That's an impressively detailed response. Did you happen to track all these kinds of quotes routinely for your own research, or are you that good at finding this info that quickly.

autoro- I have to ask, did you publish this yourself? It’s your only submission and your only comment
Re:Moderna is announcing three new vaccine programs on Tuesday January 12, 2021 @11:50AM (#25749507)
A few weeks ago, I looked for info on how the mRNA itself is produced/created in these vaccines, but couldn't find the answer. Does anyone know?

It does this already

The boot up sequence does an audible musical tone and says "Hello", so an attacker is not silently going to reboot it and listen in
Re:Theranos destroyed subpoenaed SQL blood test database, prosecutors say on Monday January 11, 2021 @11:45PM (#25742390)
How has Elizabeth still not had her trial?!It keeps getting pushed back.. and more surprising, she got married in 2019 while awaiting trial?!

Does that expose her new husband to financial liability from the fraud lawsuit?

Why do you need to pretend things are racist when they aren't? IT and security use medical terms like 'viruses', and bad computers are 'wiped clean', so 'clean' is a common term and there's no reason to pretend that its intended to be racist. A clean network is a joke though and will fail

Is the Fed buying real estate now? I knew they expanded to ETFs and bonds, but are they actually buying land/buildings or REITs?

I have seen that before with the T and O maps [1], where Asia is presented as North. They are nice, simple maps for their age

Image uploads are nice, but can be overcome through other channels until the feature is added. The page says that the project is "super young"

This looks promising. Is there a web client, or only a desktop client?

When the new registrations begin (Jan 2022), hopefully the former owners moved off of them completely, before an attacker registers them, points the MX records, leading to mailbox collection and password resets. Without ownership, it might be hard to change other systems (DNS-based verification).

I sense that you believe in two conflicting views. You want less information, but are critical of silencing a pro-China TV license in Taiwan? How do you rectify this yourself? I'm trying to understand.
