orangebeeton EU adopts global minimum 15% tax on big business

You're absolutely right. When we are all fully fledged EU-colonies and the non-democratically elected Urzula has bought out all corrupt politicians to the benefit of Germany, "we" will understand what it means.

orangebeeton Honey consumption improves blood sugar and cholesterol levels, study suggests

So if you speak highly of honey, you get funding from honey.com. If you don't, you get nothing. Now, if you rely on donations to pursue your research, wouldn't that skew the results in favor of honey?

You can read about it on his blood red marxist blog, twitter etc:

orangebeeton GNU Guix System

I was pretty excited about Guix because I find Guile more fun and less academic than Haskell (which Nix uses). Then I stumbled upon some of the extremist propaganda by one of the main Guile developers and promptly decided that it isn't for me.

orangebeeton DaVinci Resolve 18

You switched from Radeon to the hell that is Nvidia to make something easier? This is very interesting to me, since all my experiences have been exactly the opposite (i.e. moving from Nvidia to Radeon solved all my problems).

orangebeeton Global population is crashing, soaring and moving

Because the market is competitive. If you lean back, you don't stay wealthy...

orangebeeton Nvidia R&D chief on how AI is improving chip design

I really hope that they can apply some of these AI approaches on the driver situation on Linux as well. I will never buy an Nvidia product after the nightmares they've put me through.

orangebeeton Nvidia Hopper GPU Architecture and H100 Accelerator

This would be cool if they had decent drivers for Linux.

orangebeeton Myopericarditis rates in young men after Covid-19 vaccine second dose [pdf]

In Denmark you need to have objective evidence of inflammation to register it into the VAERS database.

orangebeeton Myopericarditis rates in young men after Covid-19 vaccine second dose [pdf]

I am absolutely pro vaccine despite my heart problems, but this kind of argumentation basically means that regardless of how bad the vaccine is, it gets away free because "covid would probably be worse".

orangebeeton Myopericarditis rates in young men after Covid-19 vaccine second dose [pdf]

About 7 days after the first mRNA shot, I got really bad chest pain. I went to see my doctor and my EKG was okay. It only got worse from there, and eventually I was sent to the hospital and diagnosed with pericarditis.

The pericarditis wasn't registered as "caused by the vaccine", since it took three weeks before I finally got a hospital appointment, and by then it was too late to prove. I'm 31 years old and relatively fit and I've never had any issues until 7 days after the vaccine. So when this wasn't attributed to the vaccine, here in Denmark, what percentage of issues will be attributed to the vaccine in a country with a greater population density, like India?

As a consequence of this, I find the "~23 in a million" get heart complications highly questionable.
