I trust Malone way more. Fauzi has vested interest in continuing COVID measures. Check out his pay (higher than western leaders in the world). Check also his stock holdings. Still Fauzi has way more credibility than the entire WHO which has been a laughing stock for the past 2 years.
I think they can do simulation and then map result against actual observations. This would be very similar to "climate science" now (albeit at a smaller scale) where a lot of conclusions are done via projections of years in advances within their simulated earths.
Currently, worldwide is still at "promoting vaccines at all cost because Covid is worse than Black Death". So doubt these research results would be freely allowed to get published or supported. China now only doing trials on mRNA (many countries stopped using their non-mRNA vaccines). India hasn't fully vaccinated their people yet. Large part of Africa is even worst situation. So at least 2-3 billions people havn't exposed fully to mRNA benefits or negative effects. Take dengue vaccine that was shelved in Philipines which requires multi years to see its side effects. We are now just entering year 2 or mRNA. Give it 10 years to know "acceptably" mRNA vaccine increases unnecessary risks of heart-related problems. If you know personally doctors working in vaccines research field you probably will know the negatives better. Many doctors scared to even mentioned these negatives for fear of retaliations (this is worlwide phenomena right now). There is a reason FDA needs 75 years to disclose mRNA vaccine related papers. There is also a reason why all statistics on negatives effect of vaccines is so few. Try mention any of those on Youtube or Facebook now and you'll almost instantly get retaliation as anti-vaxxers.
1984 got it more correct. Take sometime to read or watch current China related stuff. It makes whatever we think oppressions done by western countries look pedantic. Huxley birth control might also play out in China if birth rate there still dropping way below what the state wants of 3 at the moment. Personally I feel, if the world was dominated by mainland Chinese and their influences or direct supremacy in some kind of marvel multiverse, then Huxley-Orwell fictions might be "unfictionized" there.
Governments and sponsoring companies should pay for it. The rest of us a presenters and private inviduals should get it free. Knowledge should be free flow not at every steps being VAT-ed.
I was reading up a lot of reviews on these alder lake, either those reviewers are paid or simply Intel fanboy, they all seems to downplay the power consumption and giving Intel glowing reviews (and quickly skim over power issue). I wouls year end and see how 13th vs Ryzen 4 will battle out.
Technically we can view entire Youtube as being mysogynist. If she is an American she will have a very strong case to bring this lawsuit on (possibly class action lawsuit). I recalled there was a case regarding women showing topless and won (if any legal expert here can chime in). It only take a cursory search to show that Youtube showing men's nipples without demonetization while a simple cardboard of female equivalent getting "women-hate" from Youtube.
Depends. Some judges can be threaten. This had happened many times and quite obvious during 2020 riots in America and elections. Also, the keys to judicial "edicts" lie at the prosecutors. If you have low quality prosecutors or death-targeted prosecutors' family members, then judicial can't funxtion properly. Look up how Scott Peterson got convicted purely on circumstancial proof including "he doesn't act the way we expected him to". I do expect assassinations of judges will be more common in decades to come. It is important congress to ensure judges have good statistic of being punished if misconduct.
Umbrella is also used when weather is very hot, aka super sunny days. This app should factor that in as well rather than just exclusively for rainy days.
Bollywood and Nigeria as well. Those 2 countries have very thriving movie industries. They are lacking Korean slickness at the moment, but story-wise and cultural contents are quite refreshing. With Netflix seeding many aspiring directors with good plots, I think it will be great to see how competitive Chinese moviemakers are. I say the more the merrier even if some of those are heavy influenced by government propaganda (ahem....Fight Club China Director's cut)
They can only stay rich if we waste and reconsume again and again. That is how ads industries thrive. Apple and Samsung are what are today because we overbought their product. Almost everyone I know at least got 3+ phones (1 current 2 in the drawers). Even got one with 15+ phones (collection he said). As long as we behave to reward companies that do this, we will continuously getting new companies or existing companies adopting this strategy. I don't see "treehuggers" using antiquated Nokia phones and routinely seen many of my environmentally conscious frens having new iphones EVERY 2 years even if their old phones are working fine and they can easily go into a cheap repair shop to change the battery. As for security reasons, yeah, "frens" actually pasting post-it passwords and no idea what is yubi keys and never bother doing 2FA.
This discovery and reporting will be suppress or downplay. We expect big pharma to give up the vaccine sales? We expect government to give up lockdown+controls? We expect our congress to be fiscal responsible and not going for round 2, 2T budget build abck America better sequel?
Imagine you are limited to only pen and paper and need to communicate with another using written Chinese. Then even though what you convey will be exactly same meaning and characters count, simplified will consumed less effort (less ink and paper as well) to deliver equivalent same message in Chinese Traditional. From language studies perspective they view a token as basic unit of information, but in engineering and practicality, OP ideas of pixel measurement would be better. You can't transmit information to humans using "token" but displayed form via pixels. As for Simplified Chinese is much harder to learn, let just say Mao had proven you wrong with vast majority Chinese (outside of China) learning Simplified form much faster and less effort than Traditional form. Even Taiwanese using simplified form to describe the name "tai" in Taiwan.
I think secretly they are aiming for the digital currency aspect of blockchain, e.g. Bitcoin but couldn't understand how it works as MBA schools havn't mint out bitcoin graduates yet. Maybe in abother 10 years.
DOJ is very bias depending on which party is in power with exception during Trump years. Both Google and FB/Meta were instrumental in assisting Biden, I don't expect DOJ would be doing much.
Not only that, their visa cancellation has nothing to do with for the benefits of the people. It is when media highlights his non vax status, Aus government quickly backtrack (elections coming) and specifically cancel the visa. Basically instead of behaving like a proper beauracrats, they temporary turn into CCP China. Imagine if it is not Djokovic, and media never highlighted it, and unfected with Spanish+Mersa flu. Man...Aus people should have a better government. SG is right above there can give a lot of good pointers.
Djokovic denied is expected. What I didn't expect is Aus government is this messy with only 20mils (and maybe a fraction of that since this is Melbourne). If they didn't have mining boom and cash strap, I shudder to think how their government can function properly.
Like our FISA? Mind you this Aus court didn't address to what extend the limits can apply. Read their laws. Basically, their FM can cancel for ANY reasons valid or not is not questionable. Court only uphold what is the law never address the limits of it. They have less people than ours, theirs can operate fairly quickly plus this is high profile case.
First off, I do think he spread less than 100% truth. I also think vaccines works. But...without vaccines death is rather low at around 4%. Had we allow Wuhan variant covid to spread earlier, alpha, beta, delta, omicron, IHG, deltacron, etc would be neglible and tolerable by public as we would have achieve natural herd immunity by now. What the medical professions failed to highlight is 80% has no symptom and recover just like ordinary flu. Most testings done where underreported causing 4% to appear bigger than necessary. Look at Singapore data that do testings very crazily to some extend (though China probably more but less reliable than SG). Death rate is near 0% and severe cases are extremely low for all variants. Also, medical professions are self-censored. There are doctors they differ opinions to general Fauzi-sponsored one and they will be heavily ostracised. Hence if you have these 200+ doctors against Joe, there at least substantial quiet minority doctors for Joe as well but can't voice their opinions. My personal GP also always remind me to take vaccines if the risk of death/complication is higher than risk of vaccines. Chicken pox vaccines and rabies vaccines are good examples. You can opt not to take Chicken pox vaccine and won't matter much in your life except maybe some scars and agingles later on. You need to take rabies vaccine when you got bitten but doesn't meant you should take it every 3mths to be fully protected for all situation. What we are doing now with covid is very excessive. Doctors (hospitals) are being paid by governments for covid patients with almost no upper bound consteaint. It is in their best interest to maintain these revenue even if doctors work to death. Economics. What is missing here is "measured approach". You do things when it is necessary. You escalate when needed and you de-escalate when things improve. What is the point of omicron wave when it is significantly less severe. Why keep reporting infection rates and deleting any mention of 1. ICU cases and 2. Deaths? HPV has 90% infection rates and proven to cause many cancers, but people isn't exactly dying from it like covid or even flu. Why then we didn't do social distancing for HPV which makes Omicron looks like noobs.
Military Complex thing. Afghan and Iraq winding down with huge loses to American taxpayers (meaning you) but windfall for those in weapon industries. It was suppose to be Libya and Ukraine but Barry got outmanuevre by Putin back then. Now they got their wish to do war (probably 2 simultabeously as rumor that China seems to be coordinating with Russia).
Correct thing to do at this point is really to exclude Australian Open from future glam slam. Just drop entire Australia from it. I get that they have the right to deny anyone in but they making this entire scene due PURELY as political brownie points. Sports should stay neutral. They (entiee Australia) should be punished for dragging sports into this. Better yet deny entire Australia from any world tennis events for 3 years. Now, imagine, every country using their political clout to score their brownie points. The Aussie is really angry at their leaders incompetent handling of pandemic...Djokovic is just a trigger point of their accumulated disatisfaction.
History counts. Otherwise you wont have territorial issue especially pushed by China and Israel. Helsinki has no gun power to enforce anything. It is based on mutual respect and adherence. At this moment, Crimean people wants Russia whether it is legal or not. Russia has bigger guns than Ukraine and at least on par with Americans at their home ground. What is Ukraine worth to you than the smartphone in your hand? Should you worry about a brilliant tactician that make Obama like a pigeon or a Sino leader hell-bent to acquire back their territory at half the population life cost (read Mao's history on theorectical US invasion)? The bear will most likely make a few slight of hand moves to acquire their objectives with minimal lost of lives. The dragon-snake on other side is and will be very blunt.
In the end Crimea people did voted to rejoin Russia. Though not really legal, the people there have spoken their will. I would let that to rest. Invading Ukraine on the other hand is a big no. But, given we are now administer by old forgetful Biden, and Xi on the other side determine to get Taiwan, can we manage a 2-front war by 2 of the world superpower? EU is mostly headed by weak leadership (see Germany, Macron, and recent Boris debacle). Coming spring we might even enter a property crash with high inflation. American got the appetite to save Ukraine? Taiwan maybe given we addicted to chips and general Sino-phobia.
Whistleblower exist. The question is which country got the balls to prosecute. USA Biden? France Macron? Justice can only be served or enforced if there is a court operates it. When the most powerful nation own chief justices cowered to Antifa and BLM back then to even take on the fraud cases, anyone dare to take down dragon of the east. How many leaders scared of critisizing Kim or the Talebans? It is not whether China allow investigate it is no one brave enough to do a Covid Nuremberg...not even US military.
Greed of capital gain. Everyone I know is talking about crypto in terms of USD price. Not a single person I know (including some miners) able to explain Ethereum usage other than USD pricing per token. Basically the whole crypto is running on ponzi fuel. Once that settle, we will see big corporations and governments putting in supercomputers to circumvent pheasants hash processsing. Look at China able to create 5G network in Shanghai that makes NY look like rural places and their big firewall that are able to hold out majority of western online contents. We basically help governments to establish blockchain uses by being the guinea pigs to fund the gpu cards development.
Around Feb 2020 at the peak of then Wuhan, there was an accidental reporting on one of the news channel there showing 200K death. Even subsequent body bags order urgently from Taiwan seems to account for that huge numbers. And many reported for days the sky has strong ash smell, with all crematorium working non-stop for months. It is possible the numbers are in millions as there is also reported telco subscribers lost a lot of subscribers there in the range of millions. Considering health care in China sucks if you're in rural and about 40% still in rural, plus babies died because refused admission to hospitals for hours, many believes death number are way higher than those in USA and EU. Even today, China own education system don't mention much death of "great leap forward" which actually put Mao way ahead of Hitler in death counts.
The problem is there is no competition for the admins jobs. This is why voucher for charters would improve these. You need somekind of feedback mechanism to exterminate bad admins from their job. Unfortunately most people people deserve these kind of admins when they constantly vote in the "wrong" rep. I moved to other states now that remote jobs are very conducive to coders.
The amazing part is they hash "no" work as proof of work to get rewarded with digital coin that contribute to global warming hastening "2012 movie" and we celebrate it as a monumental achievement! Maybe Thanos is right.
