What about the more expensive ones? Do they have 5G? What about bitcoin mining? Can we mine bitcoin with any of the vaccines?

#22So now you can be on the first page of HN with an April's fool article on April 7th?
Its a good example of a disapointing April fools joke polluting a serious issue.
People believe it's a serious issue now which distracts from real issues.

Post is dated March 30, I'd say sadly this was probably not intended as an April Fools joke.
Unless they're using the 'voltswagen' NTP server :P /lamejoke

#24My only question is: can I choose my carrier? I’ll be damned if I’m forced to Sprint network!!! Oh, and another, what kind of plan I am getting, can I upgrade it and most importantly, is it paid for by taxes or will I receive the bills? Either way, I hope it’s tax deductible at least!
No, it works only with Microsoft.
The good thing is that you get a free subscription to xCloud and you can play Xbox with your mind. If you get the extra vaccine you get also bluetooth support and you can use a joystick.

Sorry, it's Australia so it's all NBN...

#26I need some clarification on "connect me to the internet", does that means I can watch Youtube videos by simply closing my eyes? I can search on Google with my thoughts? Can I connect to my smart home so I can turn on the lights without saying a word?
well, you need to be a bit verbose I guess. Smile please, to like and frown to dislike.
If you are mad at a post then, you can just smash on the wall to show that reaction on person's FB wall :).

#27On the one hand believing such things can be viewed as funny.
On the other hand it is a quiet serious issue.
While deployed to the Solomon Islands 15 years ago in a very remote location, the indigenous folks thought our helicopters were stealing all their gold and diamonds with giant vacuum cleaners in our helicopters.
Comically ridiculous, but they were serious as a heart attack.
And there were a few very aggressively and violently leveraged those mistaken beliefs.
So we had to respond with great care for their concerns rather than just disparaging them.
Doesn’t the same apply here?
Confirmation bias of internet searches and conformity bias of online fringe communities can lead to quite persistent and amplified opposition.

#28Soon we'd read a story on HN "500 million brains got leaked, terabytes of private thoughts published online"
and, a clone of haveibeenpwned will popup asking people to enter their brain scans to check if their brain was in the leaked dataset :)

#29Is this true for all of the Covid-19 vaccinations? The page only references the 'Pfizer mRNA vaccine' one.
Curiously, does this mean that the Pfizer vaccine is the only one Australia is using/has access to currently?
