pil4rin··on Clinical trial of mRNA universal influenza vaccine candidate begins
“A universal influenza vaccine would be a major public health achievement and could eliminate the need for both annual development of seasonal influenza vaccines, as well as the need for patients to get a flu shot each year,”

So, one shot and no more flu? ever?

pil4rin··on The DOJ sues Google, wants to break company up
How is Microsoft more of a monopoly than Google?
pil4rin··on Miracle weight loss drug Ozempic can cause facial aging and other health issues
Tim Ferriss once said there is no biological free lunch, and that really stuck with me. Anytime you see miracle in a health food/drug know your body will be paying for it one way or another
pil4rin··on Tesla’s Price Cuts Are Roiling the Car Market
Weird tests here, I bought a Tesla model y long range last year and can confirm a single charge gets >300 miles in real world driving conditions, not sure where their numbers came from.
pil4rin··on Microsoft Bets Big on the Creator of ChatGPT in Race to Dominate A.I
Were there any studies on incorporating initial search to the young internet prior to deploying that to millions of people? Google started in a similar way. Worst case you get bad search results which is where Bing is already.
pil4rin··on Devirtualizing nike.com's bot protection
People desire the shoes due to the scarcity. Producing more supply would lead to a commodity and less popular shoe/brand over time. No one talks about shaq shoes from Walmart because they are using the model you are suggesting
pil4rin··on Netflix’s Prices Are Rising Faster Than Cable
How would the compression change for OLED vs standard LCD etc? I guess it could be generally bad but only noticeable on a OLED?
pil4rin··on Ask HN: I was hit with a patent troll lawsuit, how do I deal with it?
Get a lawyer. Their advice will probably be settle.
pil4rin··on Apple doesn't care about album cover art
Yeah, looks like a device specific issue wrapped with a preference on margin around the artwork. Apple could shut this guy up by expanding the album art full screen when tapped in the player view.
pil4rin··on Amazon buys 11 Boeing 767s to expand its cargo fleet
likely because the 767 size & range is larger.
pil4rin··on YouTube-dl's repository has been restored
By this right, Zoom/ Google Meet / Teams have screen recording that would allow for this as well. How deep should we go down this hypothetical rabbithole?
pil4rin··on Tesla's batteries aim to rework the math for electric cars and the grid
What would be the incentive for this? There is still a heavy demand for cars 30k+, why would they stop doing that for a cheaper car when they are selling every car they are producing at a higher profit? This is currently an issue of manufacturing capacity, accompanied by a demand curve the 3 set in place.
pil4rin··on Coronavirus has disrupted supply chains for nearly 75% of U.S. companies
By imposing a draconian lock down on all citizens (even those who havent tested positive)? I guess...
pil4rin··on Forget Silicon Valley, It Still Pays More to Be a Doctor in America
And an astounding amount of educational debt, with boundaries on where you can practice.
pil4rin··on Developers don't understand CORS
Wood tastes better
pil4rin··on Its butterfly keyboard design has failed, but Apple has yet to admit its mistake
Same!
pil4rin··on Online courses don't work, but education can still be disrupted
Sweeping generalities don't work.
pil4rin··on Out of all major energy sources, nuclear is the safest
Not to mention not having some nuclear waste to store for the rest of the foreseeable future.
pil4rin··on Mac Pro 2 Concept Design
No USB-C? also, what's the point of including the Thunderbolt 2 ports, I thought Thunderbolt 3 was backwards compatible. Sweet design other than that.
pil4rin··on Steve Wozniak has warned about killing off the headphone jack in the iPhone 7
Never?
pil4rin··on NSA tracking cellphone locations worldwide, Snowden documents show (2013)
We'd dump your tea out in the harbor again.
pil4rin··on Booz Allen Hamilton gets $182M to build recreation.gov
182 Million to (re)build a site created in 2014?
pil4rin··on The Sugar Conspiracy
Maintaining a reduced calorie diet seems to be the issue, most people cannot do this.
pil4rin··on [dead]
I read somewhere recently (likely reddit) that this could likely be an election year strategy to vilify the opposing party, as Congress will likely shut this down.

That ties them, and the party to support of non-renewable energy sources, which are not exactly popular among voters(there might have been a specific demographic attached to that, but I'm not certain).

Even if this turns out to be the strategy, I think your idea about a commitment to US jobs would only help- not sure why he didn't do that..

pil4rin··on Elon Musk personally cancels blogger's Tesla order after 'rude' post
But tesla would still be the manufacturer? How would a dealership benefit in any way? If there were others that didn't use the silly dealership model, you could go to them and buy an electric car on the internet. But tesla is first to market with an electric car at this scale, sure it can be seen as bad press to decline a pre-order, but introducing additional hands in the mix in no way would fix this situation. The problem lies with a lack of competition on this one- If tesla had any real competition, and supply constrains, do you honestly think a pre-order would be canceled?
pil4rin··on How China accumulated $28T in debt
You wouldn't consider India or many parts of Africa a growth market?
pil4rin··on Big Company vs. Startup Work and Compensation
Is this true? if so, how can sites like angel.co exist? I believe I can invest in most of the startups right now on there..
pil4rin··on Angular 2 Beta released
No, NativeScript is a Telerik product. Angular is a Google/ Open Source project. I'm not sure how they are related, I haven't seen anyone use the two in conjunction.
pil4rin··on Towns want Verizon investigated for abandoning networks through neglect
Yeah, except many (most in my area) healthcare providers do not have fixed rates for service, and prices that are offered are often just estimates, with no real recourse if the estimate is off by a wide margin.

My wife had elective surgery- I had a high deductible plan at the time with an HSA account. When we asked what the total cost would be, the quote was ~$1100. The total bills that came to us were well over three times that. There is no real recourse for this, we wrote letters, called governing agencies in our area and were nearly sent to collections before I just paid for it.

Free market capitalism is far from what we have in almost every service-based industry in my experience, and companies fight tooth and nail to ensure it stays that way.
