"The source of the funding, according to research conducted by Chainanalysis, appears to be a computer programmer based in France who created an account in 2013 — and who maintained a personal blog, which was not updated between 2014 and Dec. 9, 2020, the day after the “donations.”

Chainalysis researchers discovered a blog post from the bitcoin user that reads like an apparent suicide note, bequeathing his money to “certain causes and people” in light of what he describes as “the decline of Western civilization,” though the researchers were unable to confirm that the user was in fact dead"

Bang on.

I have a set of 1927 Arthur Mee encyclopeadia and it lists every single Asbestos related disease in detail.

"a single tape cartridge with this new areal density has the potential to store about 580 terabytes (TB) of data.

Just to put that in perspective, 580 TB is equivalent to 786,977 CDs stacked 944 meters high, which is taller than Burj Kalifa, the world’s tallest building"

I can't see how flag planting has any meaning unless a human does it.

Not to detract from the accomplishment.

In summary,

NERVTAG has moderate confidence that VUI-202012/01 demonstrates a substantial increase in transmissibility compared to other variants.

• NERVTAG concluded that there are currently insufficient data to draw any conclusion on:

- Underlying mechanism of increased transmissibility (e.g. increased viral load, tissue distribution of virus replication, serial interval etc)

- The age distribution of cases

- Disease severity: 4 deaths in around 1000 cases have been identified but further work is needed to compare this fatality rate with comparable data sets.

- Antigenic escape. The location of the mutations in the receptor binding domain of the spike glycoprotein raises the possibility that this variant is antigenically distinct from prior variants.

Four probable reinfections have been identified amongst 915 subjects with this variant but further work is needed to compare this reinfection rate with comparable data sets.

• The committee discussed the geographic extent of spread of the variant:

- Within the UK, the variant is concentrated in the London, South East and East of England but has been detected in various parts of the UK.

- Few cases of this variant have been reported internationally but one confirmed export from the UK to Australia has been reported.

It was noted that other countries have lower sequencing capability than the UK.

I wonder if an AI controlled fighter jet might take out a speed camera thinking its an adversary locking onto it

"Kowal said the defect is “not an immediate safety concern.”"

This is incorrect, only the per spec design has had live stress testing.

The Australian Government has gone all in with O365 as well

"Specifically, federal investigators collected log entries for "a single, identified US Web page" showing IP addresses that accessed it from "a specified foreign country." The document names neither the site nor the country in question."

This is what was being done to some extent in Australia by isolating old peoples homes.

However most of these facilities are privately run, and are staffed with low paid workers on part time casual contracts to maximise profits.

The workers therefore need second and third jobs usually at more than one of these facilities and still with plently of contact with the rest of the community.

When the workers get sick with covid themselves thet cannot afford to isolate as they would be sacked and replaced, so they continue to work and infect all the facilities that they work at.

I think it would be more practical to build a helium filled temporary plastic tunnel around a rail gun over a few miles with a gradual curve up at the end so humans could use it.

Summary: We propose a methodology to look at violence in particular, and other aspects of quantitative historiography in general, in a way compatible with statistical inference, which needs to accommodate the fat-tailedness of the data and the unreliability of the reports of conflicts. We investigate the theses of “long peace” and drop in violence and find that these are statistically invalid and resulting from flawed and naive methodologies, incompatible with fat tails and non-robust to minor changes in data formatting and methodologies. There is no statistical basis to claim that “times are different” owing to the long inter-arrival times between conflicts; there is no basis to discuss any “trend”, and no scientific basis for narratives about change in risk. We describe naive empiricism under fat tails. We also establish that violence has a “true mean” that is underestimated in the track record. This is a historiographical adaptation of the results in Cirillo and Taleb (2016).

Sorry you are incorrect, Only in Class A is the whole of the signal contained in the operating area of the transistor, thus only class A amplifiers transfer the whole of the original signal on to each successive stage.

Class B C and D chop more and more out of the crossover point out of the signal as it passes through each stage.

Class A amplifiers are "high-end, audiophile quality", class D is about as low as you can go

I had never heard of this..

Seems it is for relieving emotional stress but i had only used it specifically to wake up at a specific time.

For those who this does not work..

Try tapping your forehead with forefinger while counting up to the time you want to wake up just before you close your eyes to go to sleep..

eg to wake at 6am...

tap six times while saying "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6"

Repeat 2 times, (3 times in total)

I didn't know Wikipedia had a half life..

I think this pages gives a better overview

What about when you splat on the ground? Is that not a force? Where did it come from?

Not having the exibition is at least as bad as changing it to satisfy chinese demands!

Yep! thats it, thanks!

I remember something on HN about large cooling systems for data centres being responsible for some of these hum noises, but i can't find the reference.
