> A death resulting from a clinically compatible illness, in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death identified…

notice the probable or confirmed case and know that hospitals (US) are eligible for additional reimbursement with covid “case” patient from a $100 Billion CARES act fund (at minimum)

>Individuals who received at least one dose was calculated as (# of individuals who received at least one dose) / (population estimate).

Deaths are also only attributed to Vaccinated category after 14 days from the second dose, else it’s a “unvaccinated” death.

This is the first vaccine ever where you can die 13 days after a vaccine, and be classified unvaccinated. It’s just magical how “science” to advance “public health” works.

it sounds like you’re using the post covid-19 definition of Vaccine.

It’s amazing that the definition of a word like vaccine could change suddenly, because it is was incompatible to one virus — a mysterious super virus whose origin is still unknown, according to the WHO.

It’s a more recent development that’s materialized after iOS implemented it.

Google implements privacy protecting measures as a fast follower to iOS.

wait till they IPO. They will need to show growth and will erode away old reddit features, with more nags and modals to switch to the “new experience” — so they can boost ad revenue

The push to open web links in a mobile app has already become a PITA

Most big tech companies got out of or significantly scaled back their blockchain business, it is solution chasing a problem. The web3 people apparently haven’t caught on yet

Watson became a marketing term after the company spent hundreds of millions to brand Watson to be synonymous with AI. The term Watson then got appended to existing businesses as it allowed them all to benefit from the brand equity and Watson ads. This unfortunately happened even if there wasn’t any AI capabilities, so it eventually backfired.

Watson Health seems to have been focused on selling the narrative of AI in healthcare, even though the technology wasn’t there.

The divestiture is only for IP also, and it seems most people in the group will be laid off.

every phone is chatty, unless you have a pi-hole equivalent when you're not on your secured home network, there's a lot of data being exchanged with every manufacturer.

they've moved to the track and hunt stage.

The behavior was reckless and the crash seems nothing out of the ordinary, this seems to be about telling everyone they have a tesla and they got in a crash... as if it's something novel. This video will be used against the driver to raise their insurance rates.

>“Experience has shown us that loosening restrictions and shelter-in-place orders means a resurgence of disease,” said Robert A. Bednarczyk

baseless claim, woven into the story as if it's a fact. This is a first of its kind situation, there's no "experience" and the global experiments are ongoing.

Washington Post is owned by Bezos, who's fortune is tied to Amazon's e-commerce dominance. This sort narrative should be expected from this media publication.

Most teams simply didn't have conversion tracking at all for many many years from waht I recall..everyone would look at spend and clicks as success KPIs, making the client relationships jobs lucrative.

I've seen teams that spend most of their (7 figure per Q) ad budgets on branded keywords (vs unbranded) despite having top organic rankings, because no one knew any better.

The agency makes commissions on ad budget spent, so there was no incentive for efficiency.

The inefficiently was incredibly painful and no one gave a damn on either side..those that knew what they were doing didn't last or were pushed out.

(this is not a unique issue, from a PwC study last week 50% of ad spend is taken by middlemen rather than the publisher... the entire ecosystem thrives on inefficiency)

I've seen how the VMware and Softlayer group operates inside IBM. They did not know what they were doing, but were given massive buckets of $ each month to spend. The entire cloud business is a joke.

IBM would spends 100s of thousands of dollars per Q buying the keyword "VMware" and send people to a page that did nothing.

One of the most expensive keywords in the company was VPS, which was a broadmatch term. There wasn't even conversion tracking in place and they spent millions per quarter in PPC with terrible results.

I've seen many instances where they spent more than my annual salary on keywords over 1 week with no results to show for it.

This was despite having about 10 people on the IBM side to "manage" stuff (excluding multiple layers of management) and several people on the ad agency side to "execute", with more focused on "strategy" and others focused on,"analytics".
