Intriguing, but: I don't think it's working as intended from my Brave browser. After about 2 seconds of blue/green pings that seem faster than should be possible (<10ms), it goes full red. It does work in Chrome! (Perhaps,

To some extent, the circulation of natural flu cases, of routine non-severe varieties, serves as a natural 'booster' refreshing immunity against related strains. For example, every once in a while, a new flu strain hits a certain

There are only-partially-understood immune processes that go by the names 'trained immunity' or 'bystander immunity' - where encountering one infectious agent (including just an immunogenic vaccine) can "rev up&quot

This is false. If you're doing WARC correctly, HTTP resources/responses are stored verbatim . Perhaps the only possible purer format would be packet captures, say of the full HTTPS session, along with the session keymatter and co

Ensure your outsourcing is not in SF. The outsourcing firm CEO pays themself whatever damn multiple they like. Voila, SF keeps all the cushy jobs they like, makes the working poor someone else's problem.

I agree it's batty reasoning! For example, what if we assume for a moment that this makes sense from a crime-fighting perspective. That is, the marginal value of future-crime prevented by withholding the cryptocurrency is greater than

Oddly enough, in the case of other "Anonymity-Enhanced Cryptocurrencies" ("AECs"), the DoJ has taken the position that they'd rather not recirculate them. See < https://twitter.com/jerrybrito/

Dan was a curious, brilliant, gentle giant. He will be missed. In 2001, he wanted the VC firm he was a young partner at to invest in my way-early & mispositioned P2P startup, Bitzi. His partners gave good feedback, but passed, probably

Yes, and there is also some risk of process errors introducing infections, and of course the same resources ($, professional time) might better create more health/longevity if directed elsewhere.

If you have to supply your own less-apologetic paraphrase ("sorry you feel offended"), rather than quote any such constructions in the actual text, is that really a fair reading? Other than the apparently-magic word 'sorry&#x

I maintain that "we apologize" and "we are sorry" are identical in meaning, except to those straining to be ungenerous, always demanding "just a bit more" prostration than was offered. Your compact "good a

This seems nitpicky. Saying "we apologize" multiple times is the same as "we're sorry". They've said their communications were in error in the way they described the complaints, the status of the investigation,

If the 'target' is OK with a more-critical, even a hyperbolically- or teasingly- critical tone, why not allow it? Lots of big personalities carry on 'feuds' that are largely acts, to their mutual. The back-and-forth, eve

Immunity absolutely decays in many cases unless refreshed. For example, many vaccines require later booster shots. See also the strong evidence around a "boosting" effect from circulating chickenpox cases. Namely, that the availab

Note, though: circulating cold & flu viruses serve to "boost" prior immunity via new mild/asymptomatic cases each year. Without these, immunities are decaying. So it's possible that when more normal interchange with

Are you saying you've ramped up to taking 52000IU of Vitamin D per day over several years? That seems excessive; what motivated that choice, and are you monitoring (including with blood testing) for negative side-effects?
