They can't quote any, they never do. As far as I know, there are no peer reviewed, published studies showing that masks are useless in preventing the spread. The problem I think I see is that no-one seems to make the distinction between:

• * N95 and better masks used to filter incoming droplets/particulates
• * Simple fabric/paper masks used to catch outgoing droplets

Healthy people treating sick people need N95 masks to prevent them inhaling the virus. The truly sick are in hospital and are likely too sick to use a mask effectively (given the symptoms appear to include . The rest of us need basic fabric or paper filter masks to prevent us exhaling it while we speak, and leaving it on surfaces or in the air for others to catch. You can use the better masks for all, but in times of limited supply, they need to be reserved for those who need them.

It appears the media is incapable of delivering the message as much as the people are incapable of comprehending and complying, though.

Colloquially, the term "Fuck all" as a count or enumeration isn't specifically zero, it's more akin to "a vanishingly small number". If I were to say there's "fuck all fish today" while fishing, it doesn't mean there are no fish in the area; it means maybe I've caught a couple of tiny fish in the course of three hours. Possibly even one keeper (when you might expect half a dozen).

Because the system doesn't own the container, the user does. So only the user can do an incremental or differential backup, and unless you're really new to this, you should know that no user (to within a margin of error) does backups, they expect the company/admin to do it for them. Hell, lots of users expect "the system" to somehow backup all their data from their powered off notebook in the cabin of an aircraft.

Did you conveniently forget about attempts to require schools to teach Creationism, blocking discussion on fairly standard scientific theories like evolution, and trying to claim it's "only a theory not a fact"? Because sure, that's somehow private and non-intrusive, right? Starting source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (yes do your own research, this is a starting point ONLY). It's been going on for more than 2 decades.

So if I may summarise, then, you contend that:

* Wuhan in Eastern China is too far from the bat native habitat in Eastern China and that the bats couldn't or wouldn't ever fly close enough even with climate changes, and while they're a natural reservoir of similar viruses, that couldn't be relevant.

* You've ignored the (at least theorised, but I don't have references) hops via the Pangolin or other animals that are sold in the wet markets

* You've seemingly ignored any evidence that it did, in fact, originate in the bat, without even discussing. Here's an article that discusses the opposing view. It seems to have some reasonable references - published papers, not twitter comments or press conferences. Here's another news piece, this time from the BBC, just in case you'd like to claim Forbes is biased.

Yes, but what happens is that people take laptops home, and being ignorant of the way things work, attempt to connect to corp.com resources without VPNs.

So you have a stack of barely qualified button mashers configuring systems exactly as the training materials said 20 years ago, or ignoring the banners that say "DON'T USE THIS USE SOMETHING YOU OWN" and combine that with a stack of non-IT people who expect it "just works", and you get people attempting to connect to something.corp.com and sending an NTLM hash.

Fixing it isn't MS fault, it's all the admins who have screwed up _and_ haven't fixed it if they found the screwup. I got burned by the auction of all the TLDs - the "completely non-resolvable" internal domain for home (middle.earth) suddenly became valid - or at least potentially so. Instead of sticking fingers in my ears though, I built a new forest and moved everything. And now it's no longer an issue and I got practice at something I hadn't done in a decade.

If this is the same drug, AUD41 per dose (so that's about USD30). Reference.

While that seems true on the evidence I've seen, the end purchaser must have the dealer correct it and the dealer must be the one to have Tesla enforce it (however those two events happen in practice - they're not dependent). The contracts are between the buyer and dealer (1) and between the dealer and Tesla (2). Not a lawyer at all, and Tesla did take the action - but it seems this would be covered first under contract law.

Because in comparison to Spain, Australia is almost mind-bogglingly big and remote. For a scale that may make sense - the largest individual farms in Australia are more than twice the area of Barcelona. http://bit.ly/QVApHC doesn't seem to work fantastically for me, but it's a good enough indication.

The "Gospers Mountain" fire (the large one relatively close to me) has burned about 500,000 ha - and the adjacent fires which merged with it raise the total for that "group" to 800,000 ha.

There's a group about 250km further north that's another 800,000 ha. There's another group 250km north of THAT group that's burned 400,000 ha. I've left off discussing all the little ones, and the ones south of Sydney, and all the fires in other states. But with those groups of fires burning 2 million hectares, there's a total of under 1000 properties lost. The ignition point for Gospers Mountain is hundreds of km from almost anything. There's nothing out there apart from National Park - certainly nothing to support the installation and support of sensors, APs and the like. The paper you referenced isn't clear to me upon skimming it, but it looks like there's 600-800 access points every 100 square km or so - to cover just the area burned in that one fire would require more than 50,000 APs and 500,000 cameras.

To add more fuel to the fire (sorry, but I had to do it) the ignition point for Gospers Mountain is located so remotely that tens of thousands of hectares were burned before it could even be fought. And that's why we don't have remote fire sensing in place.

Apart from the phrase being "malice aforethought" (meaning premeditated) - why are you blaming the state government for you not concluding your affairs in the state before, or as you moved? Why would you "throw out" your old plates instead of returning them and (perhaps only in sane states) getting the registration refund? Take responsibility for your own actions here.

Ignore for a moment that the push for MFA for the past three years or more has focused on "Enforce MFA", and "MFA is the only way to be secure". Ignore that best practice is to enforce MFA. Ignore that the statement about "never needing to use a second factor code" is just blatantly untrue (we enforce MFA because we have customer data in the cloud, and every new session to Office 365, the Office portal, Azure portals, PowerShell, Exchange Admin Center, etc requires MFA at that point or "recently"). Ignore the push to stop using passwords. Ignore people who need Office apps on non-primary PCs. Ignore sectors of the economy whose hands are tied by auditors, policy, legislation etc.

Stick your head in the sand and yes, the world is perfect, MFA failures can't affect anyone and everyone has always made perfect decisions about data storage and security? Then yep, you're right. No problem. But here in the real world, USB devices fail ("I have a backup on USB even if the cloud isn't available, oops the USB is dead because the port on this PC is broken and sent 20V through it"). MFA failures do affect people, the cloud isn't perfect and there are a whole lot of people who don't want to accept it.

Seems you're one of them.

Because the "you must have version X released this year" line is a scam. If the information changes that quickly, the book is already out of date despite being current, and if it doesn't change that quickly there's no need to require the new version. Hence, the publishers enforce DRM so you can't resell the perfectly good book to the next round of students.

It means you can't redirect all their advertising and tracking domains to a pi-hole, alternative DNS filtering service etc. If you don't block the DNS, there's a much better chance the ads and tracking will continue to work.

A little from column A, and a little from column B.
