> Take, for example, the story of a 9-month old baby girl whose choice to avoid preventable childhood illnesses was taken away from her by someone who made the choice to skip out on a routine vaccine.

The "choice" was not taken away from her, because at that age she is unable to make choices on her own, whether for better or for worse.

> Until this point in her life, the infant had not had so much as a cough or sniffly nose.

Someone would argue that this point was proof that your choice not to vaccinate her was the right one.

Can IronRDP work with HTML5? I find myself using Guacamole because a lot of firewalls block WebSockets or the admins block WebSockets in their browsers.

Ending anonymous voting is the key to sanity on social media. Comments explaining the vote would make it even better.

It is then easier to see what is going on. You follow or ignore a thread whether the upvotes and downvotes are from "your kind of people"

The article is basically making excuses for private equity investors who prefer to constantly cream off the profits without making the necessary investments to ensure reliability.

The story of contemporary Britain where the political parties aka the Government are now ruled and controlled by private commercial interests.

First world wages go to cover higher rents.

Which is why China is beating America because too much expenditure goes on rents and by rents I don't mean building rents, but the whole chain of bodies that take the cream of the top of everything that is produced, even before the production starts.

That shouldn't be too difficult should it?

Romania and a few other "2nd world" countries can hack it, so why can't the US?

Oh I just remembered. It is the country where people in dire need worry about a $3000 dollar charge for taking them to a hospital. We are not even going get started on the hospital charges.

> What we do know is the original paper by Wakefield that purported the vaccine/autism relationship was fraudulent- contained false information - and more importantly, similar studies that were not fraudulent (to the best of our knowledge) did not replicate the results. And all of that led to a number of trials where a great deal of evidence of Wakefield's actions (which include close to half a million pounds in payments from a vaccine manufacturer) was presented and Wakefield was found guilty.

The Wakefield red herring as usual.

Did anyone mention that the MMR was derived from a vaccine that was banned by the Japanese Govt, and that it was one of the reasons that prompted Wakefield to research it?

There are more than enough papers showing a correlation between vaccines and autism, even a case where the CDC prompted its researchers to distort and remove evidence which indicated a correlation between a vaccine and autism in black boys.

The Wakefield paper was written with with 12 other co-authors. 3 of the authors Wakefield included were struck off by Britain's GMC. They all fought their case in court and 2 of them were reinstated except Wakefield which is why it is called the Wakefield case.

The primary case of the GMC concerned the ethics of the research not its findings but the papers don't focus on that. The authors of the paper still stand by the clinical conclusions no matter what. The Lancet withdrew the paper not because of its clinical conclusions but because of the ethics. Go figure.

Whether there is a connection between vaccines and autism depends on whose research you believe.

Did the Guardian present any research showing there is no evidence showing a connection between vaccines and autism, or are they insisting that it is so because they say so?

It is now listed as a Lisp at r/lisp, courtesy of your truly ;)

Use Zoneminder et al instead?

There is too much deflection from the true purpose for these regulations.

The main thing here is that if a Govt approaches a party to gain access to their encrypted data the party can stall them, destroy the data, claim amnesia or point the Govt in the direction of their lawyers. If the Govt approaches Apple or some other company, the companies don't have to inform the targets and can probably compel the companies not to inform the targets.

With encryption there is even no hard evidence that the data sought exists.

This is the main reason for the laws. Their purpose is to gain access to encrypted information without their target's knowledge.

I guess they've not included those working for the agencies responsible for certifying nuclear power stations.

That would be rich in irony.

But who knows?

Well there is a distinction between "Gulf of the United States of America" and "Gulf of America".

Calling it "Gulf of America" does not equate it to "Gulf of the United States of America" which is what Trump probably wants, but he is too stupid to realize the difference. He just deprived the Gulf of its association with Mexico without truly associating with the US.

Why doesn't he go all the way and call for New Mexico to be renamed to New America though? I wouldn't put it past him.

Do some white people think these petty attitudes will restore the former industrial glory of the US?

Is he miffed at the Gulf referring to a country of mostly Latinos/Hispanics rather than White people?

Is this guy just racist or petty/both? The citizens of the US should be ashamed of themselves for voting him in as President, though truth be said their political system doesn't give them much of choice.

In any case what choice is there between an GOP apple and Democrat pear if they are both rotten?

I don't think DeepSeek ever said it cost them $6m to create their product.

They said the cost of the additional training/refinements/enhancements it took to devastate the share prices of the US AI companies and Nvidia cost them $6m.

References?

I thought so too, but the Chinese are much bigger in this space.

Ain't gonna happen.

US businesses are incapable of thinking long term.

If the US wants to build a ship industry they must invite Chinese shipbuilders to kickstart it just as they invited TSMC to build a factory here.

But that doesn't seem likely does it?

How about sending them to Rwanda?

Just convert the accommodation created for refugees to prisons?

> "The main challenge was the significant operational difficulties" because the plane required specially trained teams and loading equipment, she said.

Does it mean they don't want to invest in training and equipment, or it just isn't worth it?

The indentation of the lines is what matters not the number of parentheses on the last lines.

If you want to have closing parentheses on separate lines the code simply becomes to long.

I didn't understand this when I started writing Lisp, but that style has its advantages and is supported by the editors.

Fun fact - heavy industry cannot run on renewable energy nor is it reliable in the winter months when more energy is needed.

Ever heard of Dunkelflaute?

Russia did not opt to stop supplying them with gas. They cut themselves off at America's prompting.

The Germans couldn't be bothered to find out what parties were truly responsible for the blowing up of the NordStream pipelines, pipelines that the companies involved in were sanctioned by the US.

Should it require that much numeracy and time researching price options to benefit from a heat pump?

Can't it be much simpler?

Not all people have the brains AND assuming that they do, the time to go through these hoops to make their heat pump investment pay off.

Matrix have always been suspect.

Disappointed but not surprised.

In short they are saying that if the nation states hadn't opted to use Matrix they would never have bothered developing this Rust version, which only shows that they were never sincere about developing a performant open source version, not to mention their involvement with some suspect Israeli comms companies and the phone home agendas.

Interesting question - will their "nation state" level customers have the right to inspect the source and make changes to it?

Just waiting to have this post flagged.

Is it smart enough to avoid jumping when going round a bend?

A car can't be steered when it is airborne.
