Yes. The author is blaming vaccines no matter how much he/she is trying to put layers of misdirection on top of it.

'The "Died Suddenly" Explosion' is thinly veiled anti-vaxxer propaganda. Anytime anyone under the age of 60 dies these anti-vaxxers come out of their shadows and fill social media with their harmful lies blaming vaccines

Almost all consumer electronics are made at these Chinese manufacturers. Only the high-end chips are from Taiwan, South Korea, or Arizona. I'm software engineer at a Danish company that also manufactures a lot of industrial electronics

The far-right has always claimed that the Jews are the puppeteers of various progressive movements they don't like. A century ago they accused the Jews of being behind and secretly controlling the Bolshevik movement. Now they accuse Je

Most people were supportive of their leaks that were critical of the Obama administration aggressive use of drone strikes, his support for Israel etc. It was only when they turned out to be pro-Russian propagandists that the support turned.

Hundreds of millions of people in India are using fiat payment apps like Google Pay, PayTM etc. I don't know how they make it work but I doubt they're all conventionally banked people.

Someone really should analyze how much Norwegian, British, and EU tax payers funded Tesla in the past 10 years. I think a significant amount of their sales was subsidized by us.

I'm an EU citizen and support the GDPR. But it's only a question of time before the US will interpet these fines as an undeclared trade war and make up the legal framework to do retaliatory strikes against EU tech companies. Borde

No? The countries that don't have extradition agreements with the US overlap a lot with countries that have friendly relations with Russia. China, Cuba, and Russia would be the ideal choices if you're on the run from US authoritie

IIRC Z-library is a LibGen mirror that is faster than other mirrors but is also much more monetized with more ads, limited free downloads, and premium plans. Something else weird about this story is why did they move to a country that has a

Rust is wonderful technology that will make software more secure and reliable. However there is no sense of stability in the Rust world. APIs constantly break and most crates are pre-1.0.0.

As an EU citizen I support EU legalisation to protect our privacy. However can some Americans tell when your law makers will consider this to be protectionism and throw retaliatory measures against EU companies? Because I don't think t
