After 5 replies, there isn't much room for logic. Trolls gonna troll... you should consider that.

I can help. Fly out, I got a guest room. I guarantee you won't regret it.

I wouldn't want to be a part of anything that denied the truth in favor of civility.

Dang, I thought you would have understood that.

What do you call it when someone pees into someone else's pee sample?

Heavy handed moderators are obviously to blame.

Still ignorant and wrong tho...
hashtagmarkup··on Ok Google: please publish your DKIM secret keys
You're absolutely right... the other person was ignorant and wrong.

I'm not the person who said outting people as gay was productive. The other person claimed it could be destructive.
hashtagmarkup··on Ok Google: please publish your DKIM secret keys
Because the DKIM keys were not made public, and a message sent from their account could be confirmed to be authentic.

If the keys were public, they could claim forgery. Regardless they could claim their account was hacked, but they couldn't deny the message was sent from their account.

It doesn't at all. You're misunderstanding. Or, are you using the word "literally" in the modern sense of "not literally"?
hashtagmarkup··on Ok Google: please publish your DKIM secret keys
By making the DKIM keys public, you are converting solid evidence of something that was said into something that was either really said, or someone else pretended that they said.

Evidence was destroyed.

As a hand-waving technical pedantic, you are literally correct.

But, "literally" actually has a specific meaning in english, and it's not always to be literal.

> Being gay is not a crime, and yet people can be blackmailed with it. It is very easy to open yourself up to blackmail by perfectly legitimate activities.

Option 1: DKIM keys stay private... "That email was just a joke, I'm not really gay" Option 2: DKIM keys go public... "That email was just someone else's joke, I'm not really gay"

Not really a difference, and with option 2 you can't prove you didn't send it (as far as you can prove someone didn't crack 2048 bit RSA and use that power to concern themselves with your sex life).

Being able to prove a fascist dictator who was killing people for being gay, was secretly engaging in gay acts themselves, might help your cause of protecting gay people.

You're misunderstanding how destruction of evidence works.

Yes. We are saying the same thing.

> The threat is not limited to politicians. Anyone (including you and your family members) could be blackmailed or otherwise publicly embarrassed.

... for what they actually did.

You think the solution is allowing people to be blackmailed or otherwise publicly embarrassed for things they didn't do, while removing their ability to verify that they didn't do them?

Except your "backyard shed" is actually an uncountable number of your cells that are "edited" (changed using the reprogramming abilities inherent to mRNA, but god forbid you refer to it as such) into not being "backyard sheds" anymore, but being factories for spike proteins that can't be stopped other than waiting for the fire to burn out. After a few weeks, you don't get your "backyard shed" back, because the craftsman destroyed it.

This isn't about funding... this is about taking a giant leap into mRNA vaccines, that until now have not been approved for human use. We aren't injecting processed proteins into our bloodstream to trigger and train our immune systems... We are reprogramming our bodies into vaccine factories.

They screwed up by putting themselves in this position where their only hope for a future is desperately trying to distance themselves from what they've done and who they are.

Do you know what "reflection" means? You're not making any sense.

This doesn't really have anything to do with Google and Facebook. Did you read the article?

It struck me too... but as completely wrong. A large majority of my work is in APIs, both as a consumer and provider; between local processes, local networks, and the global internet. Every program I build talks to other programs... a lot. If there is any problem at all, it's not that programs don't talk to each other; it's that they talk 1 of 1,000 different standards.

In addition to that being a fact, synthetic mRNA can predominantly reprogram cells to create arbitrary proteins, which provides additional stability and protects the programmer.

Oh... so you only thought of 1 fungus, and then concluded that there couldn't be any drug at all... by and large.

I guess you never learned 1 =/= ∞.

Your off switch is probably stuck.

It's never been approved for human testing *until now under the administration of a lame duck lunatic begging for a reason to take credit for a solution.

How did those cancer treatments pan out? Why weren't they FDA approved?

One conclusion I got in a mathematical logic exam so many many moons ago was how something being "not as X" still implied that something was "somewhat X".... so just because "RNA is not as suitable as DNA for storing genetic information", essentially it still is somewhat suitable, and perhaps suitable enough.

Maybe you could have started your thinking with the #1 abused drug in the world, heroin; and the nearly instant off switch drug, narcan, that is carried by everyone in emergency medical services.

How much is pfizer paying you? or are you just a r/wsb autist? #YOLO

I don't know why you don't see the difference between similar symptoms and similar mechanisms.

A compromised immune system spiraling out of control attacking itself looks the same from the outside.

I do know where you're not getting information from, as there isn't any... because it's never been approved for human testing.

Yeah... and that's why cowpox was bad.

If your immune system realizes the source of the spike proteins is your own reprogrammed cells, and then attacks them, it will lead to cascade autoimmune disorders mimicking the symptoms of AIDS.

This isn't like the first person biting into a new apple variety for the first time... this is like the first person growing an apple from scratch in their stomach, using techniques that have never before been approved for human use.

I can't think of a single existing drug that works like that, because there hasn't been one. Food doesn't reprogram my cells before it "goes out".

They have never been approved for human use, so you might want to check sources on that data.
