I'm still not entirely convinced this wasn't an inside job (or entirely made up) and they just put a nice pot of money away somewhere. Wouldn't be without precedent in the wonderful world of crypto...

If we find out that one of the lab technicians in Wuhan that handled the viruses was a blood descendant of the Wuchang, well... :D

That can't really be claimed without knowing what damage the corruption is causing.

I think for that to be genuinely positive the items would be donated or sold to museums and galleries at barely marked up prices, rather than millions of dollars to private collectors. It's like the argument that corrupt charities are

And yet they've decided they should have the authority and mandate to do so. You can't automate good moderation.

Just about all occurrences have been so, it just depends what you believe. Entirely obvious irony in naming it 'Trusted News Initiative' like a good old 'Honest Al's Second-hand Cars!'

Fascinating. I don't know how anyone could say they're not doing anything wrong when selling artefacts they pay peanuts for physical retrieval of, to then on-sell for a fortune.

I'm not saying the developer is crap, I'm saying it didn't take 19 developers to do what he/she did . Each of those 19 developers could have been just as good, but the problem/requirement was likely very different

Exactly, that was my point. It's not that the engineer simply coded better than 19 other people together could, it's that other factors came into play. If the intent was to portray they are just a 19x developer... I know I'

To me there is no logical reason for needing 19 engineers other than poor documentation, written in a niche language (or non-standard for the org) or they use a consulting firm that of course said it will take 19 engineers and needs rebuild

The study doesn't seem to call out how many numbers in each cohort actually got the flu in the time period. Also, that the vaccines are created anew each year for the particular strains of flu likely to be an issue also requires inves

Probably just because it isn't a very high bar. "People who eat McDonald's linked to fewer car accidents." I mean some data might just show that, but causality is a lot further away there. Hence, while a correlation mi

The fact anti-depressants have such serious potential side-effects should mean anyone considering them is at least hopefully fully informed and has exhausted other options. I'm sure many people find it insulting to have such 'obvi

A vaccine created to target a specific protein and years of virology experience in predicting where that would lead. I'm not one of those virologists, but it's not an unreasonable issue to foresee, with OAS a known effect.

Or avoid being scammed, becoming scams or being wholly manipulated. I don't know how people think cryptocurrency will just 'work itself out' as some decentralised system with no oversight somehow free of corruption and illeg

If the virus escapes antibody response (Original Antigenic Sin?), how is the vaccine still preventing severe infection and hospitalisation? It also says most prior infections were also vaccinated. It would be interesting to see if the unva

Ok then, so who should the ideal be?

I prefer he not be more critical - especially if I dislike his guest - and he has spoken to this. Being more critical leads instantly to those who like to pick tribes framing it as attacking etc. He says he aims for understanding and lett

Oooh, please, do share with us who is the 'real' smart person (journalist)? Trump was president of the USA, that's not exactly unsuccessful. But not oil dollars or Rothschilds rich I suppose.

Unless there isn't of course. If the bad actors are taken out Bitcoin may never reach the value required to recover the losses. That risk is real, and I'm not sure El Salvador can just hodl forever

Oh of course, we're now into the phase of 'of course this had to happen, and is necessary, to shake out the dodgy bits so we can go to the moon tomorrow!'

Definitely not a ponzi scam in the exit stages. Definitely.

This is a redundant argument as it applies just as well to the current financial markets: education is key. But it's not reality, and Bitcoin opened up to fleecing at massive scale as its growth increased and middlemen services popped

Don't try to stand up a strawman. The exchanges are manipulating the value of Bitcoin, which affects those not using exchanges' ability to trade at a 'proper' value.
