I never understood how to use ASDF properly. It seems like it expects me to put all my projects under a central location, like what Go requires (used to require?), which is extremely annoying.
I believe that my example demonstrates the contradiction in the rules.

I’d be willing to bet that when this case goes to trial a similar example will be used - perhaps the I-35 bridge collapse for which a design flaw was ultimately identified as a major factor in the collapse. The state will have to admit that a professional engineer is obligated to speak up about problems in design, which is exactly what they are seeking to punish him for. This isn’t going to end well for Minnesota.

After my J&J shot, for weeks, my legs and feet would frequently feel “asleep.” Especially on waking but often during the day as well. The effect seems to have diminished (and I think mostly resolved) ~6 weeks later. No idea if it’s related to this.

(This is on top of the usual reaction of chills/fatigue the first night or two. I will say the fatigue seemed to go on for a while at some modestly higher than usual baseline but I can’t really quantify it or prove it. )

> We have people who study at university X, do their exams at university X, do their Ph.D. at university X under the same professors they always knew, then become postdocs working for their former supervisors and being exploited by them

Independent of every other point, this is in my point of view a real problem. It happens so often and I don't understand why there's often no law that at least a postdoc at another institution has to be done.
You are the arbiter. Does the theory hold water? Is there evidence to support it? Is it self-consistent? Conspiracy theories often times fail under scrutiny because for example the amount of people they would involve. Think about the flat earth conspiracy: it would require that every airline pilot, every sailor, every satellite image processor, etc. all be in on the theory. It would only take one of them to show us photo/video/etc. evidence that the earth is in fact flat. And this isn’t just today but over thousands of years. Someone would have come forward by now. I believe there is even a formula for how much time it takes for someone to blow the whistle based on the size of the conspiracy. I think it estimated that the fake moon landing would have become public knowledge within four years.

As for origins of COVID, I personally believe there is a good chance it came from bats, but also a good chance that it came from a lab experiment that had accidentally escaped. The theory that it was deliberately developed as a bio weapon or that it was released on purpose does not seem to hold water as there are no clear plausible beneficiaries of that action.

My understanding is that the proteins in the others have the potential to interact similarly with the ACE2 mechanism but were not evaluated.

The problem it is not very useful if we don't know how it happened. The Wuhan lab is already highest security, and in fact, higher security than what was required for coronaviruses. I guess they already thought of the "generic" security measures.

For example, you will not take the same action if it is the result of someone intentionally taking the virus out or if there is something wrong with the ventilation system. And addressing both "just to be safe" will not help much it waste management turned out to be the problem.

>> The response to "conspiracy theories" is: show us your proof

No, the response was to ridicule people making those arguments and to censor them.

Like Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post telling Ted Cruz last May:

"I fear @tedcruz missed the scientific animation in the video that shows how it is virtually impossible for this virus jump from the lab. Or the many interviews with actual scientists. We deal in facts, and viewers can judge for themselves."

Or like "Twitter bans Chinese virologist claiming that coronavirus was made in a lab".

As usual, best summed up by the Babylon Bee:

"World-renowned fact-checking website Snopes has unveiled a brand new fact check rating called "False For Now." This will allow them to provide a rating for claims that are just conspiracy theories uttered by deranged far-right people until they later turn out to be true".

> the last thing we need is science blamed for this virus.

I think this is the primary reason so many virologists are against the lab-leak idea. It's not because they think it's unlikely, but because if people were aware of how dangerous this research was the funding would dry up and it might even get banned.
> I can tell you that the ultimate starting point for their dataset is usually a state voter registration database.

Right on the money. I worked for a company that sold this data to whoever paid them .

Telemetry is the in situ collection of measurements or other data at remote points and their automatic transmission to receiving equipment (telecommunication) for monitoring. The word is derived from the Greek roots tele, "remote", and metron, "measure".

Why name it the precise thing that it literally is?

Telemetry is used everywhere: rockets, drones, airplanes, boats, water meters, microservices, applications, and yes spyware, bots, viruses, and keyloggers. All spyware is telemetry by definition: "remote measuring." Not all telemetry is spyware.
Yes, a fair comparison and contrast to help choose between two libraries or frameworks is extremely helpful, but those are pretty much not allowed.

> But to be fair, some unions actually end up helping companies...

When I was in college I worked for a roofing company where there actually seemed to be a pretty healthy relationship between the local unions and the companies employing their members. The unions ran a great apprenticeship program, were super strict on safety, and seemed to have a reputation in the area for doing good work. This meant that companies had a good idea what they were getting when they paid the premium for a journeyman. My impression was that being a "union shop" was a differentiator for businesses and that there were plenty of customers that were willing to pay more for the confidence that things would be done right.

Of course the common complaint for a situation like this is that you end up with journeymen who abuse their position and don't meet the standards they are supposed to, but I didn't seem much of this. I got the impression that the union did a pretty good job of keeping their members in line, especially when it came to safety infractions.

It's a shame that this doesn't seem to be more common. It was an amazing program since if you could land an apprenticeship (and they were desperate for people) you could theoretically climb the ladder from poverty to the middle class in 5 years.

You made that claim several time, but still provided literally no evidence, just a lot of handwaving and careful avoidance of any sort of concrete point.

> I don't think of those as comparable features.

> Reflection is more or less an alternative way to accomplish many of the same things that you get with macros in Rust.

They go together e.g. where Go uses reflection, Rust uses Derive or manually implemented traits and generic functions working with those traits. JSON is a pretty obvious example there.

> I'm talking about the fact that some library authors seem to avoid &dyn like it were poisonous, even if it makes total sense and would make large chunks of your library monomorphic.

I would not necessarily disagree with that although I would word it more kindly: since generics always work, they're the default, as a result dynamic dispatch is a fallback when either you must have dynamic dispatch or someone pointed out that the static dispatch was less than optimal (which can be impossible to find out through microbenchmarks).

Plus `&dyn` means you're now restricted to borrow-ability, and `Box<dyn>` incurs allocation costs. Generic function skip both concerns.

> Civilians are unfortunately caught in the crossfire.

Not a crossfire, but a very directed one. It's critical to such regimes to never let anything the West does happen without it hitting their own civilians.

If the population see Western sanctions benefiting them, and visibly harming the regime, people will be ready to take bigger sacrifices, knowing that the regime will loose much more than they do.

It is equally critical for the West to communicate loud, and clear to Belarusian people that they are doing those actions to support their resistance, and not just because they want to hit Lukasenka.

I have been continually bothered that "escaped from a lab" is allowed to carry hints that this is an 'experimental' or other modified form of the virus.

Why does lab-origin reporting not come with a bright line between an engineered virus and samples collected for study?
The union's power comes from turning individual workers into a group. In order to have collective bargaining power, inidividuals will have to sacrifice some of their freedoms. This is not a problem if all employees want the same things. For example, unions can demand higher pay and better hours because no individual worker will accept working in worse conditions. In this case, the workers sacrifice the freedom to accept a job that isn't up to standard. If there are no other workers available to supply the corporation's demand, it is forced to raise pay and lower hours.

I would argue having zero leverage against rich corporations is always worse than sacrificing a few freedoms. In some cases though workers don't actually agree on what they want. This means the workers are not actually united in their cause and the union of course breaks down.

You wrote: "I've long been dreaming about IDE/editor feature that would let you inline code for viewing, without actually changing it." That sounds like a great idea! That might be useful for both the writer and reader. It might be possible to build something like using the libraries that Clang provides, but it would be a huge feat -- like a master's or part of a PhD.

You also wrote: "Visual Studio in particular would happily crash for me every other day..." Have you tried CLion by JetBrains? (Usually, they have a free 30-day trial.) I have not used it for enterprise-large projects, but I have used it for a few personal projects. It is excellent. The pace of progress (new features in "code sensing") is impressive. If you find bugs, you can report them and they usually fix them. (They have fixed about 50% of the bugs I have raised about their products over the last 5 years. An impressive clearance rate!)

All choices have effects. If you are suffering mentally due to your activities and cutting out causes "social suffering", surely it is an active choice where you decide one is greater than the other?? And even more so in the case of your mental health - what's more important, your mental health or seeing photos of your friend's dog?

What even is "suffering socially"? If I am an alcoholic and decide to quit drinking, is it the local pub's fault if I won't see my friends again? I am surely "suffering socially" as all my friends are at the pub.

An individual's actions weigh on that individual alone. I don't see how you could say otherwise? If I walk out of a room of people, who else should it weigh on? I walked out of the room.

If I leave the local bowling club, is it their fault I won't see them as often? I quit the bowling club, not the other way around.

You are right that some things are interwoven but they are not mandatory. People survived in the 1980s without the Internet, without Facebook and without Instagram. How did they ever manage??

Or are you saying that I need to use Instagram to be able to live a normal life? If so, I don't exist because I don't have an Instagram account. And that was a deliberate decision - it weighed on me alone.

If we replaced the word "Instagram" with "AOL", you can see how faddish such "necessary" tech is and how blown-out-of-proportion the issues with not having an account are. Imagine the horror of not being on AOL in the 90s... yet people survived. Or replace "Instagram" with "Bebo" or "MySpace" - is it still necessary to have such things??

According to Morales, no Viennese authorities boarded to plane, and in any case it's a bit of a moot point - after all Morales may well have cooperated well beyond what was required; after all, he had no reason to prevent transparency here, and indeed it's a PR win for his anti-imperialist cause if he can demonstrate the US and its allies are essentially bullies.

Assuming he intended to fly to the azores to refuel, he should have had enough fuel to fly back to Moscow too. The austrian air traffic control did not induce him to land; he chose to do so when portugal refused refueling rights and a small number of countries did not immediate grant permission to fly over their territory (but according to France, once it became clear it was Morales's plane they did, so... somebody is being economical with the truth there).

In any case, even without air refueling it would have been extremely unlikely that the 900EX only had enough fuel for the around 3000km to Vienna as opposed to the 8000km it could carry when the overall trip is around 15000km. Almost certainly Morales had his pick of airports to land at, including Moscow, Basel, perhaps Turkey or Egypt or who knows where.

There is clear evidence Morales' plane could not follow its original flight plan nor fly without any refueling all the way to La Paz; but there is no evidence he couldn't have chosen to avoid landing in the EU if he had wanted to. But... he didn't want to avoid that; he wanted to make the point that the US is imperialist.

And that's fine! I don't begrudge him that. But it's just an entirely different story to the Belarusian abduction of a journalist by temporarily kidnapping an entire civilian plane. Those aren't at all the same, and claims in this discussion thread to the contrary seem like strained attempts at whataboutism; presenting the US government as not just having its own flaws, but having equivalent flaws to Belarusian dictatorships' flaws. At that point, it seems like people are living in some kind of alternate reality they've imagined to suit their predetermined world view.
