On the first question, yes I don't see a problem (aside from the whole issue of people who are willing to donate stem cells for money would probably much prefer to have their financial needs met without requiring a medical procedure).

On the second question, yes I think there is a slight difference since animals can't consent. If the question is strictly "would you rather do a biopsy on a cow or a consenting human" I'd choose the human.

I'd think most people would agree on the rule "don't hurt a person unless you have a good reason". Vegans just extend that to "don't hurt an animal (the kingdom) unless you have a good reason". And to me, informed consent free from coercion is a good reason, but taste is not.
Similar to what Uber did in many countries. In many cases they simply started operating without approval from local authorities.
This is refreshingly fast! Definitely going to try typesense in my projects.
I don’t think it’s terrifying.

Sure it’s dumb and poorly informed. There have always been dumb people spreading bad ideas. It is not our responsibility to force them to agree with us or de-platform them if they won’t agree with a certain narrative. This is called common human decency.
There is a huge outdoors lab where we run a gigantic experiment "what happens when humans encroach on natural habitats of mammals on a never seen before scale and humans also are highly mobile, able to spread novel diseases across the globe before they even get discovered or their severity assessed?".
> Coincidences can and do occur, even wildly unlikely ones.

You could gather some data and do some math on "Given that an outbreak occurred in humans, what is the expected range of the nearest bio research lab?" If the Wuhan lab(s) is a lot closer to the initial outbreak than you'd expect, then that alone merits a closer look.

I have no idea about the distribution of bio research labs, but seems like it's probably relatively easy to come up with that number.
I think the problem is that this achievement is unlocked mostly by subsidy. Without subsidy, many would just go back to the standard fare of pizza, Chinese, Indian, and Thai food within a half mile radius.

We will first have to wait and see whether the on-demand delivery business model will work out in a cheaper country, e.g. GrabFood in Indonesia. Even in such country, my sense is that the restaurants are still getting charged too much to cover for the subsidy given the customers, while the delivery riders are still being paid too little and have to rely on infrequent big tips.
I think you're underestimating how exceedingly difficult it would be to correctly identify the people that you could steal their vote, and not get caught.

Picture it, if you try to vote for someone, and they also vote - in person, or requesting another ballot - that's trivially detectable.

That didn't happen.
I think it's a very reasonable conclusion, as do the white men who offered their stories of their own ultimatums in solidarity with her. Why would you think that it would depend entirely on the ultimatums and the circumstances of each, when we have a long history of racism and sexism, both systemic and individual; when we have a deep body of scholarship on things like unconscious bias and its effect on hiring, job decisions, promotions and punishment; when we have decades of experience successfully mitigating or eliminating the influences of sexism and racism in job actions, and seen the corresponding effects disappear?

Really, we know that racism and sexism exist and have impacts even at places like Google. So when we have a case where the differences with other similar cases are the race and sex of the individual, it would be odd not to conclude that race and sex were probably strong, if not determining, factors.

> 1) A disease traveled hundreds of miles to a large city without leaving a trace of evidence

It was certainly circulating in, say, California, for a couple months before it was actually detected [0]. During flu season, seems to me a new respiratory disease can probably get pretty far before anyone notices it's not the flu. It probably crossed the Pacific before it was detected and reported in China, what's a few hundred miles?

All you have to go on are symptoms, and mild/moderate covid doesn't look like anything special, it's not Ebola.

I think a major factor in popularizing Robinhood and introducing and exacerbating the gambling degeneracy are places like wallstreetbets and corners of twitter and discord where you're constantly exposed to screenshots of heavy losses and gains. You look at the 20-100k and beyond returns these crazy people get and you rationalize you can do it too.

Soon you find yourself in a community that helps you (in their own way) deal with your losses while promoting the next play. It also doesn't help that being in a bubble, the adage "stonks only go up" has been true since the March crash and meme stocks outperform and achieve extreme valuations against all conventional wisdom.

Robinhood is the shovel-seller that has undercut the other players with lower prices and lower barrier to entry and better UI. The Fed is the one pumping this asset bubble that keeps the narrative going: stocks only go up and fundamentals don't matter.
Where was the bioerror? Unless you believe COVID-19 came from a lab, then Pinker won.
Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?

YouTube had security camera videos posted by members that showed taking mail in ballots from under the table rather than the counting bins. Stuff like that was called false or inaccurate. I cannot say if this mail in vote did the same across the USA, but it shows that the voting process is flawed that and the Dominion software flipping votes from Trump to Biden by mistake.
Sorry, you are right - too many allegations.

The clarify, the fake story was that Hunter Biden tried to get Joe Biden to intervene in a Chinese commercial deal. To quote your link:

Bobulinski’s overarching claim is that Joe Biden was involved in, and may have profited from, his son and brother’s business dealings in China.

To also quote your link:

The Wall Street Journal reviewed his documents and found no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden — or that he was active in his family’s foreign business endeavors, as Bobulinski claimed.

This new investigation is about Hunter's tax affairs in China. No one has ever disputed or censored the idea that Hunter Biden has business affairs in China (or in Ukraine, hence my original confusion).

What I like about not integrating the build-step as Deno does: You allow competition and the market comes up with great ideas like Vercel did with pkg.

Building TS projects is quite demanding and I doubt if one party monopolizes this important step and thinks it does the best job it will degenerate an ecosystem. Even the TS team says the build system is not the core of their work, they just have one for convenience but encourage the community to compete and complement. Integrating build systems is good for beginners who struggle with them but for the rest? IDK.

Or in other words, Deno wants to be more than just an opinionated node-Typescript-distribution nobody cares about but then they need to create this ecosystem and focus on the core (what's their core and value add other than repackaging node and TS would be the next discussion).

With integrating the build step they do the exact opposite, they shut-down an ecosystem before it can even start. There's a night and day difference between good and bad build systems and only competition and a rich ecosystem can bring up the best solutions.

FWIW, there're tons of ways to compile TS, every with different trade-offs and it's good that we have these options.
Property crime skyrocketed in San Francisco under Gascon. I'm curious to know:

Was there an influx of criminals from outside San Francisco? Or did law-abiding citizens turn to crime? Or did the crimes per criminal go up?

In any case, it was a disaster. Los Angeles deserves what it gets for voting him in.
I wonder if they are going to merge content like they had before, or if they aim to segment the market in some way. I know Funimation is more known for rapid English dubs, for example.

The governments of both states know they moved. The voter registrations were adjusted accordingly.

I think the advantages far outweigh the downsides. I don't really care how old the idea is.
Yes, yes, I'm well aware that's a common tactic. However, it is completely fair given the conversational context to ask the poster for clarification for their actual beliefs in what determines "real truth", given that they have stated multiple situations that they find disagreeable for ascertaining "real truth." To shut down valid discussion and shout down fair questioners by throwing around accusations of logical fallacies is not conducive to debate and discussion. It creates a chilling effect that poisons the conversational well.
I guess you can run your local DNS server and point the browser to that. The local DNS server can do all the filtering you want, and forward the filtered out requests to the outside DNS server.
Six researchers who are shaping the future of artificial intelligence
Sure you can. It's pretty simple. Growth in resource consumption and energy usage in the past 80 years tracked extremely closely to economic growth.

Combinatorial explosion in production possibilities does not mean anything close to combinatorial expansion in possibilities for growth. It's an increase, but nowhere near factorial.

Here's an example. Imagine that you are a barber shop. What advantage does 10 years of computing advances give you? You might be able to save 15 hours in accounting time and lower appointment friction by 20% over phone calls. The expansion in the productive possibilities linked to tech was combinatorial, but even in a period of ten years it barely improved your business.

The truth is that every frontier has a point of diminishing returns. Your point is that you believe that we can iterate on the value - resources front indefinitely. Well, empirical data just disagrees with you. We're at 2% annual growth on average and slowing down, despite increases in consumption, and even less than that when correcting for population growth.

Yes, Malthiusianism is wrong. You can't equate Malthiusianism with the belief that infinite growth is impossible, that's just a total non-sequitur.

We might still see a lot of economic growth left in the future, but it's clear there will be plateaus and it's clear that we are nearing one.
I think what Deno is great because it lets me be decentralized. We did so much with open source only to throw it all away with npm and go back to a centralized corporate entity :(

Isn’t there a Supreme Court case that Texas filed and 18 states added on with amici curiae? It won’t be heard, and it wouldn’t be positively ruled, but it “is” a possibly isn’t it?

Also, isn’t it possible if there was fraud that it was discovered later? Shouldn’t that be “allowed”?

You're right. It was about injecting "disinfectant". The lying media keeps saying "bleach" when he was actually talking about bringing stuff like Lysol into the body.

An astonishingly large percentage of the population are parroting this and all manner of other misinformation on social media, all day, every day, for months, and it's getting worse as one by one the dominoes fall and yet another impressionable mind is swayed and joins the chorus.

Anti-cheat goes pretty deep, actually: some games, such as Valorant and R6, do VM detection as part of their anti-cheat checks.
To be perfectly fair, it’s working on Linux natively. Since it runs on stadia.

I was part of the efforts of putting The Division 2 on stadia and it really is “just Linux” for the most part.

The elf binaries ran essentially flawlessly on my linux machine (although my machine was under powered for the game.)

Sadly we never released the game on Linux to the public.
This seems like an unnecessarily strong negative reaction to something people are working on to explore mental health treatment.

Personally I would like to benefit from this research if it pans out. I don’t have a generally negative association with “hallucinogen” but for personal reasons I’ve been hesitant to try them. If I could benefit from a synthetic of the chemical compounds without undesired (by me) psychoactive effects, I would certainly like to know.
> So when we have a case where the differences with other similar cases are the race and sex of the individual, it would be odd not to conclude that race and sex were probably strong, if not determining, factors.

Really? The only differences are the race and sex of the individuals? The white men you mentioned held the same job role, had the same history with the company, attempted to publish the exact same paper, were asked to retract it in the exact same way, sent the exact same angry reactionary email to a large group in their capacity as a manager, and threatened to resign if the exact same conditions were not met in the exact same way? There is simply no way this is true, and it is telling to me that you overlook all of that.

We appear to be living in different realities. The "deep body of scholarship" you refer to is highly disputed, generally hard to replicate, falsify, or use predictively, and not anywhere near being the hard scientific fact you are attempting to anoint it as. I don't much care about the opinions of a couple of individuals with unknown biases and ideologies; I consider their thoughts largely irrelevant. The facts and details of their stories are not however, so if you have them I would appreciate it if you could share.

Why would I think it would depend entirely on details and circumstances...? Why on earth wouldn't it!? The main systemic sexism I remember google being accused of recently was actually underpaying all their male employees [0]

You seem to "know" that sexism and racism are responsible for this, but it seems to me you've started with that conclusion and worked backward. If you are correct, the details of the individual stories should support your view. So I ask again, are those details available?

yes. That was the whole point of the conversation, and why we are having this discussion in a forum designed for discussion, instead of in a platform that is equally designed for microblogging and discussion.

In addition, it's perfectly possible to put contact info in your twitter bio. Someone is just as capable of looking at that and emailing you as they would be if you were blogging off your own website.
I think they bought those stocks(options) because they knew that of course those industries would be bailed out and thus there would be a huge catalyst event that would increase the implied volatility and thus the profits they make. And the other and perhaps more important factor was that those stocks were simply much cheaper than spy shares, and therefore their options would be cheaper too.

I'm not writing him off, certainly. But I also don't see how this labels him as a wrong thinker? It demonstrates that he's missed the mark a lot as a result of his over-reliance on intuition. His technique for finding truth seems amiss. I don't think anyone is deplatforming him either. He's still able to write his blog and use all of his internet accounts. This article is compelling his audience to be more critical of the technique he's using to figure things out.
I agree. I can use the example of flappy bird for this. Overnight development teams pumped out 3d versions of his game with better controls than the original. Sometimes timing is important for small players because other teams can take your idea and execute better and faster once they know the market is there for such a program or product.
I wasn't asking you a legal question. We all know that QAnon isn't literally illegal. I was asking you a series of moral questions, many of which can't be answered with "imminent lawless action". For example, is it considered a "thoughtcrime" if the danger isn't imminent? If someone is working on detailed plans to kill the president, but the plan would take multiple years, should this person be stopped or should they be allowed to continue their plans until the danger is imminent?
It really degraded that much. It's always been of the left, but used to be fairly even handed and not as openly ideological.

Reduced Ordered BDDs coincide with the minimal DFAs that accept the language of bit vectors encoding the boolean assignments that satisfy the modeled predicate. That is, this holds if the BDD has not had the "skip test if both outcomes less to the same sub-bdd" optimization applied, which anyway only reduces its size by a constant factor.

> ...that a government can print money and extract any resource it wants from any entity it wants to at any time at the barrel of a gun, and you and your CEO friend can't.

This is just factually false. The French government can't extract any resource it wants from California. The US government cannot extract any resource it wants from China.

The ultimate limit of what a government can extract value from is the land it owns, whatever fraction it can extract from its residents without starting a revolution, and whatever land and residents it can conquer of its neighbors.

That's why I suggested debt financing to fund infrastructure makes sense; infrastructure investments can increase the wealth of the residents, which is the ultimate limiting factor in the future revenues.
Focusing on this particular topic at this particular time in the evolution of the modern university seems...off. Like realizing you have to tackle a hard messy task, and finding trivial things to distract yourself so you can avoid the inevitable.
