Sorry to tell you but he was either the best President we've ever had or part of a Deep State plot to start WW3. Go read all the Q stuff. It's not a conspiracy or a cult, the media is actually lying. The real question is whether it is all part of a plan to create enough division to go to war.
The latest Q anon conspiracy was a suggestion the Ever Given was somehow involved in human trafficking and the Evergreen shipping company was in fact a front for global human trafficking that is somehow tied to Hilary Clinton.
The stuff they come up with is beyond bizarre and clearly points to some sort of wacky cult.
I don't know much about QAnon except that it started at 4Chan or 8Chan and parts of Reddit. I figure the Wikipedia article ought to have enough on them to make a valid opinion about the subject.
Yeah, Wikipedia is sure going to be an unbiased reliable source for heavily polarizing government information being massively censored by every other media outlet.
QAnon has caused a lot of trouble, even invading DC. They worship Trump as a Messiah and are a cult. No doubt they would be banned from HN if they came here for violating the rules.
I don't believe Bill Gates had anything to do with the virus, he was just naively trying to do good for the world and manages to get himself in trouble because of it.
They overdosed is my guess. The woman reported they each took "a spoonful" in soda. A teaspoon is 4 grams. An overdose is 2 grams. I don't know why this isn't reported anywhere.
It was probably the right chemical, as far as I can tell there isn't an aquarium specific formulation, Chloroquine Phosphate is Chloroquine Phosphate. You could just as easily overdose on the prescription if you downed a handful of pills.
I'm upset they didn't report this correctly because now people can still die from an overdose and people who might have had access to the aquarium chemical might have saved themselves with proper dosage.
As I understand it, the aquarium cleaning product in question is a mix of formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, copper sulphate and chloroquine. It is used to treat the fish parasite Amyloodinium ocellatum.
Taking a spoonful of that stuff is always a very bad idea.
Even if one could find "pure" Chloroquine Phosphate without all the other stuff, Chloroquine Phosphate is not the same as Chloroquine Phosphate. You can charge or remove electrons and still call it Chloroquine Phosphate, you can put it into different crystal formations, and I am probably forgetting other tricks that exist in chemistry to completely alter the behavior of a drug.
I hope this makes it on the front page. This might be a real solution to a large portion of the problem given that it is readily available, easy to manufacture, and prevents infection with less side effects than regular chloroquine.
Large amounts of the population could be prescribed this as a prophylactic and prevent much of the spread from occurring even in high risk occupations.
I would love to see the telehealth system used to send prescriptions for this to pharmacies everywhere for at risk workers.
I spoke to a few folks in India, and seems like the majority are on some form of maintenance dose of chroloquine from a getting malaria in the last 6-8 months. I hear this is pretty common practice there.
And not just OTC, but handed out for free and in large quantities at govt hospitals.
I am living in India right now and have never heard about this. It is interesting that you would gather that the majority of us are on some dose of Chloroquinine. Nobody I know, is.
I want Google to use my data in a "free for all." They have done incredible and useful things with it and in my opinion have been extremely responsible about it. If Google had a waiver I could sign allowing my data to be used for future developments I would sign it.
I hope they continue doing more cool stuff and measures like these don't end up limiting any future developments.
If anything I just wish I could more easily see what internal data all the advertising companies have on me. I'm sure they know more about me than I know about myself.
That's great, you should have that option. "Option" implies choice, however. I should have an option to meaningfully not agree to it. And "don't use Google services" doesn't actually cause Google to stop collecting data about an individual. Nothing short of "don't use internet" does, and even then only to an extent.
I've started reading "privacy agreement" for Google's "do not track me" browser extension the other day and it just seemed grotesque.
"They have done incredible and useful things with it and in my opinion have been extremely responsible about it"
It's impossible to know everything that they've actually done with your data, so I don't see how you can maintain that they've been responsible with it.
Same. I give my data to Google and I know this. I wish there were more transparency about the people I don't actually give permission to or there is no workaround. Credit card companies, web trackers, ISPs, etc.
> I want Google to use my data in a "free for all." They have done incredible and useful things with it and in my opinion have been extremely responsible about it.
One arm of Google might be doing good things, but another arm might do bad things, like optimize engagement, ad clicking, manipulating buying behavior and stuff like that, or even worse.
That last link doesn't contain anywhere near enough information. Look at it a few times over the course of a month, and watch how the data changes over time… often seemingly retroactively.
a) The law states they cannot do this arbitrarily and most of us may not want them to do the 'free for rall'.
b) I doubt that the 'free for all' produces many benefits beyond targeted ads.
Seriously curious, what 'cool stuff' does Google do today that fundamentally relies on this 'free for all'?
Traffic information is probably one nice thing that requires the sharing of data. We could totally narrow the kinds of information shared, and on what basis, quite a lot with that one.
I 100% agree. The fact that Google app on iOS can tell me where I parked my car is very useful to me. The fact that my docs and emails show up in Google search results is damned handy. And, as a Xoogler who has worked at a number of other large tech companies, I feel that Google has state-of-the-art controls over access to user data and logs. By no means is it a free-for-all.
