While Israel would be the #1 suspect as they want the JCPOA deal to fail, I would assume that some people in Iran are also against the deal and want it to see it fail, so an internal sabotage isn't really out of the question.

I have used Chrome for years with uBlock and I have not once since a single ad go through during launch. So realistically this "window" is most likely negligible, which make sense given how efficient and fast uBlock is. Maybe if y

That was my point exactly, and no one ever claims Safari's model is done for bad reasons, but if Google were to do something similar to Safari, they would get a ton of hate.

To be fair the only difference there seems to be from a future RC release of uBO that isn't even out yet, and also that has to do more with third-party tracking cookies more so than ad-blocking, so most users probably wouldn't not

The irony is that this is the model the new Chrome API was going towards, and Apple has been using it forever, but when Google goes to do it, everyone has tinfoil theories about how Google is specifically doing it to kill ad-block extension

Not sure I would really characterize that as a "win" for Nike. Barely even status-quo.

But given this math, everyone will always see a drop after the 4th year. You can kinda level off the drop if you get promoted exactly as your initial grant runs off, but that's mostly coincidence. If you get your promo grant a year soo

But given the explanation above, everyone would see a drop after year 4, regardless or promotions. If you happen to get a promotion and a big refresh perfectly timed with that initial grant ending, you may be able to level off the cliff, bu

To be fair, while this is a single article, if you only look at step 1, 2 and 3, you get a fully published package with only one tool used (flit) and not much extra. It's the succeeding sections (A, B, C, D, E) that get more advanced,

Is that the experience of someone who actively used it for a period of time or of someone who just heard of it offhandedly. The latter would clearly only hear of the memes and trolling, since those bubble out much more than helpful answers.

From that same study: > The study suggested that even the first dose of vaccine was 80% effective at preventing infection Which is within the error bar of J&J's one dose result in the US (75%). We will have to see the results of

by ehsankia 6y ago
80% with one dose seems right in line with 75% with one dose of J&J (in the US). For what it's worth, J&J is also now doing a phase trial of two doses, and I expect that to be around 90% too. So yes, once you take into account

by ehsankia 6y ago
Those are great, though they are pretty early results. I think in both cases, they finished giving the 2nd dose around February, so we've only had around 1 month of data. I'm a little confused by the percentage though. Looking at

Right, but as the comment above was pointing out, there are many other factors. Pfizer/Moderena both did their trial from July-November, whereas J&J did their phase 3 from Sept-January. Looking at the COVID case graph [0], you can

by ehsankia 6y ago
Not only that, J&J is also doing a trial for 2nd shot, as well as some places such as UK ended up doing Pfizer/Moderna with one shot only with delayed 2nd shot (3-4 months later). So we'll see how that works out, there may be

Right, unless you do a full trial with all vaccines side by side with similar sample/timeline, it's not really possible to tell. Also, the error bar on these effectiveness numbers are realistically probably +/- 5% or more, so
