<p>If Prasad thought this needed more research then it needed more research. He and the people he works with have written dozens, maybe hundreds now, of reports that expose studies that lack the rigor for definitive results, have misleading endpoints, have imbalanced arms etc. I get that anything that would slow vaccines down has somehow become political and lots of people would gladly accept the pharmaceutical companies word on things. This is a blindness due to political leanings and not evidence based. If Prasad says it needs more and better data I'd put money on it needing it.</p>

<p>I'd like to remind people reading this that are concerned about it that there is a LOT you can do to improve the world.<p>If many reduced their energy consumption and material waste there would be a measurable reduction in CO2. Buy things only when you need them, reuse or find a new home for things before discarding them. Keep you tires inflated, buy efficient vehicles. Improve home insulation, consider a heat pump heating and cooling system when the time comes, etc.<p>Don't let this be a problem because you can't get government to force your neighbors to do it, take the initiative to lead by example.</p>

<p>I follow Vinay Prasad (<a href="https://substack.com/@vinayprasadmdmph" rel="nofollow">https://substack.com/@vinayprasadmdmph</a>) to keep up on these topics. It feels like getting a portal to the future in some way as he's on the cutting edge of analyzing the quality of the analysis in a ton of papers. You get to see what conclusions are likely to change in the next handful of years as the information becomes more widespread.</p>

<p>The irony that the judge would likely have held you in contempt if you didn't obey one of their orders but seems to think it's ok to help people pursued by other law enforcement to skip out. The judge should know that even they aren't above the law and they can't override other judicial and administrative rulings just because they disagree with them.</p>

<p>If you'd read my comment more carefully you'll notice that I'm asking for exactly that, and from Krebs himself.<p>My point (again) is that IF he did support the Biden laptop disinformation tract that this would be more than sufficient cause for being removed from his national security related position AND that this one of the reasons listed by the present administration, in addition to suppression of Covid-19 information and others.</p>

<p>Glad we've got some competition in this space.

<p>Headline is misleading. Quote from the article:<p>"some 3,400 workers who had been targeted for layoffs — an estimated 10 percent of the workforce"<p>10% doesn't meet the traditional usage of the term 'decimate' (as few use the term only when it meets the dictionary definition).</p>

<p>Re: the text up top, HN is already pretty much a mono-culture. If you dissent your comments are voted down. I'm sure its possible to have <i>more</i> moderation and to more actively tamp down alternative views but imo it's already excessive and reducing the scope of ideas here.</p>

<p>"it seems like all usual controls were bypassed". Apparently it isn't known. Let's answer this question and be impartial about it. A story about China having access to Treasury Department workstations landed a few months ago. There may be a LOT of bad practices in place. We should be pushing to improve them if so.</p>

<p>Why the security concerns now and not with the thousands of employees with potentially similar access? NOW it's a concern because the idea occurred to people that who might have access to data is important? Imo the faux outrage is so far beyond rational that it turns people away. Let's have a reasonable discussion about data access and controls, and whether they are being followed, rather than some reflexive response based on political points of view.</p>

<p>Carl Sagan may very well be correct, however he didn't make predictions about when such an event might occur, and his predictions were aimed at avoiding it occurring at all.<p>I've seen this article appear several times in two distinct time periods, one was after Trump was elected the first time, and the second is now.<p>Why is it popular now? Because people opposed to the present political party want to portray it as a decent into darkness and superstition. It's being used as a tool and it's hyperbole.<p>Don't fall for the trap, things in the US at least appear to be improving tremendously in just a matter of weeks. Border security is improving, cutting off trafficking and drugs. Middle East peace is advancing. Ukraine might be settled. Significant waste is being cut from government spending etc.</p>
