  1. I think Medline as the online journal database is separate and different from Medline the business. I’m not 100% sure but looking at the websites they don’t seem to refer to each other.

    1. I hope so, but we better buy as many books as we can. Hard copies of everything.

      1. I agree! I recently bought a full set of 1960 (pre-history revision) Collier’s encyclopedia’s, and also a 29 volume set of older Science & Invention. I think everyone is too dependent on internet search for information, especially with editing and censorship of content ever increasing, and also the possibility of losing access. You can build your library pretty inexpensively right now, but I think good resources will start disappearing.

          I agree.

          Also, find some pre-WWII medical or herbal books.

        3. Internet Archive has many PDF scans of classic encyclopedias and dictionaries, which can be backed up to optical media like DVD or M-DISC archival DVD.

          e.g. a locally searchable (Windows only, can be used in a VM) version of the 1888 Oxford English Dictionary, 15,000 pages. The modern CD version costs $200 retail. https://archive.org/details/oed11_201407

          On iOS, there’s an electronic OED version that has 600K words, it’s difficult to find among similarly named apps, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shorter-oxford-english-dictionary/id679638443?mt=8

          1. You want paper. Just checked. Latest full edition of OED costs 1500

  3. Thank you so much for the work you do.

    Re: Blackrock’s ever expanding tentacles, they also recently threw their weight behind a San Francisco based investment firm which staged a coup on ExxonMobil’s board. I read they were able to replace 4 board members, but was only able to immediately identify 3 on Exxon’s website. The new members are a strange amalgamation of interests – indoor farming, wood pellets, twentieth century fox, a Maylasian automotive engineering/defense contractor/real estate developer way out of left field, and the President formerly worked with Hewlett-Packard. Exxon has been criticized for refusing to bow, even in empty publicity efforts, to the woke demand to commit to zero/neutral carbon emissions. Exxon is also the single largest natural gas provider in the country by a large margin and a major economic player of the Texas economy. Seems a take down is imminent.

  4. Can someone show the link to the study on mammals which were injected with spike proteins and then all died when reinjected with the covid virus. No luck with the search.
    Thanks!

    1. I have never seen a link but early in 2020 I saw a video where Fauchi and 2 others agreed all the ferrets had died when exposed to wild type “whatever” is out there.

  5. Yodlee (Envestnet) has “cross-wallet” visibility of millions of consumers. These aggregated data are sold to ML firms that translate & aggregate the bank transactions (linked to individuals) to produce visbility into consumer behavior (retail spending, category share of spend, spending by income bracket, etc.) to PE, VC, & retail brands. See Second Measure, recently acquired by Bloomberg, for one application of this sort of data set. Relatedly, mobile email apps, like Edison, read email receipts, translate and aggregate spending data for insight into consumer behaviors. Vizio sells TVs to consumers cheaply because they sell the viewer data out the back door to iSpot.TV, who then sell access to advertising impressions. Meanwhile, my father is denied access to data collected by his own pacemaker.

  7. From ‘They Live’ movie the most underrated scene is the fight to force Frank to put the glasses on. You only appreciate the scene after trying that yourself. It is a huge fight.
