It’s not hard to find, because he said these words in 1968 before his assassination:

“…it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?…It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.” (“The Other America,” 1968).

Funny, it sounds just as true of 2020 America as 1968 America. https://www.history.com/news/for-martin-luther-king-jr-nonvi...

He would understand. He would probably be out there. He might try to be a calming influence—or he might act as a street medic. He might have turned as militant as Malcolm X over the last fifty years since his assassination. His tone was changing even from his 1966 Mike Wallace interview where he said:

“I contend that the cry of "black power" is, at bottom, a reaction to the reluctance of white power to make the kind of changes necessary to make justice a reality for the Negro. I think that we've got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard.”

Dr King was heavily involved in protests. He did everything he could to keep his protests non-violent, but he faced extreme violence from the ~slave patrols~ white racist cops of the time. His son is on Twitter…and is being MLKsplained to by white people who consistently misunderstand what MLK said and meant.

https://twitter.com/OfficialMLK3/status/1266040838628560898 (follow the thread)

MLK’s position initially was very much the same as Michele Obama’s “When they go low, we go high”. But he never said that people should just _give in_ to the violence of the state, and so it’s pretty clear that he would not have completely condemned the protests or even the riots.

(In other words, there’s multiple MLKs, and most people—especially white people—remember the sanitized “I have a Dream” MLK that is taught to us as history. That MLK is _not_ the MLK that existed at the time of his assassination.)

Emacs and vim has existed for 40 years and has been run and used by people that have thought a lot about text editing. I still find it baffling that all the modern hip editors are still playing catch up wrt the pure editing part. Emacs opened my eyes to what I hadn't discovered in the tools I used before because I used most text editors only as glorified notepad.exe. I had to start over to find what text editing should be like, and now I have no reason to switch back.

I re-read the article and might be mad, but this is your interpretation or rationalization of what doctor said.
I've done a bit of reading from the experts. I read the main debunking article about this lab theory, and personally did not really understand why the authors were so confident their evidence eliminated the lab theory.

- https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9

Their two claims are:

1) ace2 binding is much better than humans can engineer with computer simulations

2) virus does not come from any known backbones

Regarding #1, I've found another article where the author was able to induce zoonosis from a feline coronavirus to a mouse by exposing the virus to mouse genetic material. So, the fact humans cannot directly engineer zoonosis very well does not preclude lab induced zoonosis.

- https://www.nature.com/articles/news030331-4

In fact, this is a theory posited at the end of another debunking article, which doesn't actually debunk that particular theory.

- https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-wuhan-lab-complicate...

Regarding #2, as I mentioned before, it seems this line of reasoning is a non sequitur. A virus backbone used to create a bioweapon is exactly the sort of sequence you are not going to upload to NCBI.

The fact the reasoning does not seem very solid in what is considered the official and definitive debunking of the conspiracy theory is itself odd.

So, it is my reading of some respected virologists that in part motivates me down this rabbit hole.

Anyways, I greatly appreciate your feedback. I'll keep learning more about virology, and hopefully get some clarity on the whole matter.

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” "

We have a very armed police because we have a very armed populace, and we have a very armed populace because security is your own responsibility, at least in the rural areas (also notice the urban/rural divide, armed populace is in the rural area, and the crazy police stories are from the urban area).

One of the main ways America is so different than Europeans because of its political system. Here we empower rural areas (due to electoral college). Without electoral college, the national policies are what urban policies are. NY state looks just like Canada from a political POV, large urban concentrated center who vote and dictate all the policies, and rural areas don't really get much of a say in state policy.

Urban areas are ok with different point of views, they are ok with lifestyles which don't result in 'spreading of the tribe' (i.e. abortion, LGBTQ etc), they are less religious, pro-infrastructure spending (because a fire brigade can serve a LOT of people).

Rural areas are more religious, self-reliant, pro-guns, anti things which don't spread the tribe.

In European democracies, this results in primarily urban driven policies, whereas in the US this results in a constant rural-urban divide and struggle.
WebRTC is the good old RTP, on steroids.

It standardizes a set of conventions that web browsers could follow to a) solve the issue of NAT traversal (i.e. opening ports in consumer routers and firewalls), b) send video and audio (and possibly also arbitrary data), directly between web browsers, and c) possibly adapt the video quality to the conditions of the network, in an autonomous and automatic way.

That's the bird's-eye view of it.

Some keywords to expand on this: "a)" is done with the ICE protocol, "b)" is done with plain old SRTP, and "c)" is done with algorithms called REMB or Transport-CC.
Very minor but interesting nitpick: the font used on checks is not OCR (optical) but MICR (magnetic ink). The design objectives are different and different font families exist for the two purposes. MICR as used on checks (more properly called E-13B) bears unusual, distinctive character shapes emphasizing abnormally wide horizontal components due to the need for each character to have a distinctive waveform when read as density from left to right, essentially by a tape recorder read head. Fonts optimized for OCR are usually more normal looking to humans because they emphasize clear detection of lines instead.

E-13B is a bit of an ideal use case for this method because of the highly constrained character set used on checks and the unusually nonuniform density of E-13B. The same thing can be done on text more generally but gets significantly more difficult.

According to Google Translate, in Italian, "potenza" means strength, ..., potency

I wonder if the doctors in the article used this word to describe the loss of potency, but the media and translators are equivocating this to mean "strength" (which is a more intrinsic quality, and suggests a mutation).

My first guess was that because summer is starting, people are getting more Vitamin D, and this is making the virus less effective. Alternatively (as others have stated in this topic), the virus could mutate to spread more effectively but lose its strength on individual people, and this would still be considered an evolutionary advantage.

Parents in the UK will some times describe a child as "flirty", it has nothing to do with sexuality - to head that one off. They have learnt, by only a few months old, to attract attention of adults by using facial expressions, coos, and such. They certainly seem to be the other end of the spectrum wrt commanding social interaction.

But I'd suspect it's more that most children have the capacity but a few just happen upon the formula early. Like we mostly have capacity to walk but some take 14 months then just get up and walk, whilst others are walking at 8 months when they can barely raise their heads; and others are crawling backwards, or shuffling on their bums because walking didn't click quite so quickly.
If you have no first strike capability, you're not participating in MAD. With hypothetical superior defensive technologies you wouldn't be bossed around by folks with nukes, but you couldn't threaten them either. I'm saying hypothetical, because they don't exist yet - the primary defensive technology against superpowers is the ability to execute a retaliatory strike, i.e. to participate in MAD. And defensive tech cannot be allowed to progress faster than offensive tech, lest it breaks MAD and plunges the world into nuclear war.

Even sudden emergence of such superior shield in a random country with no offensive capabilities would be pretty destabilizing. The mere existence of it would put everyone on high alert, as all the nuclear powers scramble to replicate it before others do. And if said country where this technology emerged would even suggest they may be considering extending protection to one nuclear power and not the others, that alone would be enough to force others into striking first.
> filed for unemployment

I would like to point out that filing for unemployment is risky:

- it's not a guaranteed approval,
- you don't automatically get health insurance (and COBRA moves all of the cost to you, rather than split between employer+employee),
- there's little hope of a bonus extension, and
- there's a chance that your state exhausts their unemployment fund in the near future.

> nor necessary for all grades of fuel.

That's moving the goalposts.

Piston airplane engines typically (but not universally) have high compression ratios, so they require fuel with a high octane rating. In fact, the only avgas that contains lead today is 100LL (100 octane, low lead).

If you want to have a discussion about lead in avgas, you're having a discussion specifically about 100 octane fuel.

> What about iso-octane?

Definitionally, 100 octane fuel has anti-knock properties similar to 100% iso-octane. You may be able to make an approximately-100% iso-octane blend for lab tests, but it's not really possible to manufacture it in commercial quantities.

Keep in mind, "premium" auto gas is usually less than 93 octane, and even that has ethanol.
> Simply evolving the Saturn 1B (which was cheaper, per lb of payload to orbit, than the Saturn V) could have easily beaten the Shuttle's economic performance.

I don't know how much it applies, but sometimes evolving something requires switching out components for other ones, which are more expensive. Not everything scales. Marketing isn't the only reason why 50% more capability often costs 100% more. I imagine with rocketry, you're often operating at the edge of the capability for certain materials and approaches.
Eyes! Eyes! Is what I tell my 13 year old daughter.

But she is far more comfortable looking away while in conversation. The theory that has resonated most with me is that both facial interpretations and language processing are very cerebral processor intensive. Turning off your facial tracking algorithm by looking away frees more brain nodes to help with processing and thinking about what you are hearing and saying.

So I’m torn. Do I continually push her to look at faces during conversations, because over time it will build up more efficient neural pathways for that kind of processing? Or is it just something unique about her I can’t change and I am just causing her unresolvable stress?

> What's wrong with working for others?

Nothing really.

I guess what the parent was getting at was that if you are an employee at a point of your life when society expects you to be retired, then you will not be able to allocate your free time as you see fit. In other words, working for others past retirement means you never really retire enough to indulge in things you never had time for in your prime, like spending quality time with one’s spouse for instance [0].

The thing about paid news is that they're offering a "premium" product, but that product has notable omissions. You know what I'd expect from news that you have to pay for? A bibliography. Something like (an idealized version of) Wikipedia, with a list of references included somewhere, each scoped to a particular claim—even if a reference just amounts to original research conducted by the news org. E.g. Interview with Terrance Bodwell, 2020 May 17.

It's almost like the raw deal you get with most commercial software. Consider the case where you have some open source thing that tends to be both free (as in price) and you get the source code to it. Now, someone is offering a premium alternative. What do you get for you money? In most cases, you actually have to give up on being able to look at the source.
I personally would love to pay for my news (in a sense I try to do that by regularly donating to Wikipedia as I think it's a fantastic open-source-esque news source)

My trouble is the dearth of non-biased media sources. (Hacker news may be considered biased as it's often skewed for people in tech?) This might just be my inability to trust but I see multiple issues:

1. Presenting facts in any way can be seen as biased as you pick which facts and how to present them

2. Many news sources have different editors and journalist with a wide swathe of opinions that it's hard to trust one news source completely based off of reading just a few articles.

3. Picking one news source makes it likely to have confirmation bias, which is something I want to avoid.

Usually I stick with Wikipedia and its references for each subject and try to synthesize all sides of an issue. Or I pick specific writers who I've seen with a good track record that really try to be objective even with they are giving opinion pieces (Gwern is often my goto for a lot of topics)

So really I don't have a good answer for this, I would love other people's thoughts and other sources of good news or systems for finding good news

What I tell me kids is, balance conversations around your friends. Don’t tell them what’s on your mind, you can always get to that later.

It was an amazing vehicle and highly capable in some way, but severely constrained in others. The main problem is it was almost completely useless for any missions or activities beyond LEO. In theory you could use it to put up a small boost stage for a light interplanetary probe, but its cargo capacity was a bit small for that, and there’s just no point using a whole shuttle to do it.

Now that we have Falcon 9 and Heavy moon missions are back on the table, but the Shuttle was incapable of supporting any effective Lunar mission profiles.
