Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

[Capital Steez]

Got my 2nd dose of the Pfizer at the United Center yesterday. Arm is more sore than the initial dose, but haven’t really experienced any other side-effects thankfully.

2 weeks from now, I might have to treat myself to a flight somewhere

My cousin got the phizer. He’s a lazy fat fukk with a terrible diet and didn’t feel any side effects. Just the sore arm most people experience. Lasted a day and now he said he feels fine.

Seeing stones: pandemic reveals Palantir's troubling reach in Europe

Troubling

"Inferiority complex
Europe’s dependence on US tech is not a matter of concern only for human rights advocates and privacy scholars. Some of the biggest businesses in Germany and France have been in talks over the creation of something akin to a safe haven for their own commercially sensitive data. Those discussions revealed that German car manufacturers were just as nervous as any privacy campaigner about releasing their data to US cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services.

Marietje Schaake, the director of Stanford’s Cyber Policy Centre, warned that Europe’s “tech inferiority complex” was leading to bad decisions: “We’re building a software house of cards which is sold as a service to the public but can be a liability to society. There’s an asymmetry of knowledge and power and accountability, a question of what we’re able to know in the public interest. Private power over public processes is growing exponentially with access to data and talent.”

Palantir says that “it successfully operates within and promotes the goals of the GDPR and its underlying principles”. It insists it is not a data company but rather a software company that provides data management platforms. It has for a decade, it says, worked in Europe with commercial and government organisations, “helping them successfully meet data protection requirements at scale as mandated at a European and national level”."

it's both shocking and a relief that this is officially acknowledged.

hopefully someone is trying to figure out why it exists and is trying to do something (really do something) about it.

palantir offers tech and offers joined-up-data in a way that governments themselves cannot do.

Side effects of 2nd Pfizer dose were not bad for me. Felt like I was hungover about 12 hours after, and my body felt sore like I ran a 5k race or something the day before. Still had a productive day and all that. Compared to my GF who had moderna and woke up sweating, in tears and said it hurt to move, I’ll take it.

I wonder what happens if some of them die from it. We haven't had any deaths as of yet in terms of athletes from pro leagues.
