That's exactly why they should do this. Discord needs to die. We should be cheering this on.
And so the reasoning goes: income taxes should pay for the general welfare, rather than the general hardship of various Middle Eastern countries.

This:

The EU should start to invoke the Doha Declaration[1] (patent release), and use it in full, if necessary.
This would pressure AstraZeneca to fulfill the contracts they signed and already got payed for.

It is irrelevant that other customers signed first / paid more / whatever.
They signed a contract, and they did not deliver - there must be consequences.
(not childish, passive-aggressive, vaccine clot-danger rumors/whining)

If they cannot deliver their production commitments, then the EU should open the patents and procure the production elsewhere, in AZ's place.
(for example, Bayer's vaccine production capacity is unused)

The US did it - the nice way - with J&J and Merck.

EU bureaucrats need to adult-up,
(and put aside neoliberal dogma / possible private sector careers)
and act proactively for Citizen's (health and economic) needs.
The more days people are without vaccination, the more will needlessly die. And further will the economy / livelihoods plummet.

I also see no problem that the EU continues production beyond its own direct requirements, and supplies those in the World that need vaccines and cannot afford them.

I mean, yeah. Physical replicas of art are imperfect, and their existence doesn’t devalue the original. Even two copies of the same piece by the same painter aren’t identical.
I am not a lawyer so please consult a lawyer before taking any action. The fact of the matter is they own the copyright on their videos. And while they don't have any security persay on their videos beyond the obfuscation of the urls that does not change the fact that you do not have permission to share those links to said videos.

Those links are provided to paying customers. By sharing them to non paying customers you are effectively breaking their digital rights management of their content (as awful as it is). Thus they are fully within their right right issue you a cease and desist and follow up should you fail to obey.

Again. Not a lawyer. Consult a proper one before you take any action.

> If I had enough money the difference between couple of million and 50 is not all that significant I would sure pay

By many measures, if you had 100M$, you'd be somewhere in the top 0.001%, a million dollar would represent 1% of your net worth, but 50M$ would be 50% of your net worth, so I'm not sure where you came to the conclusion that that's not significant.

You're failing to define what the objectives are. Wars have objectives, that's why people fight them.

The US and China have no ability to occupy each other's lands, nor interest in doing so. Neither do they benefit from out right destruction of infrastructure because that escalates to a nuclear conflict which wins no one anything.

The most plausible engagement is US intervention in the strait of Taiwan to thwart a Chinese invasion and occupation. And that war is essentially conventional: it results from US fleets being out of position and internal politics making it look like a good opportunity.

I get what you’re saying, but I was reporting Mahafee said about the response of scientists to the first press conference. They were not claiming that their new type of deuterium fusion didn’t have the same relationship between generated heat and neutron flux. They were claiming it was ‘fusion’ generating ‘tremendous heat’ which was completely inconsistent with them standing next to it unharmed. The (still dubious) claim that this is a different type of ‘fusion’ that has different features came much later. I’ll very happily withdraw criticism if someone (1) publishes a properly reviewed study that is replicable and (2) make a convincing case for a theory that explains the phenomenon that is consistent with other observations of fusion. After several decades, we’re still not seeing any real progress on either of those, so I remain pretty confident of my skepticism.
> How do you form that judgement without knowing the questioner, the responder, their relationship, the question, or the context for the question?

I stand by my position.

One thing I know as a teacher of art is that you are not doing your job unless your students replace you: their ideas of good/bad art replace yours, their points of reference and their system of values replace yours. Advice from old artists to young artists is a bit like your great grandfather teaching you how to play Pokémon Go.

I believe that this ongoing 'plowing under' is what distinguishes art from science. Scientists can build upon a body of knowledge, artists burn each preceding generation to the ground.
I suppose this means Discord for Enterprise is never happening, which stinks because it honestly is the most user friendly out of all of these chat applications with the team-> channel setup. Kind of reminiscent of Basecamp in the project management space, in that respect.

Maybe they’ll take some performance and UX cues and add them to Teams (but I’m saying this about the people who decided to make a greenfield chat/collaboration tool and make the file storage backend SharePoint, so, I suppose I’ll just cry)

What I saw was the opposite: proponents of "came from a lab" were generally clear about distinguishing whether they meant "escape" or "release", while anyone trying to discredit them were the ones conflating the two - by starting with the ambiguous phrase "came from a lab", ignoring the rest of the argument, and then debunking "created + deliberate release".
I wouldn't do this and keep it around. We have all had rejections, particularly in these highly competitive times but the trick is to forget about them after doing a quick postmortem and learning any lessons. The reason is that psychologically we are wired to focus on the negatives and ruminate endlessly on it leading to self-doubt and a sapping of self-confidence. This is absolutely not good for long-term psychological growth and by extension, your life.

There is also the fact that "recruiting" methods are pseudo-scientific and do not reflect the candidate's ability (outside of very narrow specialized fields) at all. People also tend to make biased snap judgements if you display your failures/faults rather openly. Always project your strengths and don't advertise your faults.

You’re being downvoted, but hedge funds’ positive impact on price discovery is under-rated.

Matt Levine (Bloomberg’s extraordinary finance opinion writer / jokester) had a pretty good articulation of this in a recent post about GameStop and Melvin Capital (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-01-28/knowin...):

“The point of the stock market is to Enable Price Discovery or Encourage Capital Formation or something boring like that. Stock markets exist so that companies can raise money to fund their projects, and so that the smartest analysts of companies can work diligently and compete fiercely to put the proper value on those companies so that we as a society can know what projects are most valuable. Stock markets exist so that regular people can invest their savings in those companies, making everyone better off: Companies get funding to pursue socially beneficial projects; regular people get an ownership stake in economic growth. Or whatever.

This theory has some obvious flaws in its real-life application, but it’s a decent theory. It is, if not exactly true, true-ish; it describes the fundamental underpinnings of the market if not necessarily its everyday operation. It posits a social purpose for financial markets, beyond making funny memes on Reddit.

It is just the case, just inevitably the case, that if you are going to have financial markets that are optimized for those purposes—that are liquid and complete, that attract smart people, that are open to everyone—they are also going to have a certain amount of nonsense. It’s not like WallStreetBets invented financial nonsense! Financial-market nonsense is, like, 70% of what we talk about around here on a normal day. How many times have I written about hedge funds tricking each other using credit default swaps? Financial markets exist to foster price discovery and capital formation, but the way they do that is mostly by letting smart people mess with each other all day. WallStreetBets is a new class of smart people messing, quite effectively, with the old ones.”

I have been building web software for 20 years and honestly don't understand how they could built something so complex (under the hood), flexible, configurable, and still fast.

For example, you can flip major features on and off without even a hiccup (like Sprints or Subtasks). I just can't begin to imagine the architecture behind that capability.

RIP Discord?
I find the amount of rejections "most" have to experience before landing a decent job somewhere, to be soul crushing and when life can already be very depressing.

It would be nice if one's ability was easily measured by a history of completions and then graded.

It would also be nice if life wasn't so competitive for surviving and for not ending up homeless. I pity the young generation that doesn't have real family that supports them until they make it somewhere.
I like to think that most of us folk on HN can agree that hedge funds have had very little to do with the progression of the world beyond the growth of its key members’ pockets and convoluted new “investment methods”.

Pension funds - and similar - can easily be moved to ETFs and other asset classes without the management fees from these funds.

we had a issues with the CCP few years back, they shipped deadly viruses out to the Wuhan lab.

"We have a researcher who was removed by the RCMP from the highest security laboratory that Canada has for reasons that government is unwilling to disclose. The intelligence remains secret. But what we know is that before she was removed, she sent one of the deadliest viruses on Earth, and multiple varieties of it to maximize the genetic diversity and maximize what experimenters in China could do with it, to a laboratory in China that does dangerous gain of function experiments. And that has links to the Chinese military."

i doubt their narrative because they where not transparent and kept making up conspiracy theories that it came from the US, then it was Italy, frozen fish etc etc all the while preventing any international investigations.. We also know labs do leak and even China had many leaks in the past including SARS and other viruses so its not unbelievable to think it was just a accident and if they where doing gain of function we need to know and we need to figure out a plan and have better systems in place to prevent leaks.
They talk about a lot of manual manipulation on the skull. Muscles removed. Then talk about lack of variety in diet. Makes you wonder if they are not alleging something else without saying it.

No, but perhaps we'd like to "neuter" our careers in order to reduce the time spent in-transit, increase the flexibility with which you can do things around the house during the day, and generally avoiding the "management in passing" that can occur when you're in the office.

A university degree or a food safety certificate are not at all like an NFT. Those types of certificates have substantive implications. A degree is a credential to signal one's expertise, a food safety certificate is a credential signaling the food meets specific standards for human consumption. Authenticity is important in these cases because it's valuable to be able to determine if the issuance of the certificate reliably correlates with what it implies. If I decide I want to hire an engineer to build a bridge, a certificate that can reliably signal they are educated in the vocation of engineering is a matter of life and death. With NFTs, authenticity is a non-issue since the NFT itself is lacking in any meaning because it has no connection to the real world.
Unlike food, land simply exists. That's why rents are so abhorrent. You are taxed by nobility simply because its theirs, not because they render any service. For food, you are paying because someone had to perform labor for you.

Land can be parceled out using any system people can devise. Rent is completely artificial. Strangely, the people that do nothing for you charge FAR more than the people who hunt for you.

An interesting metric to consider is how much would at-cost rent would be if land was free and only construction, repairs, and utilities needed to be paid for. If you run the numbers over the lifespan of a building, you'll be surprised.

imagine if this happened in the USA and they prevented any international investigations or collaboration... and instead just started to blame other countries. Then a long time later allow people in who they choose and basically tell them what happened and call that a investigation.

It's even simpler than that. Had a conversation with a man who owns some tiny 60's vintage apartments on an ocean-view lot. He turns down market-rate offers from developers looking to put in family-size units because with his Prop. 13 tax tailwind, he makes out well enough despite the lower rents.
This is the most details study of long term affects. 6months vs other studies at 3 months.

Nice study.

But it didn't show where these people were from looks like hospital inpatients in the first Wuhan cluster.

Also I would like to see their results compared to non covid positive of the same age.

A member of my family got swine flu in 2009/10 they had very adverse health affects for three years after. So its not uncommon to have long term affects from flu like illnesses

It’s not even a given that you’re neutering anything by working from home. I’ve worked with lots of people in the past who succeeded just fine working remotely. You’re not going to make CEO but there is no reason why your career should actually suffer working remotely. This mythology that remote workers miss all this “critical” break room chatter about the hockey game and therefore miss out on promotion is mostly anti-WFH FUD.
Agree...

I think unfortunately for multi-generational Americans there is a weird stigma when you come from certain backgrounds --some people escape them, but not most. Immigrants don't usually have this stigma and burden. They come for the opportunity which they believe comes with putting in hours or work and study. If you're second generation and greater, you assume many Americanisms like you're entitled to American things without the hard work. Immigrants are willing to sacrifice a generation so that the next might succeed. Quite a few of my HS cohort didn't have it in them to put in hard work. They wanted to hang out, play, skip school, go to the mall, smoke weed, get beer, etc. Kids of recent immigrants were not like that, by and large.
Something is very strange about the Stripe interview, even now.

First time I was referred to Stripe, I got a rejection email an hour later (no interview even occurred).

Second time, I did a coding exercise with no issues, passing all tests, but from the start I could tell the interviewer didn't like me (so I got a rejection).

Putting aside “real” art for a moment: for many mediums, I do. It’s the same difference that explains why an original acrylic painting costs a fortune while a print is $30 in the gift shop. In many mediums a digital copy cannot capture the texture, light effects, and other features originally intended by the artist. In these mediums I think only the originals can capture the human intentions of the artist themselves, and a great deal of value stems from the fact that you hold in your physical hands a piece of a person. Only the owner can see these things. This certainly does not apply to all artistic mediums, but it does seem to apply more to the art I see in the price ranges common to NFTs.

Exactly. Frankly, I'm tired of this tip-toed attitude - there hasn't been any sort of consequences suffered or imposed on the Chinese government for how they surreptitiously dealt with the virus, initially.

I'm not condoning or advocating conspiracy theories, but where they are wrong, they should be penalised.

Just a really dumb thought.

1) A military commander programs an AI squadron with the parameters of destroying a heavily defended military target with the parameters of minimizing casualties.

2) The AI veers the bombers 180 degrees off course and attacks a nearby town, purposely and irreparably destroying the only hospitals and drinking water production facilities in the region. Thousands of civilians are killed, and the loss of fresh water will cause many more casualties in the following weeks as people are no longer able to get drinking water. No military targets are hit.

3) The AI is examined. The reason it attacked the town is unclear but it is determined that it was not a malfunction or sabotage.

Given that.... was a war crime actually committed?

The AI cannot commit a crime, it's not a person. The people that ordered the attack specified that it should be attacking a valid military target. The people that created the AI certainly didn't intentionally put any mechanism in there to have the AI purposely commit war crimes.

Given that, is it an actual crime? Or would it be closer to something like a natural disaster?

...to be clear I'm not a bright guy so I've probably missed something obvious...

That's what these F-16s are trying to do. It is taking visual and sensor information by the truckloads and find patterns in it, make meaningful conclusions from it and provide direction.

Your definition of AI is too narrowly scoped. AI can be applied in planning, strategy, logistics, and things like flight mechanics, as well. This is precisely because AI today itself is narrowly focused. We don't have AGI obviously.
