It was entirely illegal and remains so. It is a huge enforcement issue, and hopefully this encourages the Chinese Gov't to crack down on these wildlife markets, but it didn't happen after SARS-CoV-1 (which IIRC also came out of a wildlife meat market in China) so I don't hold out a lot of hope.

As you can see now, it doesn't. Neither does any other government.
>> Everyone gets their flu shot, right?

No, and that's ok. There is a lot of stuff written - even in science papers - that indicate differing things about those vaccines effectiveness.

There is no universal "right" answer to your question. I'm assuming you thought it was rhetorical.
No unless you're at risk (old person or with medical issues) you usually don't get the flu shot. The reason is to actually to build the so-called "herd immunity" I think. Same thing with antibiotics (no need to give evolutionary "ammunition" to virus and bacteria if we don't need to).
Why the outrage? It's sometimes worth replaying a session to gauge your prospect's behavior and figuring out how to convert them.

A closer look at one of the Covid vaccine candidates
"The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb. The possibility of the reemergence of SARS and other novel viruses from animals or laboratories and therefore the need for preparedness should not be ignored."

Well it says related viruses... so I'm not sure there has to be a connection between Pangolins and the market directly. Although that's probabbly a good route to investigate.

In this case there's a lot of evidence at least the language designers were paying attention to (Dr.) Barbara Liskov's published academic work over the decades, even if academic papers/languages rarely make it into mainstream consciousness. At a brief glance it looks like an Erdos number game of a sort, in that CLU papers were referenced a lot by other articles, then those articles were referenced by a lot more. There is probably a lot of one or two degree separation.

One specific dot this article helped me connect (thanks article) was that Barbara Liskov of CLU is the same namesake of Liskov's Substitution Principle, which definitely has made broader waves in mainstream OOP consciousness among programmers. It originated in a paper two decades after a lot of the CLU work so it isn't directly a part of CLU's own influence on the world, but it is quite probable that CLU's influence is deep inside the formation/elucidation of the Principle in that Barbara Liskov was clearly thinking about the problem area for decades, and in some cases decades ahead of colleagues and practical applications.
>> I too have a far more severe reaction every time I get a flu shot than I've ever had from actual flu.

Then why bother?
This would be more true if sites like GitHub would allow uploading and embedding of MP4 files where they allow GIFs. But that's not usually the case unless you go through something Gyfy first.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not ruling out that reactions to flu shots can be more severe than actual (mild) infections.

It just strikes me as unlikely. It's more likely that people don't understand the difference between a flu and a cold.

That's why I'm asking for clarification.

It's not even close to what we saw just this week from coronavirus. Stop making a comparison where there isn't one to be made, this is much worse than the flu.
This article actually says nothing new. It does not draw a direct Covid-19 evolution path from pangolins to humans. That pangolins and bats carry coronaviruses is well known. That these viruses are related is well known, but it's still not clear that pangolins are the source for Covid-19. Very misleading headline on no new information.
MOV and MP4 are container formats, so MOV can be smaller than MP4 depending on the video formats used.

> Have you attempted to integrate these costs over time when there isn’t a pandemic going on, and made any attempt to determine the net effect?

No, I didn't. I'd actually like to - because it isn't obvious to me that the result would come in favor of minimizing the buffers. Consider that buffers in the supply chain only cost as much as the storage costs. Which may run well into billions over time, sure. But this pandemic has already erased trillions of dollars in the last three weeks, and it isn't showing any sign of stopping any time soon.

I recently upgraded my internet speed and my pfSense box was limiting my top download speed. So, I just went from pfSense to a Ubiquiti Secure Gateway. There are pros and cons of each, but I couldn't find any trustworthy pfSense hardware with the performance of a USG for anywhere near the same price. I do miss the configurability of pfSense though so I might switch back some day. That said, the ubiquiti interface and provisioning model is really slick.

the original post contained a small disclaimer that annoying, low effort questions do exist (with a strategy for dealing with them), followed by several examples of questions that are important to answer promptly. I even said most of the questions my coworkers ask are in this category, and I mentioned it again in the followup response. the main thrust of the post is to get people to consider how allowing themselves to be distracted by high-quality questions is worth the hit to their individual productivity. I really don't see how you can read all this negativity into my posts without totally ignoring the overall context.

I will double down on my point that you don't have to prioritize questions that cost more time than they save. if I spend more time helping you than it would have taken you to figure it out yourself, this hurts the overall productivity of the team.

Since we already know the virus shared up to 96% of the same DNA as horseshoe bat virus collected by Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2003 from a cave 600 miles away ... why are researchers still agonizing over all these alternative theories? The only place near Wuhan the virus existed prior to the outbreak was at the institute of virology. And the first places the outbreak occurred were in the immediate neighborhood of the institute. I'm really genuinely curious why bigtime news outlets keep talking about Vietnamese pangolins.

F*ck this landlord.

If the renters have signed a contract, these quick evictions are not legal. Also, good luck trying to get a ER Nurse evicted from a residence during a pan-epidemic. If the ER Nurse at the beginning of the article wants to shutdown that eviction, just put the landlords name on the Internet and let the Internet take care of it.
So, legitimately, how to we make it so the government does have repercussions? I see a lot of people making jokes about guillotines and nooses, but is there no better way?
They know internally from the real status dashboards & real monitoring.

I think the issue is that this status page is maintained by hand, by humans, and updating it likely requires lots of communication and sign-off approvals, and trying to get numbers to decide whether an outage is big or only impacting a tiny fraction of users. Otherwise it'd probably always be red.
Why would install/use wine for screen capture when you have several native tools doing the job ?
No, that is not the primary purpose of libc. The primary purpose of libc is to run programs that the user wants to run, and removing random things make that harder. Whether the standard allows something is irrelevant: what matters is whether any given change is good for the user.

Because they are professionals, and your new look or whatever else has nothing to do with the job that needs to be done.

It's less the species than the wet markets.

The most difficult thing will be getting your math up to speed so you really need to dual track the physics and math.

> they don't mind suffering things that are unacceptable for us

When the ruling class exploits the working class and suppresses their access to information and free speech, that doesn't mean they "don't mind suffering," it means one sector of the Chinese population has cannibalized another sector in order to build wealth for themselves. Much like what is happening in the US with the ultra-wealthy. It's not all rainbows and roses in China, in fact if you forgot, there is an active genocide in progress in that country.

The government is passing relief package of 18,000 dollars for every citizen of the USA. That's more than enough money to tide things over if it's distributed well, in a way that incentivizes the right things.

Unforunately, a very small portion of that money will go to individuals who have lost their jobs, and a very large portion will go to companies that were run on razor-thin balance sheets, ready to topple at the first sign of trouble. No incentives to run things properly the next time around, and limited help for regular people. While costing everyone a fortune in the form of inflation the next few years.

You're arguing against something I never said.

Yes, this file, completely in isolation, has no problem.

But people want to different pieces of python code together. If one or the other only works with a specific version, it becomes a problem when you try to combine them.

Therefore, best practice is to get everyone on the same version. We want to stop having to ask which version everything is, and facing the disappointment when things can't go in the same program. We want to get back to the situation where it's just 'hammer', and that's good enough for 95% of people.
