I'm not sure you are aware that everybody that activates JS just to see this type of content (which can be done in a static html only manner) will be heavily disappointed when they've loaded your page.

It's like waiting to load a WebGL demo of a damn teapot. Afterwards you have a negative impression, such as me now thinking of chadnauseam, that I now think has no effing clue about webdev if this person can't create two damn paragraphs without a JS framework.

If you throw a heavy JS framework on a website, make sure the content is at least as heavy. If the content is two paragraphs of text, why would you disappoint users so much when they visit from mobile?
Can you explain the Git thing? It keeps coming up but I've never heard of an English word "git." I looked it up and it seems it exists, but is it common? I've lived in this country for 30 years and have never heard it in a nib-technical context.

Freemasonry isn't pagan in any major sense. It's pretty solidly Abrahamic, and parts of it are explicitly Christian. The closest you'll get to paganism is a continuation of themes and symbolism which are shared in common between ancient cultures.

In principle, the debt market charges rates that are commensurate with the risk of repayment. Some studies[0] show a relatively high default rate for payday loans. Moreover, the people who borrow from these facilities likely have very poor credit scores.

That's not a comment on the fairness of the rate charged. But if there is a sufficient amount of competition among lenders, and they were effectively regulated and monitored, we could expect their rates are enough to allow them to make a reasonable profit in spite of the risk of default.

My understanding was that it was the icing on the cake to Huet. I'm still not sure that changes much.
It's no real argument that cars will always win the day on the edge cases, though the real question is whether we should be designing our cities to accomodate the edge cases for the majority cases. The majority of transportation uses are much more mundane and can be well served by active transportation and public transportation.

For example creating a bus route to the base of the mountain so that hikers and snowshoers can access the wilderness is a big win for the public at large, but nonetheless there will always be a group of enthusiasts that want go on a further flung mountain hike, and they'll need to use a car to get there. Doesn't mean it wasn't a good idea to create the infrastructure that accommodates the bigger group.

Building big expensive concrete car lots, assuming everyone has a car, is an example of building for the edge case. In Vancouver, a city that has done not a bad job of building protected bike lanes, there's data out now to support that the parking lots that it has mandated in new apartment buildings are in fact overbuilt, under utilized and part vacant!
If you think we're meeting to 'bang out some code' then you're very much mistaken. Vastly less code gets written than during a normal working week; the on-sites are about spending time with your colleagues in meatspace. We have a loose schedule with meeting slots for teams/SIGs etc, but the emphasis is strongly on socialising.
I gave it a shot on Android, but the fact that it doesn't support userscripts (Greasemonkey), it makes old.reddit.com unreadable. For some reason Chrome increases the font size for that site, whereas on Firefox I have very tiny text and constantly have to zoom in. As I mostly read reddit/hacker news on my phone I had to drop Firefox on Android :(

That's interesting, because of the scientists featured in the above article... None of them are virologists.

Petrovsky, for instance, if you look at his google scholar, hasn't published a paper in a virology journal in the 10 years that I looked. He's published in some predatory journals, ones I wouldn't be caught dead publishing in.

He's also gotten /close/, I guess, by publishing about tuberculosis. But it really is different and the man clearly has never done any viral biosafety work or worked or supervised work in any secure facilities working with viruses.

If he did, I think he might be more cautious about being so cavalier with the probabilities here.

David Relman studies the gut microbiome.

I have no reason to believe you're a virologist with any training other than your word, but that isn't actually all that important to my argument.

Using viruses in your research doesn't make you a virologist any more than using pens in an art school thesis makes you an expert in ballpoint pens.

All of that aside, the consensus among people who actually use or study dangerous viruses in biosafety labs (both those for and against gain of function research, btw) is that the virus likely came from a wild zoonotic crossover event.

Not a malicious lab leak.
Thanks for the explanation. Interesting to compare to Australia, which has a public health system, but where I still pay ~AUD2960/year, after government rebates (at current rates ~USD2255/year) for moderately crap health insurance for my family even with no medical usage.

In general, we wouldn't even use it to access private health care, because we would then face substantial fees to use it (I don't know exactly; it varies significantly by procedure, has a $500 deductible, substantial copay, and has maximum caps), however we're taxed heavily for not having a private policy.

Our family income has recently pushed over some thresholds in the rebate system, pushing up prices even more, might have to shop around to find an even more useless but cheaper policy.

Australia's public health system is pretty decent, but the half baked private system bolted on the side is a mess. Lots of people paying thousands for unusable insurance which is just sent directly to private companies.
We’ll see in trial, but based on this article it doesn’t look like the FBI groomed this guy to commit a crime, but someone handed him off to an undercover agent after he was intent on doing it. That’s nice to see.

“Lots of people would be turned off a remedy just because it's 'not medicine', even afterward it was proven scientifically.” Not sure when that has actually happened?

Willow bark to aspirin is a great example of an extremely old “traditional” treatment becoming medicine. Same with quinine for malaria, etc. Tons of real medicines originated by isolating compounds found in nature, even if the final pill form you see is purified or even synthetic. Most people are unaware or just fine with this fact. Sure there are probably many natural treatments out there that are effective (and many that aren’t, or are downright dangerous). We should do the work needed to study them scientifically, and turn the good ones into medicine. Not just promote alternative treatments indiscriminately.
Modern day African immigrants tend to be college-educated professionals. It's an incredibly slanted sample set.
It's worth electrifying truck transport because truck engines have to be reasonably compact and trucks generally don't go far from the electrical grid so can recharge whenever necessary (and possibly in future while driving).

For a container ship this is inverted, so I'd expect CO2-neutral shipping to use minimally-processed biofuel in a turbine power plant. Or nuclear, of course.
Privacy considerations aside, containers are great for using multiple AWS accounts simultaneously. Since we use an AWS account as a deployment container, it’s typical to have 10s of different accounts you have to jump between and it’s just not possible to effectively do ops with another browser.

Yet on Google's other large ecosystem (Android), they will happily let apps collect way more private data than this with zero limits in the name of user freedom. In both cases, they made the decision that best serves the company bottom line, nothing more.
Surely the easier and better solution is to just give the driver a one star rating, rather than confusing anyone who has ever heard of coq and missed the re-naming. The costs you are inflicting on the software industry are very large when added up, for no good reason (people have to deal with dumb/ annoying taxi drivers all the time).
Don't know if this is your issue, but it could be Enhanced Tracking Protection -- I have it turned up pretty high in Firefox and find that a lot of sites won't work until I turn it off. One example seems to be sites that use "Google Tag Manager."
Not quite - this time it seems like the person was already stating they were planning to blow up the data centers. Slightly different from the other FBI idiocies which are closer to "this person said they hate amazon, lets radicalize them until they want a bomb"

> "Unlimited PTO" isn't unlimited, and is a bad deal for the employee in all ways.

Then work for a company with fixed PTO. There are plenty of these; the vast majority, actually. Why are you so hell-bent on denying that choice to people who wish otherwise? Even worse, you're telling these people that they are wrong and that unlimited PTO cannot possibly be a good fit for them. How can you expect people not to disagree when they have first-hand experience of the contrary?
On recipe blogs, you are probably not looking at the actual author monetizing. Rather, someone decided to create a copycat website, hire a minimum-wage content writer off a freelancing platform to rewrite the original text so that no copyright violation is apparent, and then they put the copycat website up with a boatload of advertising and SEO. The 15 paragraphs are an SEO trick, as Google gives higher weight to longform text.

This ecosystem is now so advanced that new copycat recipe sites are based on existing copycat sites. You can easily tell if a recipe website is a copycat by comparing the supposed author bio to the quality of the English. If the author bio claims these are recipes by a born and bred Louisiana native who wants to share Southern cooking with the world, but the actual text is full of grammatical mistakes typical of Eastern Europeans or South/Southeast Asians, it is clearly a rewritten copycat site.
That depends. It probably is, to some extent, but you either consented to this or it qualifies as essential to deliver the service. I suspect you could get it from the vendor by sending them a strongly worded letter, but a DSAR (data subject access request) isn't exactly an API call. GDPR cares about how your data is being collected and processed, not about interoperability. We need separate regulation to force service interoperability and a separation between hardware and services, so that they can be interchangeable.

Spotify employees seem to have no issue with songs about killing police, assaulting women, bashing gays etc. Just listen to a mainstream rapper like Eminem and there is plenty to get offended about, if they cared too.

A tame lyric for example:

Bitch I’ll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice, like Ray Rice in broad daylight in the plain sight of the elevator surveillance/’Til her head is banging on the railing, then celebrate with the Ravens.”
So fitting for this website.
You only have five seconds to process the entire request. If your lambda has to make a request to download a sqlite database every time, and the process it, it probably needs to be small enough to fit into 1MB anyway.
Not to mention the many hours or days of being stumped. This sort of victory typically doesn't happen overnight.

What bugs me about companies like NV is that if they just sold their hardware and published the specs they'd probably sell more than with all this ridiculously locked down nonsense, it is just a lot of work thrown at limiting your customers and protecting a broken business model.

Your comment makes me think of when they first designed jet cockpits for pilots. It was expensive to modify the planes, so they designed it to the 'average' person.

The result is that no one fit in it.

Expectations that other people can perform like you do if they just put their mind to it is so blind to the reality of human experience that it's hard to respond.

You're right, I jumped to conclusions in the last paragraph. I definitely shouldn't assume people are wired the same. I myself am not exactly "neurotypical", so I know it first-hand.

So I'll revise my position to: based on my personal experience, observing people I know and general impression I get from reading and hearing things, I believe there is a non-trivial subset of the population, of which I'm a member, that has a sort of subconscious intuition for Chesterton's fence, and do not, by default, take problems at face value.
Heh, well, I agree actually. I read somewhere that books are like food -- you enjoy them now and don't care about not remembering them in the future.

But the point that I was trying to make (I'm the author of the article) is that I actually had no clue what I read, even though I read it like days ago. And I think that's crap, honestly :) Especially given the type of the book that I was referring to.

AWS is quite expensive, but I don't think they actually raise prices much if ever. At worst, they just don't lower prices as quickly as Moore's law decreases their costs.

Hey author of reloading here - cool to see this mentioned. Would love to know how reloading could be more usable for you.

It's also a mistake to think that people are static. We can improve ourselves through the expenditure of effort. The reality is like the parent said: there are limits to everybody's abilities, but you'll probably have to work hard as hell to reach yours (not targeting you personally, the general case "you"). If you believe that your present abilities are all you'll ever have then you're wasting what could be tremendous potential out of false self imposed limitations.

Traditionally, opioids/opiates kill via mu-opioid receptor agonism, which is why administration of a mu-opioid antagonist (Naloxone, brand name Narcan) is the first line of defense for avoiding mortality. However Fentanyl is unique in that respiratory depression isn't the only major cause of death, but noradrenergic and cholinergic mechanisms down-stream of the mu-opioid agonism can cause Wooden Chest Syndrome which can lead to cardiopulmonary arrest.

This has relevant implications for first-responders since this is generally only known in the anesthesiology community.
