The grasshoppers self-activate as locusts under crowded conditions. Once they enter the swarming phase, the behaviour is self-perpetuating, generally until foid supplies are exhausted. With high mobility, this can take time and strip tremendous areas of land.

By stocking a sufficient population early on, in sufficient confinement,, it might be possible to create a perpetuating, expanding, swarm.
Your argument would be similar to the following.

1) Some people don't vaccinate because they have to eat first.

2) Because eating is more important than vaccinations, it would be inhumane to make vaccinations mandatory.

3) Ergo, you cannot make vaccinations mandatory until you solve world hunger.

At that point why do anything at all? Decision paralysis makes things impossible to solve because this arbitrary person I made up doesn't have time for anything so you have to solve this completely irrelevant issue in order to free up time first so that they can then get to the point of order.

Do you own a truck? What do you use it for and how would the Cybertruck provide an improvement?

I wouldn't characterize Tesla's other cars as "conservative" in the slightest. "Conservative" makes me think of Volvo or Lexus. The Model S is absolutely gorgeous and if any car aficionado saw it, he would say, "that is an absolutely gorgeous car". It literally looks like a better Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Porsche. The Cybertruck provokes reactions somewhere on a spectrum between "what the fuck is that?" and "hmm, that's interesting". Which is roughly the same design space that the Pontiac Aztek, Chrysler PT Cruiser, and BMW i-Series inhabit. It's not fertile ground.

My psychologist once thought I might be on the spectrum, but IDK. I do have a few symptoms including difficulty communicating, but I plan so heavily for every situation that others hardly notice.
I understand that. However my comment was just a statement that the existence the person above me was implying was useful existence. As in we can all be excited about this new tool, or game, or whatever, but if we never get to use it, its usefulness is moot. So while the language certainly exists we can observe him working on it, and he could even create a game using it that would have some societal impact, the current usefulness of the language to anyone except him is as if it did not exist at all.

Of course you could make the argument that its mere existence and him highlighting certain aspects could have influences on other language designers... and wow am I going down a tangent spiral now...

I agree that stereotyping older people is ageism and should not be tolerated.

However, specifically with regard to age limits, it's interesting to note that the law which prohibits age discrimination in the US also explicitly allows for mandatory retirement for "bona fide executives or high policymakers" who are age 65 or older [1]. In addition, many areas of the government such as the military and State Department have mandatory retirement ages. So one would naively expect our elected officials to fully support a similar policy being applied to them!

I will be curious what kinds of bugs blocking said requests flushes out of various applications. I expect some applications will be built robustly and gracefully accept that adserver.trackallusers.com has suddenly ceased to exist forever, and continue to do what the user expects them to do. But, I will not be surprised if other applications turn out to crash, turn into security vulnerabilities, or throw up annoying popups that say something like, "We use advertisements to pay for this awesome free service we give you. :( Please unblock evil-cabal.org. An assassin has been dispatched to ensure your compliance." Okay, maybe I'm not expecting that last one quite so much, but crashes and breakages are totally plausible, IMO.

That obviously varies a lot. When I am actually spontaneous, bad things happen. I am able to improvise on top of a plan, but winging it is not an option.

"One day when I was having lunch with Richard Feynman, I mentioned to him that I was planning to start a company to build a parallel computer with a million processors. His reaction was unequivocal, "That is positively the dopiest idea I ever heard." For Richard a crazy idea was an opportunity to either prove it wrong or prove it right. Either way, he was interested. By the end of lunch he had agreed to spend the summer working at the company."

i never said i prioritize the only great idea for a startup that i have ever had above my job search. obviously, since i have been sitting on the idea for 8 years and only half-heartedly tinkering with building it, "making some money now" is what i have been doing instead. all i said was that it was an idea for a dream of mine that i've had for a very long time. isn't this a forum dedicated to startup dreamers--"the crazy ones... the round pegs in the square holes"? i only mentioned that i had a startup idea to show that "hey gang, i'm one of you too."
Why do people use non-standard ports for public internet-facing services?

To me it just smells of "we don't have enough public IP's, and still manage our network with port-forwarding rather than a proper application level loadbalancer".

That matches my observations that 'ancilery'services frequently seem to be on non-standard ports - like the employee login portal, the company webchat service, the analytics service, etc.
I really dread the future of computing where every application is a website, and the supercomputer sitting under my desk becomes useless whenever the internet goes down.

I think the problem is rather that they destroy crops than insurance; farmers probably can't grow crops in time before another swarm destroy them.

As for stopping them, I would try covering a wide enough area with a giant electric net (just like those insects killers) also placing additional screening nets on the upper and lower side so that the screens would keep birds away, and the actual electric net would have its holes large enough so that smaller insects would remain mostly untouched. The idea is that if they're stupid enough, they will eat all crops in vicinity then eventually die attempting to attack the only remaining field.

Nobody is arguing that there shouldn't be IdP-based WireGuard management systems. The point is that they are out of scope for the WireGuard project itself. WireGuard has an extremely straightforward configuration interface; if Okta wanted to manage WireGuard, they'd likely have no problem doing it.
Yeah, this is why I hesitated to use that example. I get that the filing gaps in DNA and parthenogenesis aspects cloud the analogy.

>"What if a mutation happened that completely negated the limiting effect of the genetic modifications that have been done."

I wasn't suggesting mutation or evolution or inserted genes. I'm suggesting unintentional selection for a trait already present in the wild gene pool.

Combined with the bottleneck intentionally created by the experiment, it could lead to the artificial magnification of a trait
(amongst the surviving population) that's the opposite of what the experiment is trying to accomplish. It also makes it likely, not unlikely. The question will be what traits end up being selected for, and how drastically they will affect the genetic fitness of the gene pool.

Similar to how antibiotic resistance emerges without ever inserting any specific genetics. Obviously without the benefit of horizontal exchange, but perhaps with other methods of genetic exchange... As the mosquito experiments seem to prove so far, with "infertile" males leaving remnants of their DNA in the surviving population. Which, being bred and distributed, is a different type of horizontal exchange, I suppose.

Sidenote: While I wasn't initially including parthenogenic reproduction in my thoughts above, maybe I should have. Recent studies support the parthenogenic reproduction in a surprising number of zw species, including Komodo dragons, mourning geckos, whiptail lizards, some birds, snakes, and... moths. It's pretty fascinating, and more proof that Crichton knew what he was talking about, even if he didn't always fully grasp it.

There are 23 genome publicly available, And it’s closely identifies with existing coronavirus from bats and are further away from SARS. I am not a biologist, tell me should I trust the existing science or your story? It was said that the virus might not have originated from the market itself, people who actually raised or caught these wild animals might have gotten it first. But to make a jump from that to the biolab is exactly like how the US flag looked like wind blew on it and we never went to the moon.

I’ll believe it when NIH or CDC publish corroborating evidence.
I haven't worked on large gaming projects, but I've worked on large CG feature films. I was a little horrified about how aggressively they adopted some technologies. The theory was that Pixar proved a lot of their technologies in their short films (Disney a bit of that, too, in previous years). The studio I was at didn't do that and both Disney and Pixar seem to have moved away from that at least a decade ago. Very very rarely, they'd repurpose old projects or chose a sequence or specific department for releasing something--that often was a mess (resources spent at the "boundaries" instead of shoring up the new tech).

I imagine AAA games are similar. You have 4 years and ship one monolithic game. Maybe you could prove out this idea in a small area like artist's tools or an engine fork (similar to the approaches above). Trying to incrementally adopt something would take 2 or 4 games (10+ years) and I just don't see technology roadmaps like that. Especially if it's not a huge win.
Interesting! Where is the physical location? I had the same idea last year after seeing mirror.co. And I did some market research. The market for gym equipment and personal trainer seems to be small.
Probably. I vouched for the comment.
> While you're groking how a multihreadig library is expected to be used, I already fired a message broker that distributes tasks across a pool of worker instances. Why? Because I've opted not to go with the monolith and went with the microservices/distributed architecture approach.

I'm so confused by that statement... because I can't for the life of me figure out how you got there.

You absolutely can have a monolith which is multi-threaded or asynchronous and "resource/task pools." The JVM for instance has threads, I use BEAM (Elixir) personally, and it's even pre-emptively scheduling my tasks in parallel and asynchronously... but, I still don't get what multi-threading has to do with microservices.

Microservices and monoliths are boundaries for your application they aren't implementation details (i.e. all microservices must be asynchronous is strictly not true) in and of themselves, they're design details. That design can influence the implementation but they are separate.

Ex. there are plenty of people who use Sidekiq and redis like you're using Celery but don't call it a microservice. It's just a piece of their monolith since it's largely the same depdencies.
If you have so little skin in the game that you can maintain that attitude, you should probably stay out of the discussion.

I think to most reasonable readers of your text, the "it" that you reference multiple times isn't particularly clear (do you mean: it = the trend, it = the project, it = the maintainers?), and also you literally said it "shows a kind of naivete."

Shows naivete on the part of what/who? Surely a trend cannot be naive on its own, so any reasonable reading of this sentence means that you are calling the project and/or maintainer naive. How is that not (a mild form of) ridicule?
Large (but <100) evalues are sometimes considered as weak evidence of some evolutionary process if you are querying against a huge database with closely related sequences. However, given the length of their first 2 hits I'd tend to think this is by random chance. The last 2 are more interesting.

And the fact that there's no known CoV with any of these inserts is quite intriguing.

As a person who has first-hand knowledge of the matter, managing a team member tasked with the development of an iOS XMPP app (which is supposed to be NOT complete and utter shit), I tell you that creation of such app is impossible without reinvention of half of XMPP stack (basically every part that touches client-server interaction). Thankfully, s2s works rather fine in XMPP.

Things Japanese people say about English
From the article:

>Now the supervisor of the policewoman who had conducted the questioning wrote her an email telling her to rewrite the statement from S. W.

>On the basis of the revised statement from S.W., an appeal was filed against the public prosecutor’s attempt to suspend the investigation, and on Sept. 2, 2010, the rape proceedings were resumed. A legal representative by the name of Claes Borgström was appointed to the two women at public cost. The man was a law firm partner to the previous justice minister, Thomas Bodström, under whose supervision Swedish security personnel had seized two men who the U.S. found suspicious in the middle of Stockholm. The men were seized without any kind of legal proceedings and then handed over to the CIA, who proceeded to torture them.
