@anita I think you mean "Anita's Bitcoin Meme Review". 😂

@alex Would be worth going through the signatures on both though to see if they correspond to real people. Easy thing for either side to false flag attack.

@drgo Sometimes quick-n-dirty works. :)

@drgo There's actually a table of block heights vs progress!

@drgo Try setting up a new node on a fast Amazon EC2 node with enough ram to fit .bitcoind on a ramdisk. :)

Though it took awhile to find peers fast enough to take advantage of that...

Can't say I know much about cpu governors. I'm no overclocker.

...why is this so good...

@verretor note how that's a soft form of corruption: you're ultimately funneling money to journalists...

@121 ...and even the German data is probably undercounting!

https://docs.rs/arrayvec/0.6.0/arrayvec/struct.ArrayVec.html#method.into_inner

Nice! ArrayVec's API now integrates perfectly with Rust const generics.

This is surprisingly useful for initializing arrays generically. Eg:

fn foo<T, U, const N: usize>(src: [T; N]) -> [U; N])
where T: Foo<U>
{
let mut r: ArrayVec<N> = ArrayVec::new();

for item in src {
r.push(item.foo());
}

r.into_inner().ok().unwrap()
}

On that basis alone I think ArrayVec should be added to the standard library. The alternative is MaybeUninit yuck.

@121 Exactly. There is *no* way that all potential vaccine deaths are being reported, making it difficult to impossible to use VAERS data to find problems.

@121 Morality varies by multiple orders of magnitude in the US, so it's impossible to say much without knowing age distributions of those reports, those getting vaccinated, and how likely reports are to be made.

That said, it's always suspicious if far *fewer* reports of something that you'd expect to happen by coincidence are coming in... VAERS is obviously not including most deaths, which could easily hide something.

@121 Or even had higher depending on age distribution. Or lower.

@121 What's their definition of "linked"?

A simple post-vaccination mortality stat might be more useful to know. :/

@richard Same. I can't be bothered to climb with a mandatory mask.

@mir_btc "eagerly awaiting a possible vaccine option"

The obvious response: why are you waiting for that option?

"27.52% of gym members globally and 34.94% in the US don’t intend on returning, even after being vaccinated"

Public health is a disaster.

@121 Note how the researcher who raised the alarm had spent his career studying the disease for the US military: Dengue Fever is a genuine problem for them, and they're in the business of buying vaccines, not selling them. So his incentives are to find something that works.
