Ironically, the OMI 'open source' package is Microsoft's.

The only recent commit was for "Enhanced security" a month ago:

> because it's easier to lie and say you already had COVID, and there's a bunch of people who'd probably do so.

It's not actually. They're equivalent. The vaccine proof is PAPER which can be forged. And while evidence of a COVID19 test can be paper too, mine was digital.

We are well past that. It's not that hard to say:

1) If you have natural immunity already, great! Provide evidence of your positive test

2) If you don't have evidence that you've been SARS-COV-19 positive, go get a shot so you don't have a severe hospitalization.

3) No, we don't suggest getting infected on purpose over the shot. Go read #2

Instead, the US federal government is being purposefully ignorant of how effective natural immunity is.

That's fair. I am appreciative. I was just shocked by the timeline but glad this was resolved

This report says they discovered this in March.

The NY Times [1] just reported that "Apple’s security team has been working around the clock to develop a fix since Tuesday, after researchers at Citizen Lab, a cybersecurity watchdog organization at the University of Toronto, discovered that a Saudi activist’s iPhone had been infected with spyware from NSO Group."

What took so long? Did Apple not know about this in March or was someone sitting on it for 6 months?

Why did this take so long? The alternate thread pointing at the citizenlab report [1] says that "In March 2021, we examined... and determined that they had been hacked"

It's September. The NYTimes says: "Apple’s security team has been working around the clock to develop a fix since Tuesday, after researchers at Citizen Lab, a cybersecurity watchdog organization at the University of Toronto, discovered that a Saudi activist’s iPhone had been infected with spyware from NSO Group."

So has Apple been sitting on this since March, or has CitizenLab?

I agree. One workaround though is clicking NYTimes links, then clicking Firefox Reader View, then clicking refresh.

But then you have to actually read NYTimes, which reading the agenda they push can be a different type of infuriating.

The editor is very slick. Where does the 'graph theory' part come into this though? As so far, all I've done is create some vertices and group them by 'bags'. Note that I'm a math theory novice

I have heard this phrase (daily bread) compared to the story of God providing manna (something flaky, often compared to flour & bread) for food in Exodus 16. In that story, the Israelites were instructed to only collect the manna for each day. If they tried to keep some for the second day, it would become rotten. This meant they were reliant on God's provision each day.

In the same way, this prayer may be about provision of bread enough for today, of sufficient/satisfactory quantity, no more than we need (per Exodus), just what we need right now. You'd obviously then want to pray this each day, and rely on God's provision daily. So daily isn't a transliteral interpretation but more a descriptive one

> I don't know a single engineer that has read the report that disagrees with its findings.

Just want to point out that the document that OP linked claims in the conclusion that the NIST report is invalid, but I have no ability to judge that claim. I have no structural engineering knowledge and have never heard of either of these reports until now.

This was published March 2020 though, and I'd be curious if the analysis was cogent enough to warrant NIST's response in a few years

> This has led to a growing colony of Oyster cards that haven't been used for at least a year - about 82m of them - and passengers' cash in the coffers of Transport for London (TfL) totalling more than £550m.

I would assume that TfL is investing that static £550m. Even at a 1% gain annually, that's a nice chunk of profit from sitting on Oyster cash

They could; or they could just generate static pages and serve from a nginx reverse proxy rather than fetching from databases, etc. The price is very different

The NY Times does this for election day results because they fully expect that to get hit hard. They re-publish a static page every few minutes

Sure, but for someone who has already /survived/, it's worth knowing the value of those antibodies. And it's worth knowing that governments should not attack those survivors further for "not getting vaccinated" when they already have antibodies.

Worth noting that I'm not anti-vaccine but there's not enough focus on natural immunity. And I'm not encouraging people to forego vaccines and to go lick doorhandles

Considering Theranos' board (powwerful males) decided to remove her, but she somehow convinced them to NOT remove her, but also to give her more authority, then the defense can argue she was not coerced. Rather she is the coercer
