Comment No vaccine yet (Score 1) 81

There is vaccine for Hepatitis C yet... So broad state level intervention is required to get a handle on its spread.

This is one of the things the NHS excels at due to how it's organized. It has its issues, sure, but it also makes great progress in areas that are simply unattainable in most types of healthcare systems.

All that is true... But maybe it's time people started exploring the 2nd hand market.

Buying a new computer isn't always necessary. A computer from 2020 will do just fine for most people. And DDR4 ram is considerably cheaper than DDR5.

Maybe this IS the year of the Linux desktop, cause people can't afford to use anything else (given Windows 10 is EOL, and everyone and their aunt is finding bugs everywhere, and Windows 11 needs TPM == new hardware). Or you could also just buy an Apple Neo, good value these days.

Yeah.

They completely ignore panserpmia.

They just quote Isaac Asimov's writing from almost half a century ago (Europa). Ignores Enceladus, Titan, Venus, Mars; all of which have *BIOSIGNATURES* of a probability curve not too dissimilar to Europa.

They are likely a dilettante. Those folks do not do "prior art" research because they believe in the Auteur Myth.

  "An auteur is a filmmaker whose personal style and thematic focus are so distinctive that they are considered the 'author' of their films, a concept known as the auteur myth."

Real science isn't that. Real science is a rational discipline. The null hypothesis -- know what that means. Prior art -- know what that means. Mental biases -- know those, too; you'll see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear. Science is the discipline of mind that ensures you're not just spewing random nonsense. You verify what you think; that's the discipline.

As Isaac Newton said ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), "nani gigantum humeris insidentes."

Ignore them.

I want this feature like now. But to be really effective you need to be able to migrate between hosts as well. So the host needs to be able to set the device IDs, not the NVMe device.

I'm assuming that they've thought of that, though. Seems like they also introduced QoS. And what about using this for RAID? NVMe over TCP seems to be in there as well.

Comment Sanctions working as expected (Score 1) 28

You can't help it that your country is sanctioned, but this is what sanctions mean... It's a very broad weapon and hits indiscriminately.

You can hardly blame Google for that. What you can blame them for is being a monopoly which, if remedied, would also possibly make the sanctions less useful.

That is rather an American point of view.

The US constitution only protects citizen's rights in dealings the government. In most other countries, human rights are also protected when dealing with businesses and citizens.

If children are barred from speaking, how is this not a freedom of speech matter? You have to be able to speak first before government can punish you for it!
