If you take an antiviral like this, do you still develop a good immune response to reinfection? I wonder because almost everyone who might end up needing this isn't vaccinated (based on hospitalization rates) so I hope that at the end

I agree, phases make sense. I myself like to think of the situation you're describing as the coal costing the utility $15/ton or whatever while the rest of us pay that $100-120/ton to repair the commons. But certainly differe

I suppose places used to do this for Google. Not sure if they still do, but I remember if you searched for an article on Google there was a period in time where it would bypass the paywall you'd have hit going directly to the article.

I used to pay for news websites, but then they kept tracking me with cookies and 3rd party javascript anyway. They can have one or the other... I am not doing both and told them so. They're still doing it, but at least I'm not sup

Yeah, annotation like we do for PDFs or videos seems like a good idea. I certainly don't subscribe to a news source linked just for one article. Though I don't really want to give clicks to the many many articles that are either a

Honestly, still... if that was what it cost globally? Sounds cheap to me, the next closest I've read about is in the $100-$120/ton range. Better to just not emit it, but nice to have numbers for how big a carbon tax needs to be to

I can't tell you whether the below is accurate, but this was why they said it is novel. ‘Tephra is cheap, not limiting, and all the required tech already exists. Bentonites – altered tephra – are already regularly mined, so we don’t ne

It sounds like we also probably both agree that such rules are likely the cause of the problem they are trying to solve.

Yeah... I'm not sure I see an alternative to this being what most people do, unless spam filters somehow win an arms race when it's an uphill battle. But, assuming this replaced AI spam filters rather than being used together, is

It sounded like the capacity to physically move things around is being blocked because trucks are being used for storage. In that particular situation a temporary buffer that allows the flow to become unblocked is necessary. The computer wo

I am not an accountant, but I believe this to indeed be the case. If you previously took losses, you can carry them forward but not get an actual refund. It might not be practical to do because what tax bracket do you use? It's simpler

That's what I'm saying, it seems like a smart TV is cheaper even if you use it as a dumb TV. I think that they are selling them at reduced margins or even as a loss leader in order to get you to pay them for the smart features.

Turn wifi off for the existing TV (smart or not matters little if you don't connect it) and stick the same $50 HDMI stick and avoid throwing out the fully functional display? At this point, ads displayed to the users who use it as a sm

So if you're a big enough company that you can basically assume that a lease will be available whenever you want (which makes sense for a large number of leases, turnover must exist), you just bid enough to justify it once something lo

Gotcha, if I am reading this right the mechanism for the switch is quantum but the property is not. So no different in that regard than in semiconductors where the underlying behavior is due to quantum mechanics but the actual computing ele

These sound a lot like room temperature optical qubits... I'm certain I am missing something but this sounds pretty neat.

I agree, but do try to keep an open mind. This "reclaim" stuff seems like it really doesn't recognize the reality of the civil war at all, it just comes off as a way to make invading peaceful neighbors whose stuff you want se

Depends on whether the launch sites get hit before launching, this part of MAD is well understood. You just need survivability enough for a second strike (or early warning enough to render it moot).

Your complaint is whether the word "reclaim" or "invade" is used? Why do you think your word choice is right when the leader of Taiwan seems to disagree? Reclaiming something against the wishes of the local population is

Under which legal system? I thought that China was generally able to influence who owns domestic companies pretty much at a whim by nationalizing them, and that chip manufacturing seems like something that many countries might consider nati

I'm pretty sure they've repeatedly mentioned that they're also funded by viewers like me ;-) Yes, they get government funding and have a public mission. But they also aren't entirely funded by tax dollars. I do think the

Of course they do. Do you think the Chinese government can't figure out what you access via a VPN? I find it hard to be confident that the US Security Apparatus couldn't figure out what I access via VPN if they chose to. I'm

The seemingly obvious middle ground is that there cannot be too much concentration of news station ownership. Which used to be the rule, but the rules weren't quite bulletproof enough so now Sinclair and a handful of others own far mor

You're not wrong, but this is the part where capitalism is supposed to encourage people to use methods that cost less in externalities. Businesses should pay for their externalities or else they aren't competing with each other fa
