We would need to examine the research proposals, and the data rights included in them, and if any other institutions providing matching funds, that resulted in this drug.

Having said that, I broadly concur that we need to examine to what extent the federal government, and all of us taxpayers, should own outright some, or all as a % of the IP.

I think the browser plugin is a gigantic step. We're talking a whole new generation of browsers with native support having to roll in for this to gain traction, and most consumer traffic is mobile nowadays so it's not enough to ship to a PC and be satisfied there.

If it were to gain mainstream attraction it seems like we're talking at least five more years unless the chromium and safari teams pick this up and make it a priority.
Sue who?
A few years ago a tried using the browser's IndexedDB for my invoicing app and loaded a 1000 documents into it at a time. It did ok up to about 2-3k documents but choked the browser to the point of being unusable at 5k documents. That was on a Late `09 Mac Mini so maybe newer or more powerful PCs would do better, but that's not an issue at all if you're using CouchDB to store the data on the client side.

I use CouchDB installed on the client side to implement Offline First data storage. This works for Desktop PCs and if you run it on local device that's accessible via your local network, like a Raspberry Pi in-house for example, you can also use it with mobile devices in-house too.

The local CouchDB will sync with the Cloud based CouchDB as soon as they're both online. CouchDB will decide which version to keep and deliver it from that point.

It's certainly not perfect and doesn't provide "real time collaboration" but so far that's been out of reach anyway and may not be a very good approach at all. The notion of several people editing the same document at the same time seems to me to be chaotic no matter how you approach it.

The biggest downside to this approach is that the user has to install and configure CouchDB. I made a simple web app to help with this, but it's a bit too much to expect users to install and configure it.

What we need is a client side DB pre-installed that any web app can access and the data for that app is sandboxed and can only access the DB assigned to it. But it's not reasonable to add that to a web browser. CouchDB can do that now.

Debunking 'Havana Syndrome' propaganda: CIA mass hysteria plus crickets
>That's the effect of NHC and of molnupiravir. What about the bad side? Well, auxh nucleosides can also be taken up by many other enzymes, including those that handle our own nucleic acids, so some of them are mutagenic. Indeed, that's how NHC was first characterized, as a mutagen in bacteria. They also tend to be cytotoxic, via a number of mechanisms, and nucleoside drug candidates are notorious for wiping out in human trials due to toxicity in the liver, kidneys, and other organs. That was a feature of the 2012 scramble in the hepatitis C area, where Bristol-Myers Squibb paid 2.5 billion for a nucleoside addition to its proposed therapeutic cocktail, only to see it all demolished within a few months when it turned out to have severe problems in human trials. From this story and others you can also conclude that you don't necessarily get a good reading on this stuff in animal trials - another feature of Fun With Nucleosides.[0](Derek Lowe)

The article talks about this explicitly. It's a valuable design choice. When you have a graphical ceiling it means that even the best, most skilled Roblox games don't look better than the amateurish games kids first makes. That in turn means that a kids' first experience making a Roblox game feels like "my game looks like a real game!". That sensation is priceless.

> The James Grant that, in 2010, was one of the co-signers of the Open Letter to Bernanke:

Not sure if you are asking but yes that was him, and you can make a very good argument that those people were correct that QE should have been discontinued back in 2010. Lots of economists thought so at the time and yet here we are 15 years later and that QE is still on going.

At what point do you con sider him to be correct that its time to end QE, unless you think that continuous QE is a good thing?

I mean, like another poster pointed out, like him or not, What he writes get read by some of the most influential people on the planet.

If you are in government monetary policy you read his news letter, if you work for any sort of macro hedge fund you read his news letter. IF you are on the sell side you read his news letter for nothing more than to understand what your clients are thinking about.

You may not like him, but the top people at investment banks, hedge funds and central banks all read(and pay for that privilege) what he has to say.

In finance there are alot of people who have limited success, those who are good tend to have prolonged success and stick around. He's been writing for 4+ decades, in finance where the average career is 7 years or so that like 6 generations of traders who listen to him.

So if you are asking if its that James Grant then yes, one of the single most successful and influential people in finance, then yes that guy:)
In his Nobel-prize lecture, the Merck scientist William Campbell, talks about how Ivermectin was always intended to be used in humans.

Two relevant quotes from his speech are, "I had always insisted that our written departmental objectives would include
the development of new drugs for control of parasites in humans" and "The end of ivermectin is nowhere in sight."

> The hyperbole around this very serious situation just makes all the policies seem even more like theater.

One has to conclude that it is theater at this point. Because the science is pretty darn clear.

Interesting that nobody downvoting my comment (and yours) has posted a reputable and recent/current scientific source stating that:

1. Natural immunity is inferior to vaccine-based immunity.

2. Millions of Americans (perhaps 100 million according to a model developed by the CDC) haven't already had and recovered from COVID.

3. Vaccinated individuals can't become infected and spread the virus.

Many of the early ISPs played shell games with ad companies. NetZero is one of the most famously documented of the 90s dot-com age promising "free internet" with ads/MLM schemes, but they were one of the pack. The few I can recall today to google on the Bings, including NetZero, surprisingly still exist and survived the dot-com implosion as more traditional ISPs, but NetZero is the most useful example to give as it still bears the scars of its early scam-like history its own brand name. I don't think they've offered actual "zero dollar" service in more than a decade, but that's where their name originated.

I recall so many fly-by-night ads and ads+MLM schemes in the early internet, a lot of which I watched in Slashdot takedowns and teardowns at the time.
Google would have been a frontend, like any other neobank. Plex accounts would have been offered by Citi, BBVA (RIP), and other chartered financial institutions. No consolidation necessary, or worth it; retail banking is so heavily regulated that it's more of a loss-leader for other products that actually make money.
Oh your google account was disabled for covid misinformation (or some other reason), so you cannot access your money anymore. I wold trust amazon to do this more than google.
It's great tech. Same next generation Iridium network is used for offshore maritime, aviation, land mobile data, etc. Lots of places where a traditional two way VSAT is much too large. Its main market competition is the INMARSAT I-4 and I-5 series satellites and BGAN network.

The main problem with it is the very high dollars per megabyte cost. If you're a billionaire or a nation state with a $30 million Gulfstream jet and an Iridium terminal on it you probably don't care. But it can be cost prohibitive for any appreciable amount of data transfer from remote scientific systems.
No. You will never be able to get this to enough of the people who need it when they need it. By the time most people seek treatment it is too late for antivirals to be effective.

Even if that wasn't the case, there us too much political momentum behind mandates in the US for this to change the course.
Yes, exactly. If it's specified in the smart contract, that's what everyone signed up for, even if they didn't understand the bug.

If people signed a paper contract and a software system was designed to implement the contract, but the software system erroneously (through a bug) did something that went against the contract, that would be an erroneous payment.
But if the code is the contract in a smart contract, bugs aren't contract errors.
Looks like the clinical trial was for age 18 and above so an EUA probably would not allow use in children.
You've set yourself apart from the 'grifters' in the Web3 space in your comment but didn't explain much more than that about current use-cases. Could you elaborate on what it is you're making that's so unique?

Edit: Thanks for the interfacing explanation btw, very clear and concise.
>Society changes and evolves. With it, we start recognising and understanding ever-smaller demographic groups

It is not a natural change. It is being forced on people. Words and understandings of concepts change of course, but in the past society would slowly start accepting the change. Now a days when a word changes if you don't start using the new definition that day you are a bigot. People don't do well with sudden change.

> There was a time when making jokes at the expense of women was ok, there was a time when making fun of gays was ok, there was a time when mocking trans people was ok... now it's not.

Jokes are jokes. If it is wrong to make a joke about women then it is wrong to make a joke about men. Anything else is sexist discriminatory double standards. Either you can joke about anything or nothing.

>It's just society developing empathy. Think most people understand that how we see other groups of people is not a fixed thing.

Society is losing empathy. We used to understand people could make mistakes and improve themselves. Now the first time you make an innocent mistake you are canceled. You are thrown out of polite society and defamed on social media. That is the opposite of empathy.

>People are getting "called out" and "cancelled" more than ever, for sure. But I don't think it's necessarily victimhood. Given the original topic, it's interesting that this is how you're attributing intent.

The person you were responding to was not saying that a person being canceled is a victim (though they possibly believe that). They were saying that people cancel other people so the person doing the canceling can play the victim regardless if they actually took offense.

>Do you feel that there might be genuine reasons for acting the way they do? Could the grievances be genuine?

I don't think anybody would deny some people are offended about things. I just don't think that matters. If I say hello to somebody and they are offended by that should I be canceled for it?
Teleport is kinda magic. Unified remote access is a super tricky problem, and nothing I know of solves it quite as neatly as Teleport does. Latacora clients either solve a simplified problem (because they don't have the hard mode version yet and they can cobble together what they need with e.g. AWS SSM + RDS w/ IAM), use Teleport, or don't have a great answer here.

I've known Sasha ('alexk) for the better part of a decade, they and the entire team there is great.
remember that in exponential growth, halving the people going to hospital buys you one extra doubling time. (ie, if numbers increase every two weeks, halving the growth buys you two extra weeks.) You need to make sure that the growth has stopped, not just halved.
It baffles me that their fraud alert texts include a callback number. It's like training users to be gullible.

It should say "Call us back at the number on the back of your card", or some such.

I'm sure they're afraid that a lot of users won't figure that out, but it still seems like a weird tradeoff.
HN'ers think Blue Origin is an interesting topic, I guess.

So far, it's a clear failure, but in this business everyone is a couple bad decisions away from failure anyway.
if they did a SIM swap that means that they compromised the user's phone, if I'm not mistaken.
My point is if you simply don't consult the paid sources in the first place, you don't have an attribution crisis (and then presumably the world gets better and suddenly we have flying cars because 100% of academic research becomes accessible and checkable by all). If we don't read them, we have no need to cite them. Many fields (especially CS) are at the point where you can 100% avoid a trip to the library (or to JSTOR) because the amount of readily available free sources (free as in free for non academics). Even older papers like those by Turing are all available free online and are thus completely fair game to cite without any guilt, and then literally everything new worth citing these days is in arXiv anyway. At least in computing, I guarantee 99% of the time you can find an alternative (and probably better) free citable source for [insert fact here].

When we cite a paywalled paper, we muddy the integrity of our field by saying "sure, you can check up on this, if you pay that is". The downstream effects of everyone doing this is that there are quite simply more inaccuracies out there in current publications. Replication studies literally become more expensive because to replicate 1000 papers, you have to get by 1000 * x paywalls, so we get less replication studies, so the field suffers. If we want accurate research, everyone needs to be able to access every single citation without issue or highway robbery just in case a janitor without JSTOR access finds a flaw in one of your citations' differential equations.

This also leads to the (damaging) centralization of power -- only large institutions can afford to do things like replication studies, and only academics at large institutions can afford to read paywalled citations. It's like we're living in the dark ages. This made more sense when paper and printing were incredibly expensive, like 300 years ago.

In this way, institutions paying for these subscription memberships actually does damage, since they are keeping this model profitable. They are subsidizing the destruction of integrity in fields they care about.
You can verify that one bitcoin you have today will not be diluted by more than a certain amount tomorrow. Value is based on people’s value of the object though, and I wouldn’t necessarily bet on Bitcoin keeping that over the long term.

This drug will be a big blow to those that support further lockdowns and plans for divided society based on vaccination status. The logic for coerced vaccine mandates was already on shaky ground. This will help to defeat it. If theres an effective treatment, you can't force emergency use a vaccine.

>Not a fan of the "you should educate yourself" retort

Also not a fan of this. My response would be something along the lines of:

"I'm not going to 'educate' myself on your delusional beliefs for the same reason I'm not going to 'educate' myself when my schizophrenic uncle tells me to learn more about the 5G towers tracking people's vaccine chips and giving everyone cancer."
Yes - eSIM is just the same keys used in 3GPP, but distributed differently.

You could do a "SIM swap" to a traditional SIM in exactly the same way, using phone customer support or retail store IT.
There are multiple ways to avoid this, such as using an app that saves those keys (eg Authy) or using recovery keys.
And what’s the recovery method for the authentication app? If it involves SMS...

I think your application link is broken
No, I really don't think it can. Literally nothing in the marketing copy describes this use case -- it's all about backup/archival use applications. And the bit in the TOS you quoted makes it clear that Wasabi isn't interested in high-bandwidth customers at any price point. Even with a good caching CDN, most public applications won't be able to hit the "egress < storage" target that Wasabi expects.
The parent poster is correct though. "Disengagement rate" is the term used in the industry, and what would get you results in google searches.
"Disconnect rate" is not what it's called, so it's helpful to correct that.
