The current title is misleading. The PM (of Macron's government) was ousted; Macron is still the president.

Again, the result holds for all M3 Pro models. The Apple M3 Pro 11-Core even takes the lead in terms of efficiency in some of the benchmarks. The text makes multiple direct compari…

You can add other M3 models for some of the efficiency benchmarks. The headline still holds true when comparing to M3 Pro models (though the exact efficiency diff depends quite a b…

I'm perfectly happy with the performance of my iPhone SE (2020), and it's still receiving software updates, but the battery is severely degraded. The same was true for my first-gen…

It's very common for discussions on this topic to only look at one particular factor and use it to fit some narrative one believes to be correct. Mentioning the difference in popul…

They put a lot of money into long-term bonds before the latest interest rate hikes. These bonds now sell at a discount, so they can no longer cover all deposits by selling them.

Inactivated COVID-19 vaccines (that is, vaccines using virus copies that have been killed - live vaccines would be ones where the virus has been weakened) have been a thing for som…

> Also, Hep C, HIV and herpes have no vaccine, so unclear what your statement is referring to anyway? OP is talking about more vaccines as possible future mitigations - more vaccin…

Let's look at some studies: > Participants washed their gloved hands with a suspension of MS2 bacteriophage and hands were dried with one of the three hand-drying devices. [...] Ov…

That's correct. Sberbank Europe is registered as an Austrian bank, so the Austrian equivalent of the FDIC has to cover deposits of up to 100K per client.

There's no mention of encryption at rest using your own key . To quote the ruling: > If the second respondent (Google) subsequently refers to encryption technologies - such as the …

I've had this issue before - some combination of relaunching System Preferences, toggling the "iCloud Mail" checkbox and smashing "OK" repeatedly eventually made it work.

My understanding is that existing inactivated (whole-virus) vaccines perform worse than mRNA-based spike-targeting vaccines when it comes to neutralization. Here's a small study co…

There are plenty of countries where the vaccination rate is too low to effectively prevent the healthcare system from being overrun. In Austria, we were in another lockdown due to …

This study[1] shows 70% effectiveness against hospitalization for the Pfizer vaccine (based on a two-dose regime; the level of protection would likely be significantly higher for b…

Public health authorities regularly perform that kind of risk-benefit analysis. Here's one by the FDA looking at the 5-11 age group: https://www.fda.gov/media/153507/download My un…

Do we know how large this effect is for the unvaccinated? I'm still not sure if the numbers we're seeing from countries with relatively high seroprevalence through either vaccinati…

We're talking about ~1:10000 odds for one specific vaccine when vaccinating young males, which is why many countries are no longer using that vaccine for this demographic. Other va…

Current variants are significantly more infectious (R0 used to be around 2.5-3.0 for the ancestral strain, Delta was 5+, Omicron estimates go up to 10). Vaccine efficacy is also re…

I've been using LastPass for work since mid-2018 as well as uBlock origin for Chrome; no blocked login notification so far.

The likely higher transmissibility in combination with a generally more elderly population and vaccination gaps among older individuals in some European countries (e.g. Germany) co…

That quote is slightly misleading. It only looks at the SAR of vaccinated index cases. That makes sense because the letter is about the epidemiological relevance of vaccinated peop…
