<p>If you're big in the google ecosystem it makes sense:<p>- gemini-cli can have remote a2a agents connected to it. (See <a href="https://github.com/tanaikech/gemini-cli-gas-a2a-subagents" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tanaikech/gemini-cli-gas-a2a-subagents</a> and the medium article linked in that repo description.) Haven't tried it but I tried the local use case below.<p>- can expose a custom Google ADK "agent" via one-liner as a2a, which you can connect to the gemini-cli the same way.</p>

<p>Avoiding SSO to keep access even if you loose access to bigCo email has been working well, but unfortunately more & more websites are moving away from password to instead verification code in the email.<p>Sure there are advantages to it, but if the email is bigCo, it effectively has the same drawbacks as SSO from same bigCo (i.e unfair account suspension, you're screwed)<p>With email+password, even if you lost access to let's say your Gmail, you can still login with that Gmail address and your password and go change the email in your account profile.</p>

<p>Per <a href="https://spaceexplored.com/2021/05/06/can-you-make-it-as-a-blue-origin-astronaut/" rel="nofollow">https://spaceexplored.com/2021/05/06/can-you-make-it-as-a-bl...</a>:<p>> When it comes to the G-Forces being pushed on you, many roller coasters have peak G’s at or above these limits. Most people are probably familiar with the different rides at Walt Disney World so let’s use those for examples. At EPCOT, Mission Space is a centrifuge-based ride where you go through a simulated launch and landing on Mars. The sustained G’s on that ride is 2.5 G’s, close to how many G’s New Shepard will experience during launch.<p>> For the descent, Blue Origin says you must be able to withstand 5.5 G’s, if you ever rode Rock ‘n Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you would have experienced up to 5 G’s during the initial launch of the ride.<p>Epcot Mission Space (the "Orange" version) is pretty intense as it's really sustained G-forces, but manageable. During the ride, you have to reach in front of you to press some buttons, and that's when you feel the G-forces most. But for SpaceX/BlueOrigin, passengers do nothing.<p>Rock n Roller Coaster itself for the peak G is done by kids, not a big deal.</p>

<p>I don't see the FBI director mention that Sars-Cov2 was engineered anywhere. He said "probably the result of a laboratory leak".<p>If someone runs a lab, and they have Ebola or other virus in their fridges, and it leaks due to poor handling practice, that doesn't mean Ebola was engineered...<p>So it's possible to agree with both the opinions of the virologists-podcasters AND of the director of the FBI, isn't it?</p>

<p>> Cool, now what's the incidence of Myocarditis and similar after COVID-19 infection?<p>Which mechanism would cause myocarditis when you get COVID 19?<p>The 2nd link in nradov's comment (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33599243" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33599243</a>) states:<p>> These findings indicate that introducing the mRNA vaccine into the circulatory system can lead to acute cardiac inflammation. The mechanism behind this requires further elucidation. However, it is speculated that this may be due to the pro-inflammatory properties of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used as carriers for mRNA.<p>The actual COVID-19 infection doesn't have any lipid nanoparticles, does it?<p>Agree with overall sentiment of your comment though: the overall real-bad symptoms caused by an infection when fully unvaccinated are probably not worth skipping vaccine.<p>The clinical trials in op's article as well as nradov's comment on "aspiration" to reduce myocarditis risk during vaccination are both important topics to explore.</p>
