Can they disambiguate between spike protein microclots produced by natural infection vs. those generated by the vaccines.


I am curious about the working hypothesis leading to this question.

Hypothesis: microclots are caused by the viral spike protein. The mRNA vaccine produces the viral spike protein. Therefore, a non-zero percentage of microclots are caused by spike protein originating from the vaccine.

One of the working theories on people suffering long COVID-like symptoms after receiving an mRNA COVID vaccine may apparently be related to spike proteins found in the patient's blood far longer than is typical/intended. This is apparently similar to long COVID patients.

At least, that's my layman's understanding when I was following it some years ago. I'm not sure if there's been more recent studies that have found more concrete links since then, but I suspect GP is in the same boat, which is why they asked.


I've looked up quite a lot of research about vaccines doing damage and the usual result is yes they do but it's about 100x less bad than covid itself.

Writing a web app at the moment with C++/Emscripten. What makes wasm unusable in Rust?


It's not unusable per-se, however being unable to take advantage of Rust's fearless concurrency and having to glue everything together with JavaScript severely restrict the usefulness.

May as well just use TypeScript and React at that point.

The dream is to be able to specify only a wasm file in an html script tag, have the tab consume under 1mb of memory and maximise the use of client hardware to produce a flawless user experience across all types of hardware.


Worth mentioning the brand has recently been acquired:

The Commodore brand is not the Amiga brand. The two have had their own separate histories post-Commodore. Interestingly, Commodore also had a line of x86-compatible PC's, though the prices were out of whack for the average home computer owner. (This only really changes starting in the mid-1990s with the "Multimedia PC" era, and Commodore is already out of the picture by then.)

at least his ideas seems less far fetched than a stadium in seattle and a brand new Amiga architecture but it's funny the same thing keeps happening


Working on a major new project right now in C++. In our case, it’s a high performance 2D GPU accelerated drawing application - C++ and many of its battle hardened/established libs are the only game in town. Rust is a non-starter for a large range of apps


Doesn't Sketch have smart layout in symbols? And they released multiplayer coediting last year.


That’s a very limited thing, at this point almost every frame in my UIs is autolayout, it’s that indispensable.


You've been able to play Sketch prototypes on the web for a few years already, also they just released a new iPhone app that lets you preview prototypes and docs. Their iOS Mirror app is pretty much deprecated now I think


Last I checked, I couldn't access the prototypes on a mobile device that wasn't iOS.

I just need Sketch to publish the prototype to a publicly accessible web URL like Figma does. When I needed to do usability testing, I had to use a third party service called Marvel that imports the mockups and publishes them to a web page on their domain.


That seems like a naive assessment of an education model that is failing across multiple dimensions of analysis. It saddles many students with crippling debt. It monopolises some of the most productive years of a persons life studying subjects often of minimal practical value to their future careers. It drains public funding and resources.

You say more highly educated people is better as if its a truism, it doesn't seem so clear to me. I don't see why, for example, someone spending their early 20s in an apprenticeship, doing vocational training or in an industry learning on the job is inherently worse for them or society than receiving a higher education.

Just about the only unambiguous positive I can see in university is the chance to grow and learn as a young person in a social setting, freshly independent of parents. But surely there are more efficient approaches that could be employed here.


> studying subjects often of minimal practical value to their future careers

the fact that these subjects offer minimal value should mean that the loan taken to study them should not have been taken. If the student likes the subject, and would be willing to pay, then so be it. But to borrow money, off the back of tax payers, to study a useless subject, is basically folly on the part of the administration approving those loans.


I for one am glad the system is not like this. I don’t not think our society as a whole would be better if the only thing we approved were studies of subjects with lucrative careers. While I do not understand Gender Studies , I appreciate those who are willing to study more about us and the phenomenons we silly little humans do.


It's not clear from your comment, but I'm assuming you deem the term "illegal strike" oxymoronic. It isn't.


De facto or de jure


What do you mean? Are you suggesting that somehow modern people have lost the drive to violently compete for resources if they became critically scarce? That seems unlikely to me. I think the old phrase "There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy" is as true now as ever.


Reminds me of

" Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes. "

DS9 had a lot of commentary. When someone asks why a democracy has such inequality, I think of Rom:

"You don't understand. Ferengi workers don't want to stop the exploitation. We want to find a way to become the exploiters"


I had never heard that phrase. Very insightful.


I don't know about grandparent but I do think that we have become soft and accepting of circumstances our ancestors would not tolerate. How many people live pretty sad lives distracting themselves with toys, electronics, crappy content, and self-medicating with marijuana or even opiates.

There are even biological signs of this shift. Like dropping testosterone levels in men.


> How many people live pretty sad lives distracting themselves with toys, electronics, crappy content, and self-medicating with marijuana or even opiates.

And how many people lived pretty sad lives being nothing more than serfs or farmers, without even the comfort of a distraction?


Software engineer and a farmer here. distractions are overrated. i ditched mine and my life improved greatly. ive since learned that building and making things is much more fun than crappy electronics toys content or drugs. Passive entertainment is for the lazy and those that lack creativity. Try picking up a hobby like woodwork or blacksmithing. Having sampled all of those listed distractions extensively, i can say im qualified to make the assertion.


And that's for you, not everybody is made of the same cloth, some might live for the distractions.


There's a huge gulf between "making things is a fun hobby" and "if I don't make things, I may not be able to eat / have shelter / clothe myself".


“Rich person who farms for fun instead of to barely feed a family suggests farming is fun. News at 10.”


Ive got a warm shower, a warm meal, dental, a roof over my head. Out ancestors would kill for the privilege of not having their children die from dysentery, Thier parents dying because your unrefrigerated food spoiled.

Enjoy a short brutal life with all that extra testosterone.


Not exactly sure that's how it works. I don't think there's any established correlation between low testosterone levels in males and comfortable lifestyles in society. I hope not, but it's possible the inverse maybe true. High testosterone drives males to compete for status, the by-product of which in human society is much of the complexity we see around us. Nobody really knows what happens to society when testosterone plummets - your warm meals and the roof over your head could be casualties of that.


Lots of people throughout history lived their lives under other people's boots without fetching a stick and poking their oppressors eyes out


The vast majority even.


I'm not sure that damage to various organs around the body beyond respiratory system is that a unique of a property - see myocarditis and the like related to influenza infection, which is a significant cause of mortality.
