taxes merely services government debt (that never gets paid off)'s interest
Incorrect. Somewhere around 19% of revenue is used to service Government debt. This is certainly an appreciable number, but you said, "taxes merely..." and that is simply wrong.
wrong, the covid vaccines didn't prevent infection or shedding of viruses
This is the root of why you're incorrect here and above.
The vaccine was, in fact, efficacious at stopping infection.
For breakthrough infections, it was not terrible efficacious at lowering viral load enough to tangibly affect transmission.
Current vaccines are far less efficacious than earlier ones against earlier strains, but even today's 30% is enough to materially affect the rate of spread.
Bullshit. My claim was "Cookies are not even mentioned in the GDPR". That claim is accurate. And that is the regulation part.
Incorrect. See linked PDF. See header.
The recitals are part of the regulation.
Oh, and: https://www.europarl.europa.eu... [europa.eu]
Correct. That should have been clear to you in what I said.
They are not binding directives- they are for the courts to determine the spirit of the law- i.e., they are integral to its application.
You literally don't understand your own justice system- that's fucking awesome. I had suspected, but now it's clear as day for everyone to see. I thank you for that.
Apparently it's around $4 per device. The margins are thin on their low end models, and they are greedy, so I guess $4 is too much for a feature that few people care about or will notice not being available. Anyone who wants to do H.265 encoding will probably be looking at the higher end models anyway.
The real blame here is on the patent holders. AV1 is the solution for everyone else.
It's worse, they recommend software for encoding as well.
It's because they have to pay licence fees for HEVC. Most streaming services use AV1 now, which is free and supported.
He clearly wasn't that good, or he wouldn't have been caught. These amateurs don't seem to understand that they way to do this is to make the system so complex and reliant on you doing certain undocumented actions, that if they fire you it will all collapse on its own. Then you can't be accused of causing damage, because you didn't, you just walked away as asked. It's not your fault that they didn't recognize how essential your services were, or pay you to do a proper rebuild and handover.
vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick
What they actually said:
our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick, and that it’s not just in the clinical trials but it’s also in real world data
Now, what do you think the relevant material difference in your misquote is?
I'll give you a hint: At the time the person said it, what they said was true, and the evidence backed it up.
More nuance was required (and provided) later as the picture became clearer, and as dipshits like you tried to play syntax games with the statements.
This is ignoring that you're misconstruing breakthrough infections with the efficacy of the vaccine in stopping infection altogether.
