I would shift the blame back to Reddit here, because they exposed data to mods that are completely unrelated to the subreddit. Another problem is the non-existing appeal process.
We are getting too deep into irrelevant things. We don't know how much of Anobit IP was used in M1 macs; they may own it, but they might not use it all. They purchase their NAND and it may be not compatible with the current gen, just like when it was not compatible with Samsung's V-NAND/3D TLC.

In practice, the I/O performance of M1-based Macs is comparable to random PCIE 3.0 NVMe drive. (I'm typing this comment on M1 MBP, I'm well aware how it performs).
I can’t help but be excited by the possibilities of tech like Planet, so many interesting applications for their data.
Looks amazing. Not sure how to trust them to ship it, though. The price seems impossibly low.
Totally. We’re so much better off with an elite, preferably rich, class that constantly tweaks policy for their own profit.

Indeed, this type of carelessness adds to the inherent danger of researching highly infectious diseases. Labs leak all the time, for example the original SARS escaped from labs at least three times [1]:

> The recent announcement of nine cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome linked to China's National Institute of Virology brings to three the number of lab outbreaks of the disease in the past eight months.

It's also happened dozens of times in the US, UK, and former Soviet Union. Tuberculosis, Smallpox, various flu viruses have all escaped from "secure" labs. [2] [3]

Maybe studying viruses isn't as safe as we thought.

Many of the logical fallacies are logical fallacies from an Aristotelian perspective of statements that are either True or False, and nothing in between. "True" is a high bar.

Many of them dissolve when treated correctly with something like a Bayesian analysis. [1] This is one of them. Absence of evidence is, in fact, evidence of absence, contrary to the frequent assertions otherwise. It just isn't proof. The strength of the evidence is proportional to the amount of the possibility space searched and the quality of that search.

It is not fallacious to observe that our normally-successful efforts to find a natural cause failing raises the probabilities of the remaining explanations, and that of those possibilities, "lab origin" has a lot of the remaining probability. It doesn't mean that natural origin is disproved, nor did it mean any of the other possibilities are certain, but it is valid to adjust ones probability estimates.

(I've also learned from experience a lot of people will read this as being critical of the Aristotelian perspective or something. I am not. It is a valid logic. There are other valid logics. Many of them are more practically useful than rigid True and False, but Aristotelian logic, like Newtonian physics, is still a very important one to understand as it serves as an important limiting case for many other more complicated logics.)

[1]: This is not a position statement on Bayesian vs. frequentist.
I think it is the fault of Hamas, which derailed the peace process 15 years ago after running a political campaign that delegitimized the peace process itself (they claimed that it was actually terrorism, not diplomacy and negotiated deals, that had caused the Israelis to withdraw from Gaza). As I said, their first move after taking control of Gaza was to murder political opponents. They fought a civil war against Fatah that almost caused a total collapse of the PA, and ever since the PA has been barely functional.

No, I didn't misunderstand your point. I understand the distinction you're making between Spotify and Netflix in terms of how subscriptions are motivated. My post is about the distinction based on recurring versus fixed costs.

My footnote is not part of my argument. It's only meant as a clarification for which types of applications (not services) I'm discussing. You also mistake what I mean by 'basic functionality'. I maybe should have said required functionality. Spotify is perfectly usable without download, skip, or bitrate. Instead, I'm talking about applications like an RSS reader (again, an application only, not an online service) that will only show you sample feeds if you're not subscribed.
You're probably missing this listing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependen...

Where Gaza listed as its own country, it would be one of the densest, since it's basically a city and its urban sprawl and nothing more (like the other densest entries on the list). Of course, Gaza is itself arguably only part of Palestine, but the West Bank itself is pretty dense (see how high Palestine ranks on that list).
You don't believe data can be manufactured/erased to tell a story if someone is willing to? There is enough time as well to generate a new trail of breadcrumbs.

I don't think we will get the true answer or an answer that is going to satisfy everyone, just a lot of geopolitical posturing.
Exactly. Stealing money from big corporations is arguably less evil use of talent than enabling most of said corporations.
I'm not sure I follow the logic. If China is so good at keeping people quiet, how do you know? Sounds to me that for us to know they have to be less than good at it?
I was talking about a two "node" Mongo setup which would mirror the capabilities of a classic two node setup of Oracle RAC for example. Since in Mongo this is not a clear 1:1 match due to a different model of operation, in order to get the same performance/continuity as RAC here is what I mean.

If I want to gain a relative 100% increase in concurrent read/write access and transparent session failover to my application I have to procure two servers(with roughly the same performance lets put it at rawPerf=1.0 for simplicity) and a SAN/NAS with SCSI HBA and that would be it. All the necessary components will be running on those two servers and the application will have access to almost all capabilities of a single instance with a roughly twice the performance and fault tolerance. To do that in Mongo, I would have to procure 2 replica sets with 3 instances each(bare minimum to get the fault tolerance and not use arbiters which according to Mongo University is a bad idea) for the actual data and another RS for the configuration meta-data, which is another 3 instances. I will also need instances where I can run my "mongos" to route/consolidate my requests and to have fault tolerance I will need at least two of those. Now to do a break down of the different instances. From the two replica sets for data, I can use only 2 of the instances for writes and the remaining four only for consistent reads and that is only with the appropriate write concern. And while I have two instances for writes I am not guaranteed to get a consistent increase in write operations unless the data is at least somewhat evenly distributed. I will need six rawPerf 0.5 servers(assuming 0.5 rawPerf is capable to handle roughly half the data), that is a total of 3.0 so far. The configuration RS while not as demanding as the actual data RS will still require resources so I count it as roughly between 0.5-1.0 total for all three instances. And finally I have the "mongos" instances which although will not need disk space will need some CPU and the same amount of RAM as a regular instance in case the queries and not optimized, so I will have to give it 0.5 per instance. And the total amount of resources comes to 3.0+0.5+1.0=4.5. On the other hand with the Oracle RAC I would've needed 2.0.

As for the schema flexibility, from the Mongo documentation I take it that once the shard key is created it can't be changed arbitrarily. It can only be further fine-grained by adding more keys to it, however this is available from version 4.4. In order to change it cardinally, I would have to recreate the collection.

I'm sure you are well aware of all this, however I'm just stating my experience with MongoDB so far.

Yes, this happens once in a blue moon. I've bought one album because of this, and the content returned to Spotify within a few weeks of its departure.

It is still, for me, a cheaper and more flexible option despite licensing squabbles. It also gives me the opportunity to find new artists and give albums a few listens before deciding on whether or not they do it for me.

My views are USA-centric, perhaps licensing issues are more prevalent in other countries.
> the lab origin story sounds the most plausible and has the least holes in it

You seem to ignore the fact that there's exactly zero evidence either pro or contra. The fame of the "media person" is the kind of argument you typically see invoked in Facebook and Youtube comments.
So, like warts in C and Go that were not present or fixed in languages a decade or more earlier?
If you win $300, good for you, if you win $430,000, that's even better for you, but the market doesn't really care which way that goes.

However, if you lose $300 that you brought to the table, that's your problem, too bad for you. If you lose $430,000 when you only brought $300 to the table, that's beyond being just your problem, that's the system's problem.

A system which allows this situation to happen is fundamentally flawed, it's vulnerable to exploitation and collapse if this kind of behavior allowed to go on unchecked.

ACM Turing Award is a step against diversity, equity and inclusion
Just an utterly absurd statement, the exact opposite of the truth. Current price increases are due to things like "not enough computer chips", which have absolutely nothing to do with Biden's policies. To the extent that any government action drives wages up, it would cause decreases in inequality, not increases. I honestly feel sorry for people who have their brains damaged by reading nonsense from the WSJ.
Neither. The satellite images are accurate, and so is your GPS readout. What's shifted is the official data that the government provides (eg. location of roads).

Ow, wow. That's like 17th century thinking right there, when we used to hang people for petty theft, executions were a public holiday, folks thought it would deter crime but it stayed sky high.

Also boiling people alive was a thing, and, most egregiously, we overboiled them.

I am willing to bet that you or someone in your family or friends has broken some law somewhere at some point, possibly without realising. I don't think this line of thinking leads to a good place.
Fun story - as a kid in the 80s, I caught pneumonia, and a doctor misplaced the decimal point in my weight and computed a dosage for me that was literally a 10x overdose. Then two nurses both thought they were supposed to give me the shot in question, so I ended up getting a 20x overdose. I spent a week in the hospital.
If it leaked from a lap we need to hold China responsible and ensure that no scientists ever do similar research, under pain of life in any country on earth.

It's not the same thing. Airliners are not filled with explosive gas, they're filled with breathable air. They have these specialized things called "fuel tanks" that are purpose-designed to safely hold combustible fuel.

On the other hand, zeppelins like the Hindenburg were literally just filled with Hydrogen. It was a fundamental part of the design; they hydrogen provided the buoyancy needed for the vessel to float. The vessel and the fuel tank were one and the same. Moreover, there isn't a way to design a hydrogen-based zeppelin that can both use hydrogen for buoyancy and hold it safely; even today containers for gas hydrogen are bulky and heavy. The solution is simply not using hydrogen.
I don't think you need examples of poor decisions to see the problems with direct democracy.

Take Brexit, and let's lay aside the question of whether or not it was a good idea, for the sake of argument let's just acknowledge there were strong feelings on both sides.

The fact that it was a referendum meant that for the sake of a very small margin, an enormous number of people are very unhappy with the result.

And if the government had backtracked on the referendum result, the same issue would apply - in terms of being a united nation we were screwed either way.

In representative democracy, by way of comparison, such a small margin would mean the winner had to tread a very careful line with any legislation they tried to pass, thus in general leading to more reasonable compromise solutions.
> Climate change and the EV transition are going to be tough. That has to be depressing their valuations some.

Does it have to be? I can imagine that going from 100 years[1] of internal combustion engines to an entirely different type of drive train is going to be jarring, to say the least. But neither are EV completely new at this point, nor is a car just its drive train.

Surely other comparable transitions have been successful? Any older computer corporation has more or less reinvented itself a few times. More topically, airplane manufactures must have gone from piston engines to vastly different jet engines at some point[2].

I've built whm [0] also known as WiFi heatmap generator. This project is actually just a week old. For the past few weeks I was searching for a proper tool that can benchmark and profile my Access Point locations at my home. Tried a lot of android and windows apps and got frustrated using them. So I ended up making whm and releasing it to public. The project currently is able to capture metrics like WiFi latency, jitter TCP and UDP bandwidth across iperf3, speedtest and librespeed.

I tried using the paid ones like NetSpot but I preferred more flexibility not to mention their app did not work properly on my Android 11 device and I preferred a more opensource approach.

I tried an open source tool made by Jason Antman called Wifi survey map [1] but it did not have support for multiple APs and does not support speedtest benchmarking.

The blog post uses conventions associated with the machine in question, the BBC Micro, which is an iconic 1980s UK machine. It was pretty much "Disc" back then, e.g. the dreaded "Disc error 0E" from the OS, or the spelling written on the discs themselves, e.g. this Watford Electronics Diagnostics disc:

Not sure if it's a UK thing or a 1980s thing.
How is this the lab origin story more plausible than the original hypothesis that sars-cov2 originated from the wet-markets? Both are places where human and exotic animals closely interact, where sars-cov2 could have jumped. Why do you think the odds of the virus jumping are higher in one place than another?
Palestinians and supporters of their side of the conflict have incentive to exaggerate their plight, as does Israel. When the media is sympathetic to one side (as it has been increasingly and especially during this latest conflict), it will rarely fact check its own. So certain white lies and embellishments are repeated and collectively they distort reporting without necessarily being outright false. This is not unique to reporting on the West Bank. And it's a major problem with US media especially - but you're not likely to find any "reputable" sources on the subject.

How perverse of the New Yorker to omit mention of William C. Chittick in an article regarding Western translation of Mowlana (Rumi) and Shams, and Islam. He is, after all, the definitive and authoritative English translator of Rumi.

I just opened my copy of The Sufi Path of Love by Chittick at random. The chapter is called Attainment to God. Here is (a sample of) Chittick's translation (indentations mine):

Oh rose,

adorn the meadows and laugh
for all to see!
for you had to hide
among the thorns for months.

Oh garden,

nurture well these new arrivals
the tales of whose coming
you had heard
from the thunder.

Oh wind,

make the branches dance
in the remembrance
of the day you wafed
over union.

Behold these trees,
all of them joyful
like a gathering
of the felicitous

Oh violet

why are you bent over
in heartache?

The lily says
to the buds:
though your eyes are closed
they will soon open,
for you you have tasted
of good fortune.

...

I speak of roses, nightingales
and the beauties of the garden
as a pretext.

Why do I do it?
For the sake of Love's Jealousy!

At any rate, I am describing
God's graces.

The pride of Tabriz and the world,
Shams al-Din [Sun of Religion]
has again shown me
favor.

Not really. The machines they want to avoid the most are behind proxies that don't have these sites whitelisted.
Easy to say, but pretty useless on the ground. Which leadership is failing? Who holds whom accountable?

If you, as a leader, will get fired for holding someone accountable to the job (and firing them) and stopping a toxic environment from happening on the team, what then? What if the reason for that is some meta PR corporate reason that makes sense for corporate maybe but not for you and your team?

What if your job includes not causing those larger corporate issues and following the rules of the larger org?

It’s a failure of a large organization, and part of that failure is often making sure there is no one to actually hold accountable in a real way. It sucks. It happens.

Hey! Cool product! I have run many A/B tests in my career, and agree that it really does take ages to get statistically relevant results, and most results don't really pan out at scale.

How do you get A/B test results faster? New math? Or just more BS? ;)
Great that you're working on something similar! How are you finding those tools for handling degraded tape waveforms? I keep bouncing back and forth between hacking up my own vs. wanting to find some existing tool that has some clever math formula.

There is no technological solution to most social problems, and you can hardly expect Reddit to mediate social problems like ban appeals at scale (I mean, you can, but it won't happen for $ reasons).

Most of the big subreddits are co-opted by toxic, power-mad moderators, or completely devoid of moderation entirely. A complete purge & reset wouldn't be a bad idea.
It is absolutely possible and there are plenty of ML and non-ML solutions for this or similar problems.
