mhkool··on Mueller Finally Solves Mysteries About Russia’s ‘Fancy Bear’ Hackers
I find it difficult to believe that the source code of allegedly Russian malware was found. Is there any proof of that ?
mhkool··on Remove the search engine setting. Hard-code the search engine to Google
gosh, Google likes to have another $5B fine.
mhkool··on WhatsApp limits message forwarding in bid to reduce spam and misinformation
I am sure that it reduces fake news. I also expect that it can block real but rare mega news events like "the president was attacked" or "tsunami on its way to California".
mhkool··on 24% of Tesla Model 3 orders have been canceled, analyst says
The article is biased (Musk sleeping at the factory is something bad) and has incorrect information (Musk did not reach targets).

It is to be expected that consumers cancel since it takes to long to get their new car. This does not mean that that hate Tesla. They are disappointed that they cannot get their dream car today.

mhkool··on The Astonishingly High Administrative Costs of U.S. Health Care
The reason that health care costs rise in almost all countries is that we are doing something wrong. The question is what? Can it be that doctors who do not try to find the root causes of diseases have no solutions ? Can it be that doctors who prescribe drugs to suppress symtoms cause problems in the long run ?

Cancer is a disease with high costs where a lot can be gained. Watch a documentary about Dr Burzynski who has a cure for various types of cancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBUGVkmmwbk The documentary shows how officials and the National Cancer Institute work against him and hence continue the high cost.

On websites like https://drhyman.com and https://www.chriskresser.com you can find doctors who explain a lot about root causes of diseases and how to cure oneself. If all would read these sites the costs for health would drop more than 50%.

mhkool··on Why Google Just Got Hit with a Record $5B Fine
in simple words: Google got fined for the same reason Microsoft got fined many years ago when then enforced Internet Explorer on Windows.
mhkool··on Google clearly doesnt want you to uninstall default chrome browser on Android
Google is fined for the exact same reason that Microsoft was fined many years ago for enforcing Internet Explorer on Windows.
mhkool··on Sincerely looking for honest feedback (welcome harsh comments also)
The test does not accept a URL with https, but instead strips https. This has a large impact on performance, since my http-based website redirects to the https-based website.
mhkool··on Sincerely looking for honest feedback (welcome harsh comments also)
The free test has parameters that does not make sense: a desktop usually has a cable, not Wifi.
mhkool··on Why diagnosing Alzheimer’s today is so difficult–and how we can do better
I wrote yesterday a polite comment on Gates' blog about the fantastic work of Dr Dale Bredesen reversing Alzheimer, but the comment has not appeared on the blog....

Here is a testimony of Bredesen's patients: http://abc7news.com/health/heres-how-patients-say-they-rever...

mhkool··on European Commission fines Google €4.34B in Android antitrust case
The European law that was used to fine Google is old and Google was warned since many years ago Microsoft was fined because it used its powers to force Internet Explorer to be the only pre-installed browser on Windows. It seems that Google knowingly broke the law.
mhkool··on Android has created more choice, not less
Sundar Pichai is missing the point: a monopolist is not allowed to abuse its position to enforce products and severly reduce choice. Sundar appears not to remember that Microsoft was fined many years ago since it forced Internet Explorer with its Operating System. Also Google must obey the law. So stop crying, pay the fine and think carefully before abusing your power again.
mhkool··on Ask HN: What are your predictions on the server CPU market for 2019?
Management of Intel is accustomed to have 60% profits and need a mind change and a price drop. I foresee that AMD will get a lot of market share: 30-50% and I use this wide range since besides price/performance there is also the factor of security. Looking at Spectre et al. AMD has a safer product. Last but not least, a single EPYC CPU is also an I/O monster: 128 PCI lanes for AMD vs 40 PCI lanes for Intel.
mhkool··on Ask HN: What are the best books on health and diet tailored towards students?
"Eat Fat Get Thin" by Dr Mark Hyman. The book explains what you need to do get in shape and how to stay in shape. caveat: to be healthy you most likely need to change your lifestyle. Many do not want to change their lifestyle and consequently stay unhealthy.
mhkool··on Unsupervised learning for comprehensive forecasting of Alzheimer’s Disease
Dr Dale Bredesen reverses Alzheimer's for at least 5 years and in his view there are 3 different causes of Alzheimer and hence patients need to get one of 3 treatments.

There is nothing mysterious about the treatment of Bredesen: he optimises the functioning of the whole body with optimization of 36 parameters. Varying from sleep, exercise, Magnesium, Zinc, to stress management.

mhkool··on Analyzing potential bounds check bypass vulnerabilities [pdf]
Interesting. Intel now says that security must be implemented in software instead of hardware.
mhkool··on Russian company (mail.ru) had access to Facebook user data through apps
Facebook managers are so happy to make money that they sell data to anybody.
mhkool··on An Arkansas man complained about police abuse. Then officials ruined his life
This is not the first video of misbehaving police officers that I have seen... The commentary at the end of the article explains it all: police officers are trained to act like this. The fact that the number of arrests is a measure of how well the department works, is also not helping.
mhkool··on 30 healthcare leaders under 40 using technology to shape the future of medicine
From the 30 companies, the only one that tries to solve medical problems by going to the root cause: no 23. uBiome.com and the only one that has a helpful product: no 30. neopenda.com
mhkool··on Approximate Computing for On-Chip AI Acceleration: IBM Research at VLSI
The chip looks a lot like the NEO CPU of Rex Computing.
mhkool··on Topsoil Re-Uptake of CO2 Is a Major Solution to Climate Progression
yup, Allan Savory talked about this in his TED talk and has already converted 15 million acres of desert to grass lands. He calculated that if all deserts are converted to grass lands, the CO2 problem is gone.
mhkool··on Bacteria-detecting strip of plastic film could make best-before dates irrelevant
A bacteria-detecting strip encourages companies to use more anti-bacterial toxins on food and that is a very bad thing. For those unfamiliar with the human microbiome: the gut of a healthy person has 3 pounds of bacteria, of which 85% are "good" bacteria. Scientific research has shown that killing your beneficial gut bacteria (with antibacterial toxins) is linked to a long list of nasty illnesses. Note that packaged meat in the supermarket already has a anti-bacterial spray of which the law says that it does not have to mentioned on the label.
mhkool··on Overview of Intel SGX – Part 1, SGX Internals
The fact that all SGX instructions are implemented with microcode makes it insecure since microcode can be overwritten and the process using the enclave will never know it.
mhkool··on [dead]
From Brazil: HTTP in 4.223 seconds and HTTPS in 8.691 seconds.
mhkool··on Biology Student Discovers Plastic-Eating Bacteria
With a bacteria that convert PET into something else, there is a toxic byproduct: BPA. I suggest that the student continues the research for BPA-eating bacteria.
mhkool··on Ask HN: How popular are internationalized domain names?
I just counted the domain names starting with the xn-- punnycode in the URL database of URLfilterDB and the punnicode URLs are 0.02% of all domains.
mhkool··on Ask HN: Has Google search becomes particularly poor in past few months?
Just a theory: Google's user tracking is very advanced so they thought it is time to present search results based on your profile. So when you search for something outside your profile... the results are poor. This algorithm works for probably 90% of the users.
mhkool··on Ask HN: How to find a mental health professional?
Most therapists do not know the root cause of mental diseases. I recently watched a docuseries about mental diseases by Dr Mark Hyman at www.brokenbrain.com where some 50 doctors explain various causes of brain diseases. It is an understatement to say that you will be shocked at the end of the docuseries. I strongly recommend watching it.
mhkool··on The Western world’s dysfunctional approach to treating misunderstood diseases
The experience of Aaron with medicin is the same as my wife and my mother have. I started to read about functional medicine, where the focus is on finding the root cause of a disease, and my wife went to a doctor that practises functional medicine. Since functional medicine looks at the whole body as a whole and understand all processes that happen in the body, they come to very different insights and treatments than the common allopatic medicine. If you are interested in understanding how your body works (you do not have to be a doctor to understand!), I suggest to go to the websites of Dr Mark Hyman and Dr Chris Kresser: https://www.drhyman.com and https://chriskresser.com to get started.

Note that many people may have a thyroid system failure after having a disease and "more or less be cured" from it. This is called the Wilson Temperature Syndrome which you can verify yourself by measuring your temperature at wakeup+3 hours, wakeup+6 hours, wakeup+9 hours. For proper accuracy, measurement must be done with a alcohol or mercury thermometer and holding it 6 minutes under the tongue. The average must be 98.6 F (37.0 C). If it is 0.2 lower, one probably has the syndrome. Fortunately, the treatment for a real cure is simple and cheap.

mhkool··on Dumb and dumber: why we’re getting less intelligent
One of the causes of the decay of IQ is known: toxins. On NaturalNews.com is an article that refers to 3 scientific studies: https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-06-10-pesticides-stupid-agr...
