It would also help to read Marx's Das Kapital at the same time, that way you can plough through two equally discredited economic theories and get them out of the way before you move on to actually reading something worthwhile.

At the time these studies were being created the idea that PV solar would be cost-effective and that battery tech would progress to the point where it provided a viable path to grid-scale energy storage was deep into 'magic bullet&#x27

No, it is far more likely at that point that you will just trot out some other excuse.

The largest internet services on the planet were using LXC containers for production ops before you ever heard of the term 'docker'. In its earliest iterations it was easier to push a container to production than to run it on you

No, I will be surprised if the critique is retracted. The pro-invermectin tribe have gone all-in on this particular lie and no amount of science is going to change their minds. You are wrong. The invermectin-pushers are wrong. In a few m

A group of politically-motivated actors who have an interest in the other side of the argument think they have found serious errors? Color me shocked. Sorry, but I don't believe anyone in the BIRD group. Guess we will wait for the re

Sorry, I assumed you might actually read the study and not skim the overview. The main takeaway from the first is that the quality of available studies is extremely poor, there are significant confounding variables in almost all of the sur

I am not celebrating, but I do not think it is some grand conspiracy or worthy of much note. Given the amount of 'this is the magic bullet, I am sure of it this time' bullshit that we have all had to put up with for over a year fr

The problem is that he has no qualifications or data to indicate that it is effective for this specific use. Invermectin was developed as an anti-parasite treatment as a variant of something discovered by the microbiologist in question. Le

There are also meta-analysis that show invermectin to be ineffective and even deadly. Perhaps you should educate yourself regarding the different meta-analysis available and how they differ (in particular, the one you cite is noted for its

A Nobel laureate does not need Youtube to get a message out, unless they are peddling conspiracy-grade bullshit. Youtube gets to be the arbiter of what content gets shared over Youtube. Don't like that? Too bad.

There are some bad studies that suggest it might be effective and some equally questionable studies that indicate it raises the risk of death. Right now there are two meta-analysis that come to different conclusions based on how they weight

And if it turns out that people are using youtube to convince others to take a treatment that is ineffective and leads to death and injury (including through replacement of known-good treatment with an ineffctive placebo) then those people

This is how the technology from which Bram derived the core of the BitTorrent architecture (MojoNation, where he worked prior to releasing BitTorrent) worked, and it was a failure. When storage is abstracted away from the publisher in this

The problem is that your 'developer workflow' sounds like you are assuming a particular level of insecurity that is unwarranted. Learn about the principle of least authority and try to apply it to your workflows. None of the appl

It is almost certainly the case that current IP law is very unsettled when it comes to machine learning models and mechanisms that encode a particular training set into the output or mechanism for input transformation. What should probably

There are far more current precedents that apply here, and they do not trend in Github's favor -- as I noted previously, Williams v. Gaye (9th Cir. 2017) is going to be very interesting in this case. I am sure several people in Microso

No, the code generated is what copyright law calls a derivative work and you should go ask Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams exactly how much slack the courts give for 'sufficiently transformative new work.

If it is your site then you will be able to bypass the fraud detection, and if it is not your site then the site owner probably does not consider these legitimate use cases to be concerned about.

And I am sure we are all in agreement that this has absolutely nothing to do with pushback on FLoC and increased attention from regulators...
