As I understand it Pfizer announced future booster business as COVID becomes endemic in their call with Barkley’s last spring.

“ what we believe, what I believe is as we move from a pandemic state, from a pandemic situation to an endemic situation, normal market forces, normal market conditions will start to kick in. And factors like efficacy, booster ability, clinical utility will basically become very important, and we view that as, quite frankly, a significant opportunity for our vaccine from a demand perspective, from a pricing perspective, given the clinical profile of our vaccine. So clearly, more to come here. But we think as this shifts from pandemic to endemic, we think there's an opportunity here for us.”

Migraine. You needn’t have a headache either.

“But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself.”

“ When we started building Stack Overflow in 2008, we didn’t have that choice. There was no Docker (2013), no Kubernetes (2014). Cloud computing was in its infancy: Azure had just launched (2008), and Amazon Web Services was about two years old. What we built was designed for specific hardware and made a lot of assumptions about it.”

Frankly, I miss those days.

Problem with this: keep your phone with you always conflicts with don’t have secure conversations within mic range of your phone. You can’t do both of these.

But otherwise this is great and I would probably add “reset and replace devices often.”

I would add YouTube to the list.

“ vCJD or “classic” CJD, which is not known to be caused by prions from animals. Classic CJD strikes an estimated one person per million. Some 80% of cases are sporadic, meaning they have no known cause, ”

Who knows really. 10 years is a long time to wait and worry, but it can take up to 50 years to express itself. Just imagine spending your whole life worrying about this.

Sometimes when I’m dumber than usual I try to make up for it with more coffee. Wonder if something like that could be driving this. People with dementia try to compensate with more coffee.

Way too lenient.

This is a great answer. I think my problem is explaining it to poor people, who see Elon musk and jack dorsey, pushing Bitcoin as “for the people” and they just think, oh it’s for those rich guys to hype their startup options into the stratosphere, not for us folks living in debt on the verge of homelessness. I want to help those people get in on it, so they aren’t left even further behind if that makes sense.

JPM? If Jamie getting into it it can’t be too bad, but I looked just now and find this,

“I'm not a bitcoin supporter,” Dimon said during The Wall Street Journal CEO Council summit on Tuesday. “I don't care about bitcoin. I have no interest in it.”

Edit: sorry, I got the wrong bank (jpm vs jmp). Thanks for clarifying below.

It would be more persuasive if you could point to something that has utility and viability in the here and now. A killer app or something that benefits society and offsets the much talked about negative externalities. From the outside it’s hard to see the good and so the crypto community would benefit greatly by focusing on pr at least as much as the technology itself. When I talk to working class people, the view of Bitcoin is as a tool for the wealthy young tech overlords to make even more outrageous fortunes. Punctuate that with news about ransomware and child trafficking and you can imagine. They hate it a lot. Crypto shouldn’t be an enemy of the poor, but it is according to every poor and working class person I ask. That’s a problem worth solving IMO.
