Dude, Pfizer can make a mRNA vaccine but that doesn't mean if I follow their directions I can.

This guy is a total amateur. He bought some proteins, diluted them then shot them in his nose. That's not science.

And I also question his methods. Simply shooting a small peptide into your nose is unlikely to elicit any major immune response. Cells in your respiratory tract excrete proteases. I'm guessing those peptides get chewed up pretty quickly. You need to develop and validate some sort of delivery mechanism.

The goal of not disavowing a first strike was to deter a conventional attack. If your explicit policy is "we will only use nukes if you use nukes" then the implicit policy is: you can invade Europe without fear of nuclear escalation.

Instead of being upset at hypothetical nuclear fallout that never happened, we should look at the policy as a massive success at preventing war from happening.
Sure, some people could have a preference. People rarely hire me do portraits of their children, and I straight up don’t do newborns as there are plenty of women that basically specialize in it.

But that’s just the point. People can hide men with their search parameters, but not women. Some people might actually prefer a man to shoot their wedding. Like you said, adding the ability to mark search for male owned businesses would make it all completely ok, in my opinion.

As an aside I’m often in the room when the bride is getting dressed, and of course it’s completely up to them. It’s just like any other profession that might see people naked - you handle it professionally, and you’re too busy doing your job to “enjoy” it. I’ve also done boudoir but don’t actively advertise it as that’s an uphill battle, but there are great male boudoir photographers.

The bridesmaids themselves (almost) always dress in private whether the photographer is a guy or girl.
Who would control the listing of a company’s shares? A startup can choose to simply not make itself available.

It's a shame, because if this kind of thing had caught on, VoIP calls could be substituted for PSTN calls and the user wouldn't have to notice. Imagine calling amazon.com and getting their customer support line either via PSTN or via VoIP (provided you/they have e.g. SIP accounts, which obviously isn't a good assumption now but would sure be an easier transition in this hypothetical world).

Even better: imagine being able to set reverse DNS in this scenario. I call someone who doesn't have me in their address book, and their phone shows "<my nickname>.tel".

"Most appointments offered at the major county-run vaccination sites will be needed for second doses, according to Dr. Paul Simon, chief science officer for the L.A. County Department of Public Health. At the county’s five mega-PODs, or mass points of distribution, only a very limited number of people will be able to receive their first doses Monday. "

The US is rapidly reaching the point where, if your state gets 100,000 doses next week, then only 50,000 people will get a first dose. The other 50,000 will get their second doses.

Since the UK started dosing a few weeks before us, and they recently decided to delay the second dose for 12 weeks, I expect increased pressure for the US to decide the same.

The article has some good news for California, though: "Officials said the state is expecting a vaccine allocation of more than 1 million doses next week, and a similar amount the week after. Previously, the state had been allocated roughly 300,000 to 500,000 doses per week." So then the state can vaccinate 500,000 (of it's 30 or so million unvaccinated) per week. Thus, April 2022 is roughly California's target date.

Know, Prevent, Fix: Framework for shifting the discussion around vulnerabilities
If they've reached the point where they actually have to use nuclear weapons in a MAD scenario, that political leader in question has failed at doing their job utterly, and completely irredeemably. It's a complete and utter betrayal of both their constituents, and the responsibility the world entrusted in them.

Why preface this with an "if" like it is a hypothetical where we don't know what happened? It is history now and we know how it turned out. MAD worked, there was never a nuclear war or major conflict between superpowers.

Political leaders didn't fail and have been redeemed. Their constituents weren't betrayed, and the world moves on.

We are doing research into cost. This stuff gets massively cheaper every year. It's cheaper and easier than ever to build a 16nm fab.

Profit oriented companies take those cost savings and choose to drive further down the technology stack (to more complex and expensive nodes), where there are fewer competitors that have enough profits to build competing production lines.

Moore's law is almost our friend here. Being at 3nm instead of 16nm is decreasingly important.

Isn't it possible your body would have the same response if it was exposed to a variant of a virus that it already has antibodies for?

Maybe the explanations are simplified but I don't quite understand how the immune system could fail to recognise permutations of proteins or any other differentiating factor between COVID-19, its variants and mRNA vaccines; nor what makes this specific example of vaccination riskier.
Ha! I do believe they cleaned up the drivers roughly around that time. I got my 5600XT in April 2020 and have not had any issues with it. Of course there's luck of the draw, too, but I read a lot of early adopters of the 5600/5700 cards had some issues with drivers.

Looking on eBay, it looks like I could sell that $290 card for about $500...
It is all about risk/reward.

Covid is very deadly right now, it is the leading cause of death in several countries, including the US. If you catch covid, it roughly doubles your chances of dying for the year, and without a vaccine, it will happen eventually.

It means that even an "unsafe" vaccine, you are better off taking a shot.

On the other hand, a flu shot has to be extremely safe, because the flu is much less deadly, and the flu vaccine seems to be less effective than the covid vaccine. So most vaccines are pretty close to perfectly safe, the covid one, maybe a bit less so, but it is still worth it.

The thing is that we are biased. We will focus on the one person the vaccine has killed, but not the ten others the vaccine has saved. Just like with the trolley problem, will you throw someone under a bus if it can save five people?

Anecdotally, I'm still running a computer I mostly bought in 2011, i5-2500K still going strong, but the motherboard has a few issues: one of the PCI-E slots works sometimes, one of the RAM slots is completely broken, and the RTC seems to lose a few minutes a week.

CPUs should go pretty much forever, provided they're run on clean power. They're a little square, entirely encased. Motherboards are bigger and with physical connectors you need to use force on.

That's a general rule of thumb, but it's not a law. There are innovations that are non sequels of previous developments. Sometimes inventors think differently than anyone else.

The idea that multiple companies were "almost" on the edge of mRNA vaccines is pretty much proven false by the place the two existing companies got the tech - from the pair of people who developed it, one for each company.

Both APL and K enjoy substantial industry use in financial and heavy industry companies. J much less so, but it is more mathematically inclined (and is open source). APL's and J's cores are very similar apart from their character sets. J has substantially more primitives, especially pertaining to mathematics.

K is architecturally distinct, in that it does not have true multidimensional arrays. It instead uses lists of vectors. This is logical given its main use case: finance, i.e. analysis of rather long series of low-dimensional data. Q is syntactic sugar on top of K.

I've taken a whopping one class about immunology, so I'm not even remotely qualified. But maybe I'm just qualified enough to call this nonsense.

The author is planning to take a "test". What test? The standard lab tests are some proprietary qualitative test looking for antibodies to a specific synthetic antigen. For a (new, untested!) vaccine, this is a dubious experiment at best. The vaccine could produce an amazing antibody response that doesn't trigger the test, or it could produce a tiny, useless response that happens to trigger the test. And the test is unlikely to give numbers.

But this vaccine is using short-ish peptides. There are two (at least? I think just two) different types of T-cell receptor, and they are sensitive to different lengths of peptide. Testing for those is complicated and expensive.

I don't know how one would find a lab to do the relevant tests, but it's probably not so easy.
The UK regulator published the first set of data from the rollout of both the Pfizer and AZ vaccines today: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid...

> The MHRA has received 101 UK spontaneous adverse reactions associated with anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reactions with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccination. All patients have recovered from the anaphylaxis episode. 13 reports of anaphylaxis have been received for the COVID-19 Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccine to date.

> As of 24 January, an estimated 5.4 million first doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and 1.5 million doses of the Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccine had been administered, and around 0.5 million second doses, mostly the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, had been administered.

I bought 12 2070's for our render farm, and the account manager thought I was crazy. The 3000 series had already launched and would come back in stock next month he said.

A week later they didn't have any Nvidia cards in stock, just none at all, luckily I had already bought all their 2070's or we would've run into delays.

Plenty of single payer systems (like where I live in Canada) don't cover this stuff either. The difference is is in the US it's an insurance company saying "no" and in Canada it's the gov't saying "no". And actually, since it's one system, the doctors already know it's not covered so it never comes up.

CoinLab's lawsuit is a big part of the reason why creditors with actual legitimate claims still haven't received their share of the remaining assets. Somehow CoinLab thinks their claim, which hinges on vague and unrealistic what-ifs, should have priority over Mt. Gox users who held dollar/cryptocurrency assets in their Mt. Gox accounts. Obviously CoinLab's ridiculous claims will eventually be thrown out, but it has severely delayed the insolvency proceedings and eventual distribution process.

Vessenes is not a "Bitcoin insider", he is a snake who seeks to steal billions from individual users who lost assets that they had held with Mt. Gox.

> The shortage is amplified by the us china tech war

I keep hearing this vague accusation, over and over, with no evidence provided.

Taiwan is not part of China -- at least as far as the sanctions are concerned.

China exports lots of finished electronics but very, very few semiconductors -- and virtually none for the automotive sector. SMIC is not competitive. They're kept afloat by the Chinese government and supply almost exclusively for domestic products.

> that forced key supplier asml to limit deliveries of chip making equipment.

Source?

> Also tsmc cancelled euv equipment orders due to the huawei ban:

How would that make any sense? TSMC is completely booked to the hilt right now. Would any sane person think "gee, that's a great cancel our expansion plans"

That $150 million ASML EUV scanner order that got cancelled was from SMIC, not TSMC:

https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/asml-delays-...

> Imagine a world where APIs are only called from inside proprietary binary blobs that are built and released by the API provider.

I don't have to imagine it. It exists, and it was created by people who insisted on building ridiculously complex software stacks which have made it increasingly difficult to write your own stack. And the few open source stacks are slowly winnowed down because it becomes a feature arms race and eventually the last option standing is the "free" crippled version of some corporate developed library.

Sending and receiving a DNS UDP query, and extracting your RR of interest, takes a few dozen lines of C code. (Using TCP is just as easy if not easier.) Now imagine doing something so simple, but first having to build the SSL and HTTP stacks (or, shudder, QUIC). Nobody would do it. Everybody would just use the same piece of software.

This is exactly how we ended up with Chrome and an unimaginably empowered Google. And it was for the same reasons--"imagine how easy it will be for a web developer to implement feature FOO if we simply added feature FOO to the browser and he could just call do.FOO!"
It's not surprising. Nobody coughed up the funds.

For example Trump simply went with ordering only 100 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine and said meh when asked about whether maybe in a country of 300+ million people they might happen to ... need a few extra ones.

The EU negotiated so hard that even though it ordered 400M from AstraZeneca, somehow they find it more important to fulfill other orders first.

It's too little too late. I understand that Bill Gates [0] can be so blasé easily, as for him it's just more of the same. Plus he has predicted it, he was directly trying to do something against these global health problems for at least a decade now. But this "inefficiency" - that thousands of people die of each day - is mind boggingly infuriating.
