   In all seriousness, why should a non-invasive diagnostic test require any sort of approval (particularly during an outbreak)? This is just RT-PCR if I understand correctly - there's nothing particularly novel going on here. Just publis

   I'm actually a bit puzzled by this. This is RT-PCR based, so why can't off the shelf lab supplies be used? Oligo synthesis commonly has next day turnaround at this point, so primers can't be the issue... Is this purely a regu

   This is weird. The Smithsonian page [1] says "Data hosting provided by AWS Public Dataset Program", and there's the Amazon blog post you linked, but the data set seems to be missing from the registry Amazon publishes. [2] I g

   I agree with your earlier point, but disputing the usage of the term computational filtering here is truly pedantic. Yes, by definition machine learning approaches are a subset of computational approaches, but there are clear differences in

   Prior art (ie publicly published examples) invalidates patents, at least in the western world. To that end, if you invent something that you don't intend to patent you should publicly write about it if possible.

   I question the enforceability of such a patent - it seems like a mere technicality of phrasing. For example, on Facebook you send someone a friend request which has to be agreed to by them before additional functionality is unlocked. I don&

   Thanks for taking the time to respond, compilers are always interesting to learn about! Point 7 was (finally!) addressed by C11. Points 6, 8, 9, 10, & 11 are all good ones that hadn't occurred to me. It seems like points 1, 4, &amp

   There's an important difference here between canned food and pretty much everything else. Expiry dates tend to be early for perishable goods, but IMO this is analogous to buildings being overengineered. Canned goods, on the other hand,

    Refusal of large email providers to properly federate is certainly frustrating, but I was actually referring to the network layer in the OSI model. So long as the raw IP traffic isn't subject to broad and pervasive restrictions by the

    Thanks for another clear explanation of process! But... the fact that there isn't some standardized automated revocation procedure that all CAs are required to support at this point seems somewhat absurd to me. At a minimum, it seems l

    I'll agree that modern mainstream browsers (and devices!) have an increasingly centralized security model that isn't at all conducive to an open web. But given the current state of the FOSS ecosystem, I'm not terribly concern

    I think there's an underlying assumption that your server, your DNS registrar, and all the CAs present in your root store are trustworthy. It may not be a particularly safe assumption, but it's presumably better than unverified TL

    Is there not already a standard procedure for certificate revocation on domain ownership transfer? It seems like there really should be - even a 13 month expiry is hardly enough to prevent intentional abuse.

    I agree with your overall point and appreciate the clear explanation. However, I'd like to suggest that perhaps what you describe as "merely precautionary changes" should never occur on anything less than a ~2 year timescale

    ResearchGate wasn't linking me back to the original point of publication, and the DOI doesn't seem to be valid (yet?). It turns out this was uploaded to the Chinese arXiv equivalent on the 19th. http://www.chinaxiv.org&

    I think you misascribe the intent here; in medicine, symptoms and circumstances are correlative (and must be interpreted in a manner consistent with that). For example, chest pain correlates with heart attacks but many other causes exist as

    I'd quibble that it's your customers that fall under American jurisdiction, and that in order to retain them you voluntarily choose to adhere to the applicable regulations. Naturally US companies wouldn't be legally permitted

    Wouldn't it only prevent formal legal entities (ie US companies) from making purchases? End users could trivially purchase via non-US payment services, and I don't see how the US could actually prevent "import" or use of

    PGP most certainly _does_ provide data at rest encryption. Efail isn't relevant here - it's a live exploit against an active target, not something that can be used against data at rest for which you lack the keys. And forward secr

    In the US, GSM (ie 1G and 2G) are already more or less gone; 3G (UMTS) is in the midst of the shutdown process. In the EU, however, it looks like Vodafone intends to provide 2G through at least 2025. https://www.multitech.com&#x2
