I analysed what they propose - hope is important in this time - but this practice is questionable. It will not do any harm to spray peptides in your nose, but it will not provide any benefit either.
If it was that simple, all vaccines would be administered in this way. But even injecting these peptides without provoking an immune response wouldn't provide a significant level of protection.
Sadly there are no shortcuts.
It's easy to protect yourself the old fashion way though; just #stayathome to #crushthecurve and mask up!

To preserve virusses, they are put in a freezer. That's the way researchers store it. And China clearly indicated this as the path of a major reinfection. New Zealand might come to the same conclusion, it might not be, we will probably know soon. Most people wash their hands prior to preparing their food, not after handling frozen food. With proper precautions the chance to contaminate that side salad might reduce significantly. And the packaging of frozen food can be decontaminated too. Ignoring the problem or minimising it will not make this go away. Better safe than sorry!

The Intel compatible world cannot scale down enough. ARM has beaten x64. Apple realises this and goes 'all out' in this new world in a game of physical limitations where Intel just cannot catch up. More power efficient, fastest supercomputer... It is 'game over' for the entire x64 architecture. One day Linus will realise this. I guess that day is not today, yet? But I'm sure that as Apple leads the way in consumer-available high performance ARM chips, the rest of the industry will follow. Intel seems out of options.

Try to post anything critical of Israel policy with respect to their policy towards Palestinian. And watch how the censorship police of Facebook picks it up...

One would think this idiot would be fast to implement travel bans. Thats why he was elected (by other idiots). So, get on with it, China proves containment and quarantine works! But obviously, you need test capacity for that, being the 'number one prepared country' and all that...

As a GILD investor, I think it's great my money helps to create a treatment for this very dangerous world-changing airborne killer virus. I really don't care if China will contribute to GILDs bottom line or not as long as any evolution contributes to the massive increase in production of the cure. The entire world suffers more each day as Chinese official numbers are considered less reliable every day and as the scary images of Wuhan and of the other hundreds of millions of confined people reach the Internet. This is an emergency. Please invest in GILD too as this seems to be the only thing we can practically do. And let's hope no side effects are found and more tests turn out good while production is increased to a global level without any delay!

... end this streaming bullshit. It meanse people are downloading the stuff over and over again, and as soon as they have it, they throw it away.

One DRM protected movie download is probably as much as the emails of an entire city...

Care about that waste of energy? Protest DRM!

Absolutely, travel the world, open your horizons, and use technology to keep in touch and help those less fortunate than us!

Right ;-)

For scientific applications where speed matters, python libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, petsc4py, dolfin from FEniCS and PyClaw are typically being used, with a self implemented FORTRAN application, it would be remarkable to come close performance wise to these heavily performance optimised libraries.

What an idiotic remark from this Anonymous Coward. Can't you read? Containerisation is not virtualisation. When running a JVM, instructions are translated from bytecode into native code; so yes that counts. But Docker, nah. AWS sure, VMWare counts too. So yeah 2 levels are often applicable. 3 levels? Nah, that's just marketing, misrepresentation and stupidity. Java remains important, obviously, but it isn't a large "growth language", applicable to the last 5 years evolution.

As I pointed out before; this post reads like it's from 2015, ignoring the fact that its 2020. Obviously we still see a lot of Macs, but the developer tendency is to move away from those as the value proposition declines: higher prices, not enough performance for the buck and since Catalina, MacOS has become much more frustrating. Many startups and new purchases are looking elsewhere. Welcome to 2020!

I'm 43 years old, the CEO of Linux Belgium and developing and troubleshooting every day. I love my work and while I might get better, I'm certainly not young nor dumb.

What a bunch of bullcrap. Just go on a pension if you're too tired and old to keep up. Not everybody from that era is that idiotic!
Python is really not slower on modern computers than fortran on old ones - what an idea. And if Fortran would be better, people would not have switched to Python because of all its enormous development speed benefits.
There's nothing wrong with a productive scrum meeting in the morning - unless you're the guy standing next to it thinking you prefer card games all day
Obviously virtualisation is important - in the non-embedded market - but nobody runs 3 levels; and no - containerisation is not virtualisation, idiot!
Not a lot of people develop on macs - and as Apple fumbles to get things right and their margins reach astronomical heights and MacOS becomes less appealing, their value proposition becomes less and less interesting.
Nah, this isn't a 2020 list. Maybe a 2015 list by a dinosaur who can't appreciate progres...

... but in the real world it takes a lot of energy to go to orbit. And that problem will not be solved quickly. It's just physics. Sure you could theorise about a space elevator - which would lower energy (an thus heat generated ) and cost to orbit; but obstacles like bad weather and lightnings are probably very hard to overcome. And if you want to move your heavy industry anywhere, it would rather be underground than on the surface, let alone in orbit. 'heavy' means it takes heavy materials in and out, it's just absurd to do that in orbit without any real benefit. Underground - and fully self-contained and automated - would be a lot cheaper if you want to turn the surface into a beautiful park for everybody to enjoy!

... he is very eager to learn, so I work less and spend time with him. It is a bit confusing that the letters have a name and a different sound. So yeah, phonetics seems more appropriate. It's also sad there isn't more high quality stuff on YouTube yet. Even more so in our 'niche language' Dutch. But surprisingly, even in English... Beyond the very basics, there is not a lot.

You could say the same of Lamborghini...

Reads like a commercial? Isn't this just pushing gambling-like behaviour on the stock market?

I was also raised under the impression that the purpose of an Operating System was to run applications. The fact that this one is able to run about 15-20% LESS applications is certainly not MORE...
uTorrent, Steam, many steam games, my version of SketchUP, Google Talk Plugin, Android File Transfer, Remote Desktop Connection, Google Earth, UnRarX. If only one of those was not working anymore I'd probably wait. So yeah, new Macs tend to be no longer downgradable; so this might also be my last Macbook Pro or for that matter MacOS based computer. Sad.
