This is not the proper way to discuss safety. Protocols and regulations are responsible, not just people and organizations. When aviation accidents happen, the broader goal of agencies such as the FAA/NTSB is to identify what to change, not who to blame.

The broader point of my discussion is that this could have happened to any biolab, and it is important to figure out what happened so that if it did come from this lab, the proper measures can be taken to make sure it doesn't happen again.

If you want to talk about China specifically, here is a key Nature article: https://www.nature.com/news/inside-the-chinese-lab-poised-to...

> But worries surround the Chinese lab, too. The SARS virus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times, notes Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey. Tim Trevan, founder of CHROME Biosafety and Biosecurity Consulting in Damascus, Maryland, says that an open culture is important to keeping BSL-4 labs safe, and he questions how easy this will be in China, where society emphasizes hierarchy. “Diversity of viewpoint, flat structures where everyone feels free to speak up and openness of information are important,” he says.

Also, biolab incidents are as much of a conspiracy theory as historical events.

The article I link itself mentioned the SARS outbreaks in Beijing, indicating a previous safety issue.

>> What I object to very strenuously is that the government should regulate my experiences in life and that I should be jailed for trying something new.

I'd agree with this if you also took care of all your healthcare personally. If the gov't is coming in and providing healthcare and services to the downtrodden, which it does especially for the homeless, then they should also work to prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place. And since there's a link between hard drug use and future homelessness, enforcement of hard drug use becomes part of the gov't charter. You shouldn't expect gov't services AND the freedom to destroy your life to then depend on gov't services.
Hard startup, huh?

Well, that's what I'm doing. I'm doing a SigInt startup to prevent PII breaches and things like this from happening: https://www.zdnet.com/article/hacked-tornado-sirens-taken-of...

I've got a lineup of hardware with specific industry use cases. Right now, I'm the designer, hardware engineer, software engineer, and more. And right now, Only have around $2k of my own money in it, with possibly more on its way from grants and funds. All equity is ours.
I’m the author of the original post. Re-reading it now nearly 14 years later is a bit embarrassing. I love where I ended up so it was all for the best that they didn’t offer me a job.

As akurilin stated, they had an immensely talented and very passionate group of gamers. I think everyone wants to work with folks that are passionate about their work and their field. It is a shame that WAR didn’t succeed as it was an ambitious vision. Many of the folks I interviewed with have gone on to end up elsewhere with successful careers—which I’m very glad to see.

I do wonder how Dan Luu came across my old blog post. I really enjoy his blog. Maybe I need to start blogging again.
There is still plenty of land to go around.

And of course, you ignore the cases where people bought land and the value dropped (e.g. Detroit).
A colleague of mine more than a decade ago started a company in the alternative energy space with very interesting yet extremely difficult and unproven technology. It took them a decade to find out that the performance of the technology was not quite good enough to be commercially successful.

He burned perhaps a third of his working life grinding away on something that won't succeed - perhaps at all. Yes, there is some chance of a base hit OEM deal for a very niche application of the technology. But it's definitely not making anyone rich after so many years.

Hard startups are exciting and fun, but unless you are already rich, it may not be worth the risk. Comparatively, you could spin up and fail five times at an "easy tech" startup and perhaps have a greater overall chance of winning the one time that you need to win to make it all worthwhile.
Globalization as made this less likely but most countries will now allow emergency imports if the situation gets critical.
FWIW there are some older universities in Hungary, for example the teachers' college in Eger has been continuously under one seal since 1774. There are some much older ones but they have periods of discontinuity which appears to be another flaw of this list.

I used a cooking pot to iron my shirts. There is still a reasonable sense in which one might say that cooking pots are not for ironing clothes. They were not designed with that consideration in mind. They're inferior to a proper iron. Getting it to work is a cumbersome process.
I would tend to agree. WSB is mostly about self deprecation, and occasional digs at "FIRE" types and people who are financially prudent.

It is a far cry from the many subreddits that actually preach hatred against an outgroup.

So Tailwind is basically a Bootstrap without the hard-coded default styles, and then you add the UI theme like this. Do you then just end up with a different looking Bootstrap, or it still has some other benefits?
While we certainly take a different perspective on sentimental items (preserving property is a big part of modern firefighting), getting to break shit is a big part of the "fun" of being a firefighter.

Getting to beat down a door, or take a chainsaw to someone's roof is definitely a good time. Even better is cutting apart a car with hydraulic tools.
You can't see how land becoming a liability rather than an asset because of the significant tax burden it would bear might have drastic effects on modern Western capitalism? Nor how the collective ownership of resources produced from mines, forests, rivers and oceans would significantly change it?
There are plenty of 'one-trick' players who can make it to extremely high elo even if they aren't particularly competitive. [0]There's a schoolteacher in Korea(?) who streams in a cow costume and plays only Master Yi, on the Korean server. He's Diamond.

And then there's players like BoxBox, who isn't exactly a one-trick, but clearly mains Riven. [1]He's at ladder rank 334 at the moment.

And as a final example, there's the monster himself, Apdo. [2]Apdo is a famous player in China who has on multiple occasions been rank 1 (or boosted people to rank 1...) using mostly Twisted Fate. He's more than talented enough to play any champion well, but is most known for TF. Similar to BoxBox and Riven, but on a whole different plane of skill.

All this is to say that there's no real need to change champions to continue climbing until you're at least above diamond, or if you want to play with a group where a synergistic team composition would be meaningful (like amateur tournaments).

You haven't explained why, you're just re-asserting what the comment you replied to was expecting you to explain.
When was this? Recently it's great for me - better than Chrome - with the exception that some extensions are Chrome-specific (meaning you have to repackage them for FF).
No, the article got it right. It's annoyingly common for people commenting on a subreddit to use a shortened name of the subreddit when discussing it. Since reddit will link you to anything starting with "r/", sometimes there's no subreddit there, sometimes mods will claim it just to be safe, and sometimes it's a cow. (r/cow = r/competitiveoverwatch)
You want to pitch to VCs who you can get to believe you're solving a real problem that exists (or will obviously exist) in the market, the solution to that problem that you're providing scales super-linearly when money is added to the pot (i.e. is a product, not a service), and that the actual market opportunity is huge in total Dollars.

It helps then if they're familiar-ish with the markets you're addressing so they'll be aware of some of the challenges and sizing considerations (we talked to many, many VCs who just had no idea how big markets were outside the ones they were familiar with, like the enormity of the "Operational Technology" market compared to the IT market), and also that you can clearly articulate what you're making is an actual repeatable product to sell.

The most important thing to remember is that VCs want to make money, your ideas are just a path to making money, so your #1 job is to show them how they're going to make lots of money, not show them how clever your ideas are.
Your ignoring total compensation as wages are only one part of it.

Total compensation at all income levels has vastly outstripped inflation over the past 50 years.
It's also true that "easy startups" can iterate into solving progressively harder problems.

The "hard" idea doesn't need to be the mission day one.
Amazon was just an online bookstore at one time.
I think the underlying motivation in this comment is that there are very many technical application development challenges which can be solved simply by web developers paying close attention to the fundamentals of their craft rather than relying on "fancy tricks" to speed up the development process. Plugins like Flash used to be one kind of "fancy trick" to offload into another layer, but there were many developers who stayed faithful to the process of working with everyday browser capabilities (and all of the politics that these capabilities entail), so that the wrinkles could eventually be ironed out. I think that so many who go the "Electron"-ic development route are afraid of getting their hands dirty with the question of in-browser client-side storage, ie, they want to be able to get their hands quickly on the files in the user's native file system.

There are, however, very stable in-browser ways of dealing with the question of client-side storage. IndexedDB is one. But there is another that I am quite partial to, called the File System API. I use it to locally store the files and code in the browser-based OS called Linux on the Web (https://dev.lotw.xyz/desk.os).
These days - and assuming you think the high salary trend will continue unabated for years to come - working at a big tech company will guarantee you a very comfortable lifestyle in perpetuity. No startup can offer the same risk/reward trade-off.

But if you do want to start a company and have a high chance of becoming modestly rich, there is no shame in working on a niche problem that doesn't require piles of capital. If you grind away long enough, you can have a slowly growing, profitable business that makes you very comfortable.
> Take a look at the extended license, which you'll be needing in many cases. $999 vs $28, for a single site license. No thank you.

I don't think the license is worded very well. If you read it as "end user" being a visitor of your site then pretty much every theme on themeforest would cost $999 but that's not the case.

I think what the license means is if you're bundling the theme in with a product you plan to sell and distribute then you need an extended license, unless it happens to be for freelance work in which case a regular ($28) license is fine (the "note to freelancers" clause handles that). If you have a free or paid SAAS app or something like then you can use a regular license too because you're not distributing the theme as a paid product.

I've talked to the author of the theme directly and mentioned using it for a course platform I'm building (end users of the site would be paying for individual courses). He didn't mention needing an extended license for that. He even went as far as giving me permission to release the course platform as open source with his theme included[0].

[0]: What I wrote isn't official for saying you can do the same. I recommend contacting the author directly if you have intent to do that.
Tailwind user here. :)

One of the biggest benefits in my opinion is, to communicate the different utility classes to your UI/UX person. By restricting him/her to discrete values for margin, padding, colors, etc. they will not go overboard with there designs and also make the handoff way easier. If you use zeplin for example you can for example define color names in the sketch file and zeplin will show them in their UI. You just click on a text and see "ahh she used text-gray-500".

Much less friction in the workflow.

As for the concerns about messy markup mentioned in some other reply. True that can happen sometimes, but if you use React or Vue, you can encapsulate a lot in components. The markup in the components high up in the tree will look basically the same. And the leaf components should be quite small anyways.

Another really nice benefit to the old way is that you don't have to worry about breaking stuff. When you change bg-gray-200 to bg-gray-300 you can be sure that it only affects the element you have in front of you.

But in the end I think people have to try it out to be able to judge Tailwind.
Also, wasn't the THC illness related to a specific type of vape pen sold in the dark market? They called them "Dank Vapes" and I believe they were being promoted in some sketchy Instagram accounts.

Possibly. Certainly any traditional deep-fried seafood platter is no cheaper than it was.

But tastes have also changed. Although I'm sure they had other things, the traditional Boston seafood restaurants tended to be built around a lot of deep-fried fish (or boiled lobster). There's also been a lot of development in the area where most of them were.

Legal's is certainly still around with a generally less heavy hand in terms of prep. And, in general, there are tons of newer seafood restaurants that are mostly in a somewhat different vein than the traditional ones.
> html and css are standards, if you are developing for a version, you are wrong. full stop.

Who said anything about HTML and CSS?

Apps like VS Code create and manipulate a DOM directly in JS, or more often these days, WASM. To these apps, Electron is just a virtual machine with a lot of browser-like multimedia APIs attached. You pin the exact version of the renderer just like you pin the exact version of your dependencies in a server-side app, or the exact version of the OS in a virtual-appliance VM image.

Electron has nothing to do with "the web" or "web standards" other than borrowing technologies originally developed for those. Electron competes with things like Unity and https://love2d.org/, not with browsers. It's in a category of frameworks with the goal of giving the developer pixel-perfect control over what the user sees, where apps are separately developed, tested, and tweaked, for each target (e.g. each OS, each kind of display/interaction methodology, etc.)

With this category of framework, you don't build your app as generic code targeting a standard; rather, you build, and test, your product against a specific "engine." (Imagine for a moment that people could take Unity apps and run them against any old version of the Unity engine, or even against Amazon's Lumberyard fork of the same. Would anything work?)
And what use is of mask with a valve for a sick person? They are already sick and valve will let contaminated air straight out? Can healthy people at least buy these?

I think that not recommending masks for everyone is very myopic considering that the virus tends to spread asymptotically.
Much of the world isn't actually under control of a government. Here in the developed world, we've basically bought into the nation-state system, with a strong central government controlling a defined territory with border checkpoints. But many parts of central Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and rural areas in other continents aren't like this. The dominant social organization is by tribe, clan, cartel, gang, or warlord; borders are porous or nonexistent; and the government has no authority, not even a monopoly on physical force.

The virus doesn't care whether you believe in governments, and it's just now hitting these regions - Pakistan, Africa, North Korea, etc.

OP went on to medical school after finishing that grad degree. We know a lot more about molecular biology. That we clump stuff under the header of "inflammation" is a categorization/naming issue, not a biology issue :)
Animal clones can live as long as the parent, but there are many issues with birth defects and elevated mortality. The early clones were the results of many hundreds of attempts, and for completely unknown reasons, primates have proven much more difficult than sheep and cows.

Even ignoring the ethical concern around cloning itself, putting a potential mother through this and producing a child at high risk of serious developmental problems seems extremely problematic ethically.
They are variables in that they're specified in your Tailwind configuration file, which is what generates the utility classes that are generated. If you really wanted to you, you can extract it out as a variable if you wanted to use that color elsewhere, such as part of a box-shadow or background color or something like that.

.custom-bg-color {
background-color: theme('colors.gray.500');
}
If you land on nothing, you have a large amount of cash compared to other players which you can leverage for negotiation.

The game isn't just who can get a monopoly first, but who can also improve it the fastest. In my experience, players often overvalue the expensive properties due to maximum rent but don't take into account the capital and therefore time required to improve them.
I don't know if I agree with you there. A lot of AI work is around taking data and finding relationships between them. A current-gen AI might not understand what red is, for example, but it has no problem grouping red, blue, and green in to the the same cloud then mapping the relationships to objects that can be those colours.

Personall it feels like the current limit on the way to an AI that can take unknown information and turn it in to a pattern matching system is how much data it can fit in it's matrix at once.

If I remember correctly (and my info isn't out of date, it's hard to google) entity matching in photos is usually done internally with very low resolution files like 320x320 and lower. It's no wonder that it could easily mistake static for a robin. Take the right person's glasses off and you'll be lucky if they can tell you it's a bird.
I like the section on the CEO: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ceo/#flaws
I mean, it's an airline. While the CEO might lose his bonus, it's unlikely for a bit of short selling to drive the airline out of business (and so for people to lose their jobs), so I don't think this is really a moral issue. Also, this is exactly a price discovery mechanism - the airline isn't going to be as profitable so it isn't as valuable!

You are correct the IRS doesn't but the US government does. This would fall under suspicious activity.

"Under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), financial institutions are required to assist U.S. government agencies in detecting and preventing money laundering, such as:

Keep records of cash purchases of negotiable instruments,
File reports of cash transactions exceeding $10,000 (daily aggregate amount), and
Report suspicious activity that might signal criminal activity (e.g., money laundering, tax evasion)"
It's crazy. I always speak out about the wars, that's the single most important issue of our day. The government is literally killing people overseas, spending literal trillions of dollars. You would think it's something we can all agree on, but people treat you like a literal crackpot.
And Google, too, uses the same strategy against Firefox users on Google-owned sites.
IMHO search & replace would be the way to go here. Otherwise no one will understand it later on.
