  • Should be a fine of $10,000 per customer whose data was breached. Plus any costs associated from each customer for stolen identities. Plus cost for identity protection services for each customer.

    Comcast: we’d go out of business!

    Good. Then the government can auction off your infrastructure (really the US’s since we paid for most of it) and the next company won’t fuck around with data.

    Oh, and if the company tries to hide data breaches, it’s a $1M fine per customer breached plus 10% yearly gross revenue as a fine, on top of the above.


  • Which, Biden cannot defeat trump. period. He’s now too deeply unpopular among large segments of the Dem’s base.

    Proof?

    Parties almost never run primaries with an incumbent. It’s stupid as all hell to throw away a known quantity who already won.

    “He’s unpopular”. There isn’t a more popular candidate. Harris has nothing to her name except VP and they’re not going to throw her away for a new VP. And primaries bring the circus: debates, new dirt dug up. You want to beat Trump? Tossing up more doubt isn’t going to do it.





  • Oh wow that’s so much worse. Upload consciousness and then still have to work. But FB now has 500M extra consciousnesses it doesn’t have work for. So it transfers them to a country with very low labor laws and puts them to work as independent contractors. Their pay is docked for electricity and storage.

    If the people complain about the transfer and slave-like job change, FB is still required to support them indefinitely. But not provide them with extraneous services like the internet. So as the above says, mental solitary confinement. FB checks back in in case you want to change your mind. 99% change within the first 24hr.










  • At first, the ultrasound pushed the mixture into the upper layers of skin, where the shape of the proteins caused vaccine-filled bubbles to form. As ultrasound kept hitting the skin, those bubbles burst and released the vaccine. As the experiment went on, the action of the bubbles breaking also cleared some dead skin cells, making the skin more permeable and allowing more and more vaccine molecules make it through.

    A needle pushes vaccine molecules all the way into the muscles beneath the skin, while the ultrasound technique just delivers the vaccine to the upper layers of skin. But this more shallow process is sufficient for immunisation, says Dunn-Lawless.

    In tests with live mice, the researchers found that while the ultrasound method delivered 700 times fewer molecules of vaccine than conventional jabs, the animals produced more antibodies. The researchers say that the mice didn’t show signs of pain and there was no visible damage to their skin.

    Neat. I’m wondering about the effectiveness with thicker skin in humans.


    • 1.5min really isn’t that long compared to the procedures just to process insurance, identity, etc. Retrieving needles, etc. This only needs the topical vaccine, an ultrasound machine, and a wipe for the machine.
    • When this goes mainstream it’ll be a little device with cutout so you can apply it flawlessly to the upper arm. Ultrasounds need training to get readable data, but probably a LOT less just to apply ultrasound to an area.
    • Needles will still be king anywhere in the developing world. It’ll be more expensive initially, but with the mass production the price will go down. And there will be small cost savings to not having to deal with sharps and biohazards as often.
