I don't know about suburban areas in general. I think it largely depends on which neighborhood.

While it may not impact peoples professional identity, in many suburbs it impacts their social identity.

You make a great point. What if Apple did the equivalent of iBooks Author but instead of creating eBooks or iTunes University for creating online courseware it let individual instructors design workouts they could then sell?

Then again Apple still doesn't let third parties design their own Apple Watch faces. Seems like it would still be a pretty good and logical extension of iTunes U.

I think they've founded X because Google's interesting ideas got too big for a single department, so they spun it off.

>Yes, but this problem has only affected the city like this for the last 2 years or so (to this extent).

I believe 3 of the last 4 years had the "largest fire season ever in California".

Not only for agriculture. I remember public service announcements everywhere about conserving water. I remember restaurants not giving me a glass of water unless I asked for it, I remember the constant pressure.

>Only in the last 2 couple of years, and it has not affected all of San Francisco. Many districts in SF did not have a power outage this year.

It doesn't really matter whether or not the power actually went off. I was bombarded with messaging about the moral imperative of conserving electricity and had to prepare for it going out anyway. Because they managed to scrape by does not mean they're reliable.

>There are many companies that are ready to take your money and make your life convenient. But if you ignore them, things can be affordable.

Yes, I could live more cheaply here, that's not the point. The point is things that I want are significantly more expensive here than anywhere. There's a lunch I like to get at a fast casual restaurant nearby that costs me $35 for just an entree and a side. Sure, I can and usually do make my own lunch, but I could get a lunch I enjoyed just as much in the last city I lived in for $17 easily.

>Personal preferences and expectations have a lot to do with how much you spend. I've known people that live with roommates and save most of their salary.

I maintained the quality of life, or tried, it's actually marginally worse here, and the cost is at least double. Yes, I could live with people, but I didn't have to in my last city and I don't have to here, I could indeed make many aspects of my life worse in order to make it cheaper to be here... but that's my point, everything here is worse.

And you know what? I like snow, I like cold, I like variety.

> The striking finding of EcoRI and BstEII restriction sites at either end of the SARS-CoV-2 RBM, respectively, and the fact that the same RBM region has been swapped both by Dr. Shi and by her long-term collaborator, respectively, using restriction enzyme digestion methods are unlikely a coincidence. Rather, it is the smoking gun proving that the RBM/Spike of SARS-CoV-2 is a product of genetic manipulation.

Regarding links and references, how many are other papers from the same group, sock puppets, irrelevant material, bad research that remains a preprint for good reasons, and so on? For example:

10.20944/preprints202008.0595.v1) (2020).
So many people have asked me about this paper that I put together a quick response, below.

There are so many reasons why this 'report' is wrong. Beginning with the abstract: 'The natural origin theory, although widely accepted, lacks substantial support. The alternative theory that the virus may have come from a research laboratory is, however, strictly censored on peer-reviewed scientific journals'. In fact there is a great deal of experimental support, from multiple groups, on the natural origin of SARS-CoV-2. On the other hand, there is ZERO evidence for a laboratory origin.

The introduction also is full of inaccuracies. For example, 'the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is still the subject of much debate' is not true. The conclusions of the Nature Medicine article cited have not been challenged by other than charlatans such as the authors of this paper.

Here is their evidence:

1. A bat virus ZC45 is the backbone. It is 89% identical to SARS-CoV-2. In a genome of 30,000 bases that means it differs from SARS-CoV-2 by 3300 bases. No way is that the backbone of SARS-CoV-2.

2. The receptor binding motif of SARS-CoV-2 could not have been made from that of SARS-CoV. It is not what one would predict would give the highest affinity binding to ACE2. No one would have made this sequence in the laboratory because it would not have been the one to make.

3. The furin cleavage site has been found in other bat CoV, contrary to what the author says.

4. The presence of restriction cleavage sites in no way indicates manipulation; they just picked two that flank the RBD.

On top of it all I have never heard of this person or their institution.

It is a complete reach and adds nothing beyond what has already been suggested. There is nothing new here! Similar arguments were made and debunked months ago.

> I don't know if Google can compete with them on this. I subscribe to Google One (excellent live customer service), YouTube Premium

Oh come on. There’s nothing unique on Apple Music. Apple TV+ is a joke with absolutely zero content worth staying for. So effectively that’s $15 for a me-too music-service and nothing else of interest.

Google has YouTube music ... and ad-free YouTube where tons of new content is published every single day, from a global pool of creative, independent creators. For $12, that is, for less.

In this particular case, why on earth would I prefer Apple’s offering over Google’s?
It's extremely hard for smaller companies to compete with the likes of Google and Facebook, who (I've heard) offer 25% more than everyone else. Which is why they end up with all the talent. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I don't know how many people saying otherwise would constitute sufficient evidence in your mind, but add me to the list of people that disagree with this sentiment. I've had candidates who couldn't code a loop. Not "did something suboptimal", I mean literally couldn't write a single line of code.

I've had candidates who seemed incredibly accomplished when talking them, who showed amazing looking demos and could talk at length about them. But when given a task to do on the computer, given 2 hours alone to sit and code, couldn't do even the first part of the exercise - despite it being something you could literally copy and paste from the documentation that we gave them a link to!

Ok well here are the facts. Open means freely and widely available. Source means source code. Open source means the programs code is freely and widely available. If you want to add other stuff onto that you need to find a new phrase.
Yes.

If you're a computer science fundamentalist like pixelpoet who wants to stick to definition of core as what's AMD and Nvidia call "CU" and "SM", using "threads and warps" instead of "strands and theads", then "CUDA core" is obviously jarring.

It's simply a case where marketing won. At least Nvidia and AMD, and now Intel, are using the same term. You can go on with your live, or you can whine about it, but it's not going to change.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

I don't say that there are no good things coming out of the medical industry. Sometimes there are good things, and when it comes to bodily trauma, I think the medical profession is excellent at stitching people back together again.

But I'm especially interested in wellness and optimal living. I genuinely don't feel the industry has anything to offer on that front. Food is probably the most important 'treatment' we can do, but the industry is pretty silent on this.

My anecdotal experience, is with a relative who was diagnosed with diabetes. It was never explained to them that if they don't eat carbs they won't have the disease - cutting out bread, rice, etc was too 'out there'. The advice was about how to manage the process, cut back a little on the bread, inject insulin etc - the relative ended up on a high level of medication. I think all that could have been avoided by eating appropriately for the disease, advice which that person has taken (a bit) with a corresponding drop in symptoms + medication. To my mind, it is not so radical to cut those foods out of the diet completely if they are harmful!

Its not that doctors intend to be mean or harmful, but they are taught in such a narrow way with medication at the heart of what they do. If they advise 'off menu' they stand to lose their license. The medical industry is in fact captured and beholden to big pharma.

Did you even know that there are alternative theories of disease? Namely - the terrain theory (Beauchamp). That what you eat and how you live is the main cause of disease. That disease (of all sorts) is a natural bodily process, as your body tries to heal - including cancer. Eg, at a lower level, when you have a cold, this is your body clearing your system. There is mucus and a fever. The worst thing to do is to take medication to suppress this process - but that is the first thing most of us will do.

Anyway, for that and other reasons, I find the terrain theory makes a lot of sense, and it is something that does not require an intermediary to tell you what you need to do (eg a doctor, testing, etc). If you get it right you enjoy optimal health. That is the position that I'm arguing from - that food and proper management of what and how we eat (inc breaks such as fasting) is probably the best healer. If I were ever seriously ill, my first course of action would be as per my initial comment - a prolonged juice fast.

Cheers
Agree. I think the greatest ill of our society is the death of the middle class and the widening gap between the haves and the have nots.

Some suggest that taxation is the answer but maybe another answer is for companies to distribute their wealth more widely.
This is getting really close to "Steve Jobs comes in and throws the entire product line away, replacing it with a box of four" territory. Three plans, each offering different sets of services while promising to be a bundle that simplifies stuff (and, if you don't use all of those services anyway, it isn't cheaper). It's starting to remind me of Microsoft 365 licensing.

I don't understand why they don't just have one plan for $25 per month with all of the services (maybe only 1TB of iCloud storage per family or something). It wouldn't be cheaper if you were single, but if you were in a family of four it would be a simple deal. It must have something to do with the News+ licensing having to bring in at least $10 per month per user (as there's almost no way that arrangement is profitable as is).

I think the jist was that BrainInAJar believes that most people who get super rich do so, not by simply providing value, but by exploiting vulnerabilities in how society works so that they create a need for the value they are going to provide.

I'm not sure how accurate of a representation this is, but it certainly appears to work that way in some places. Realtors are a really good example of this, and of course, Butler's "War is a Racket" is a classic regarding the US military-industrial complex.
I think some of the chronic ills of our society are rooted in the (incorrect) belief that solving any given problem is simply a matter of throwing $X at the problem.

"Donating time" is a deceptive phrase because it just sounds like you are paying out some currency other than money and that's it. "Donating time" encapsulates "building friendships, lifting up others, increasing love/unity in communities, gaining new perspectives" and more, unlike "donating money" which encapsulates none of them.

That's a very disingenuous take, but those seem to be the norm for you. People calling for an end to apartheid have not been historically labelled as extremist (other than by apartheid regimes themselves) because apartheid has not been a norm in recent decades, and because the causes you mention all involve the expansion rather than the abridgement of rights, upholding a long-established egalitarian norm.

But to make you happy, I'll qualify my statement, and say that Facebook has been A-Ok with violent and frequently genocidal extremists organizing on its platform.

It's interesting to see Apple moving more towards an "Amazon Prime" model. Subscription services make a lot of money, but it's annoying to manage a lot of them, so perhaps it makes sense to trend toward "one large bundle per tech company".
I’d use Apple Music if only there was an easy way to get my play stats. I’ve been using lastfm for over a decade, using it to build recommendations and track my changing tastes.

The problem with underscreen FP technology is it isn't polished enough for Apple quality.
