A huge swath of Republican voters are not voting for Trump. They are voting against “Democrats”. Propaganda in the US has turned politics into a team sport, and you always root for your team, even if your team is having a rough season.

It’s cute how you think things will be alive.

I keep an eye on these types of treatments. Type 1 diabetes being autoimmune and all.

So far, I’m putting it in the bucket with all the other “cure is just 5 years away” things we hear about.

It’s promising, and neat it’s worked in these cases, but I remain skeptical. Twice over as it appears to be research from China, who doesn’t have the best track record for robust scientific integrity. We’ll see how repeatable this stuff is soon enough.

The tricky part about T1 is… We don’t know why the immune system is malfunctioning, only that it is. Without that vital piece of research, everything that presents as a cure is temporary at best.

Dr. Faustman out of Mass General has been conducting some trials into phase two or three using the BCG vaccine to treat / cure the immune response.

There’s a problem there, though. The propaganda was basically various versions of “The government (when run by Democrats) is bad, don’t trust the government.”

If they put up a notice saying, “This domain was seized, here’s the real facts!” the target of the propaganda isn’t going to buy it for a hot minute.

If they put up replacement content that doesn’t mention the government seizure, tha target of the propaganda is already primed to shout, “Fake news!” at anything that disputes their existing worldview.

It’s best to just let those domains return like a 504 Internal Server Error and die a quiet death.

A “Library of Congress” for published web content maybe. Some sort of standard that allows / requires websites that publish content on oublic-facing sites to also share a permanent copy with an archive, without having the archive have to scrape it.

Sort of like how book publishers send a copy to the LoC.

I find the AI summaries of reviews Amazon does on product pages to be fairly inoffensive and generally a decent use of AI.

But it’s also clearly marked as auto-generated.

“Tiajuana? No, that’s too easy. Ensenada!”

I see. It seems like you may be one of the people that try to coerce relational models into nosql stores like Dynamo.

Or course it’s possible. They even trick you into thinking it’s a good pattern by naming things “tables”.

But if you’re using Dynamo to its fullest an ORM is not going to be able to replicate that into a relational store without some fundamental changes.

I am literally in the middle of swapping DynamoDB for a RDBMS.

The idea that you can abstract away such fundamentally different data stores is silly. While I hate doing it now, reworking the code to use relational models properly makes for a better product later.

Thomas Jefferson never added airplane safety regulations to the Constitution ergo, it’s completely unregulated. Also, Justice Alito would like to cite a man with tapestries tied to his arms as he jumped off a cliff in the 9th century saying of course it’s safe.

(11) Every old idea will be proposed again with a different name and a different presentation, regardless of whether it works.

I’d like to know.

I want to go out on my own terms. If that means I don’t have to save so much for retirement… Great, I can go on expensive vacations now instead of later.

And then I can do what needs to be done without regrets.

My principle dev asked if we could figure out how to invoke Lambda functions from within postgres trigger functions.

I was like, “Probably. But it’s like putting a diving board at the top of the Empire State building… doable, but a bad plan all around.”

Right.

Owning one or two residential properties is fine, more is problematic.

I say “two” to handle the very common case of children putting their parents’ homes in their own name because Medicare clawback rules will take the home after they die if you don’t do it early enough.

The documents were delivered by GOP congresspeople during Trump’s term, over a July 4 holiday.

The Internet says that the total cost for a degree from Johns Hopkins medical student per year is $64,665. In addition, various indirect costs like books, housing, healthcare, various fees, living expenses, and so on, bring that same estimate up to around $105,000 annually.

$1,000,000,000 invested in a stupid boring index fund at an estimated 4% return yields $40,000,000 in interest alone, or, using the above numbers, enough for 380(.95) students each year.

Based on this quick page from their own website: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/som/education-programs/md-program/our-students/class-statistics

Wherein they accept just 266 students, it could last for a very long time.

Trump can’t stay out of the spotlight long. He’s wholly incapable of not being the center of attention.

In other news, did you see his name in those Epstein records? Turns out he allegedly raped a few kids, so there’s something fun for Republicans to condone ignore.

Biden could trot out as a half-rotten corpse and I’d still vote for him over a serial liar and traitor to our nation.

Fyi: people often take out more than one loan, and leave the lowest interest federal loans for last…
