No, a similarity between SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses was expected but not this. Flu is not caused by a coronavirus. From the paper:

> This finding is in contrast to multiple published studies in which pre-existing T-cell immunity is suggested to arise from shared epitopes between SARS-CoV-2 and other common cold-causing coronaviruses. However, our findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 reactive T-cells are likely to be present in many individuals because of prior exposure to flu and CMV viruses.

How is this an excuse to spell "grisly" as "grizzly"?

I'm not sure about the accuracy of this quote. In git world branch names have nothing to do with repositories. If anything, the "source of truth" repository is generally called "origin".

It's probably macOS doing something differently when run on an M1.

Amazon has another offering called Lightsail [1] with simpler pricing. It might work better for side projects.

That happens all the time. What's weird is that they look at me like I'm trying to rip them off.

I have already told you I am not going to charge you. I am just stating my rate if you were to pay for it.

It just needs to look like a bug, not a feature.

Nice one. I believe it was tried before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkExchange

Fair point. I just tested using tcpdump and the IP address in the response doesn't in fact end with a dot.

That doesn't sound right. A "tcpdump -n -s0 -x -X port 53" shows that the server simply returns "outlook-com.olc.protection", not a FQDN, for "dig mx outlook.com".

This is a solved problem and not very complicated. For starters the last DNS label of a hostname cannot be all numbers: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123#page-13

Agreed, but we don't have to have sympathy for a company to be fair to them. This is their business model and they have every right not to change it.

Are they also used to transmit power from one gear to another?

Yes, and the same holds for self driving cars. I fail to see the difference.

True, but you have to opt-out from Facebook too if an end user shares the link. Their argument only works if the news outlet shares the link.
