Re: Sjeesh

The reason corporate entities spring for paid-for kit is not just that you can ring up and get "support", it is so that someone else warrants the fitness of the item concerned.

Most businesses cannot afford to rely on in-house s/w checking - why should they if they are a hospital, or an airport? They should be doing due diligence on suppliers and then relying on THEIR resources to guard against nasties (and to fix sh1t when it goes wrong).

The social engineering here is to exploit people's greed, of which there is plenty evident.

In a lottery you lose the cash invested, the rate of return depends on the number of other tickets purchased, the security of both depends on the business running the lottery.

With Chia the value invested in HDD depreciates as with the resale value of the HDD, the rate of return depends on the amount of disk space allocated by other users, the security of value is er nil

With UK premium bonds the value of the investment is maintained in cash terms (depreciates by inflation), the return per bond is at a set, known, rate and the entire setup is guaranteed by HMG

Also income is tax free.

They're not very alike.

I **think** that means that there is no difference in the chance of corruption as experienced at a local level.

If said hackers had the science, maths knowledge and data skills to understand and manipulate the records sufficient to fool the rest of the scientific community I doubt they'd be hacking into others' databases for loose change.

Re: s

FWIW the underlying piece of info from which this conspiracy grew is a project to store some medical information onboard following vaccination.

"researchers developed a new type of copper-based quantum dots, which emit light in the near-infrared spectrum. The dots are only about 4 nanometers in diameter, but they are encapsulated in biocompatible microparticles that form spheres about 20 microns in diameter. This encapsulation allows the dye to remain in place, under the skin, after being injected."

A fantastic project which has triggered the technophobes everywhere

"I don't get that bit. Why? It's present and spreading in countries where their winter temperatures are higher than our best summer temperatures. I'm guessing there must be some wholly counter-intuitive reason for it bit I can't for the life me work out what it is."

Because when it is cold, windy and wet we shut our windows and spend more time indoors. We take the bus to work rather than walk or bike.

The dispersal of virus vectors outside is very significant but in the still air of a sealed home or office.....

As some other wise person has said, it WILL spread until a very high proportion of the population have had it. The only thing, ultimately, that can stop that happening will be an effective vaccine with significant uptake. Until then all we can do is slow the spread to the point where our economy can support our medical service to treat the casualties.

Good plan

Oh
