Anybody who doesn't use a dev VM these days is asking for trouble. It's too easy for attackers to run malicious code on your machine with techniques like this.
sudoaza, do you think its a coincidence that the virus outbreak began about 1/2 a mile from the Wuhan Institute of Virology?
Your argument is that Dr. Montagnier must be wrong because he believes in some crazy stuff, and you must be right because you became a virus expert about 2 months ago. I looked through your old posts and you mostly post about political stuff, so you obviously don't work in medicine, but hey I guess you know more than Dr. Montagnier, right?
I was wondering why it took so long for a simple random sample study to be done, but finally it has been done, and the result is pretty much as I expected - millions are carrying the virus, making the true mortality rate tiny.
This looks like a reliable study since its testing for antibodies, rather than the more common swab tests.
You're absolutely right. 10X for point 1. Millions of people are carrying this virus by now. Most (probably 99.99% of "contacts" do not result in transmission), and the virus is airborne ffs, it could easily blow down wind and somebody could catch it. Are these apps accounting for this too?
Honestly how accurate do they expect these apps to be?
Absolute waste of time. Nerds with too much time on their hands.
I wouldn't be so quick to judge, usually when something like this happens there's some bad blood.
If these people are reasonably good at what they do I doubt this will affect their chances of getting hired. They also don't need to put it on their CV.
I did the exact same. I used to be a Godaddy customer and had a bunch of domains with them. One day I cancelled some of them, but when I did this it didn't auto-cancel the associated services, as I expected, so they continued to charge me for whois guard, and some other services for domains I no longer owned after they expired.
My gut feeling is that far more people have this virus than the Johns Hopkins app says.
The biggest outbreak outside of China seems to be Iran, with 2,922 confirmed cases, 92 deaths and 552 recovered. This does sound bad since that is technically a 3% death rate, but my gut feeling is far more Iranians actually have it, but are not checking themselves into hospital because they don't want to be put in quarantine and would rather just stay home.
I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness, Corona virus still is something you don't want to get, but it probably won't kill you if you're a reasonably healthy person.
Unfortunately it will probably sweep the world before a cure is found, so we'll all be exposed to it eventually.
Get yourself a 4-color pen, or 4 separate pens, some highlighters, and in your own time (not in class), read the material from several sources - Wikipedia, text book, your professor's notes, understand the topic, then write your notes in your own words, using diagrams whenever possible.
Never copy things verbatim especially if you don't fully understand them. Understand the topic first, then write your notes.
If its taking you a long time to understand the topic, or it requires some back-tracking or further reading, do that, then return to the topic.
Taking down notes in lectures is often a waste of time because often the lecturer is just reading from his/her notes, which you have access to, however it depends on the Lecturer.
Final piece of advice is not to take them down in a text file. Use a pen and paper. I find hand-writing the notes is less distracting and forces me to think about them. However this may not be true for everyone.
The point is the attacker could put any kind of malicious payload in here.
