As I understand it Pfizer announced future booster business as COVID becomes endemic in their call with Barkley’s last spring.

“ what we believe, what I believe is as we move from a pandemic state, from a pandemic situation to an endemic situation, normal market forces, normal market conditions will start to kick in. And factors like efficacy, booster ability, clinical utility will basically become very important, and we view that as, quite frankly, a significant opportunity for our vaccine from a demand perspective, from a pricing perspective, given the clinical profile of our vaccine. So clearly, more to come here. But we think as this shifts from pandemic to endemic, we think there's an opportunity here for us.”

“But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself.”

“ When we started building Stack Overflow in 2008, we didn’t have that choice. There was no Docker (2013), no Kubernetes (2014). Cloud computing was in its infancy: Azure had just launched (2008), and Amazon Web Services was about two years old. What we built was designed for specific hardware and made a lot of assumptions about it.”

Frankly, I miss those days.

Problem with this: keep your phone with you always conflicts with don’t have secure conversations within mic range of your phone. You can’t do both of these.

But otherwise this is great and I would probably add “reset and replace devices often.”

“ vCJD or “classic” CJD, which is not known to be caused by prions from animals. Classic CJD strikes an estimated one person per million. Some 80% of cases are sporadic, meaning they have no known cause, ”

Who knows really. 10 years is a long time to wait and worry, but it can take up to 50 years to express itself. Just imagine spending your whole life worrying about this.

Sometimes when I’m dumber than usual I try to make up for it with more coffee. Wonder if something like that could be driving this. People with dementia try to compensate with more coffee.

This is a great answer. I think my problem is explaining it to poor people, who see Elon musk and jack dorsey, pushing Bitcoin as “for the people” and they just think, oh it’s for those rich guys to hype their startup options into the stratosphere, not for us folks living in debt on the verge of homelessness. I want to help those people get in on it, so they aren’t left even further behind if that makes sense.
