mhkool··on 50,000 BlockTogether Subscribers Pushing Twitter CEO to Dump Alex Jones/Infowars
I am not a big fan of Alex Jones, but... pushing somebody away from popular platforms because a percentage of the users do not like him or her for whatever reason is appalling. With this way of thinking the twitter account of The Rolling Stones -- who have less followers than Alex Jones -- can also be deleted quickly. Who is next?
mhkool··on Let's not forget about SNI
The only SNI that the ISP can see is the SNI of the DNS provider. The goal was to protect the DNS queries itself from eavesdropping and that is implemented.
mhkool··on Ask HN: Should Alex Jones or James Gunn be suppressed, free speech?
The platforms decide and the question is if that is good. If the platforms have a monopoly, and silence parties at will, it is bad for democracy.

I like to see a new law that regulates platforms with major influence. I have seen that Youtube took away the channel of Mika Adams, aka the Health Ranger, taken down. Youtube not responding to any attempt of conversation. Youtube putting the channel 3 weeks later back but with 50% of the followers "removed". We can only guess what Youtube was thinking but there should be a law against abusing the platform rules to ban somebody, even if that person did not break any platform rule. Removing a channel from Youtube has such a deep impact that one must be able, within reason, to be able to resolve issues. I am not a big fan of Alex Jones and think that most of the times he talks BS and some of the times he is probably right. I see no good reason to ban him.

mhkool··on I don't trust Signal
The article is clear: download from the Signal site is not secure.
mhkool··on The Problem with the Facebook Cafeteria and Free Food
One can have different opionions about whether is is a good/healthy thing to have a (free) restaurant inside a business. It goes way too far to dictate that an office cannot have a restaurant. Are we still living in a democracy?
mhkool··on Spectre via AVX Clock Speed Throttle?
The attack assumes that at the beginning of the attack the CPU is not in AVX clock throttle mode. The code should wait for the CPU in normal (non-throttle) mode before starting the attack.
mhkool··on Intel has no chance in servers and they know it
The article is mainly about price/performance and the author made clear that in this area Intel has no chance and that this remains until 2022 according to their own documents.
mhkool··on The US Is the Lowest Taxed Large Developed Economy in the World
Look around you. Do you see an overwhelming crowd of people delighted to pay low tax?
mhkool··on The US Is the Lowest Taxed Large Developed Economy in the World
"Low Tax" sounds great. Everybody would want that. Just a pity that so few people benefit from low tax.
mhkool··on Apple is removing Alex Jones and InfoWars’ podcasts from iTunes
If one forces a person to to talk freely in a backyard instead of of the main street, one is censoring him since no one can hear him any more. That is happening when Apple pushes Alex Jones out of iTunes.
mhkool··on What It’s Like to Have an ADHD Brain
I wish that the author has read a book of Dr Perlmutter who has wonderful results in treating ADHD.
mhkool··on Firefox’s Trusted Recursive Resolver DNS feature is dangerous
I rather use a DNS cloud that promises to wipe logs every 24 hours than a DNS server of an ISP who is guaranteed to spy on me.
mhkool··on Ask HN: Which domain registrant do you recommend?
easydns since they are no-nonsense with a great helpdesk with virtually no waiting time for phone support.
mhkool··on How can I build a fulfilling, less stressful business/career?
There is certainly a place for you. You "just" need to find it since nobody will present it to you. Be humble and accept (almost) anything that you can use to gain experience. One you get started, things will look different after a year.

mhkool··on Ask HN: What is likely to improve with 10/7nm CPUs?
all of the above can happen. smaller transsistors give you room to put more transistors on a chip or reduce the power. One can do a mix also. So vendors choose what is going to happen. In the competition between Intel and AMD I see that Intel only wins on one point: single thread performance. So to compete better AMD will do its utmost best to improve their single thread performance.
mhkool··on Activist Publishes 11,000 Private DMs Between Wikileaks and Its Supporters
Does saying "he is jewish" make you a rascist ?
mhkool··on GM crop ruling shows why the EU’s laws are wholly inadequate
In my view the ruling of the court is consistent with the law and the court's decision is therefore correct.

I think it is a matter of culture where most Americans tend to like "allow until proven harmful" and most Europeans tend to like "forbid until proven harmless" and hence most Americans are frustrated by the consistent ruling.

mhkool··on The amyloid hypothesis on trial
Yesterday news came out that AHNP Precision Health, which bought the lab of Dr Bredesen, is now using the protocol to treat patients: https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/ahnp-precisi... AHNP Precision Health is here: https://www.ahnphealth.com/
mhkool··on The amyloid hypothesis on trial

mhkool··on The amyloid hypothesis on trial
There are no more published results. In interviews Dr Bredesen confirms that the patients after 4 years on the protocol still are without Alzheimer. One more anecdotal story: one patient did not like the protocol and stopped, Alzheimer returned, started the protocol again, Alzheimer reversed. This happened various times with the same patient. Make your own conclusions/assumptions.

There is a new study with ~100 patients but is is not yet finished.

mhkool··on The amyloid hypothesis on trial
ok, you do want to get it. This doctor publishes data about 10 patients that are made up.
mhkool··on The amyloid hypothesis on trial
Sorry, not yet. There is a new study going on with ~100 patients and the only comment that was made is "the results are similar to the first one".
mhkool··on The amyloid hypothesis on trial
BUT if you do the whole package, Alzheimer goes away. I suggest to read https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4221920/
mhkool··on The amyloid hypothesis on trial
you did not get it. Dr Bredesen does reverse Alzheimer in 9 out of 10 patients. No theory or BS here.
mhkool··on The amyloid hypothesis on trial
Too many companies want to cure a disease with a drug. It is understandable since a drug can be patented and the company can make a profit. Unfortunately this means that diseases that do not require a drug never get cured.... Unless you name is Dr Dale Bredesen. Dr Bredesen has a methododoly instead of a drug to reverse Alzheimer. He has published about it and reverses Alzheimer in 9 out 10 patients and is currently doing new studies with a larger number of patients. TL;DR go to bed at 10 PM, do stress management, exercise a little, eat well and take supplements (blood tests determine which ones), and take a couple of other substances that our body needs, Alzheimer's disappears in less than 4 months.
mhkool··on Facebook Refuses to Take Action on Anti-Vaccine Pages
In the article on complex.com the author talks about statements of the anti-vaccine group that are "scientificly unproven" and thinks that is sufficient to simply not believe them. This is a logical error since there was never any scientific research investigating the link between vaccines and diseases, but there is data that indicates that there might be a link and the scientific research should be done.

Today I received a message that JFK Junior was banned from facebook because he is urging for scientific research since before the vaccine explosion in 1989 only 14% of children had diseases and today 55% of children have diseases. I suggest to look at the banned video and conclude if facebook was right to ban the request for scientific research here: https://www.real.video/5813705248001

mhkool··on Ask HN: Does anyone have something negative to say about RISC-V?
There is no RISC-V-based computer commercially available.
mhkool··on CRAM: Efficient Hardware-Based Memory Compression for Bandwidth Enhancement
RAM access time has not gotten much faster, only bandwidth increases.
mhkool··on Is This the Moment for RISC-V?
RISC-V is an open source ISA but there is not yet and open source RISC-V CPU. RISC-V is interesting and I believe that there is a market for it, although not very large since RISC-V is not innovative enough, is not a leap forward in anything and basically uses old technology with an "open source ISA" sauce on top of it.

So yes, RISC-V will grow, but not no great heights. For spectacular new CPUs one needs new technologies which are being developed. Rex Computing is developing the NEO CPU which is try to get rid of the memory bandwidth bottleneck while going for a chip with 256 cores. Mill Computing is developing a very innovative CPU that has solutions for many small and large issues that slow down performance of CPUs of Intel, AMD, IBM, Oracle and HP, while also targeting to reduce the power needs by 10x. These CPUs will surprise the market.
