> That certainly seems to be the case today, but it was not the case when physicists rejected the claim outright.

The claim was of specific results which were inconsistent with the people performing the experiment having survived it. The experimenters being alive to give press appearances was sufficient reason to reject that claim out of hand.

That something else very interesting, but unknown, might have been happening wasn't rejected until after robust reproduction attempts failed to produce any evidence of that.
> Hell, the U.S. has administered almost more doses than Russia, India, and China combined but those are the countries that will save the world? C'mon.

Yes. The US administered those vaccines to people in the US, so it does not save the world. On the other hand, India, one of the countries you ridicule, exported 58 million vaccines, almost twice as many as what they administered locally.[1] The EU has exported 34 million.[2] In comparison, the US is exporting 4 million.[3]

> Once the U.S. is fully vaccinated, tens of millions of doses will flow to the rest of the world on behalf of the U.S.

If we're talking future flows, Indonesia alone is set to receive 140 million doses from China.[4] India is ramping up production from 60-70 million monthly doses to 100 million monthly doses from April.[5] "Tens of millions" of doses from the US is a drop in the ocean compared to that.

How Big Does the Corner Need to Be?
Full disclosure: I’m not yet diagnosed ASD, but I have pretty high confidence I will be. The only reason I haven’t pursued it sooner is that the point I acknowledged not just the possibility but the importance of knowing was around the same point I was no longer able to continue at my last job, which was six months ago. So I don’t currently have the resources (insurance) to look further.

That said, while I’m not an expert on the topic, some of the way you responded is right in line with what I’ve seen people with diagnoses express as harmful. I’m sure you mean well, but ASD presents in a lot of ways. Many which are not nearly so debilitating as what you describe, or more to the point, not debilitating in the same ways. The fact that it’s such a common misconception that it is so debilitating across the board is stigmatic.

I haven’t experienced this disability chic, what I’ve seen is the opposite: people afraid to find out because it may be socially limiting beyond their natural limits.

It’s possible that what you see here is a reflection of high incidence of what you call “high function” but nevertheless also a high incidence of ASD in tech communities.

I hope you’ll consider the possibility. I hope you’ll also consider that it took me a full day to work up the nerve to address your response, and honestly it’s such a sensitive subject that I’m probably going to have to stop looking at my phone for the night because I can’t bear whatever potential negative reaction might be coming. But I couldn’t bear leaving it unanswered even more.
Sure, but if its stock price plunged due to massive sellout, its profits wouldn’t really change. I’m directly refuting the claim that Tesla is unprofitable. It’s in fact a sustainable dividends-paying enterprise. Perhaps a comically over-priced enterprise, but sustainable and dividends-paying nonetheless.
The vast majority are very obviously test sites. Also it's unlikely you'd have a high speed camera extremely close to an enemy target about to be blown up. So any of the more clear photos are obviously testing sites.
> 1. The people reacting to these rules are neurotypical

How do you know that everyone who disagrees with the "speech rules" of the "social justice left" is "neurotypical"?

I think "aneurotypical" people (whether ADHD or ASD or whatever) are just as capable of having a wide variety of different political views as "neurotypical" people are. Take any current political or social question, you are going to have a wide diversity of opinion about it, and I don't see why people with ASD/ADHD/etc would have any less viewpoint diversity than society as a whole does. (If anything, people with ASD might have more viewpoint diversity than average, due to putting less value on social conformity leading to a greater willingness to consider and even espouse unpopular opinions.)

> it's that the social justice left is autistic

I really doubt that. Possibly, people with ASD are over-represented on the "social justice left". (I've heard the same claim made about the "alt-right" – although the two claims are not mutually exclusive). But I think the clear majority people on the "social justice left" don't have ASD, and conversely a lot of people with ASD don't identify with the "social justice left".
There is no difference between WHO and China. For this problem, I don't think WHO would give any help. We would never know the true. IMHO, we shouldn't dismiss the possibility of leak, but sadly we could only dismiss it.
Thanks. That's clearly a valid issue to litigate for. Too bad the article doesn't mention any of that.
I can appreciate your revulsion to IQ as a concept. Yes, there is no real utility to knowing IQ. And there is much elitism surrounding IQ. Mensa is gross. And IQ isn't even a full measure of cognitive capacity. There's creative problem solving. And emotional intelligence. But there IS a kind of utility to it in the sense of self knowledge. And it can be humbling, which is always a good thing.

I couldn't help but laugh at this.

If you want to avoid trust issues, maybe don't lie to people. Seems like an easier solution than lying to them and calling other people assholes if they don't perpetuate your lies.

> What right do you have to do that?

There is a conversation occurring between two people. One of them asks a question. Both parties in this conversation want the question to be answered truthfully.

You are saying that I don't have the right to do so because someone who is not involved in said conversation wants me to lie instead. This is insane.
Funny thing about mastodon.art, they block instances just for federating with other blocked instances, do not communicate the block to the admins of said instances, and even block "instances" that do not exist and never existed based on made up reasons.
Show HN: Launch your e-commerce in a minute
I can see your point, but I don't feel it. My mind wants to say those two things aren't comparable; apples and oranges. The only way I can explain it exposes my own bias, so I have to grant that you're right, but at the same time it doesn't change my bias as to which one is more "correct" or "wholesome" or "mentally healthy".

The need to have or display material wealth, on any level, as some kind of basis for happiness just isn't the same as the ability to be happy in ones self, naked to the world. One is unhealthy and unsustainable, the other isn't. "Like there was something wrong with me" more sounds like "maybe I do need that external validation more than I thought I did", more as a desire to be self-satisfied, or of a healthy state of mind, like (seemingly) other FI bloggers (the very fact they're bloggers may undermine the entirety of the argument, however).

OK, to put it into an analogy: if the Jones' were getting fit and healthy and looking after themselves would undertaking a health kick still be "keeping up with the Jones'" or would that be a good kick in the pants to get healthy yourself? (motivation and tenacity (w|c)ould be the differentiator).

If it's intrinsically positive, is that still pandering? If there's no perceived value other than the perceived value, then I'm on board with your argument.

It's likely to be a case of the ugliness of reality not often being blogged about, and so OP had an unrealistic expectation - in which case there's definitely an amount of Jonesing, but I'm maintaining there's a distinction between positive/healthy and negative/unhealthy Jonesing (so maybe I'm trying to move your goal posts whilst agreeing with you but still trying to appear to disagree).

This many words to justify my position. If it was anyone else I'd call denial.
All languages have their libraries and design patterns, not sure how your comment answers my question.

The article does not agree with your statement. You either intended to link a different article or you're trying to mislead.
No, because you’re reading the local file system using the local processor, which could corrupt reads or writes. Even DMA reads won’t solve it - malware could encrypt/decrypt transparently for a period undetected, then toss away the decryption key once it’s likely that backups are no longer viably usable..

Interesting question, though the same could be asked for hot fusion.
> The main difference I encounter between WSL1 and WSL2 is that accessing files across the OS divide happens through a networked filesystem instead of a natively shared filesystem

This has been my biggest gripe with WSL and linux virtualization on windows. WSL1 wouldn't work with some weirdly mapped network drives we had and with WSL2 (and linux in general) I don't find the drivers (or samba or some other component) stable enough when you're doing large writes to NTFS drives, I've had the same issues with vmware too.

This is one of the big reasons I'm still on cygwin, it's worked for years (maybe decades), it interoperates with windows better and all the little bugs have been worked out. Ultimately it's then GNU tools I'm after, the kernel isn't particularly interesting for my use cases.
Consumer-grade RAM was ~$50/MB for a hot minute in the early to mid 90’s. Lots of machines shipped with 4MB, but 8 was the sweet spot for basic tooling around in Windows. I worked in tech support for a small laptop manufacturer in Ohio and we sold systems with 64M. Nearly $5k for a laptop, it blew my mind people would pay that much.

I had that Voodoo 2 card as well, it was the bees knees.
This description doesn't match my experience of writing Rust at all.

During the exploratory phase of my projects, I very rarely run into nontrivial lifetime issues, and when I do, I can just put whatever data into an Arc and then it just works. Most of my exploratory code is just objects that own their data.

Later in a project, while doing a bunch of refactoring to handle performance, logging, etc. , I have a much easier time letting the compiler tell me when I've made mistakes with a value's lifetime rather than trying to keep the whole program in my head for the duration of the refactor.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about lifetime issues during either phase of my projects. Mostly I just write the same sort of thing that I'd have written in other languages, and the compiler tells me when I've made a mistake.
MDN has a good list: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes...
The 9/11 attacks killed less than 3,000 people. Or if you want percentages, resulted in the deaths of about 0.0009% of the U.S. populace. Yet it sent our country to war and has had an impact on millions of people. It is in the very nature of terrorist acts that they "terrorize" the wide populace, while only a tiny fraction are ever victims of terrorism. It is similar with hate crimes.

Human psychology deals with numbers strangely. There are many who seem to think 500,000+ deaths (many preventable) from Covid are not something to be overly concerned about. Some of these same people are deeply worried about "Extremist Muslim terrorism" that has had very few victims.

So, yeah, from what I understand about growing anti-Asian crime, I do think it makes sense to be concerned. In particular, because this increase seems to be a (predictable) response to actions by many over the past year to demonize China, which any sane person knew would create a generalized animosity toward Asian-Americans. It's not like things like this have never happened before. They have, and they're quite predictable.

First time user. Couple of feedback

1. One thing I liked about this tool was I felt less complex UI. It's like it is simpler as trello. Other tons of PM tools does have complexity which feels me less comfortable using product

2. The loading time for opening app after user has logged in is something that I wasn't used to. The loading screen kept showing until 20-25 secs.

Anyways, a great experience using this product

There's a joke dating from the Cold War.

Two Russian generals sipping coffee in Paris. One asks the other, "So who won the air war?"
"gave up" sounds like an unnecessarily ominous take on "delegate". But what's your exact point? Do you believe this is an irremediable situation or that know-how has been lost to time in the age of information?

I'm assuming you're implying a conversation about China and their manufacturing capabilities. But worst case scenario short of nuclear war, assuming US-China burns bridges and somehow for some reason now US is fully unable to import Chinese manufactured goods; how does this eliminate the US and all other countries from investing in an area that has now become more profitable? You could argue that prices would increase, but then again you aren't owed cheap manufacturing, and subsidies and tariffs are paid by either the taxpayer or the consumer (which tends to have a knock-off effect on the rest of economy, anyway). There was never a free lunch.
As described in Blind Man's Bluff, US subs regularly tapped USSR undersea cables. Divers would attach the bug and they would come back weeks or months later to pick up the tapes. But these were copper cables.

How do you bug a fiber optic cable? Solve that problem and then place an underwater drone alongside.

Would junctions be a point of vulnerability?
What puzzles me is that as of yet, there doesn't seem to be any talk of using "AI" (ie Neural Net stuff) for planning and strategy, which seems like a MUCH more powerful application than this stuff. Sure, it can learn how to fly planes and drones, or drive tanks or terrifying robot dogs, but isn't the real potential here in duck-taping GPT-3 to a mountain of past battlefield data and specs and having it run war games for a while?

Yes, I realize I'm almost literally describing SkyNet, but isn't that where the power would be, for better and worse? The strength of computers has always been the ability to analyze literally incomprehensible (to humans) amounts of data and derive unique insights from them, and current machine learning has magnified this ability several-fold. AIs have now repeatedly been dropped into all kinds of video games and gone from morons to competent to beating all human players and exploiting bugs no one even knew existed. In a grim sense war is just another game. It has constraints, resources, definable win and loss states, etc. Consider that conflicts have often tilted based on a single novel strategy discovered by limited human commanders, and then ponder what an AI that improves its Mario speedrun via nearly imperceptible collision glitches could do.

Potentially, weapons don't matter as much as how well you can use them.
> In particular, while anyone could be MMM, not everyone can be MMM: There simply aren't enough people who read financial advice blogs to support a significant population of such bloggers living in rural LCOL-ville. Even if there were, someone has to stock the shelves at Walmart. Shelf-stockers simply don't earn enough to retire early, unless shelf-stocker wages rise to a level that makes blog-FIRE unsustainable.

If overall consumption were reduced by a factor of 10, everyone could work 10% as much over their lifetime. I see no reason that couldn't be a hard few years of shelf-stacking until you get together enough to retire. Maybe that would be a better way for society to operate.
Can someone explain to this non-EE how current alone, as specified in milliamps in the absence of a specified voltage, can be used to specify a lethal condition?

It is not impossible that the authorities in China don't actually know what happened, but are afraid that it could have been a lab accident. Thus, they cover up from observers just in case, even though it might not actually have been the source. But, I share your concern.

That doesn't cover the entire space of possibilities, because the input can be an arbitrarily long decimal number. A correct implementation must (in the limit) expand the entire binary representation of that number and correctly round (using round-to-nearest, ties-to-even), even if the tie-breaking bit is a million places down.
All these speculation pieces and theories without any proof at all.

My issue with the theory is it lights a fuel under people for more racism against asians in general. Until there's solid evidence, everyone should dismiss it as just that - a theory.
Maybe the problem was their definition of “tremendous?” The cooling
water in which the fusion cell was suspended wasn’t boiling or even
misting up their glasses.'

Well, yes? According to Wikipedia, what F&P reported was an unexplained 20 °C rise in temperature.

That is a tremendous increase in temperature... when the expected amount is zero. But not exactly a "kill everybody in the room" amount of heat, right?

For most of the time, the power input to the cell was equal to the
calculated power leaving the cell within measurement accuracy, and the
cell temperature was stable at around 30 °C. But then, at some point
(in some of the experiments), the temperature rose suddenly to about
50 °C without changes in the input power.

It seems to me that there are large numbers of problems with their claims! But the temperature thing doesn't seem to be one of them?

Please don't misunderstand. I'm not arguing that they achieved cold fusion. Anybody with a shred of skepticism should assume they didn't, until proven otherwise via reproducible experiments.
Precision weapons are a bargain.

C# is a really good language, but I had nothing but problems trying to develop with it on Linux exclusively. MonoDevelop doesn't support Linux anymore since a bunch of proprietary components were added to it (and this isn't even mentioned on its homepage), so you have to use a community fork. That didn't bode well for me. The fork didn't have packages for my distro and I couldn't get it to compile for two hours. VS Code wasn't much different, given I couldn't seem how to get OmniSharp working for my project. Eventually I found the only thing that worked half the time was Rider, which actually allows you to manage NuGet packages but costs $139. And still, I often had to load and unload projects or even create new projects entirely just to get it to find the new assemblies I added.

It left a bad taste, but maybe that was because I wasn't using a distro like Ubuntu.
