Eerily prescient subheading from @amcafee in his excellent book from 2019 “More From Less” #MorefromLess @erikbryn

[VoraciousReading @VoraciousReadi1]

Fantastic read. Highly recommend. @amcafee do I have it right that NO ONE — not a single person out of ~8bn — took you up on any of your Long Bets wagers?!? @erikbryn

@EricTopol Positivity rate in Tokyo is 40%. The case numbers are far higher than what the data show as so few tests being performed (about 100,000 tests per day on a population over 125 million)

@EricTopol Are there data on boosters and myocarditis/pericarditis for 12-39 age group?

[VoraciousReading @VoraciousReadi1]

@stratechery @benthompson You say Apple makes $5bn a year from advertising. Yet, when one considers the $15bn TAC Apple receive from Google, shouldn’t we think of Apple as running a $20bn advertising business?

@EricTopol @substack Excellent! Thank you. Some countries (eg, Singapore) now require a booster for ages 12+ to be considered “fully vaxxed”. Your article mentions “ages 16 or 18+”. Do you support boosters for ages 12 to 15?

[VoraciousReading @VoraciousReadi1]

@EricTopol @nytimes @CDCMMWR Singapore now says get a booster within 9 months of your second shot, or you are no longer considered ‘fully vaccinated’

[VoraciousReading @VoraciousReadi1]

@EricTopol Japan has provided boosters to only 0.8% of its population

[VoraciousReading @VoraciousReadi1]

@EricTopol @OurWorldInData Japan’s Omicron wave has started with cases doubling every few days. Most Japanese are more than 6 months out from their second dose. And, the boosters have yet to be broadly rolled out. Add that to one of the world’s most aged societies

@EricTopol @MedCellPress @EricTopol A result of 28 day spacing between doses for Moderna vs 21 days for Pfizer?

@jeffiel made a significant contribution with his new book #AskYourDeveloper. First software, then SaaS. What’s next? APIs. Great insights on AWS, too. Oh, and the first person to explain DevOps in plain English! Thank you @erikbryn @amcafee

@amcafee @nytimes Pop quiz: on which book’s front cover does Will Shortz give an endorsement? @amcafee

[VoraciousReading @VoraciousReadi1]

Gotta love Will Shortz!

The Second Machine Age comes to the @nytimes crossword, supplying an answer that starts with a “q” NOT followed by a “u.” See 36 down

Yuval Harai worried about “algorithms that know us better than we know ourselves”. After 4 years of development, our algorithms still can’t figure out a presidential election with any accuracy! @harari_yuval @jasonzweigwsj @profgalloway @erikbryn @amcafee #generalelection2020
