Somewhat-related question: what would be the simplest (meaning least and/or easiest to understand code), cross-platform, but non-browser way to create a window to plot points and shapes such as the ones in the article? And is a particu

It creates a more neutral impression of the vaccines efficacy. The use of the term "breakthrough case" seems entirely geared toward downplaying ineffectiveness. Why not simply call it failure when the vaccine fails?

Your criticism comes across as very close to what you're criticising. You've provided only your anecdotal evidence, whilst creating another "they" - "one of those people" - that you same-breath decry as the to

To enjoy an interesting and arguably also somewhat more accurate experience reading articles such as these, try mentally replacing the term "vaccine breakthrough" with "vaccine failure". Going to hospital is not protecti

I would guess that by involving Elixir the intention may not be so much about learning how to set up a single home weather station, but on development foundations scalable beyond a single device/data source and client.

So, "their credentials cannot be examined or questioned" yet "they clearly aren't qualified in the field based on the quality of the analysis"? Why, according to you are they worth and not worth examining?

Well, to be fair it also came from billionaires, hedge funds and financial institutions getting in much later than you did, along with at least some genuine utility, some of which benefits people suffering in corrupt political regimes.

HCQ can be effective when used early and in correct dosages, as shown in hundreds of peer-reviewed studies. One widely-publicised, large Lancet study claiming it was "unsafe" was later retracted as it turned out to be made up BS.

Current legacy media reporting on El Salvador indeed makes it seem as if the idea is wildly unpopular. That doesn't mean however, that this is reality. As for basket-cases; the USD money supply [0], and again, no real "news"

This seems a very important question, and I'm not finding answers to it satisfactory. To elaborate, why isn't an autopilot "aware" of whether the aircraft is taking-off/landing or in-flight? It seems completely mad
