The whole superhero mosquito thing is pretty solidly unlikely. For starters these things are tested in closed environments (already has been done many times). The worst you might expect is it not working at all.

Also, the mosquito lifecycle is as little as a week or two from egg to egg. The process would be rather fast.

Sure, there is plenty of travel between China and Africa, but maybe the proportion of the population that travels internationally is much smaller than in Europe or the US?

We're seeing how Brazil lagged, but is now rapidly increasing the number of cases; couldn't it just be that on average people travel less, are less urbanized, and so it took longer to get the epidemic going?
Just running docker-compose on load balanced machines is pretty close to having all k8s features (that would give you an endpoint, scaling, running pods[containers],heartbeats and nodes[vms]). If you run Kubernetes on GCP you will see it's just a wrapper of GCP vms, load balancers, instance groups and disks. EG: GCP k8's autoscaling for the nodes isn't any better than just simple GCP load balancers and instance groups (it literally is the same thing). k8's best feature (only?): specify yaml files to declare the setup. That is great! But, you make edits to this 4 times a year - that is a ton of complexity for those 4 git commits.

Does anyone know where one might find the reference implementation of ECMAScript 4? It’s linked here[1] and you can find a form to fill out and download it via archive.org[2], but because it was behind a form, archive.org doesn’t have the actual file.

Your words almost exactly echo Marilyn Manson’s commentary on the columbine shootings. Interesting parallel. He was asked what he would say to the shooters and he said “I wouldn’t say a single word to them. I’d listen to what they have to say. And that’s what no one did.”

Sure, I love gritty, classic rock. To the extent that rock was influenced by blues, it has that voice to it. But rock is dead. It died sometime in the 1990s, unfortunately. Metal survived somehow...I'm not really a metal fan, especially very technical stuff, because I find it very...masturbatory. The theory is that the guitar is not an instrument, it's an antenna. It picks up on the energy and mood of the player, all the way down to the stance, the heartbeat, the expression on your face. If you see players like Jimmy Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page--and thankfully now there are so many hours of footage of them at our fingertips--they throw their entire body into the performance, completely unafraid. They aren't staring at the fretboard and twiddling out some ridiculously complicated technical thing that (some believe) requires the perfect 45-degree neck angle, a highly mounted guitar, a severe fret-hand reacharound with the thumb on the back of the neck...no, those three I mentioned play mostly by feel. They are hardly looking at the neck, ever, instead enthralled in the whole experience, like a Tennis player watching the ball, not their racket. Contrast them with someone like John Petrucci, an extremely intelligent and cerebral player, with a vast knowledge of musical theory and absolutely excellent technical skills--but then he stands there on stage like he's jerking off with tweezers. (Pardon the imagery, but I can't unsee this after a friend explained it this way to me!)

I honestly couldn't tell you.

What I can tell you, is that the unbelievable bloat in the complexity of our systems is going to bite us in the ass. I'll never forget when I joined a hip fintech company, and the director of eng told us in orientation that we should think of their cloud of services as a thousand points of light, out in space. I knew my days were numbered at exactly that moment. This company had 200k unique users, and they were spending a million dollars a month on CRUD. Granted, banking is its own beast, but I had just come from a company of 10 people serving 3 million daily users 10k requests a second for images drawn on the fly by GPUs. Our hosting costs never exceeded 20k per month, and the vast majority of that was cloudflare.

It's very difficult to take seriously when many opportunistic people so readily turn every case of blacks behaving badly into police brutality.
In the coverage of Floyd yesterday, I even saw a black man (with a PhD) continuing the absurd narrative that Arbery was just out for a jog. It's difficult not to laugh sometimes.

While black collectivism is admirable, and something we Whites could learn a thing or two from, they must temper it with an ounce of reason and sense. They must accept that there are an awful lot of extremely dangerous and violent black men who our police must contend with every day, and that their behaviour in those situations is very often directly linked to the consequences they experience.

In the same way Whites feel a sense of justice when a bad White is roughed up by the cops, blacks will need to do the same. Their unrighteous indignation every time a thug is often rightly removed from our streets does nothing but emphasise how wide the gap is between our people.

On this bit:

> Perhaps if ES4 landed, fewer people would need complex build tools like Babel, Webpack and Typescript.

I'd pose it the other way: if stuff like Babel existed at the time, folks might have actually written es4 because they could do so without breaking backwards compatibility. And most of the value in a static type system is the ability to flag errors before running the program, so I don't think there's anything you can add to the browser that would have obviated an offline tool for that.

Frankly, I think we'd be better off if we started getting a lot more selective about what gets added to browsers. Adding more and more features to browser's js implementations is silly when most folks are using ahead of time build steps to get access to those features without the browser's help. And continuing to add things is a great way to ensure that they'll keep right on using those tools, so they don't have to worry (as much) about who supports what. And it just makes the barrier of entry for building browsers higher and higher.

There's more utility when native browser support can do something a compiler can't. Things like reducing code size for really widely used functionality, enabling technologies that can't be bootsraped through developer tools (e.g. WebRTC). I'd like to see additional growth of the web platform be focused on areas that can't adequately be addressed by separate tools.

In my second year, I had to do this on paper, showing every step. The prime sizes were about 10 digits as to keep things within a few sheets of paper.

Or when you're small bootstrapped company.

The cost metrics that make "it's cheaper to use managed service than pay the cost of extra engineer to specialize in infrastructure" aren't universal. In fact, I usually have to work from the opposite direction, where hiring a senior Ops specialist who can wrangle everything from shelving the physical hw to network booting k8s cluster on-premises can be cheaper that Heroku/AWS/etc.
I agree that (under) enforcement is part of the equation, but I don't think it's the primary issue.

The problem starts when legislators write vague or ill-posed laws because they don't understand the underlying technical issues. If your understanding of the problem is that "cookies are some sort of tracking token and tracking is bad," you will not be able to write effective legislation. You need to have a basic understanding of HTTP, you need to know how cookies fit into HTTP, and you need to be aware of some basic cookie usage patterns. You need to be able to identify that some things that certain companies build using cookies are problematic, and other things are totally benign and are required for basic functionality. You need to be capable of understanding that a user's "allow/deny cookies" preference usually can't even be saved without a cookie.

When the law actually comes out, it's so vague and seemingly self-contradictory that lawyers at these companies are going to say "We have no clue WTF they meant here, or how they intend to enforce this law, or if they even intend to enforce it at all, but just to be safe, let's just do it this way that's obviously stupid, but appears to be what everyone else thinks will pass the sniff test."

Then the law isn't actually enforced, because the enforcers don't understand the law either, so the lawyers are like, "Well, no guidance based on patterns of enforcement, in fact, they don't seem to be enforcing this thing at all, so let's just do whatever we want," which is how you get your laundry list of obviously non-compliant websites.

Legislation needs to be clear, enforcement needs to actually happen, and needs to happen consistently in order to reinforce the clarity of the original law. If you don't have these things, your legislation is going to fail. Cookie law used in this example, but the same thing applies to GDPR. So far, very little enforcement, and enforcement has been extremely inconsistent. It's a really bad start.

They might not intend to kill, but they do so during the act of sucking blood without permission. That’s at least manslaughter.
You pretty much completely negated whatever point you had, so I'm not sure what your point is now. Every drug has positive and negative side effects. Just because a small percentage of people have adverse side effects doesn't mean that the drug is unsafe, otherwise ALL DRUGS are unsafe by this definition. So if your point is that all drugs, including hydroxychloroquine, are unsafe, then fine, you are correct by this absurd definition.

However, to more reasonable people, hydroxychloroquine is safe because the vast majority of people can take it daily for decades without any adverse effects. People with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis take it daily, with most having no adverse effects. It's provably more safe than a drug like Acetominophen. Are there people who suffer adverse effects by taking it? Yes. But it's a small minority of people. And if the only definition of "safe" is that no one ever gets adverse effects, then there is no such chemical that qualifies to be safe, including water. Water in large enough doses will kill people.

The reason why I'm saying it's politicized is because the very mention of the drug has become politicized. Look at your reaction and other responses. I never mentioned COVID-19, and you were the one to bring it up. The drug has been caught up in the nonsense with COVID-19 and Trump taking it, but that was never the point. I never mentioned that, all I did was talk about whether or not it's safe, which it is. People like you who know nothing about the drug start echoing talking points from the news because you think you're so much smarter than other people, and yet you don't even read basic information about the drug. If you did, you would speak more educatedly about the drug instead of parrot what you heard on Twitter.

If you don't believe what was written by the CDC and the FDA, then that's your right to believe whatever it is that you want. But it's not science, it's religion. You want to believe that hydroxychloroquine is a dangerous drug even against science. Even the research paper that you linked to has been resoundly criticized with science and math. But I guess since you religiously believe what you want to believe, you'll stick with believing that the paper is correct instead of following the science.

Am not the parent but, for example, the Bitcoin blockchain is essentially a double-entry transaction ledger. Every transaction has to balance inputs and outputs.

If the product poster is using has that property, then perhaps is a reasonable choice.

Postgres does not have any ledger balancing primitives.

Of course it does.

Of course, people famously are unable to correctly predict when that peak is, and so your scenario will never happen. (Some will sell early, some late.)

If you're good at predicting stock prices better than everyone else who is trying to, you can make a billion in short order. Good luck!
