Thank you for this blast from the past.

Until two years later the same thing is said about PHP 9, 10, 11. Constant change is not good.

This reminds me a lot of RavenDB. I'm impressed.

From a purely mathematical, scientific, and logical standpoint, I must regard this article as entirely speculative. The scientific claims it presents are extraordinarily improbable, and sound reasoning compels their complete dismissal.

The article only proves the big bang to be a theory.

The UK is almost lost.

Humans are certainly not winning the war on cancer. Not even close. Now, even children perish from cancer in America. Things are getting worse, not better. When you get cancer, you'll better understand the hopelessness.

Very good point!

If it's not Google, it will be someone else that dominates the browser market.

Landlords have 100% risk. Look what happened to California, when the state said tenants did not have to pay rent. Same for Washington, NY, IL, etc... The vast majority of people with rental properties are just regular people trying to make a living.

If you want communism, there are a number of countries you can move to.

Since when has war ever been tit-for-tat. Since the beginning of time, if a nation where to attack and make war with another nation, they had to measure carefully the consequences if they were to lose... because losing meant losing everything. This is no different. Russia attacking Ukraine is no different. No one is tracing and counting every bullet Russia fires and certainly no world court is saying anything at all to Russia… or to Turkey, or Iran, or Syria, or anyone else… except for Israel. Gaza attacked Israel and like any nation that goes to war, they will either win or lose. Consider carefully before declaring war against your enemy…. Everything is at stake.

I like the idea. Unfortunately, could not get it to work on Linux. Making a note caused a crash. Searching notes crashed. LLM chat would cause crash. Hope to see it work some time.

The UN has no power to exercise binding laws over sovereign states.

Sounds like another money maker for the pharmaceutical industry that does nothing for the patient.

Point taken, and I do not dismiss the potential. It would be prudent to consider all the new things and not dismiss either without careful review. Most kids suffered very few ills as a result of having covid compared to adults. Diabetes among children is a very rare thing, not even a blip on the radar for children (until now). Also, if we want to say that covid caused an increase of type 2 diabetes among children (no doctor is saying this by the way... neither is the WHO)... what is that evidence? I mean, is there a historical precedence that demonstrates that having one illness to trigger an entirely different illness? For example, do survivors of cancer tend to get diabetes... or did the survivors of the black plaque experience a sudden increase of diabetes... etc... I do not believe that to be the case. I'm not discounting it... I do not believe their to be such a treasure trove of past cases that can be pointed to as models to consider. But, worth a look. My concern is more of the unwillingness I see in so many people to consider the potential of all the options on the table. No one seems to really want to talk about, the other option. All medicines cause issues over time. Take a tylenol every day for 2 weeks and see what happens to you (please, don't do it). How much more something entirely new and experimental.

It sounds like you made up your mind that the vaccine could not possibly be at fault. Nothing to see here, right? You will not even consider the possibility? Not even a 1% probability? Note I said nothing about religion, so not sure why you bring that up here when speaking of the probabilities of potential cause, but I believe your stand requires significant faith.

I do not consider covid to be harmless. Many died, including my own family members. We are talking about diabetes among children. Children were hardly impacted by covid. But many did take the vaccine. Food for thought.

Never in human history has an increase in diabetes happened on this scale, in such a short time, to a people (children) that are the least likely of people to acquire it. What's the one thing that 200 million people did in the USA, particularly children, that had an unknown potential for adverse health effects and that occured at just the same time and that was new and different? It had to be something different... something new, because this has never happened before.... especially among children. Just think about it. Yes, the vaccine. It was untested on humans (until now), and like any untested medication, can and most likely will have human side effects. That's just scientifically probable based on all other human trials. It was and is experimental. It's something that should be considered and looked into. It is by no means unscientific to do so.

All I had to do was read the title of this article and the first sentence to understand that this is an example of what's wrong with the software development industry. I would rather work with people that act like good people and are human, than to work for the idiots measuring your every breath looking for a reason to fire you.

You live in a republic. Not democracy. "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

It won't take long before all banks are using it. Once the banks are using it, employers will begin making payments using it. Once employees are receiving digital currency payments from employers, cash will end soon after.

Agreed.

I would never eat processed manufactured meat. This is just another food category being converted to processed foods. Processed foods make you sick, weak and takes your life. Want a short unhealthy life? Eat processed foods. Pharma will be there for you to speed up your own efforts.

It is a terrible thing for individuals to face imprisonment due to their unwillingness to accept pharmaceuticals being administered to them without their consent. This situation represents a significant abuse of power by both the government and the medical community. This abuse of power will certainly spill into many areas of peoples lives, one of which, consequently, people will develop a profound fear of seeking medical assistance, akin to the fear experienced during World War 1/2.

An expense chart showing how that $17B was spent would be interesting to everyone reading the article. It would also keep the government accountable to the people on how their taxes are spent.

I stopped using Google products a long time ago. Seeing articles like this and hearing what others are dealing with just encourages me to see that I made the right choice.

What would China do if a USA surveillance balloon appeared in their skies? Exactly. You watching Taiwan?

This is very good. I'm going to start using this first and see how it goes.

Similar thing happened to me. Except they sold my domain of 8+ years to a porn service provider within 24 hrs. Explain that one to your customers. I no longer do business with Godaddy.

I had the same experience with GoDaddy. I searched a domain name, which was available. The next morning I attempted to purchase the domain and it was owned by GoDaddy.com. I also had a domain with them for 9 years, which expired for a day and when we tried to renew, they owned it and were selling it for a much higher rate. BIG, BIG WARNING! Do not use GoDaddy to search for domain names. I would stay away from them period.
