So... a dehumidifier with a solar panel?

I would appreciate more information on how the various kinds of vaccines impact chances of getting a cytokine storm.
I think it might still be too soon to tell with vaccines. A lot of information from last year regarding effective treatment by using monoclonal antibodies to help combat patients actively experiencing a cytokine storm though.
Production scale Level 5, full autonomous is still many years away. Most people will be happy with Level 3/4 regardless, and those are still better/safer than most of the distracted drivers on the road today.
NASA has a collection of scientists that believe a range of things about the climate. I watched a good video by JPL back in April discussing how lacking our models are of clouds and cloud cover and their influence on climate: https://youtu.be/ra9AFNco3lI
Solar cycles indirectly affect cloud cover not by variations in irradiance but by increases in cosmic rays from reduction in solar magnetic shield.
Some call this the Svensmark effect, after the Danish scientist who proved this influence in cloud chamber experiment from 2017 (https://www.thegwpf.org/content/uploads/2019/03/SvensmarkSol...)
Finally, even the IPCC has acknowledged this and are in the process of altering their CMIP model for 2021, CMIP6, to include stronger solar forcing: https://www.geosci-model-dev.net/10/2247/2017/
Climate science is not settled.
Genuinely curious why your posts are being downvoted?

Change the display size and also decrease font size far smaller than iPhone allows.
This is inflammatory and snarky and exaggerated ("China has been at war with us") enough to count as nationalistic flamebait. As I said above, we don't want that here. Please make your substantive points without it.
You've pinned a comment at the top arguing against "nationalistic flamewar" type comments. Fair enough, however your own moderating choices seem to paint you as biased in this regard. Why is there an implied double standard for those who post vs. those who moderate/admin?
It's not like it's hard to see either, there's routinely news of Chinese scientists and engineers caught with some kind of industrial secret stolen from their employer trying to go back to China in a hurry. Every time it's mentioned people on HN react like some grand conspiracy theory was unveiled while it takes 15 seconds on google to find examples like:

or

it's pervasive and it's stupid to think it will stop on its own. China has been at war with us for quite a while, we just failed to recognize it because it is convenient for many not to do so, but we should behave accordingly.
Edit: since my comment was called "inflammatory and nationalistic" I'm going to add a link to a book that explains the war ongoing between China and the US, from an author that's very much not either of those things:
https://www.amazon.com/Cool-War-United-States-Competition/dp...
In an April speech in New York, FBI director Christopher Wray described the reason for the scrutiny of ethnic Chinese scientists. “China has pioneered a societal approach to stealing innovation in any way it can from a wide array of businesses, universities and organisations,” he told the Council on Foreign Relations. Everyone’s in on it, Wray said: China’s intelligence services; its state-owned and what he called “ostensibly” private enterprises; and the 130,000 Chinese graduate students and researchers who work and study in the US every year. “Put plainly, China seems determined to steal its way up the economic ladder at our expense.”
This has been going since long before the Trump administration, probably all the way back to the Clinton one.
China needs to adjust their official target of 6-6.5% GDP growth per year - it is completely unsustainable and has caused far too many risks to be taken in order to maintain it.
Unless they want the bubble to pop? I can't imagine the social upheaval it would cause there (and throughout the rest of the world)
Too many candidates on stage. Each of those candidates is prepped to only drop soundbites... best soundbite of the night wins the "debate".
