I don't think that's likely. It would be a suicidal PR move. If anything is going to shake up law enforcement and regulators it's these megacorps holding things hostage because they don't want to comply.

The immune system is very large and complicated, it has lots of ways to deal with infections outside of antibodies.

You don't need it everywhere. With both exceptions and error monads, you can have a happy-flow path that mostly leaves out the boilerplate, and handle errors at a reasonable point. Go forces you to add even if you want to defer handlin

It's much less important in postgres as in some other databases, but it still hurts. Mainly because indices have to be updated and searched all over the place with UUIDs. The locality of the data on disk itself is fine because its inse

Yes. Even if we pump up all remaining oil and turn it into plastic, the CO2 impact will be negligible, because the carbon will remain captured in the (non-degrading) plastics.

If the insider can have access to the keys it's not end-to-end encryption.

Physically you could have wheeled animals, but wheels just won't evolve. They are perfect for somewhat smooth surfaces where you want to travel in a somewhat straight line. Organisms just cannot confine themselves to that and survive.

Arms+hands and a head with a similar face though. A head is pretty universal because eyes are so important and a feeding hole near your sensory organs is a massive advantage. Having hands seems almost a pre-requisite to become truly intelli

2 people in the placebo group died with a covid infection and 1 in the vaccinated group. That is way to little data to even remotely make such a bold claim. Or, if I follow your flawed logic, Covid vaccines reduce mortality by 50%!

There has been shown a little bit of drop-off, but that is in the range of 95% to 80-90%, so still strong. Hard to say because the mutation in circulation have changed.

This does not seem like a useful source to draw this conclusion. 14/15 persons of both group died, but I do not see whether it was related to Covid. edit : 2 unvaccinated people with covid died 1 vaccinated. Point stands. 45.000 peopl

I don't understand these insanely long password requirements. How are they more secure than say a strong 8-char password? Even with a 12 password policy I see most people just using 'MyP@ssword2021', so I guess with 64 charac

So that's a little bit more or roughly comparable to the highest paid engineering positions in FAANG. He deserves 10x more at least.

That seems like a good way to miss infections (and get people back to work, which is probably the point). The tests seem to have a high false-negative rate. Assuming independence and 25% FN rate, a second test will miss an additional 20% of

It's not even JS. I'd argue a HTML + inline JS page is a lot more self-contained than one with external images, videos and fonts. Note that PDFs can contain JS too.

Just because someone shouted an idea without proof that later might turn out to be partially right doesn't make it OK if shouting that idea was dangerous. If I shout fire in the cinema and 1 minute later a fire starts it was still a ba

What's the alternative? Let the pandemic rage on for a few more years, wait till everyone has been affected or dead, and then vaccinate? Oh wait, that will have the exact same problem, because as more and more people get natural immuni

True, but causation isn't a stretch. The father bonding with the child and getting experienced with childcare could be a destressor for the marriage.
