@GergelyOrosz And yet they have soc 2 compliance on several services. (Didn't check if it is the ones impacted). It would cover a RTO and RPO objective, test plans and validation.

@bentlegen @TridhatriV TIL 😢, world view shifted

@ttcdoors @jamaalism Any info on the impact of air quality, brake dust, and long term health?

Another huge medical achievement from our very own @UHN 🇨🇦🔥

A Toronto man lived with HIV for 27 years. Then he got leukemia and that diagnosis may have just cured him of both.

His doctors found a bone marrow donor carrying CCR5-Δ32, a rare mutation in ~1% of people of European descent. HIV hijacks immune cells through the CCR5 receptor. If you don't have it, the virus has no door.

The transplant replaced his entire immune system with one HIV can't infect.

He stopped antiretroviral therapy in July 2025. As of today, HIV is undetectable by the most sensitive assays available. No viral reservoir. No immune response to HIV. Nine months clean.

He would be the 11th person in history to possibly be cured of HIV.

HIV cure is possible. We just proved it again at @UHN

Proud of the team at @UHN and @UofT !

@bentlegen True true. I read the quote tweet as new user signups.

I sequenced my genome at home, on my kitchen table.

I wrote up exactly how I did it - the equipment, protocol, theory, and cost:

@juliarturc You can tell it's a) when the alignment has not yet occurred, or that it was consistently misaligned for a long time.

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

We're introducing Cursor Automations to build always-on agents.

[Phil Rees @prees11]

@odysseus0z @cursor_ai What's the thing, that does this, that cursor just shipped?

@paulg Excellent read, thank you. You often don't use slang. Do you see 'legit' as slang for 'legitimate', or a distinct meaning?
Here - 'Whereas nothing could be more legit than a gold watch'

@rauchg @aurorascharff Will bureaucracy and organizational resistance still not hinder many? (larger, more complex organizations)

[Phil Rees @prees11]

@paulg @Jason I follow the issue, of removing the point over removing words that aren't needed to communicate it. That said, wouldn't that be more concise. As the entire point is to always remove unnecessary words; the conditional is always true. Right, or wrong?

@_benjaminparry How about, dynamic scheduling. I believe right now they target their scheduled stop times, and if they are ahead of schedule will slow down. Given locations and timing is available in real time via app/sites - seems an antiquated solution to a non existent problem.
