With no intent to dismiss the science is there a risk of this encouraging morphological evolution of viral forms which bypass the commonalities? I have high hopes of this working and prolonging useful antiviral protection but isn't thi

Because we include people who dislike the hype machine and the initial "it's alive" push triggered a reaction, coupled with a different reaction to what we might call legitimate fears of dis-intermediation: much code is deriv

An immense amount of graffiti in Europe is overtly political. And in south America. I know from personal experience. Crete is a hotbed of radicalism and has a massive amount of antizionist graffiti. South America has anti junta statements a

Interesting. I assumed he wasn't. Bad assumption. I don't think he gave a "rivers of blood" speech but that doesn't let him off the hook. Maybe the difference was LKY got to be in control and Powell just got to watc

Agree to precautionary principle. Disagree to certainty of fixing because this is a long standing leak which just doubled in intensity: either it got bigger, or there are more. Either way, we have no reason to be optimistic a bigger leak pr

Fame has it's downsides. "Paper Moon" was fantastic and she was fantastic in it, but maybe she'd have been happier one and done. Some kids work it out.

Nobody speaking up for rote learning but embedding core knowledge for recall has a role. Simply having recall that 1+1=2 and then inductance, not Bertrand Russel day #1. Same with literacy. Depoliticised it needs phonics and whole-word. And

If you proposed global harmonisation of food to equalise costs and ensure equitable access to food, apart from "but that's socialism!" complaints nobody would mind. Wastage in food production and distribution is huge. Economi

It's very unlikely any mainstream political class is going to take serious action anywhere to forbid them, but a few take action to limit them. Too few I think. The (mis-attributed to Lenin and Stalin) quote "The capitalists will

I think this is a bitter pill to swallow for many because a more liberal sense of multiculturalism in AU and UK allowed enclaves to emerge which have now become intensely divisive where a less open "multiculturalism but conform to our

Completely harmless needs contextualising. In gross sense, no: damage to property is not harmless, it has consequences, costs. In personal safety terms sure tagging isn't mugging. If you're down Proudhon's "all property

Eh, you're right. It's just a bugbear for me, tagging and social cohesion decline feels like a parallel, but it may be my projection. I'm in Crete right now and it's decaying beauty, no money for streetscape fixes, bad p

Absolutely agree. There's a lot of "yes, but.." in this for me, but the simple economics are pretty clear: post colonial asian states like this do fantastically well. Cost of housing in HK is going to be an embuggerance if th

Zimablade chose the same 12v/2a power. It's in the original spec for usb-c pd negotiation. Client side (device) sets the current draw. Weird take to not use the supplied psu.
