There is sufficient evidence in the coronavirus genome to assess the origin without any further cooperation from China. The crime against humanity is not the lab leak, instead the crime against humanity is the CCP cover up actions that allo

Java can be written with no garbage collection. 1. Pool the business objects and create them all ahead of time. Restore them to the pool after a thread uses them. 2. Create a String pool and use == for equality checks. 3. Avoid Java constru

The new part is the assertion that lab researchers got sick in the fall of 2019. This is consistent with evidence of the virus in Italy in the same time period. Due to the large number of Chinese working in Italy, there was a direct flight

This statistic puts an end to the debate about COVID death reporting. Some said that COVID deaths inflated due to federal subsidies to hospitals with COVID patients. Some said that deaths would have occurred anyway due to the serious medica

This research is evil. "We engineered a SARS-CoV-2 variant containing this substitution. The variant exhibits more efficient infection, replication, and competitive fitness in primary human airway epithelial cells, but maintains simila

I found out at age 68 that I was on the spectrum. Awesome to have an explanation for the associated super powers and deficiencies. My main super power is a love of programming from age 17 until now still going strong - learned Selenium in t

Need private offices with UV-C lamps sterilizing the air going into each office. Less sick days will pay for the private office floor space, plus productivity increases.

Use UV-C air cleaners to kill all airborne virus and bacteria in each closed office. Very inexpensive. Look for HEPA air cleaners. Conference rooms, and lunchrooms can have a personal UV-C air cleaner quietly blowing sterile air at each fac

Essentially... "“We have tested SARS-CoV-2 isolated from a patient and found that camostat mesilate blocks entry of the virus into lung cells,” says Markus Hoffmann, the lead author of the study. Camostat mesilate is a drug approved in

Better for Microsoft to skin the linux kernel with a Windows like UI. Run classic windows programs in a VM similar to the old DOS box. Problems with Windows stem from legacy code and its antiquated file system.

In Java, I created thread local resource pools including strings which eliminate garbage collection in sensitive routines. Of course it’s much faster in java to perform pooled string comparison with ==. Likewise I always use the indexed

High tariffs on imports help to bring back USA manufacturing no doubt. All sufficiently large economies should protect their domestic industries with tariffs. Otherwise its a race to the bottom for labor wages.

Nailed it. Plus tariffs are voluntary taxes drawing from funds from importers. The economy will slow down as it adjusts to re-industrialization with higher prices paid out as wages to USA workers.

Apparently not because of what is said above about caches being unencrypted. Past Intel architecture allows two threads to share a physical core in such a way as the cached data of the first thread may be probed with a timing attack to reve

Given that much research is from American public financing, why pay foreign grad students to perform research when salaries could be raised enough to attract US resident students.

Hope that others on Trump's list do the same. A major step in radicalization is for some US Muslims to visit a radical Muslim country in order to become more devout and perhaps radicalized for jihad against the USA when they return hom
