This feels like usb 3 super speed flakeyness. Did you do all the usual things of trying different ports, moving sources of interferrence, etc? Front ports at super speed are typically the most trouble.

From the CDC report [1], it's pretty clear that rabies was not considered for the donor until after the donee died and rabies was confirmed. Possibly because the donor had been scratched by a skunk and not biten. The report says the scratch had been noted on the donor risk assessment interview (DRAI), but that skunks are not considered a reservoir for rabies in his area.

Electrifying ferries is great, but this particular one has a run time of 20 minutes (and a charge time of 10 minutes). I get a totally different vibe from 'oceanic ship' than a 20 minute ferry ride.

Near me, we now have a hybrid ferry, no charging infrastructure, but it still uses much less fuel than before it was refit, so that's cool too. It's bigger than the one you linked and sails on a longer route: 2,499 passengers, 202 vehicles, typically serves an 8.6 mile route.

Absolutely, but that's how this starts. Boats too started as ferries, it took many, many years before boats purposefully went into blue water. Ferries are a great testbed, they have lots of cycles and they are a pre-cursor to coastal and then eventually larger ocean going vessels, which I predict will go diesel-electric before they go all electric.

How do you measure a true positive? Afaik, we don't have an objective, repeatable method of diagnosis.

If you can't measure a true positive, you can't determine the false positive rate.


I've read that fMRI may be used as an objective diagnostic tool for autism. This was a few years back and I'm not sure how further research panned out.

You've probably read about some differences that show up on a population level (just like there are with ADHD) but it's not a diagnostic tool.

That sentence doesn't indicate the sequence of events. Both of the following sequences match the sentence; thus the confusion.

Sequence 1:

Day 0) Donor contributes kidney to donee

Day 10) Donor dies of rabies

Day 15) Donee dies of rabies

Sequence 2 (the incident sequence)

Day 0) Donor shows symptoms of rabies (undiagnosed)

Day 2) Donor dies of rabies (diagnosed as heart failure)

Day 2+?) Donor's kidney is installed in donee

Day N) Donee dies from rabies

Day N+M) Donor's death is reevaluted and rabies is diagnosed


I think the criteria for donation are most easily met by people who die as a result of something like a vehicle collision, but an otherwise healthy person who experiences sudden heart failure may have viable organs... From the reporting, this donor was not otherwise healthy, but maybe the symptoms were not known at the time or dismissed for some reason.

Not really. Organs from people who have died are almost always nonviable. So when it comes to vehicle collision victims, only people who are slowly dieing of internal hemorrhaging are used. Sudden heart failure organs are bad for two reasons: first, if the heart actually fails, you have minutes before organs are nonviable. Second, the medication that's used for trying to keep the heart beating will actually accelerate death, including organ death, if it doesn't work.

Most organs come from from people, usually braindead, who are definitely going to die, but you have days or at least hours before the body actually loses the fight. And even then the extraction process needs to be started quickly, because in the process of dieing the body will, as it's losing blood, ie. power and oxygen, one-by-one cut off blood flow from organs to try to keep the heart, lungs and brain alive. Most organs that have had their blood flow cut off by the body can't be transplanted, so extraction needs to happen before that point.

So that was probably the case here.


IBM still sells mainframes and similar. And has a giant consulting and service business.

Their purchse of RedHat flows into consulting. Their purchase of Softlayer (rebranded into IBM Cloud) is more IBM owned, customer operated computing, a business IBM has been in since forever.


I mean, having been in that building a few times, and working on the other side of the street, it's pretty clear the reason that building is such a disaster is that the architects did what the clients asked for. I like to give Gehry the benefit of the doubt, maybe that's cause he guest starred on Arthur. But you can only tell the client they're dumb and their building will suck to be in so many times before you just go ahead and let them have their hellscape.

The roof was pretty nice though.


> Look at the farms that have the houses of that era standing on them and you'll soon notice that they are all mansions.

TLDR: survivorship

The typically large farms with nice houses were making reasonable money, and in a lot of places, only the house remains of the farm. My old neighborhood was a large farm, subdived into about 1000 postage stamp lots around 1900; the owner's house got a slightly larger lot and stuck around as your mansion.

The small farms that were within the means of more people tended to have shanty houses and those have not persisted. If the farm is still a farm, it's likely been subsumed into a larger plot.


Absolutely. A US user sends you money, you send them product.

US customs takes the product at the border, and if you transit the border expect to be arrested. Your customer should expect to be arrested as well.

Maybe you get put on a list so US banks can't send you money anymore too.


So same thing happens here, except we're talking packets, and going across wires. They got caught using illegal packets across wires in the country in question, so they get fined. If you have legal presence, then that entity gets the fine.

Makes perfect sense for me in both cases.


If they have presence, then yeah. You have to follow the laws everywhere you have presence. Otherwise you get arrested. (more or less)

That's why the EU requires presence in the EU, when you want to process EU data. This IS exactly what happens here.

If you don't have a presence in the EU, then the EU can't require anything of you.

X does have a presence in the EU though, because it wants to make money by selling EU citizens data.

That's not indication of presence. You can do that from across the border.

X does have presence in the EU, but it's because they have offices/employees, equipment, and accounts housed there.

The EU may say anyone who deals in the data of their citizens is subject to their jurisdiction, but enforcement on those entities without actual presence will be difficult.
