Your argument is that Dr. Montagnier must be wrong because he believes in some crazy stuff, and you must be right because you became a virus expert about 2 months ago. I looked through your old posts and you mostly post about political stuff, so you obviously don't work in medicine, but hey I guess you know more than Dr. Montagnier, right?
This looks like a reliable study since its testing for antibodies, rather than the more common swab tests.
Honestly how accurate do they expect these apps to be?
Absolute waste of time. Nerds with too much time on their hands.
If these people are reasonably good at what they do I doubt this will affect their chances of getting hired. They also don't need to put it on their CV.
If anything this study shows (albeit with small numbers) that HCQ doesn't make things worse.
But I have a feeling HCQ will be found to be effective. Big pharma have a lot of $$$ to make from their vaccine though.
Godaddy are thieves. I'll never use them again.
If only FB were as professional with their customer's data as Namecheap...
My gut feeling is that far more people have this virus than the Johns Hopkins app says.
The biggest outbreak outside of China seems to be Iran, with 2,922 confirmed cases, 92 deaths and 552 recovered. This does sound bad since that is technically a 3% death rate, but my gut feeling is far more Iranians actually have it, but are not checking themselves into hospital because they don't want to be put in quarantine and would rather just stay home.
I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness, Corona virus still is something you don't want to get, but it probably won't kill you if you're a reasonably healthy person.
Unfortunately it will probably sweep the world before a cure is found, so we'll all be exposed to it eventually.
Never copy things verbatim especially if you don't fully understand them. Understand the topic first, then write your notes.
If its taking you a long time to understand the topic, or it requires some back-tracking or further reading, do that, then return to the topic.
Taking down notes in lectures is often a waste of time because often the lecturer is just reading from his/her notes, which you have access to, however it depends on the Lecturer.
Final piece of advice is not to take them down in a text file. Use a pen and paper. I find hand-writing the notes is less distracting and forces me to think about them. However this may not be true for everyone.
I think Stadia has come about 20 years too early. Cloud gaming makes sense, but the infrastructure isn't there yet.
If they did that, they could offer cloud gaming as a niche service on that platform, to test the waters, meanwhile they are building up a solid user base.
Instead they decided to go all-in on unproven technology, launched with barely any games available and no clear path forward.
If they had done some basic market research they could have saved themselves a ton of money.
I have a Ps4 and recently tried out the PS4 now streaming service, and while it was nice to try, I would not subscribe because of one reason: to much lag. And I have a very good internet connection and ethernet connection. I also live in a city where there are datacenters which host service.
Even then the lag was unaccceptable to me and I wouldn't even call myself an avid gamer. I'm just a moderate gamer.
There's only a certain type of game that is feasible over a streaming service and that is slow-paced strategy type games, or adventure games. Anything that requires fast reactions who's work. Kids won't like it. Kids will demand a PS4 or PS5 from their parents.
Putting games like Doom on Stadia is pure idiocy. These are the wrong type of game to put on it.
In any case, it will certainly fail and be shut down pretty soon.
Some people just work better on their own.
IMO, what's worse are "knowledge hoarders". Usually they've been in the company for a long time and they maintain their position by being as stingy as possible with their knowledge. You usually find these people in big orgs, and they can be quite toxic.
They also don't write good documentation.
The "small sites" you refer to , which I'm assuming are typical forum type sites, have been dying a slow death for the past few years anyway, since FB ate their lunch.
He's just trying to stop these companies from playing dirty, as they have been for a long time.
He's concerned with making services such as Youtube, FB and Reddit face up to the fact that they are publishers, and not really forums because they're so riddled with AI and fishy algorithms.
I only glossed over the article but the problem they had with Go seems to be the GC incurred from having a large cache. Their cache eviction algorithm was efficient, but every 2 minutes there was a GC run which slowed things down. Re-implementing this algorithm in Rust gave them better performance because the memory was freed right after the cache eviction.
Splitting it across more processes will result in more cache misses and more DB calls.
I believe the intention of this status code was to allow the application to negotiate payment using some not-yet-invented payment technology.
The browser would presumably shell out to some kind of local wallet or bank website to authorize the payment, all in a split second without the user noticing.
What you're describing is the typical paywall type page where a user is asked for payment.
