I hate to say it, but I was never a big fan of Ethiopian food, even well before the virus situation. All my friends reaching in, grabbing, and getting their fingers in the communal bread/stew was a real turnoff. Flavors were not that different from other spicy types of food, and it really was the fingers-in-bowls thing that I could never get over.

ps. I know there are ways of individually serving it.
I got to be witness to the Dots & Boxes challenge in the mid-90s. He was less sure, only one of us got to play him.

I later put several hours in and figured out the guaranteed win and why it was so hard to find. But have since forgotten it.
If animals to human transmission can happen in a wildlife market, then it can also happen unintentionally in a virology lab researching very same family of virus. In the absence of substantial evidence, both theories are equally plausible to me.

If you're willing to try again, I'd love to see that benchmark. JRuby almost always beats MRI on computation heavy benchmarks oh, and we have continued to get faster over the years. I would be very surprised if a string heavy benchmark wasn't faster on JRuby without too much warm up.

I don’t buy this. Why would governments pay people to shitpost on Reddit when so many of us gladly do it for free?
"So...evidence?"

All people are saying is that there's a reasonable hypothesis that this thing came out of that laboratory. There's enough circumstantial evidence to support that theory even if it's not a leading theory.
It wasn't a paper. It was a social media post that people mistook for a paper.

On 1/22, Xi jinping and CCP blocked internal transportation such as railways, subways, ferries, trains and domestic flights in and out of Wuhan. But still let international flights in and out of Wuhan. If the coronavirus wasn’t weaponized with that intent I don’t know what is.

> We're moving back to a hosting model where you can not completely rely on any hosting company to get the job done.

That's become my mantra about anonymization: that you can't trust any one system/provider, so it's prudent to distribute trust. Basically, what Chaum said, so many years ago.

But that's harder with hosting. Sure, if you lease a domain, you can easily point to different IPs. But then, what happens if you lose the domain?

And for people who don't lease domains, how will your followers find your other sites? Once the one they were hitting is gone, I mean. Some will bookmark all of them, for sure. But not most, I bet. Search services would help, but I suspect that'd be iffy.
Venting heat _into the ground_ is not even remotely an efficient process, unless you have no other option.
I think you are missing the point of the Left - that owners of capital tend to put up fences, set guards so that other people cannot fish in "their" water.

And additionally knowing how to fish is SOL when we over fish our resources because market signals are ineffective at large scale directed action.

And I get itchy each time someone says if only we were all free it would be such a better world because soon someone says I shall make them free.

There's an NPR podcast (I will try to recall a link) on how the local town / county government was willingly duped into being the gullible country folk who would agree to give Foxconn such huge subsidies for the promise of jobs. And how some more cautious citizens really fought against the secrecy being applied to the whole deal by the town council.

Sometimes you have to have the self-awareness to ask yourself,
here I am, a country-simple and inexperienced elected official, who's being presented with a huge fantasy of a deal (well beyond my order of magnitude experience), and being asked to keep this secret from the press and constituents.

Is it likely that I'm such a good negotiator and master of finances and state incentives and my town is so special, that the huge company I'm dealing with (with dozens of analysts) is asking me to keep it secret because they're afraid of how they're getting screwed? Or maybe the other way around?

Those town council members and mayor got taken for the ride of their lives by their gullibility and desire for national politicians to chalk up a headline, which of course, never materialized.

Edit: oh, I see someone has just posted the Reply-

Most bat consumption in China happens in the South, along with the population in general. The odds of a zoonotic event occuring in Wuhan of all places and within a block of one of the few labs known to have been activity hunting for a virus just like this is too much of a coincidence.

Those are the authors who entirely withdrew this "paper."

https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/04/01/covid-19-bioweapon/

Snopes reports that it contained numerous errors, and the authors themselves have said they had no direct evidence for their claims. (Note that it was never peer-reviewed or even accepted for publication anywhere. They just pasted it up on a social media site.)
How about the other way around, e.g. importing stuff like NumPy and SciPy or PyTorch from Nim? Is that possible?

Umm, they were also combining viruses to create "chimeras". Now, this combinational process could be genetic engineering (which has been ruled out I think) or just combining in a petri dish, which I find compelling.
Your prior is also exactly what you're trying to calculate, though. I don't think you can just try different numbers picked from a hat for that value.

Also, it isn't accounting for lots of other highly relevant, potentially confounding variables.

And those assumptions make no sense to me at all. Can you write them out much more explicitly?

I think it's totally plausible it was a lab escape, but this analysis seems extremely oversimplified and naive, and I'd even say a misuse and abuse of Bayes' theorem. A full Bayesian analysis is a good idea, though. I'd like to see a much more robust and detailed one from someone.
You don't need to eat bats for them to be a problem. The virus could have jumped via some intermediate host.

Some folks used to be skeptical wrt. the market being a source, because it was officially described as a fish/seafood market and fish are not a very plausible reservoir for this virus. However it's clear by now that all kinds of live animals were sold there, similar to other "wet" markets throughout Mainland China.
California can require the company to pay the all or the majority of fees for arbitration, and this has been used by large groups of individuals to band together and arbitrate at the same time, costing great deals of money and burden to a company, forcing them to settle.

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/uber-sees-w...

The 60k arbitration claims could of cost $75m in fees alone, not to mention it can be 9k/day to pay the arbitrators themselves. So they settled for $146m.

There are a few other cases of this, and I am sure there will be more collective action through mass arbitration. I imagine eventually it will come to being abused as well.
well, that's a meaningless statement if i've ever heard one.

That sounds like a lot of effort and money that will have to go into developing and enforcing that. Also it's more "nannying" than just giving people enough more to live on, and then it's up to them how they use it.

I'm annoyed with the connection between SARS-CoV-2 and bioweapon. This is such a garbage bioweapon for two reasons: This doesn't kill military aged men and it cannot be readily shut off. American scientists have nailed down when the cross over event occurred and how it happened. The world's top virologists also have said multiple times that this is not a bioweapon, people who have studied viruses for decades. But people who aren't even in the medical field keep peddling the narrative that this is a bioweapon. Amazing.

Here's the list of agents that are better than SARS:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioterrorism#Types_of_agents

Edit:

So far I'm dissapointed with the comments to my post. I can't tell if some of these are trolls or not, but generally they don't add much to the discussion.

These hypotheticals are specious, sure they sound like lucid idea but with even a slight amount of criticism they'd fall apart. I'm going to posit some ideas here. Why didn't China weaponize H5N1? It has a higher Ro and CFR. It is commonly found throughout Southeast Asia and is what most pandemic experts thought was going to be the next pandemic. How would a virus get through a biosafety level 4 lab? If anyone else here has experience in biosafety labs I'm all ears, but I'd be shocked that a virus would be able to escape from something like that; not that mistakes don't happen but this isn't exactly a durable pathogen. Then we have the issue of every single advanced military in the world wouldn't even touch The Coronavirus family. I'm going to go ahead and assume that the people who are making bioweapons are good at their jobs and can recognize what makes a good bioweapon and what doesn't. Finally, there are just so many better options for bioweapons. The US invests massive amounts in making precision weapons because when you're a military power hitting a precise location is what's key. COVID is like a cluster bomb that has 90% duds.

But after all of this, instead of random people on the internet, we have experts who have time and time again said that COVID is not a bioweapon:

> they are filtering the narrative about themselves

It's not a tinfoil hat worthy context. We know for a fact that they're doing that.

China ordered a book written [1] espousing the glorious success of Xi and the CPC in vanquishing the virus, before the world even knew for certain it was tranmissable person to person and just how dangerous it was.

They invented an outlandish narrative about the US military attacking Wuhan with the virus and then freely spread that 5G-is-the-cause level of insanity all over Twitter (with the open blessing of Twitter, by way of their refusal to remove the disinformation campaign).

This is a good question but contains a false dichotomy. It's perfectly possible to provide both.

It does work with pyenv, but can be slightly tricky. I used a setup recommended by Jacob Kaplan [1] that uses pyenv, pipx and poetry.

Pyenv is used to manage different versions of Python and virtual environments (using pyenv-virtualenv [2]). Pipx will be accessible only from the python version or virtual environment it is installed to. However, the programs that you install using pipx (like gita or poetry) have their own virtual environments, and run reliably irrespective of accessibility of pipx and what you have activated using pyenv.

It's easier to install pipx into the pyenv python version that you have set up as global. This ensures that you have access to pipx most of the time. You could just spawn a temporary shell with global python to access pipx otherwise.

The main reason that JRuby and truffle Ruby parted ways was due to their desire to support C extensions. We went down that road many years ago and decided that the performance characteristics of the MRI extension API inside a managed VM like the JVM just would not scale, and most extensions are not thread safe or memory safe. In our estimation, C extensions are the biggest thing holding Ruby back. We wish the Truffle folks the best of luck in their efforts to fix their C extension performance and threading problems but they just aren't a fit for JRuby.

I think that it was more a thing in earlier years. When you had more time than you had stuff to read, long, meandering articles were wonderful. But that is, um, not the condition of most people on HN.
They're always spewing propaganda about everything, though. How does that eliminate the need to provide evidence about a claim?

Or are you just saying the best geopolitical response to unsubstantiated propaganda is more unsubstantiated propaganda volleyed right back at them?

This is similar to people who accuse the CIA of orchestrating every big event or crime. They say they don't need to provide evidence, because the CIA is untrustworthy and tries to deceive people. But this is a completely bullshit argument.
In the murder scenario, we would have something like

P(individual is guilty) = 1 / 7 billion

P(individual's car on same block | individual is innocent) = 50 / 7 billion
P(individual is guilty | individual's car on same block) = 1 / 50 (from Bayes' rule)

You might disagree with the priors, but I'm pretty sure the argument is sound.

Does having enemies run away make the game more fun for the player, or does the need to chase them become an annoyance?

If an enemy sneaks around the player, gets in cover and concealment, and shoots them while the player does not understand where the fire is coming from, is it an enjoyable experience?

Smarter and more realistic does not necessarily mean better. We don't write enemy AI for the purpose of it being effective in fighting, it's there to provide entertainment for the player.

It's also about creating the intended emotions. Games are intentionally designed to create a particular set of experiences. There's a niche of games that relies on gratification of overcoming some frustration (e.g. Dark Souls series) but the majority of gamer market prefers a 'power fantasy' emotional experience, so many games are intentionally targeting that. If we want the player to feel powerful, then we design so that their character can defeat many enemies; if we want the player to feel smart, then we design enemies so that their behavior has exploitable weaknesses that they player can discover and feel satisfied while 'outsmarting' or 'tricking' the opponents. In most game genres we don't want the player to feel outsmarted by the computer unless they have made a substantial mistake that the average player is able to notice and correct.

The problem with rewriting the COBOL code base in a newer, sexier language, is that this new language will itself become obsolete in ten or twenty years. Then you're back to square one re-writing the app in another newer language.

So businesses faced with this problem have a choice: accept that their code is written in an old language, and train programmers to learn it. Or pay big money to convert their code into... a language that will soon be obsolete, in an endless treadmill.

Isn't it better to be obsolete and not pay conversion costs, rather than be obsolete and pay perpetual conversion costs?

Yes, programmers are more productive in newer languages. However, you are never going to get rid of the old stuff, so you will always need some programmers versed in every language, at every stage of your conversion hamster wheel.
