One of interesting checks in this study might be to check when (if) any of the participants had taken this vax and what the impact might be on an Alzimer's diagnosis.
Facebook tried to game the "Invited comments" system in an amateurish way and got spanked. GOOD!
But this should not distract from the fact the there needs to be a substantive debate about the merits/otherwise of their Free Basics initiative.
In a country like India where millions of people have ZERO access to the full internet, any effort that provides ANY access - however limited and curated - should not the shouted down by a vocal subgroup.
If after a meaningful debate the conclusion is that it is better to hope for eventual full access with zero current access(!) rather than instant limited access then so be it, but Facebook is not helping its cause with these stupid shenanigans.
I am still struggling to figure out if Andreessen is serious or he is trolling with these idiotic statements.
Sample:
"The biggest surprise for me was that people were so shocked, because I thought we've been funding this agency for 50 years that has tens of thousands of employees and spends tens of billions of dollars a year."
We fund police & firefighters for more than that (aggregated) so we shouldn't be surprised when serious police misconduct comes to light. I shouldn't be surprised if say for instance they locked up Mr. Andreesson without charges? What kind of moronic argument is that?
" The secrets he's revealed have hurt Silicon Valley by association,..."
So it is the revelation that the NSA is indulging in widespread Warantless spying on Americans & everyone else that hurt Silicon valley, not the Spying itself.
So by that logic Nixion's Watergate break-in was not bad, its revelation was bad? What a twit
I think I have lost what little respect I had for this guy.
We could do with a few more Snowdens to counteract him any day.
in a certain version of FORTRAN (I think 77) you could do interesting things with code that spanned two lines (80 Chars)
My code did this repeatedly - over and over leading to some unexpected results
Nearly 17 years and still going on...
Remember starting with a neat little FORTRAN Hack all the way back in college. The instructor nearly fell off his chair when saw the source code - one of my favorite moments.
