Comment Re:Vaccine for Positive Cases (Score 1) 193

Not a virologist here, you have been warned.

We don't know, no one has researched that. But most likely no.

On one hand, vaccination results in much stronger antibody production than natural infection, because the vaccine spike is deliberately engineered to do just that. So this may help. On the other hand, it is not known how getting the natural virus and the artificial spike at the same time affects that. On yet another hand, getting the antibodies from the vaccine up to full speed takes 4-6 weeks, which might be too long to successfully fight off the virus.

I tend to believe that the vaccine won't be of much help to most people who are already infected, but perhaps we should try and see what happens. It can't make the situation any worse, right?

Comment Re:Sue Them (Score 1) 236

So in your opinion companies cannot conduct penetration tests by sending phishbaits? Because everything they say to their employees is a commitment? It would be interesting to test your opinion in court. My company is doing it all the time, year after year, for may years, promising everything from Amazon gift cards to tickets to shows to parcels with unspecified content. I wonder why no one has sued them yet. Hmm, perhaps maybe, just maybe, this tactic is somehow legit? Social engineering penetration tests involve lying to the people you are testing, one way or another. That's the nature of the beast.

... for quite some time. URLs are as meaningful or meaningless as content owners want them to. You can reason very well about https://example.com/memes/2020... and all is fine and dandy, but absolutely nothing prevents the same content from being served to you as https://example.com/assets/dcb... â" valid only for the duration of your session. Others will receive the same asset under totally different names. Go reason about that. These web bundles break nothing that is not already broken.

Comment A netter question about keyboards (Score 1) 306

Does your keyboard have an Ã--Ã key? Mine has. Seriously. I programmed it myself.

It also has two (imagine that!) keys with the word "Enter" written on them. They are different keys, however they are both "Enter" keys, because the manufacturer says so. You are welcome look at your own keyboard and draw your own conclusions about it. Just leave mine alone, thank you very much.
