    FDA releases data on Moderna’s COVID vaccine: It looks good

    Well you sliced it a bit out of context, before that said "Apparently not great for late COVID stages but may be effective for early stages as well as prevention. " and then the potential hypothetical situations of taking such a drug. But I see how it reads the way you frame it, fair enough...

    FDA releases data on Moderna’s COVID vaccine: It looks good

    And I didn't claim the data is out yet. I was using an example of a potential solution that has some promise (I used that one because it's in several Phase 3 trials with US results coming Dec 31 in the link's case). And stated for those reluctant to take a rushed vax, there's time before it's...

    FDA releases data on Moderna’s COVID vaccine: It looks good

    ^Yes, you are still referring to the Brazil trial, which was overly hyped for wrong reasons. And I stated it has been found to not work for later stage treatment. There are other studies around the world with various doses and targets, with apparently prevention and potentially early stage...

    FDA releases data on Moderna’s COVID vaccine: It looks good

    Right, I said some results show it doesn't help with later stages, which that particular study shows. There are dozens of NTZ trials going on around the world with different doses. And Rutgers also has one in progress with a cocktail including NTZ. NTZ is apparently showing promise with...

    FDA releases data on Moderna’s COVID vaccine: It looks good

    As has been mentioned by others, vax trials take many years for a reason. One year isn't enough to learn long term side effects for a vax planned for 80% of population. The concerns are valid but agree it's a complicated problem with no clear absolutist answer, which is why requirement in...

    FDA releases data on Moderna’s COVID vaccine: It looks good

    I did not say it should be delayed, said it should not be required. Is great that those who believe the vax's are safe enough to take. By the time enough doses are available to general population, there may be safer options, existing drugs/cocktails with long term known side effects. If not...

    FDA releases data on Moderna’s COVID vaccine: It looks good

    Even though this is true you're not going to convince those who think these COVID vaccines are the only answer. They can be as stubborn as anti-vaxers. There are other safer methods in the works. Existing drugs that have been around for many years that can aid prevention may be close to...

    Linus Torvalds doubts Linux will get ported to Apple M1 hardware

    Is just a matter of time that Linux will become more common on ARM than x86 for laptops. Might take a while but there are so many ARM players now, someone will focus on an ARM design optimized for laptops. And won't be surprising if ARM LInux is more common than Intel for cloud servers in near...

    “We are giddy”—interviewing Apple about its Mac silicon revolution

    Amazon and Google are getting into CPU design as well as the chip fabricators make it easier. They'll tune ARM Linux servers to their own CPU designs for their cloud platforms. And we'll see if Google uses their own designs for Android/ChromeOS as well. The direction CPU world is heading...

    “We are giddy”—interviewing Apple about its Mac silicon revolution

    We'll see what happens with AMD moving to 5nm next year. The CPU game is really about chip makers more than chip designers. That is TSMC vs. Samsung at this point. TSMC is leading but Samsung just announced over $100B investment targeting 3nm fabrication. Apple has fined tuned MacOS to M1...

    Thousands of infected IoT devices used in for-profit anonymity service

    Given that most standalone IoT devices will likely not get system/security updates, is the best defense at the home router? I personally don't want a managed router but does it make sense to have highly managed home routers either managed by ISPs or Norton type companies? I'd want option to...

    This is what “war in space” probably would look like in the near future

    Is hard to imagine diplomacy and agreements will work for divvying up resources/regions on the moon. War on moon inevitable?

    Surface Duo review—Orphaned Windows hardware makes a poor Android device

    This form factor could have a chance if executed properly and with some mods, especially with corporations. Samsung might give this form factor a shot if there's interest. If Microsoft can't pull off the hardware, maybe should team up with Samsung for a Microsoft edition with MS apps...

    Global respect for scientists is high, but many worry about the tech they enable

    A slightly different slant I'd put on modern conservatives (specifically those religious) is that it's OK to cheat/exploit as long as it's to serve their god's purpose. They feel they have the divine right to take whatever measures possible to serve their deity. This is when religion becomes...

    Companies can track your phone’s movements to target ads

    I've seen the TV ad too and generally agree with you but there are a lot of Apple fanbois out there (I use Apple but not into the cult). No matter how reasonably you can explain it they are going to defend Apple at all costs. I didn't know Apple profits from Google on search engine, wow. I...

    New Google Fiber plan: $100 for 2Gbps, plus Wi-Fi 6 router and mesh extender

    ^To malor: 100% BS. On this claim you made... "It'll still be hundreds of megabits, but the results should be quite noticeably slower at that distance."

    5G in rural areas bridges a gap that 4G doesn’t, especially low- and mid-band

    My dad does as well. He is getting by with using phone as hotspot on Visible, which has no caps at 5Mbps. But wants to try Starlink when traveling with RV. Hopefully Starlink will work while mobile some day. Tend to lean a bit anti-sprawl and Starlink might encourage sprawl but in this case...
