We know that patient 0 was not at the market, and that people at the market got infected.

So, perfectly valid scenario:

1. Scientists do controversial Gain-of-function research by collecting viruses from miles away and importing them to Wuhan.

2. Lab leak happens

3. First linked clusters pop up a few miles away in a rather unsanitary market, with plenty of reservoirs and infection possibilities.

4. Virus is found in environmental samples, including animal cages and pets and frozen foods, in Hunan market and else.

The only thing indirectly invoking a major conspiracy here, is the possibility: lab leak happens.

Or you know, you can account for a scenario, where Chinese authorities covered up a major conspiracy (Don't be afraid! It's only reason over authority!). I thought we were already at the point where this is common sense knowledge. Or else we would know what exactly is going on in those Uyghur concentration camps, but all we can do is estimate the extend of this inhumane conspiracy.
My understanding was that they were designed by someone that likes monorepos.
I don’t think that math is right. 1 billion cubic yards is like less than 1 cubic km.
To be specific, the M1 supports a stronger memory model which makes emulation easier. There is no real dedicated hardware though.
I won’t even pretend to know enough to be able to solve this problem. But does your social circle not include other female friends that you could discuss the optics of this situation with? Or better yet, be honest with the female friend that you wanted to advice, pointing out what she had done before and expressing your apprehension in providing critical feedback?
It's relevant because that's the whole point of my original comment. If you want to ignore that, fine, but it's sort of disgusting how people are so eager to defend the law because it's the law, not because of any inherent morality.
I'm not sure how this can be broken down any more clearly. The customer is always losing money when they ask for a refund if they pay for the Tesla with BTC unless the price of BTC is exactly the same as it was when the purchase is made. Tesla chooses whether it pays the customer back in BTC or USD. It's pretty clear language. There's nothing that tptacek said that is wrong.
I don't think so... you can predict things won't go well without necessarily having observed exactly the same thing in the exact same context.

E.g. I'm sure tourist issues when travelling to North Korea are vanishingly rare, and yet I bet I'm pretty good at guessing what not to do. You can glean that kind of thing from the totality of your experiences and knowledge without necessarily testing it.

That's not to say I wouldn't be over-cautious or that I'd be a perfect predictor, but that's just about the looming cost of a false negative. I don't think it's rationally faulty or circular to just act in a self-preserving and overcautious way.
Ah, I parsed your statement as NOT (white OR male) rather than (NOT white) OR (NOT male). The former being roughly 35% and the latter 85% of the population
RFC 6749 does not contain any to verify tokens are usable for authentication, and is insecure (and has been exploited) when used for authentication on its own.

You have extensions like Facebook Connect or OpenID Connect which add on the additional technology and client steps to allow it to be used securely for authentication.

The title is wrong because those involved in the standardization of OAuth 2.0 have yelled from the very beginning not to use it for authentication, but instead use something that builds authentication on top of it.
"Ambiguous Utopia" is the minor title of "the disposessed" by Ursula Le Guinea in 1974.
I personally like your management style just based off of how your wrote that. I respect it a ton and as long as you give me the time and understand where my skills may or may not be at, I thrive in that environment. I try to give myself goals, but when things are ambiguous, it's very hard to do that. So long as you get that and that coding is just like any art form: It's done when it's done. You can't magically make a pot by smashing clay; you can't make the mona lisa by just tossing on paint. Since programming is logical, it requires a different way of thinking and often times it's as creative as an art form. Demanding it gets done by "X" is ignoring the fact that not everybody is Da Vinci.
If you want to make an argument in favor of learning and growing, that's great, but please don't lead with ideological flamebait. That will only produce more flamewar.

This is a negative approach - and the opposite of what you would want on your team.

The narrow view that some 'productivity gain' will result in 'less work' is almost entirely not true, unless you're doing commodity work, like answering calls etc..

An Engineer who can do the work 10% faster because of better tooling, isn't putting himself or peers in jeopardy, rather, moving up the stack a nudge to work on slightly more important problems.

Any company that counts technology as a pillar of competitive advantage needs to adapt responsibly and make process improvements especially as they become normative.

People that work against this are literally a drag on the company, like the kind of unions that forbid other groups from 'moving the hammer because it's not in their job spec'.

Consider that helping the company be more productive is part of your job, and that you're not going to lose work as a result of it, probably the opposite :).
> Indeed the implications and technologies of backing-up humans is not really addressed often or deeply in the novels.

I'm not sure what "often" or "deeply" means, but I consider Surface Detail to be revolving entirely around those questions.

The inciting incident, Lededje's reincarnation, can only happen because a Culture Mind has implanted her with a neural lace earlier. A bit of Culture tech which made a full backup of her mind state.

The underlying conflict of the book, the "War in Heaven" is also about this question. Namely if cultures of the universe should be allowed of creating artificial Hells. Basically simulated realities where the backed-up sentients are tortured according to the morale percepts of the given culture.

And to settle this question they fight in a simulated war game, where every soldier is a simulated instance of a personality backup, revented again and again to fight in different bodies on different simulated battle fields.
His argument is either a good or bad one. If anything his current position makes him an expert.

> "if this issue is not resolved shortly, we will move our company to use a different software."

No problem, there are other software projects that achieve similar goals to this one such as $ExpensiveOption from Microsoft or $outrageousLicenceClauses from Oracle - perhaps their support services are more in line with your company's expectations? Good luck, have a nice day...
It is absolutely ridiculously expensive. You can get an amazing 65" OLED 4K display for that :P

However, maybe he was able to buy it on his company or something.. Part of office decoration expenses? If you're a software integration business I could imagine that would impress potential clients.
I messed up. Telegraph costs about ~$600 per year, The Times is about similar price, so both could get you in the $1200 area (It's good to see different sides to find truth somewhere in the middle, so having just one subscription is not a great idea).
Would you not say that Amazon's critical tweet of Warren was speaking truth to power?
We've been using the free version of Collabora Office for about 11 months now. (This version is called CODE).

They won't do under-20 count licensing. If your org/corp is under 20-count, just use it.

So far, it has been 98% perfect. One or two hiccups, yet: we own our data, in our Debian servers. Android app works awesome. Browser works awesome.

it's not uncommon that things get published below the five sigma bar, you would get one paper every decade else.. however 3 sigma is not enough, things get quickly back to noise in this field.. unfortunately, i left theoretical physics for these reasons: no new data:(
Dialog has chilled, among lots of groups that need to talk more for all of us to benefit.

Some outsider risk takers will use this chill to create new networks and yield some consequent successes.
You’re all over this discussion trying to argue from a place of “legal = humane/ethical/moral/etc.” and I’m sorry, but this premise just doesn’t hold water.
Likely, no one would notice anything unusual at all for months.

The WIV simply doesn't hide samples for long enough for this to be a likely scenario.

By the way, it's estimated there's multiple hundred infections by novel coronavirus pathogens in China every year. So why would the much lower number of viral escapes be considered beyond it when we have the additional constrait of the sample not having been shared with anyone, whereas normally this is done?
We're not asking them to make the job to our satisfaction.

I doubt it - VS code is nowhere near a proper IDE like VS or IDEA - the only place where it's comparable is JS/TS because of how close those two teams are.

It does work when you needs something light weight - but it often craps out on large projects - ironically it slows down way more than the IDEs. For example I'm writing a Flutter/Dart project ATM - the VS code plugin becomes unusable after a while of working on the project even on a relatively small ~30kloc project. IDEA works just fine and has much better tools.
Ahahahaa... try to get funding for that.. -sigh-
If you're trying to protect a city from an ongoing eruption you might have a chance.

So, the $1k toy is actually being trialed around the world, just with more complex instrumentation. You can get closer without risking anyone, and you can make much more frequent measurements since it's so much cheaper. The biggest problem is the wind and turbulence (since volcanoes are mountains with a heat source, and almost nobody in the field is an experienced drone pilot).

There's no confusion, just a difference in upbringing. I was raised being told that racism was discrimination due to race and sexism was discrimination due to sex. I was told that our goal should be to be blind to such attributes in a professional setting. There were many in my age group that were raised the same.
Actually, biggest upside is, you make a change, the business succeeds because of your change, and you not only make huge profits on the business but also continue to cement your reputation as a top tier advisor.

But yes, doing it safely requires skill.
I'm curious what this environment is?

Right now we're seeing a lot of the "illiberal left" marching through institution after institution, as another commenter said, it will reach you eventually.
I don't think you can segue quite that smoothly from "behaviors commonly found in males" (which seems to be mostly accurate) to a list of "behavior[s] more commonly associated with women" that appears, at least to me, to be false (a common biased trope).

It has the appearance of symmetry but I think the first is correct and the second is a very hearty [citation needed] as I have experienced just as much gaslighting and gossip from men as women.

It's well documented that most cases of aggressive sexual violence are men. Is it equally well documented that most gossips are women?
Actual proof that not capitalism can work. Free software writers don't need a profit motive. They mainly do it for the love of creation itself. They are an implementation of the ideal un-alienated individual that marx dreamed all humans could hopefully become like.

Celebrate developers refusal to commodities their means of production. I hope it stays firmly in the GNU ecosystem.
It’s probably both.

The men are assuming based on the female founder’s gender _alone_ that she might accuse him of sexism.

Regardless of how rational this fear is, they are stereotyping new female founders they’re meeting for the first time based on what an X% of other female founder’s have done in the past.

For the men, it’s probably a risk/reward calculation. Keep your head down and be polite and have ~0% chance of being accused of sexism. Or, speak up and maybe ruffle some feathers and have a ~X% chance of being accused of sexism.

You can see the problem on both sides of the equation, but withholding advice based on gender alone does meet the definition of sexism, regardless of the intentions of self-protection rather than hate.
>I have been extremely fortunate that women have always found me very attractive and there is not a single job I've had where female co-workers didn't make comments at work which would not have been seen as extremely inappropriate the other way around

Far more men get groped than women these days.

Few know/talk about this unless they're doing the groping or an outlier in attractiveness.
Please do not take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. This is veering off topic, and not in the good way.

Yes, I think Warren made a mistake by saying what she did. Her misspeaking doesn’t negate the arguments against Amazon and how it treats its workers.
Anyone who is pragmatic and willing to take open and honest advice/criticism from people they respect needs to advertise themselves that way in today’s environment. It is on the entrepreneur to convince the person from whom they are seeking advice that they will not regret giving it. As an alternative, perhaps investors should offer an optional “advice NDA” that would allow them to speak more freely, with less fear of social media scorn.
It wasn't too long ago that people said they didn't want to read books digitally, but the Kindle seems to be doing fine.

The newspaper business model is broken. At the rate of decline we will be left with at most a half dozen newspapers in this country. There are many places I can get national news, but only one or two places that I can get local news.

If you eliminate the cost of printing and distribution you can charge less enabling more subscribers and make a profit all without any advertising. Add in a small amount of ads and you can charge less enabling even more subscribers.

Even more important those ads can be targeted. Why should an East side business pay for distribution of their ad to an entire metro area?

But lots of good reporters cost money. Add in the cost of giving away digital devices and it's not a business that can be bootstrapped.

Did you notice the author said he didn't have a great sense of how this era went?
The problem is how politically charged the word 'sexist' is. I'm aware that the boring unemotional dictionary definition is treating someone differently on the basis of gender, but in reality if a guy is hanging out in a women's toilet its not generally seen as sexist/sexism to ask him to leave (even though this is discrimination on the basis of sex).

So labelling anything where two genders are treated differently as 'sexism' or 'sexist' I don't think actually matches the modern usage of the word. I think the difference is it's usually used in a negative connotation and the type of discrimination is seen as non-acceptable - for instance most people wouldn't call a girl-band or boy-band sexist because they select their members based on gender, while most would call an employer sexist if they had a generic business and tried to segregate their teams into single-gender teams. Most people still don't have a problem with boy bands (i.e. a male-only-team in a music workplace), thus not sexist, but do have a problem with male-only-teams in other workplaces, thus sexist.

If your argument is to attack the messenger, the same argument can be much more easily be applied to Project veritas.
Yes, since it’s been true for about the last 10.
The immediate effect of such measure is the increase of people's mobility and the consequential economic boost. The side effect is the increase of segregation and inequality. Of course, people whose benefit from a covid passport don't care about this, because segregation and inequality don't affect them.
The real question is if you agree or not with making poor people more miserable than they already are just to feel like it's already "normal" again.
>CNN doesn't even report the news anymore.

I agree. I remember when news organizations had correspondents who travelled around the world to report on stories. People like Marie Colvin, who would risk their lives to get a story. Now it's all talking heads sitting around a table, telling you what to think. The stories aren't even real in many cases now, but made up hysteria like the nascar noose.

>BTW, I regularly read both the WSJ and the NYT. Reading both gives one a good idea about how agenda driven the media is.

May I suggest reading RT and the SCMP while you are at it. Maybe round it out with with some Al Jazeera.
The US is a diverse place. The culture described by GP fits the wealthy and management classes well. Working class folks tend to be a lot more forthright, often to their detriment in many circumstances, but there are huge swathes of American culture in which folks speak frankly about basically everything.

There's a dark irony to the idea that the defenses against sexism (standing up and calling people out) are also causing an unintended secondary sexism by discouraging equal treatment out of fear of accusations.

I've held the belief that if a someone can't recognize and clearly identify the differences between criticism based on merits and criticism based on bias, then there is no point attempting to do "what they want," because they don't know how to identify what they want even if they got it.
Only if you consider money as the only measure of value, which I disagree. Just because someone has all the magic government credits (money) doesn't mean they are the end all of measuring value no? There are plenty of things people value but would never pay money for it, or in most cases just don't have the money.
Corporate personhood =/= corporate free speech. In the very same Wikipedia article you linked it discusses Northwestern Nat Life Ins. Co. v. Riggs (1906), which establishes that corporations, while they are "people" for the purposes of contracts, are not entitled to 14th amendment protections.

Fast forward to Valentine v. Chrestensen (1942), the supreme court unanimously upholds the common law that the first amendment does not apply to corporations. The court suddenly reverses in 76' with Virginia State Board of Pharmacy v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, Inc.
This is incredibly anecdotal, so please take it with a grain of salt- I have a personal history of hitting the gym 5 days a week for ~2 hours for roughly 5 years. I've probably taken every caffeine supplement known to man, ranging in caffeine levels from 50mg->550mg and loaded with many other supplements (beta-alanine, creatine).
I've never sustained an injury that could be described as over-exertion (Luckily, I hear it is exceptionally common with long term gym-goers).

For comparison, an old friend (let's call him Dave) started hitting the gym with me and confessed after 6 months to starting his first cycle of steroids. He developed muscle much quicker than he expected, and so his expectations rose significantly. He sustained a major injury from attempting a bench-press that he was, in every sense, muscularly abled to do- but his tendons weren't. His wrist hasn't been the same since, and he can't bench press anymore.

Anyway- coming back to the original point.. I don't believe caffeine has any effect on someone's judgement for "Can I lift that, safely?". The result of hormone abuse might give a false sense of capability, though.
It's hard to imagine rolling into a car shop and telling the mechanic that your car "doesn't work", leave it at that and have him try to figure it out. Most people would at least try to describe the symptoms of what is going wrong, even if they don't understand a lot about cars. Imagine if the person who tells you "it doesn't work" is also a mechanic.
It's fine when you know your volcano. Not all of them are the exploding kind.

I can't link either of the two I use here for obvious reasons, but the primary one I frequent is just a private website made by a bunch of Googlers. It's basically just an invite only forum with a more complicated trust/permission system. It's very active with roughly 5,000 users and access to boards is limited by a trust system which operates similarly to private torrent trackers.

The second one, which I only use occasionally, is a private Android/iOS app that is very similar to Signal group chats.

I've heard of quite a few others but I don't have first hand experience with them.
> I see people leaving JetBrains every day

I see people leaving iOS every day for Android, but this people are balanced out by users going the other way.

The same is true, I believe, for JetBrains and VS Code.
I am under the impression that over 3 sigma suggests strong evidence for new physics but not enough to be treated as new physics with high probability, which is done at 5 sigma.

However, all the numbers are, well, arbitrary. By that I mean that there is nothing special about 3 sigma or 5 sigma or p-value less than 0.05. The actual value is arbitrary and used because it has high inertia, i.e. commonly used in literature.
Third choice: you invest in creating a better relationship with the female founders so that you’re capable of expressing your concern without appearing sexist.

I’m not sure why female founders are being portrayed as a different species? They’re humans. They know about sexism. They know when what they’re seeing is sexism vs critical feedback. And they will understand if you express your concerns with that.
> It shouldn't, but it amazes me that developers will do this to other developers.

I suspect your misunderstanding there is some misplaced assumption that "developers" are some sort of tribe who respect and look out for each other.

It's easy to exist in a small "developer tribe" bubble where that's true, but there's a universe full of "unpassionate devs" just scrabbling to get project managers or bosses off their backs, and who'll cut-n-paste from StackOverflow answers and harass open source maintainers just to get their next Jira ticket completed before whatever arbitrary time estimate/deadline has been imposed on them.
In Kosovo we call them “mushmulla”, they are quite common. As a kid used to eat a lot and I preferred them in their “unrotten” form since they were freely growing in the hills surrounding my town.
