That polar bear has two heads.


Yeah, somewhat ironically you were looking at the reading comprehension scores.


They only approve that which they've tested for; in this case, they've only tested using this dosage as a booster. If, later, there's more testing on people who have not had any vaccine, they may expand the authorization. It's not a conspiracy.


They've only tested it on mice....


It's there (table 5); it's just formatted differently. Presumably the original poster decided not to include it, as it added the footnote "Victims of other races are not shown separately due to small numbers of sample cases", which doesn't fit his framing.


What document are you talking about here? In the "full report" [1] table 5 is "Rate of victimization reported and not reported to police, by type of crime, 2019–2020", and has nothing about race.

This document doesn't contain any equivalent of the cross-tabulations contained in the tweet, as far as i can tell.

The report's been split into two docs. The referenced table is in the Supplemental Statistical Tables by the same authors: https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/cv20sst.pdf


The cited article on WP ( https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/ultra-orthodox-zip-codes-have... ) notes that measles vaccination rates were around 70%, vs 99% for the rest of the state. Given the vaccine schedule, it's pretty likely that if you're a kid not vaccinated for measles, you're not vaccinated for polio either.


No, it wouldn't. The Dow is weighted for exactly this reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_Jones_Industrial_Average#C...


On point #1, you can probably do 10Gbps (assuming it's actually Cat5e), as long as it's under 50m or so. If it's just a run inside your house, it's likely well within range.


Yep, you beat me to this comment. I ran cat 5e through my house in 2009 and didn't bother with cat 6 because no cable runs would be that long. I assumed there would be 10Gb consumer switches by now, but I haven't seen any yet.


There are consumer 10gbit switches now, though they are on the pricy side at around $400. I bought 3 of them for our datacenter and 2 of them broke within 2 years, so I definitely regret buying consumer grade for our operations but professional gear was ridiculously expensive then. Upgraded to ubiquity now, hopefully it's more reliable, though I guess it's on the prosumer side if you ask your average net admin.


Well, when I say consumer, I mean unmanaged and less than $100 for 4-8 ports. I assumed that when gigabit over UTP was formalized in 1999, I wouldn't have to wait a quarter century to upgrade, but here we are. And to be fair, gigabit still basically does what I need.


The power usage on 10GB copper is nuts so most of the cheapest switches come with SPF cages.


I'm guessing it's less than the one or two dozen 60 watt bulbs I used to use to light my house. But yes, I've heard this for a long time - at my work we used twinax or fiber often for top of rack switching and that's one of the reasons I was told. Not sure if twinax is much less power intensive, but I do have a buddy who's using regular old coax in his house (moca or something like that) as a multi-gig backbone (still less than 10G) now and he likes it. Nowadays that I have more money, I would have run fiber alongside the cat 5/6 cable to future proof things, but I'm told terminating fiber is a technical challenge. I guess there's no free or even cheap lunch for 10G yet.


What I've heard is that 10Gb over copper struggles with heat and power consumption, though it is technically possible.


Yes, it’s 5E. I thought that cat5e maxes out at 2.5GBit. Honestly, none of my devices would benefit from 2.5Gbit in a significantly way. I run some cloud backups in the night and it’s ok if it takes extra 5 minutes.


You can try, depending on length 10Gbit are achievable.


I've been able to get 10G over a shoddy 100ft cat5e run. Give it a shot! It's fun!


Nope, it does not work at 10 Gbps; just 5Gbps for short runs (30m) and 2.5Gbps for 100m. I never tried for very short runs (1-5m), but it does not work for 50m at 10 Gbps.


He spent a couple weeks saying that the Biden administration was predicting an invasion that wasn't going to happen as a way of distracting from other problems, e.g. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1493641714363478016


That doesn't mean it's stored in plain text. They could be storing a nice hash, and then when the crawler finds your email and password on some site some where, it could try to hash it as if you were logging in and see if it matches.


Salting (which they absolutely should be doing precisely to make mass dictionary attacks computationally expensive) would make that infeasible.

More likely they're just checking against the stolen passwords database whenever the user logs in, as passwords are typically submitted in plain text.


Salting doesn't matter in this case. They're not finding a list of free-floating passwords and then seeing if anyone has that password; they're finding a list of accounts and associated passwords. So they only have to check that particular combination, just as they would for a regular login.


D’oh you’re right.


Do you know how computationally expensive it is to hash passwords?


It's computationally expensive to hash every single possible password, but given a proposed login/password combo, it's not expensive to check just the one. If Google, in crawling, finds a dump of several million accounts and their purported passwords, it's not a heavy lift to check each password.


He was not "one of the early inventors of mRNA vaccines". He admitted as much when pressed on it: https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/3aa2eefd The only reason anyone started thinking he _had_ invented the mRNA vaccine was his wife editing his Wikipedia article to claim that he had: https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/07/13/is-mrna-vaccine-i...


I'd say he was an early pioneer in the field.
