as obesity, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, gout and other metabolic or inflammatory diseases.

If you want some idea of how bad it is: monkeys get diabetes from bananas now

Bugs and vulnerabilities are an ever-present thing. You don’t really need to mention them when making a statement like the parent’s.

Also I don’t think your terminology is really all that helpful. These services are literally VPNs. Trying to make a distinction doesn’t really add anything when VPN is already an established well understood term. This just adds confusion when there are already L3 proxies.
Well, combineReducers etc are all in Redux.
In my experience, stay away from consumer routers and a lot of these sorts of issues go away. Even something as simple and inexpensive as Ubiquiti is miles ahead of anything in the consumer space. I haven't had a router issue in years. And I use VPN every day.
And even more, former hires of Bitdefender, a Romanian cybersec company also participated in the R&D of Stuxnet, the virus that broke into Iranian nuclear facilities. They were also the first offering protection against it in 2010 [1].

Koch is either a massive failure if he really cares about things like the prison industrial complex and entirely failed to make even the smallest change despite billions of dollars, or he's just a massive liar. One option seems much more likely than the other given his large GOP support
An SBC with mainline kernel support for HD video?
I tried Odroid C2 and Rock64, but both depend on custom kernels to output video.

I do not even need 4K nor 3D, just simple HD hardware-optimized 2D video playback and Desktop experience on mainline linux 5.9.

Are there SBCs that fit that criterion?
Isn't the difference more due to tests levels and announcement precautions ? Pfizer's announced temperature looks like the one for very long term ARN storage while standard fridge for a month doesn't look like it should alter ARN much.

I'm not sure there's a real difference here.
Doesn’t feel that way in the Midwest. My Wisconsin relatives had been actively downplaying the existence (not just severity) of COVID until people they know started being hospitalized. So it goes, I guess - but the tone has changed.
I was referring to software firewalls. Obviously it's bad if a VPN is leaking traffic, but that's not confirmed yet... or at least I couldn't find any proof of that in the linked tweets.
Filleting with OpenSCAD is a nightmare.
Deliberately exposing people ("challenge trials") is not allowed.

It could have saved a huge number of lives, but that's not how the system works.
I think there's work and there's work. The people who've I've observed with great engineering talent have certainly worked to get it, but they have been selective to the point of selfishness about what work they do. That work might look like "fun" to colleagues, and so they are diplomatic about it, or don't do it completely out in the open.

Of course the proliferation of free engineering tools makes it possible for them to have two lives, one doing the "hard work" that satisfies colleagues during the day, and the other "hard work" that develops talent at night.

I've also seen many young engineers plunge straight into "hard work" consisting of running the CAD terminal and fighting fires, and those engineers were recognized as being productive but lost their fundamental knowledge and did not become great engineers.
Both Franklin and Da Vinci were well-known and documented tea-totalling vegetarians. The kind you avoid inviting to parties because they won't stop proselytizing it.

Turns out genetic metabolic problems have always been around and modern simple "life hacks" like a fad diet product or an exercise product aren't always the cure.
Counterintuitive Rules for Being a Better Manager
>If you want to own the games, pirate them.

Complete BS, you can use GOG or HumbleBundle.
You are not the customer of these ads. The customer is the company selling vacuums.

Your profile has "interested in vacuum cleaners" and then the ad system monetizes this fact by selling ads to vacuum cleaner companies. The ad system makes money every time you see one.
The qualifier of 'automatic' on death sentence is fun.

Would the software even be necessary if the airframe was better designed?
In a crisis things that were previously considered impossible can sometimes get done.
Yes, my app is Java so I would also have to pay for a Windows cert. I have none right now and would love to not feel so attached to the $300 a fancy cert would be.

For HTTPS I manage with LetsEncrypt. Wouldn't that work for you?
The only way it could be worse is if they had actual helicopter filming this.
Why Logic Programming Matters
You must have had a issue with your hardware or firmware because my r720xd is quiet. Only loud during post boot test.
You can plot the lines using matplotlib, then print it and stick it on a piece of wood. There are also slide rule PDFs online.
That is not a like-for-like comparison because the case fatality rates weren't calculated using the same method.
> Yes, I've read about the flu surveillance networks as well. However, these work well in theory, but not always in practice right? The past few years where I've seen the doctor in the UK, they've mostly dismissed anything wrong with me by just giving me some minor medication (this is probably in accordance to meet the waiting target)

I'm not a medical doctor, but the common cold and influenza have very similar symptoms to non doctors but doctors are good at telling them apart.

> Basically, I'm not saying COVID-19 definitely came from Europe or didn't originate from China, all I've been saying is to have an open mind

No you complained that no one is listening to you and you get downvoted.

Open minds are great. But stop sharing this nonsense until there is better evidence because at the moment it seems pretty weak.
1. Nothing wrong. But there are plenty of things to consider if you need a mature product.

2. Businesses like to pay.

3. Github has been bad lately https://www.theregister.com/2020/07/13/github_takes_some_dow...
Android is getting just as bad lately. My primary banking app (Barclays) just stopped working on my phone because they've started to use Android hardware attested SafetyNet[0][1] to check to see if the phone is rooted.

This can't be easily bypassed. Magisk Hide is useless. For now I've had to disable auto-updates in the Play Store and manually install an older app APK, but it's only a matter of time before they deprecate that version. I do essentially all of my banking via my phone, so when this happens I intend to close all my accounts and move banks.

The sooner someone leaks a hardware key (preferably one that Google can't revoke without cripplingly bad PR for breaking millions of products) the better.

I honestly think 'appification', app stores, and locked down hardware via key chains will be the end of an era in hacker-friendly consumer electronics. Perhaps the end of personal computing entirely.

I found my depression has actually lifted with respect to the pandemic. It has helped me realize there is only so much in a situation I can control, ergo me, that I can always change my situation. And that if I can't, if I am physically restrained or something, then perhaps only my thoughts.
Safari only just got webp support super recently. Seems like they held back on it long enough...
If it's books they were likely confiscating them to burn them :)
TLDR: How they did it? Use an FPGA to offload the pattern matching.

Very interesting though.
Am I reading it wrong, or does it say "We need strong encryption that we are able to break"?
Honestly this shit bothers me so much. You're worse than the people who call me a fag, because at least they aren't under some delusion that they're being helpful.
Yes, but the 'accessories' is actually not a 'middle ground' - that's actually very advanced thing to do. We may get there.

The 'middle ground' is literally 'bought vacuum -> show vacuum' - and it works.

People are emotional about this stuff and aren't thinking about it in terms of behaviour, response etc..

Some things are negative, toxic, this one is just innocuous: you only notice the vacuum ad because you bought one. Otherwise, it would be a completely random ad for something you truly don't care about and you wouldn't notice it.

It's actually technically more efficient to show you stuff 'you might want to buy' than stuff you 'don't even care about a tiny bit'.

Edit: I should add - you see ads for generic products all day long - in fact probably the least value-creating ads are those for really well established brands. Crest toothpaste, laundry detergent etc it has not improved materially in decades (small things maybe) and yet they spend billions on packaging, positioning, huge ads etc.. And yet for some reason it doesn't quite bother us.
And cancers
true, in that we may not have needed one if he wasn't so incompetent to let it get this bad.
For the love of God please just give me a microwave that makes zero noise, ever. No when I press buttons and not when it finishes cooking. I feel like every microwave I have has the most shrill, grating, ear splitting beep ever and it doesn't stop for 10+ minutes when something finishes cooking. I flinch every single time and often I can't immediately get up to turn it off because I'm in a meeting or something

Edit: I just found the setting on my microwave to mute it and I could cry
Github Repo - https://github.com/cmu-snap/pigasus
We Windows users just have no rational choice - the utility is carefully tuned to outweigh the annoyances and anti-features for the majority of users.

So we suck up MS treatment of us as cattle whose data and behaviours to be harvested and the dumbing down of the UI in the interest of getting things done and getting on with our lives.

It's a faustian bargain, but the alternative is worse.

I already work on a computer all week, then and spend a lot of my discretionary time on it for career research, for necessary involvement in modern life and for some leisure.

If I fulfil my desire to use linux for all the various advanced desktop scenarios I demand of my computer I'm giving up the remaining free time in my life!! And for what - to tweak driver configurations and DEs, again, AGAIN, for the hundredth or thousandth time in my life to keep things working. Learning how everything works was fun but constantly canoodling with configuration and setup for the nth time is as pointless as working around MS antifeatures, and seems to take up more time on balance if you are doing a wide variety of advanced scenarios occasionally (in my experience as a 20 year linux tinkerer).

So it's not a blind spot, it's a faustian bargain to have some hours left in my life to exercise, to look after my health, to go outside and enjoy the garden and live a wider life.
New Study Reveals Top UK Cities to Start a Side Hustle in Lockdown
How likely is this due to random chance?
I use OP's router (https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt1300/) and it supports Wireguard out of the box and so far it worked very well (used it for 2 months).
Buying a baby on Nairobi's black market
I don't know what's going on in the US system, but what you describe sounds rather broken. In Germany (where I live and regularly volunteer as a polling worker), a larger county does not report slower than a smaller county. "Larger county" would just mean "more polling places" so that each polling place maps to about the same number of voters, therefore the load is distributed smoothly. The longest line I've ever seen in a polling station was 10 people who showed up in a group, and it took only 5 minutes to serve all of them.
Hm, fair enough. That sounds cool. I've found React useState pretty amazing so far; I'll have to check out what's changed!
Yes I agree with all of the above. And with my fixation on URL shorteners, I did have a dream of creating a full fledged URL shortening service like yours. I wasn't technically skilled enough for that then and thus didn't do it but your site does look great!
I'm not sure how right this is but I was told it's to do with time dilation. If you're moving close to the speed of light, stuff that isn't is experiencing way more time than you. As light isn't affected by time dilation it's still traveling at the same speed but now has much longer to do so. So from your perspective the speed of light seems to be 190% not because it's traveling faster than C but because it's traveling more C seconds per your second when your time is dilated.

Edit: on further reading perhaps I haven't even addressed your question...

If I had to hazard a guess I would say it's to do with light having no mass. Once it's emitted it's no longer in your frame of reference so your supposed speed is irrelevant to it.
Right! Always look at their actions instead!

An example.

Observation: nearly everyone uses facebook.

Conclusion: they must love facebook!

Corollary: they must be fine with what facebook is doing!

Sorry, having a grumpy day here, but I find it kind of arrogant to think you know better than people. Yes, looking at actions provides info you don't get from polling. But the same holds the other way around.
I'd gladly clarify my position if you specify which part doesn't make sense.
The virus is less than a year old.
