Yes. Basically none. The vaccines have been given to almost a billion people. And side effects have been tracked. How can we find this number? We already have it. If there was anyt…

for all the talk of "vaccine passports", not a single state has done it. Biden said he wasnt going to do it months ago. Not a single country has done it in all of the earth. if I w…

You're indirectly admitting that I'm right. The anti vaccine crowd is desperate for a non vaccine cure, because the vaccine is so incredibly effective their beliefs fall apart othe…

The vaccines are a miracle drug. Less than one in a million people that have gotten both doses of mRNA vaccines have died of COVID. It's one of the biggest infectious disease succe…

Yes. Anybody trying to rationalize not getting one of the extremely effective vaccines will be grasping at straws for any other effective treatment. It's a natural outcome. The vac…

We already have a drug that's 99% effective at keeping you out out hospital. And it's only a single/double dose. It's the COVID vaccine. Any other treatment is basically unnecessar…

Many people pushing Ivermectin have a vested interest in proving the vaccines are unnecessary. It may work, but that's why you get recommendations for "vaccine made me magnetic" an…

Eh true. And it's not disdain, those companies are great for what they do. The guy above just implied they sucked, which isn't the case. They're great for their target market

I've had bad experiences with counterfeit components on AliExpress. It's rare to get anything real and unused.

SparkFun and Adafruit are great, but they're for casuals. If you're building breadboard prototypes there's nothing better than Digikey and Mouser.

The atmosphere at low altitude burns off tons of energy. I don't think we'll ever achieve ballistic launch from earth surface, but that's just my opinion :)

One day, Rust needs a GC. Reference counting is a just crappy GC. Modern GC can perform better than this so Rust is actually hurting its own performance by not having one. A good G…

LLVM has built in hooks for GC, used by Azul's Zing JVM JIT compiler and perhaps Safari's LLVM JS JIT. I'm not sure if the GC integration is tied to JIT support or not. I think it'…

In the future, we may have better ways of escaping earth than our brute force rockets. If we can use our atmosphere as oxidizer, like planes do, we could get to orbit with far bett…

Agreed. For all the problems with ERCOT, Texas does have an astoundingly high penetration of renewable sources that makes programs like this extremely useful. High renewable penetr…

I got an Aeron and I don't like it. Mesh chairs aren't as cushioned, Aeron included. You can easily feel the border between mesh and frame and it gets painful after sitting for hou…

I left a bad review for one of these company's products on Amazon a while back because it caught fire when plugged in. Somehow they got my email address and keep sending me vaguely…

Excursion is related to frequency. A sure way to blow most up is turn bass to the max. Some speakers have bandpass filters. Cheap ones usually don't

I may be typical but it's nuts. Send your secret police to harass your critics whenever an important date is coming up.

The tech giants are scum. They either look the other way or hire proxies to do their dirty work like the mob. I was tangentially involved in a project for one of them that was so s…

Yes and I proved to you either that was a mistake or it's outdated because it says on the same website's FAQ that COVID vaccine requires reporting. Yet you're still posting it as i…

That I was right that there's no specific reason why COVID vaccine was missing from a random PDF? Some people are desperately searching for any evidence that COVID vaccine is more …

Sideloading is always panned under the guise of security. It's all bs. * If the devices were secure enough, we could run untrusted code with no consequences. Like practically every…

Lots of conjecture and inferences made from the study with no backing evidence. Implying flu deaths are correlated with vaccination, when there's no data about overall flu numbers …

In the US I frequently see this: Guy hired as CEO Guy gets such absurd compensation he becomes a near billionaire and major stockholder after ~5 years. Guy is elected to the board …
