Here in Norway the vaccinated patients in question (two of whom died) may not be many, but they have very special lab results. They show thrombocyotopenia and central cerebral venous thrombosis (low blood platelets + big cloth in the vessels draining the brain). This is a rare bird. It's one thing to have more birds than usual at your bird feeder one morning, but if you one day have three parrots there, something is going on. This very important detail seems to be list in the media.

It makes perfects sense to pause and review as the blood cloth is question is not typical, and it's also been fatal. There is a individual emotional vs. public health perspective battle coming up over this vaccine for sure.

I've recently been taking time to learn Rust properly (streaming the experience online even), and the more I use it, the more I see the progress it brings. I can see why the learning curve could make it intimidating, but once it start clicking for you.. wow. Cannot recommend it enough tbh.

The biggest challenge has been to slow down. Usually I could pick up a language by porting data structures I've been using for years. Rust calls the bluff - some of these structures are not safe, or need to use Rust's memory security APIs to be built safely. This makes it hard to port existing structures. Taking the time to build simpler structures first has really helped clarify how things work in Rust, and why. It feels good now. Better than most things I've done recent years. And man does that outputed executable run fast.

If the virus initially was less contagious, perhaps a few odd cases did indeed appear in the US and EU (e.g. in France, as is in the news today), but failed to take hold). Then a second strain came and caused (alongside political delay) the current havoc.

Initial intubation, medication while on a ventilator and the procedures related to the patient on the ventilator long term (including cleaning out mucus, preventing infections etc.) requires multiple shifts of highly trained staff. Even if they were to pump out thousands of dodgy and hastily approved ventilators, training staff would be needed. I suspect the case load with grow much faster than our ability to scale up the response. But by all means, try it.

It's not funny, it's a very good point (: Language is a system to share throughs using rapid sequential air compression. We dont experience it like that of course, because our conciseness sits at some point(s) in an enormously complex processing system that masks the underlying machinery.

The brain consists of incredibly sophisticated networks on neurons (and glia), that perform the information processing that probably leads to thoughts. The resolution of transcranial stimulation, and the knowledge of the targeted brain regions, are both too low to call this sharing thoughts. Tell me you can do multi-point m scale read/write transcranially, know the anatomy of the targets brain region in m scale in a non-destructive way, and we can talk about "thought sharing" (or even thought insertion).

This *headline* oversells the results, and underestimates the complexity. It's nothing but bait.

Try browsing for a specific app that is not in tiles or recents. It's a mess, and the list has tiny width and long scroll down, while the menu has huge space it could use for that when it's obvious the user is browsing installed apps.

While I know some people are very suspetible to gettin simsick, I just want to add that some arent. I have used a Rift DK1 to play Half-Life 2, and it is the best FPS experience I have ever had. It adds an unbeliable amount of spacial sense and experience. I would not play it again without the Rift.

That said, I do need to take breaks every 45 minutes or so, and cannot play for more than three hours or so. Still, its absolutely worth it.

I feel people are pretty good at this. In a clinical setting, we ask people to rate their paint between 0 and 10, 10 being the worst pain imaginable. Another way is to use a visual analog scale.

At least, people appear to be aware of degrees of pain, but only relatively. It does differ with personality and previous experience. So, it might be better to use for tracking perception of change in a condition than actual pain measured.

If mice actually feel less pain or not sounds very hard to tell. It might just be that they ignore it more in light of other things, like the hunter who just entered the room (funny that, why would a male human give this effect, when I'm pretty sure most of the mice's natural predators are just as dangerous if they are female..).

Although right now I got a funny feeling the VR indie scene just broke..

Allot of negative comments here. I see how this can go bad too. Oculus seemed hellbent on providing great consumer level VR. That is what they do, and it's the *only* thing they do. That is why they would make a great platform. When large companies come in, they have larger strategies into which to fit everything. They do *many* things, and ends up doing many of them worse for that single reason. Big choices gets affected by strategy for other things, and the quality gets watered down.

Then again, Facebook has not broke Instagram? Perhaps it is just natural that they expand, and I agree with them very much that VR presence goes way beyond gaming. I'm in healthcare, and this is where I see it's potential besides gaming. This is why I got DK1 and have DK2 on the way. As long as Facebook does not destroy the platform, but rather adds to it's expanse, it will all be well.

Oh, and it might help with the fight agains Sony looming on the horizon.

I have dropped someone who has never used that classic shell into it. In fact, he has never really used a computer before. It's unbelieveably confusing for him. His laptop is Windows 8.1. It does not have touch screen. So, I cannot teach him the new Explorer, because he cannot swipe from the sides, and the mouse does different things depending on where he right-clicks. I added explorer to the taskbar in Deskop, and told him to use that. But then, there is no visible way to restart the computer og shut it down. While some of the metro apps (like Mail) would be good for him, they too are hard to use without swipes. Mixing the metro space with the desktop space is also terribly confusing.

The man is somewhat old, and new to computers, but he gets lost so fast on Windows 8 it's scary. I gave him an iPad, and he surfed. I can adapt, most users find that hard. If you are to push someone to adapt thus, it should be for great gain. I think the metro-desktop combination gives no such gain at present, and just serves to pull the otherwise excellent Windows 8 down. If they did not catch this is user testing, that is beyond my comprehention.

As good as metro is on tablets, it serves no real purpose on desktops and laptops other than a way to spread it, IMHO. So MS is sacrificing it's usability to gain a foothold in the tablet space. THAT appears to be working, but it made my friend struggle greatly with his first computer.

Let's not forget this thing either.
