Get evidence from blood tests. Without knowing the details, it is hard to guess. Vitamin B12 deficiency is common.

Good point. The market segment of keeping companies on MS platforms is one I had not considered. That will certainly contribute to Linux not gaining a marketshare, and possibly fragment the overall Linux developers' ecosystem.

They can embrace Linux, but they can't extend it in any meaningful way. By which I mean they can't ever create a Microsoft brand of packaged Linux. The Linux marketshare is already flooded with distros, and any software that earns

Payload size would be very helpful, but they don't need that to shortlist candidates. Correlating the timestamps of when the comment appeared on HN and when the domain name was accessed from an internal IP may be enough, subject to luc

I don't work for Google. My company has strict policies to discourage employees talking to the public about internal affairs. That was the case with my previous two employers too. Frankly, it makes sense from their POV to not have thei

Facebook is probably experimenting with that... except for humans. Explains why Zuckerberg would put tape over his own computers' cameras.

This needs a multipronged approach. Regulations, where regulations work, consumer advocacy where consumer advocacy works, plant-based meat emulations where emulations work, and so on. Honestly though, I'm quite pessimistic that this pr

It still seems pretty stressed. I only wanted to see some examples; I did not want to enter fresh sentences myself. If you could add a section to your website to show previous queries and results across all simulations, that might be good e

I'm Indian, and have lived in various parts of India for years at a time. I have never come across anyone whose name was Pajit. I've only ever seen "Pajit" because of racist trolls online.

It looks like a native Breeze themed KDE application. If I did not know I was on the Nana website, I would have assumed it's all Breeze.

I don't understand what you're asking. Vaccines are recommended because that's usually the best course of action. That doesn't mean that vaccines will work 100% of the time... if that's what you were asking. Safet

I don't know what to make of MiFit copying all such information. I had assumed they copy it to show notifications on the watch. Does Lumen reveal that Xiaomi is sending that data to their own servers?

Nothing in medicine is as straightforward as that. Most cancer treatments end up wiping out or suppressing many different kinds of cells, and a temporary suppression of white blood cells is considered an acceptable side effect. AIDS will ha

Doesn't matter if they were previously immunized. A compromised immune system can wipe out previous immunity.

Cancer patients, AIDS patients, organ recipients all have compromised immune systems. They'd all be at risk because of irrational choices their colleagues made.

Ideally, all researchers would upload their works to an open access repository. If that were already happening, there would be no need for a country-specific arxiv. An Indian arxiv may motivate people in the Indian research ecosystem to upl

It is possible with VMPK, and some people have shown they can play great music on it ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhfSF_RpxjI ) but I don't know how hard it is to get to a stage where we can be productive. It would

If for some reason, we had as many horse riders as drivers, none of that would be true. Horses would be as much a part of modern industry as chicken and cattle already are. IOW, there would be huge enterprises to ensure only good genes went

India is uncannily similar to Latin America in that way. AFAIK, Indians haven't yet dared to storm police stations and extract prisoners for a lynching. Usually WhatsApp forwards lead to lynchings before the police are even aware of an

As far as the purpose of DNA is to tell the rest of the cell what proteins to synthesize, over 85% percent of our DNA is never translated to protein [1]. But leave alone our knowledge of DNA, biology rarely works in a manner that's bes

I agree with your comment about scaling, but I think you have underestimated the firmware deployment figures. Ultimately, whatever we write that goes into firmware is hidden from the customer. The customer pays a price per unit, and other h
