Because science is complex, there is no universal answer to "what is the right CT" for PCT. Each assay/test configuration and mechanism has its own characteristics and constraints. The right number can vary, even from lab to lab using "the same test", due to variance in sample technique, storage, source of materials, etc.

And besides, the average CT for positive tests has been below 30 for the vast majority of tests, with something like a 0.005% false positive rate [1]. The people who are barking about CT are misinformation specialists, not infectious disease specialists

[1] https://twitter.com/LaymansScience/status/134538112170665164...

So to the anti-vaxers who want to score points over CT values, just ask them what CT threshold they use in their own lab, and how they justify it vs 1 higher, or 2 lower, or double, or half.

They don't have answers because it is complex and they don't know what the specific lab(s) are doing.

And then the hedge funds said they did indeed sell their short positions, but no-one believed them and the rise continues. There is no way the only losers will be hedge funds at this point, lots of retail investors will lose money.
Some years ago I got an Enviracaire EWM-220, which looks to be discontinued now. This is a warm-steam one that also has a UV bulb in it to (presumably) sanitize the water. Twin tanks where one gets used up before the other one starts to drain, so you can refill them one at a time.

Didn't see this mentioned in another comment, but when it's time to de-calcify the boiling chamber (very easy to access on this model) I squirt a little Lysol toilet boil cleaner in there and let it foam and sizzle on the scale buildup for about ten minutes, then wash it away.

Anecdotally, I saw this model in a couple different violin shops around the time I got it. Typically in one of these places there will be showrooms where you can try out bows and instruments, and they usually have about a hundred violins/violas/cellos hanging up in there.

Humidity control is extremely important for fine string instrument storage, so I figured if this is the model a shop has settled upon to protect $100-200K of their merchandise, it's probably a good choice.
Digital content is king, but physical copies are always going to have a market- collectors do want physical boxes for their display shelves. Though certainly the company does need to pivot into something bigger.

I'm not sure if the comparison to Blockbuster is as comparable, as renting media probably has different dynamics from buying media. And games, which cannot be rented except in a few specialty subscriber services such as Apple Arcade, will have different dynamics from movies or shows that can be rented.
Does this mean that Microsoft (or its Bing subsidiary?) will not have to pay the same tax, even if it becomes the dominatn search engine in Australia? Or is it not an issue, because the relevant subsidiary of Microsoft makes no profit, and therefore the amount due will be zero?

I haven't a clue here, I'm just surprised.
When I attended a private liberal arts college (04-08) there were plenty of conservative and Christian students, and to my knowledge none had any issues with administration or faculty. Most of the problems came from other students, typically because of the ideological fervor of a fresh (and uneducated) convert.
I haven't thoroughly investigated this study or its methodology, but it doesn't seem very hard to believe:

"Guy who tells me I'm an idiot for using hardware to do my job also says he is tired of users not wanting to use wayland" - I think he should read the book "How to win friends and influence people", because telling people they are idiots for using hardware they have to use and then complaining they don't want to use his stuff is pretty hilarious and pathetic.

I'm not asking him to suddenly love Nvidia, but there has to be some compromise here. Nvidia works wonderfully on linux for desktop + x11 (with 4 x 4k monitors mind you) and for CUDA. I'd love for the nvidia proprietary drivers to support wayland, but I'm also tired of his hyperbole about bad users who don't want to use wayland.
Reminds me of when a honeybee swarm occupied the parking lot behind our building and eventually mostly settled on a bike rack (this also happens to be the building of the downtown Palo Alto Philz). As a beekeeper, I was so excited that I emailed our head of ops and physical security in all caps asking if I could have them. After he called me to confirm that I wasn't trolling, he graciously offered to stand guard to keep folks away while I grabbed my bee suit to safely remove the bees and put them in a new home.

Yeah I did think about it, which boiled down to "NVIDIA has working up-to-date Linux drivers" -- AMD used to be way worse and also there also has been a shortage of AMD-based workstation-class laptops on the market.

What I haven't considered is whether NVIDIA's Linux drivers might be implementing a particular graphics stack interface differently so that implementing Wayland on top of it becomes a PITA for some developers (not that GNOME and KDE didn't compromise to implement it anyways for users' sake). That does not make me a "shitty consumer", there is no way even a cautious consumer can take things like "GBM vs EGLStreams" fully into account every time.
Nice one. I got my VC20 '84 or '85. Almost 40 years later, I learned another trick. This could also work on C64 I guess. Almost the same mechanics apply there.
Precisely! And this isn't "anti-Wayland horseshit" so much as it is simply Wayland is not viable for your use case and mine as well. He insults nvidia, insults nvidia users, and then complains that people don't want to use wayland. Very unprofessional and laughable that he expects people to agree with his POV.
It's not a good proxy, at least not anymore, so I'm not sure why you would. Plenty of fairly conservative people had been registered Republicans for a long time up through and maybe including 2016. Maybe this was different in the 90's or 00's and may have worked then?

This has become institutional.

And FYI it's not a paradox that you can 'care about diversity' and still be bullied by activists.

Major corporations are making requirements for panels at conferences etc. and it can get very complicated.

A female documentarian in Montreal just quit the industry over the institutional rejection of her work which focused on homelessness and happened to be mostly 'white men' due to requirements of diversity.

In my own discussions with 'executive level people' I find that they are generally of the classically liberal type (think European liberal). Basically - they are nice, upper middle class white men who actually do 'care' about such things, but generally are not exactly well read or super thoughtful on the issue. They're not 'up on the lingo' and are very, very afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing. The 'right thing' is effectively forced upon them, and they generally act to placate angry voices and want it to all go away, like a Father caving to his teenagers angry demands about this that, hoping that tomorrow it will all just go away.

I've heard, even my own very white, executive golf club member say the most 'woke' things lately it's almost made me laugh, when I inquire about it, it's clear they have no idea what they are saying, they are repeating the argument made to them by someone with a more radical view.

Because there is no 'pushback' on the issue (everyone is afraid), then things get out of tilt.

I'm not sure what the end-game is, but it would be nice if there were some kind of 'centrist' and defensible ideal that people could appeal to that enables execs to make thoughtful decisions about diversity but that aren't based on 'caving out of fear to activism'.
Uh, i wrote "viewport width is not the same as the monitor width", this is the same as what you wrote.

As for why it is wrong, it is because you can't rely on it to make a Mobile vs Desktop distinction - i already provided an example why.
Interesting, just looked through notsureaboutpg's reply to your comment and it seems like someone has gone through and systematically downvoted(?) all of their comments (now marked as dead). Why?
The problem as I see it is you have developers that are willing to copy ideas, steal text and other IP. Do you really want to be installing apps from devs that have what appears little moral character? What are they doing with your data once you install the app?
While this is not a country specific issue it would help if Apple allowed its users to block countries they don’t trust to download apps from the start.

Again though, the retail investors unload to who?

That might bring it back to actual people. If you can't even tell which pop artist is real, or which talking head is legitimate, maybe you trust the people you know. We go back to trusting that newspaper that you pay, who in turn pays someone to actually be on the ground somewhere. And trusting people you personally know IRL. No more of this reporting on things the journalist read about on twitter and read a press release about.

Drew was not talking about people not liking Wayland, not wanting to use Wayland, or having criticisms of Wayland.

He was talking about the bullying and abuse that many people think they are entitled to hand out, just because because.

I have no opinion on Wayland - I use what ever is in front of me, but I share the disgust at the bullying.

Nice feature set! Usually I don't care for yet-another-distro, but I think these folks are prioritizing multimedia, gaming, and other "linux on the desktop" features that I don't see much of these days.
Maybe GNOME doesn’t work for your precious use-case. More likely, it does work, and you swallowed some propaganda based on an assumption which might have been correct 7 years ago.

GNOME works for almost everyone. Most of the lies you’ve heard about ways that it’s broken are just that: lies. And if you insist on living in that fantasy, then keep it to yourself.
>There should be some low level implementation that pops up a box asking the user if they wish to allow that app to do that

I'm not sure what you mean. This is actually exactly what is being done in GNOME and KDE's wayland implementations.

There is another loophole to this loophole. Yes, there is a requirement that the jury come from people who live in the area, but that does not extend to saying that they have to have been living there at the time of the crime. If push comes to shove, the government can probably arrange to have a sufficient jury pool move into the area prior to jury selection. It would be a comically expensive thing to do but possible.
I'm not a lawyer, but I've listened to several podcasts!

If you have planned the murder with someone else, that is a conspiracy, which is a serious crime in itself. You don't even need to attempt the murder.

If you were just premeditating in your own mind, that is not a crime. Though it might be a factor in sentencing for the actual crime.

If the premeditation involves writing down plans with maps etc, then... I haven't listened to that episode yet.
I suspect at least some of the audiophiles, if not all, are highly sensitive persons [0]. I wonder if anyone bothered to study this possibility.

>Facebook was going to compete with Google for some advertising sales but backed away from the plan after the companies cut a preferential deal, according to court documents.

>Facebook executives outlined the company’s options to Mark Zuckerberg...: hire hundreds more engineers and spend billions of dollars to compete against Google; exit the business; or do the deal.

It's one of many things FB and G did together. Even more are listed in the antitrust lawsuit against Google.
