Scottish study (Adeno-associated virus 2 infection in children with non-A-E hepatitis): https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.07.19.22277425

I was unable to find the UCL (London) study, but the above DOI references UCL faculty.


I wonder why they singled out A and E, shouldn't it be non-A, non-B, non-C, non-Delta, non-E hepatitis. It's been a long time since you could call hepatitis C "non-A, non-B hepatitis". Though this is in children, they probably should not be getting hepatitis C unless something has gone horribly wrong, so it might be okay to exclude that one, and hepatitis Delta is obscure, though is does show an analogue with this because the coinfecting "helper" with Delta is hepatitis B virus.


IIRC from the previous discussions, liver complications are more common following Hep-A or Hep-E infections. What was new about this wave of cases was liver complications without the known Hep A/E precursor.


Depending on how much one's willing to stretch that argument, they can also point out that all known life is digital.

Human genome is, effectively, a historical digital record (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature10231).


I don't think it's a stretch at all to say that the base sequence of DNA, or the residue sequence of a peptide, is digital, and yes, that's what makes reproduction as we know it possible.

Many aspects of life, however, are analog. Magnesium concentrations, membrane polarizations, molecule orientations, temperature, and so on.


Makes me question what else they are incompetent in.


When an expert is explaining things to non-experts (like a marketing page would), you use terms that your audience will understand and relate to. The goal is not perfect technical accuracy. The goal is to convey the basic idea so the reader can understand it.


A company i work with uses their cdn product. We have been using them for a year or so now, with no issues, and a very helpful support team.

They are fairly competent and cheap. A happy bunny customer here


Now I am wondering what else I am incompetent in. This comment and the original give no context to why I would not use the word routing with DNS?

I looked up the definition of routing in a few places and I do not see why it does not fit. Does this also qualify as incompetent https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/zones/manage-routing-polic... ?

Your mileage may vary, I have an anecdote to tell.

About a decade ago, I went to North Wales for vacation and obtained a 70's Soviet camera in pristine condition (Zorki-4K) at a car boot sale, along with the original case and strap.

A couple days later, it came to my attention there was a carnival nearby. And, frankly, I'm not sure if "carnival" is what it's called, but they had a Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, stuffy prizes, that kind of thing.

All I had with me was my Zorki and a couple rolls of b&w 35mm film. By the time I got there, it was dark, I had to push the exposure quite a bit, and I was so focused in trying to understand the gear I had, a couple of local policemen came to me and start asking why I was taking pictures.

Even after hearing my thick accent, seeing my vintage camera, examining my Russian passport, they weren't satisfied and wasted almost half an hour of my time checking some sex offender database for my name.

I didn't even bother to process the roll, none of those pictures had enough light.


In a time before I had any awareness of international security concerns, I was taking photographs of an airport and the planes taking off from an adjacent abandoned industrial lot. To my surprise, the federal police showed up and ask what I was up to. Turns out explaining that you're taking pictures of something because it looks cool is not going to cut it, I guess it's shallow enough of a reason for it to be suspicious. They asked to see my photographs, because it was all sunset silhouettes I think they were satisfied I wasn't trying to gather intel on the airport and they went on their merry way.


You should check out Auditing Britain on youtube.


I worked for a public university in America, therefore being a public employee. Any of my neighbors could easily go to the state website and look up my income.

Frankly, I never felt that to be an issue. It was also nice to have that transparency in the workplace, all of my colleagues knew exactly how much any of us made.


dn42 [0] also has, effectively, a playground for BGP. While I don't have experience with it personally, it seems to be just a VPN network with private addressing where you can find other folks to form neighbors with.

That being said, you don't need to be online to play with routing protocols. A couple VMs with your favourite flavour of Cisco/Juniper virtualised switches do just as well. Some of the most popular projects to simplify VM spin-up and interconnections are GNS3 [1] and EVE-NG [2].

I'm surprised large users don't have a simulate-before-issuing BGP-changes policy given the number of times BGP has bitten people. I imagine the devil would be in the differences between your sim and actual behavior, but it might save a few people a lot of pain.


To add, it's common to see a headshot in an acting resume.


any chance you could help find a source for that?
