mhkool··on Ask HN: Should I sign my new job contract prior to my interview trip refund?
I suggest that you call them and ask when they pay the expenses. Note that 12 days is not an awful long time.
mhkool··on Vevo could have been ‘an existential threat’ to YouTube, but YouTube won
The newest threat to Youtube is Youtube itself. Many content makers are complaining about the AI of Youtube that misunderstands text and videos and forces content makers to take down their own videos. I have also seen channels go down and the owners complaining since they cannot communicate with a real person and have no explanation why their channel is taken down.
mhkool··on How a domain registrar can kill your business
I recommend using easydns.com as the registrar and DNS service. Their email helpdesk is fast: <30 minutes. They answer the phone immediately and they are knowledgeable. Phone support is during business hours, but the more expensive packages have 24hour support.

And yeah, you need to have a lot of faith to use .io or other new TLDs which are serviced by new companies.

mhkool··on The data scientist behind the Cambridge Analytica scandal fires back at Facebook
Zuck? no, better call him Suck!
mhkool··on Alzheimer’s Disease Damage Completely Erased in Human Cells
Dr Dale Bredesen already reverses Alzheimer in 9 out of 10 patients so it may not be a surprise that I am not impressed with experiments on human cells outside the body.
mhkool··on FBI makes it official: Russia is attacking US energy, water, critical systems
I just simply do not believe that the Russian government is behind this (I also do not believe that Kaspersky Antivirus is evil either). This smells like another false flag that the government creates before going to war. It has a tendency of doing that.

Since Energy and Water is a potential terrorist target for a very long time it should have the best security one can find and anyone being able to break in is a reason to be ashamed and to fire a couple of guys.

mhkool··on We Need New Ways of Treating Depression
www.brokenbrain.com is what you should look at.
mhkool··on Simple blood test spots dementia protein
The cure has already been invented. Just read the articles of Dr Dale Bredesen.
mhkool··on Simple blood test spots dementia protein
Dr Dale Bredesen cures 90% of patients with Alzheimer, so I do not see much value in this type of research.

Note that the cure of Bredesen is a method and not a medicin in the form of a pill.

mhkool··on Alzheimers Drug Turns Back the Clock in Mitochondria
"An experimental drug J147 reverses some symptoms of Alzheimer" but "researchers had to resolve the mystery of how it works". Is this the way how modern medicine has to work???

Dr Dale Bredesen, a scientist who developed a program to reverse all symptoms of Alzeheimer and cures 9 out of 10 patients with early Alzheimer knows exactly what causes Alzheimer. He knows so much about Alzheimer that he identified 3 subtypes. His treatment focuses on 36 points since there are many factors that contribute to Alzheimer. He refers to Alzheimer as a roof with 36 holes and the necessity to plug all holes to stop having rain inside the house.

mhkool··on Ask HN: Resources on vitamin D supplements and studies
Dr David Perlmutter is a neurologist who pratices "functional medicine" and makes a lot of articles and videos. The articles on his website often refer to scientific literature and you get get a list of articles by doing a search on his site: https://www.drperlmutter.com/?s=vitamin+d

You will see a list of articles what Vitamin D does to prevent and heal diseases.

I am taking 15.000 IU/day and have regular blood tests to make sure it stays below 150. I take a lot of other vitamins and minerals and the nodules in my thyroid went from stage 4 to stage 3.

I went to see 2 doctors and they had different opinions: one said it is better to take 30.000 IU every 2 days for better absorption and the other one said it is better to have a stable level. I prefer a stable level.

mhkool··on Pfizer Halts Research for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Because It's Too Expensive
It is too expensive since there is already a working method developed by Dr Dale Bredesen. In a first trial with 10 patients he cured 9. His method is not a magic pill but is based on doing everything possible to reduce inflammation and optimises 36 parameters.
mhkool··on AMD ships microcode update to disable some branch prediction
The Mill CPU which is currently being developed is in-order and its performance target is higher that current Intel CPUs while using 1/10th of the power.

out-of-order is just one way that a hardware vendor choose to increase performance. Mill choose an other way.

mhkool··on Ask HN: Delay buying new devices due to Meltdown/Spectre CPU bug?
I would wait a month or so to get all information about this topic and evaluate it. As of now, it seems that AMD has an immediate fix that does not impact performance while Intel's immediate fix has a large performance impact. I do not understand why most people want to stick with Intel...
mhkool··on Brain inflammation sows the seeds of Alzheimer’s
Bredesen has published about the reversal and with the small sample of 10 patients showed full reversal in 9 patients. There is no doubt at all when you read that patients were extremely forgetful, unable to do their job and unable to learn a new language were completely opposite after the short treatment: good memory, able to do the old job, and having pleasure learning a new language. Bredesen followed the 9 patients for 4 years after the treatment and there is no new decline. The treatment is a true cure.

There is nothing magical. Inflammation makes a mess of a brain and a healthy body is able to recuperate from almost any disease.

mhkool··on Unhackable computer under development with $3.6M Darpa grant
a hacker only gets one extra challenge: forecast the address of the object that it wants to read. This approach seems hackable to me.

I like very much the safe stack that the Mill CPU uses: program data stack and the (safe) function return address stack are separated where the safe stack is controlled by hardware (and the OS allocates memory for stack segments that the hardware uses). The Mill CPU also has other hardware features to greatly enhance security. For example, parameter passing between threads is range-checked by hardware: a callee sees only passed parameters and a caller sees only the return values.

mhkool··on Simple blood tests may soon be able to deliver news about your cognitive health
I am getting a bit irritated when I read the news about Alzheimers since for a couple of years there is a treatment which was developed by Dr Dale Bredesen. Dr Bredesen looked at all factors which were linked with Alzheimers and combined many together into a treatment strategy. He also defined 3 subtypes of Alzheimers. The result is that his treatment cures 9 out 10 patients with mild Alzheimers. The fact that Bill Gates invests in new drug treatments is insane.
mhkool··on Why I’m Digging Deep Into Alzheimer’s
sorry, no link. It was said in a video and I am not 100% sure but I believe that part of the study is done at the Cleveland Clinic.
mhkool··on Why I’m Digging Deep Into Alzheimer’s
Dear Bill, to spend money wise and efficiently I suggest that you look at the work of Dr Dale Bredesen. Dr Bredesen has fantastic results with his Alzheimer treatment and has published about it. In short, his treatment cures 9 out of 10 patients with mild Alzheimer. His scientific work is solid and a larger study is currently done. Check it out!
mhkool··on Russian Hackers Stole NSA Data on U.S. Cyber Defense
Remember the Chinese network equipment allegations? The agencies said hey had backdoors. That was never proven but what we know is that the agencies had access over nearly all Cisco equipment.

Now Kaspersky is the next 'unsafe' non-American company... There are only allegations from an unreliable source: the agencies have lied regularly.

I am convinced that there is an anti-Kaspersky campaign since the agencies 'like' the American antivirus vendors a lot more. I bet the agencies have ways to spy on users of American antivirus vendors.

mhkool··on Ask HN: What was your first computer?
Mine was a Sinclar QL with a Motorola 68008 and standard 128 MB (extended to 640 MB) and two of those tape drives that support tape cartridges with an endless tape.
mhkool··on A Dam-Building Boom Is Transforming the Brazilian Amazon
The silt is the key to fertile soil. Can you image what happens when soil becomes infertile?
mhkool··on A Dam-Building Boom Is Transforming the Brazilian Amazon
With the huge deforestation of the past years and now the further destruction of the forest around the river, the future of the Amazon forest is black: it will be destroyed and after that there is no more rainfall and the dams will not generate energy.
mhkool··on An open letter to Jeff Bezos: You are needed to disrupt health care
The health system is not working: diabetes has officially no cure but hundreds of doctors cure it. A senator has brain cancer but nobody points him to an expert who cures brain cancer for 20+ years (see the clinic of Dr Burzynsky), low energy, headaches, ADD, ADHD, arthritis and many more diseases are being cured for many years. Alzheimers can now be cured (See Dr dale Bredesen's work) and I can go on.

The health system continues to be in a bad state if Bezos will try to do the same thing cheaper. If Bezos is smart he will have a chat with Dr Mark Hyman on how to introduce functional medicine to the whole country. It is cheaper and ... it works!

mhkool··on Gut Germs Appear to Play Role in Multiple Sclerosis
juicing makes nutrients in vegetables more bio-available. Cooking destroys vitamins.
mhkool··on Gut Germs Appear to Play Role in Multiple Sclerosis
I suggest to research the Wahls protocol. Prof Terry Wahls was in a wheelchair with MS and cured herself. Now she is heading a department at a hospital where patients are cured of MS.
mhkool··on US bans Kaspersky software in federal agencies amid concerns of Russian spying
The agencies want to increase their own spying and started an anti-Kaspersky campaign (remember the anti-chinese network equipment campaign and the Cisco backdoor?). Since they have access to US antivirus vendors, they want everybody to use those tools so that they can spy on everybody. The agencies have less ways to spy on you if you use Kaspersky.
mhkool··on FBI pushes private sector to cut ties with Kaspersky
The true reason why the FBI wants to get rid of Kaspersky: since American agencies do not have access to data of Kaspersky but do have access to all data of American antivirus vendors, they want everybody to switch to American vendors.
mhkool··on Real people don't need end-to-end encryption says UK Home Secretary
What politicians do not understand: - if we are forced to chat unencrypted, terrorists will communicate in "code": "the eagle will fly today" means "attack now!" - terrorists did successful attacks before the internet and before smartphones and do not need encryption - terrorists do harm because they are harmed. Stop harming them and they will leave you alone.
mhkool··on Why is the Internet so Slow?
I work for a company that produces a URL filter and in our experience ads and all tracking javascript is 30+% of all URLs.

The code in tracking scripts varies between "short and elegant" to "massive and slow code". There is also a piece of json where the tracker thinks it is necessary to call 10 other trackers: See for example http://ib.adnxs.com/async_usersync?cbfn=AN_async_load : AN_async_load([ {"url":"http://cm.g.doubleclick.net/pixel?google_nid=appnexus&google..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"https://ib.adnxs.com/getuid?https%3A%2F%2Fcm.g.doubleclick.n..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://c.bing.com/c.gif?anx_uid=xxxx&Red3=MSAN_pd", "tagtype":"iframe"}, {"url":"http://odr.mookie1.com/t/v2/sync?tagid=V2_4265&src.visitorId..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://match.adsrvr.org/track/cmf/generic?ttd_pid=appnexus&t..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://pixel.rubiconproject.com/tap.php?v=4894&nid=1986&put=..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://sync.mathtag.com/sync/img?mt_exid=13&mt_exuid=xxxx&re..., "tagtype":"img"} , {"url":"http://p.rfihub.com/cm?in=1&pub=345&userid=xxxx", "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://t.mookie1.com/rsp?dnv=[TIMESTAMP]&rurl=//ib.adnxs.com..., "tagtype":"img"}, {"url":"http://t.wayfair.com/a/vendor_sync/user?vendor_id=1&uid=xxxx..., "tagtype":"img"} ]);

The slowness that we experience is from delays caused by calling scripts that call scripts that call scripts, processing large pieces of javascript and network latencies. edit: and server latencies.
