Deaths are also only attributed to Vaccinated category after 14 days from the second dose, else it’s a “unvaccinated” death.
This is the first vaccine ever where you can die 13 days after a vaccine, and be classified unvaccinated. It’s just magical how “science” to advance “public health” works.
You've made a lot of claims on this post, but can you cite a source behind your statement of "This is the first vaccine ever where you can die 13 days after a vaccine, and be classified unvaccinated."? It also makes sense, since you've taken a vaccine, but you have not developed the expected antibodies until ~14 days.
it sounds like you’re using the post covid-19 definition of Vaccine.
It’s amazing that the definition of a word like vaccine could change suddenly, because it is was incompatible to one virus — a mysterious super virus whose origin is still unknown, according to the WHO.
wait till they IPO. They will need to show growth and will erode away old reddit features, with more nags and modals to switch to the “new experience” — so they can boost ad revenue
The push to open web links in a mobile app has already become a PITA
they already do it in other ways like having certain features unsupported on the old reddit app. old reddit also shows a cookie modal that if you click it takes you to new reddit because it doesn't exist on old reddit
Most big tech companies got out of or significantly scaled back their blockchain business, it is solution chasing a problem. The web3 people apparently haven’t caught on yet
I think secretly they are aiming for the digital currency aspect of blockchain, e.g. Bitcoin but couldn't understand how it works as MBA schools havn't mint out bitcoin graduates yet. Maybe in abother 10 years.
The problem is infinitely printable FIAT, controlled by corrupt and incompetent politicians that is very slow and very expensive to to transact overseas and mutable.
The solution is 100x faster, cheaper, more secure, immutable, less prone to fraud and limited in supply.
Those are problems in theory, but I don’t think most people are concerned or affected by them. I’m certainly not.
I never need to transfer money quickly between accounts — it’s never once been a problem to wait a couple days. And sure there are real economic problems with printing money, but again, the government does a decent enough job at keeping the dollar stable that it doesn’t affect me.
And there’s the fact that the US gov has tons of power to maintain the validity of the fiat dollar through legislation, and as a backup they have the use of force through police and jail (in the case of tax evasion, or avoiding the laws). Then there are international alliances, and there’s the largest military in the world also with a strong interest in maintaining the dollar’s value.
So I’m not worried about the value of the US dollar in the long term — at least I certainly trust it more than a purely technical solution with none of the US Gov benefits.
Faster: I don’t have any problem with speed of USD transactions. In fact, most transactions are faster than crypto via credit cards or cash.
Cheaper: there are $0 transaction fees for cash, and low fees for credit.
Secure: US laws do a decent enough job
Fraud: crypto exchanges get hacked and there is often no recourse — if my credit card is stolen, there are laws that protect me
Limited supply: by definition, that makes the currency deflationary, which is horrible for a growing economy. And it’s obvious in bitcoin. Nobody spends money today if it’ll be worth more tomorrow — that’s why everyone just buys and holds bitcoin as an investment, not uses it as a currency
You’re saying that you trust the government a lot in making sure the dollar value stays stale, however, it has lost 30% or more since the start of the pandemic if you look at price increases of commodities, so you are already very wrong.
It might not matter to you that sending cross border transactions have very high fees, because you live in a first world country and are rich, but 99% of the world aren’t as rich as you.
Watson became a marketing term after the company spent hundreds of millions to brand Watson to be synonymous with AI. The term Watson then got appended to existing businesses as it allowed them all to benefit from the brand equity and Watson ads. This unfortunately happened even if there wasn’t any AI capabilities, so it eventually backfired.
Watson Health seems to have been focused on selling the narrative of AI in healthcare, even though the technology wasn’t there.
The divestiture is only for IP also, and it seems most people in the group will be laid off.
As someone with no inside knowledge, it seemed to me that watson started as a technology (or maybe solution/set of solutions) and as time went on, it was pivoted to be a brand? Hard to tell for sure with how difficult it is to get IBM to answer questions about what they actually do...
Worked for IBM for three years, this is accurate. To solve some clients problem we would build an ML solution from scratch just like everyone else, and then try to shoehorn some Watson service into it so we could use the Watson Brand to distinguish our product.
The solutions we built were generally pretty good and our clients were happy, but the Watson part was never anything more than marketing,
every phone is chatty, unless you have a pi-hole equivalent when you're not on your secured home network, there's a lot of data being exchanged with every manufacturer.
True, but phoning home for telemetry to make better devices and out-compete the market is not great, but phoning home to censor and repress discussion on human rights violations is all together evil.
But that's the point. So many people hyping web3 like it's going to be fundamentally different which is why it's worth all these resources (both people and energy), when it appears already heading down the same path as web2. Consolidated companies growing very large and getting a bunch of already known VCs even richer.
It's like a populist movement whose goal is to enrich the existing rich.
The behavior was reckless and the crash seems nothing out of the ordinary, this seems to be about telling everyone they have a tesla and they got in a crash... as if it's something novel. This video will be used against the driver to raise their insurance rates.
