Well hundreds of millions have already flowed into every major pharma company for development costs, so the price for tax payers in every contributing country is substantially higher than $40/person. That's just the price an indiv

Absolutely nothing likely. Honestly, this is a weird fucking hack. The update went out signed by Solar Winds. Somehow, they got this payload into the build-chain their developers use.

I think this is the wrong analogue. I absolutely would not trust Amazon or Microsoft with my personal data (I'm the type that hosts my own e-mail, sync, docs, etc.) Now for a BUSINESS, I could see the advantage in less maintenance cost

and yet we're already seeing people who've gotten this vaccine who had allergic reactions, enough to need epinephrine. A member of the medical staff in a hospital in Tennessee fainted on camera after getting the vaccine. 60 Minute

I don't think that's the issue. With any virus, your immune system grows countermeasures exponentially (memory t-cells, antibodies, protein complements) to stop it. These stick around after the virus is gone. It's an immune s

None of those came to market. Many did make it through trials. This is more about pushing this as a first onto the market so pharma companies can finally prove they're safe, and then making a shit ton of money on more vaccines after.

It's not just proteins. The cells infected with the mRNA present those proteins on the outside of the cell to be recognized by other cells which start a chain process. Skip to around 12:30 in here: https://www.youtube.com&#x

Big pharma companies have wanted mRNA vaccines for years. Others have been developed and even gone through trails that never got approved for markets. There are also trials for therapeutics such as inhaled steroids; something doctors in cer

When you're given a resume, do you look at the education, other that briefly? If it doesn't sound like an online program (e.g. University of Phoenix) I doubt most would notice. But then again, I never see resumes until someone ask

Almost seems like the writer treated the process like playing a video game, without all the pretty colors and sounds that give you that dopamine hit. I feel like I did get a lot out of my Computer Science degree. I got it in 2004 and I pick

I use to believe in UBI, but I think introducing UBI now would be an absolutely and complete disaster. UBI makes sense if there is zero resource scarcity. If we had working Fission reactors and were pulling asteroids into orbit to mine, it

The way the US is structured makes this very difficult. We're not a country of countries like the United Kingdom, but the US is a country of States. Despite our federal solidification over the past century, states still have a lot of a

Our election processes have never been fair. Big money has typically been the largest factor. This year solidifies it .. at least for half the population. The American psyche has been split in two by a corrupt and runaway media.

I feel like rural areas are going to keep their small businesses alive and well, while city restaurants and service industry will collapse. Seattle and Portland will be Detroit within 2 years. Even after COIVD, that type of devastation woul

I don't think it'd really be possible considering the way Facebook and Google do security. You couldn't have chat flowing through a paid provider's data center, and it's unlikely either would open up a paid option t

I agree. I wouldn't need to try it, but a good promotional video on the front page showing how it works and the UI after you sign up would be good. Add in the pricing at the end as well. What's free, what are the limits and how mu

I really fear that Linux might get left behind as Apple and Microsoft go after this ARMs-race (pun intended). At least Microsoft requires UEFI with their ARM offerings, but often the bootloaders are locked. I love Linux and I love running i

A PC = x86_64 + UEFI. They are have a lot of standard components. You can take any Linux boot USB and boot almost any PC with it and at least get a console if nothing else. A PlayStation 4 is x86_64 but is NOT a PC. Watch the Fail0ver video
