Autoimmune Disorders don’t seem to change COVID-19 risks.
Link. Might be that people with disorders are more careful, or that they tend to have hair trigger immune systems that do well with COVID-19.
“… a new iOS kernel exploitation technique that turns a one-byte controlled heap overflow directly into a read/write primitive for arbitrary physical addresses, all while completely sidestepping current mitigations”
Link. “I don’t think this technique represents the current state-of-the-art … it might represent the state-of-the-art of a few years ago.”
“Exxon is expecting oil prices to fall over most of the next decade”
Link. Peak Oil came and went and we barely noticed.
AWS outage: “one of the inputs to the command was entered incorrectly”
Link. You can always rely on people to do things perfectly every time.
“China now reserves the right to arrest Hong Kong activists anywhere in the world, and it’s trying hard not to let Hong Kongers escape to countries like Canada”
Link. Taiwan needs a nuclear deterrent.
NYT covers Veteran suicide risk and never mentions the gun problem.

Link. Especially for health care workers.
Poison rat: “chew chunks of the plants and spit them back out into their fur, anointing themselves with a form of chemical armor that most likely protects them from predators like hyenas and wild dog”
Link. Limited by the tree availability.
Hospital attacks: “unusual demands, combined with the coordination of the attacks, make “it seem that it was meant to be a disruptive attack” rather than a profit-seeking one”
Link. Hospital accreditation needs to include ability to recover from attacks.
