You people like to lie, don't you? All covid vaccines underwent trials before given to the public. Those trials are how we know of any potential side effects. The ones you people keep claiming were never known.

You must be one of those who claims there's never been a double-blind study for vaccines even though they've been done. This article, published before covid hit, lays out the lies people like you put out and why they're lies.

And here's the results of a double-blind study on the effectiveness of the MMRV vaccine from 2016. How timely considering Kennedy lies about the measles vaccine.

That is a little bit misleading.
Plenty of those "conglomerates" are in fact a bunch of separated companies, that share only a name part, like Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi does not even have a holding / mother company.

Mitsubishi is split into 3 "Great Houses" and 7 smaller companies, wearing the name Mitsubishi, and another bunch not having Mitsubishi as part of their name.

The other 5 Keiretsu have similar structures.

However, your point is that different cultures see a solid base in commerce very different than Americans.

BYD is building everything, except the glass for the windows and the tires, themselves. From the smallest screw to the car seats. I assume that statement is a bit cheating, as they most likely have their electronics inside with off the shelf Android displays/tablets, and I guess, everything containing microcomputers is most likely not self made.

Comment Finally, we can afford ad-blocking classes (Score 2) 29

I love the idea of Facebook money being used to teach kids how to block advertisements. $25B should be enough to teach every single kid in New Mexico how to do it, going forward forever, as a permanent addition to public school curriculum.

I was going to suggest that maybe we could even use a tiny portion of the money to establish a state DNS server that blackholes the adservers the way pi-hole does. Then kids stuck running proprietary "apps," instead of accessing things through their Manifest-V2-compatible web browser, wouldn't have to install their own DNS server.

But then I realized the aforementioned ad-blocking curriculum ought to have resulted in every kid building their own pi-hole at school anyway, so a state pi-hole is unnecessary.

Meanwhile in America the bleeding hearts want âoejusticeâ for a botched lethal injection death, and guilt-trip society when our Military wants to put a mass murderer in front of a firing squad. Pathetic.

And give pardons to the terrorists who attacked the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the election, attacked police and put one in the hospital after he was repeatedly beaten and tasered, and destroyed and stole government property.

Submission + - Government web sites go dark after severe PHP vulnerabilities disclosed (reuters.com)

smooth wombat writes: PHP disclosed two critical vulnerabilities in their programming language and urged web site operators to immediately apply the fix. As a result, government web sites in Europe and elsewhere temporarily went dark on Wednesday as operators worked to protect their systems.

Dane Knecht, the chief technology officer of Web and cloud security firm Cloudflare (NET.N), opens new tab, said that attacks were emerging and Cloudflare was updating its firewall rules as a stopgap measure.

"We are seeing early attacks emerging and are updating mitigations as new vectors show up. This is a STOPGAP only. Patch as soon as PHP releases the update," he said on X.

Officials have said that all PHP versions from PHP 5 onward could be affected, although PHP has not yet disclosed which versions are vulnerable.

I don't understand that instead of spending a few million on improving the code and the algorithmd they are instead spending billions on infrastructure?

The same could be said for computers. Why spend all the money on increasing processor or RAM speed or new video cards when you could just update the code behind the OS and software? We'd still be using 486 machines!
