FWIW, most of what happens with the unique subdomains is done with the intention of automatically routing you to the nearest edge/pop that has the best chance of either having the asset cached, or in the best location for routing your request to a datacenter that can serve the asset from disk. By generating the seemingly random subdomains when serving the metadata to the client, it can most efficiently fetch the media to be displayed. It's entirely possible (likely?) that multiple users in the same ISP/location to be vended the same subdomain/url, but physically/topologically distant users will get different urls.
> I'm using it to mean 'absolute doubt', the act of questioning something to the core with no presupposition.

I alluded to that toward the end of my reply. A non-Muslim may start off with that presumption until he is convinced that Islam is the truth, at which point he accepts it. Once the foundation is set, it does not make sense to keep that doubt or skepticism around any longer. Why accept the religion otherwise?

> Science cannot make such statements of certainty

God is outside the realms of time and space, which are the domains of science. It is a non-question to attempt to answer philosophical and religious questions through (experimental) science.

Furthermore, it's a fallacy to break up the world into "science" and "religion". Which religion are you talking about?

> Science allows restructuring its own foundation

I don't see how that has anything to do with the subject matter, or that it is indicative that science is somehow the absolute truth, or even leads to it.

The foundations of Islam are the Quran and Hadith. Islam has immutable and axiomatic principles (e.g. God is one, Muslims have to pray 5 times a day, the Hijri year is 12 months and follows a lunar system, etc.), some other aspects are open to interpretation (contingent on having a proper scholarly background of course - a layperson cannot interpret as he/she wishes), while other aspects are left open for society to decide as per its needs and evolution of time. I read that Muslim scholars hundreds of years ago derived rulings for how to pray if we were to fly one day - they were that forward thinking, and today we have airplanes.

The problem with SSR, as I understand it according to this article, is that it still removed native link handling from clicks, resulting in the need to override all the basics with bulky JavaScript that doesn't load until some time after rendering.

> many people will come out of the woodwork to say that they really did believe it was hopeless the whole time, but that declaring it was hopeless before the consequences happened would have been labeled counterproductive for the people that did not believe so

I believe this is the case, although it's becoming an increasingly indefensible position. The writing has been on the wall for a decade, and the false-hope strategy is clearly not working.
The layout system is declarative (with escape hatch to looping and conditionals), and so is the finite state machine syntax DSL inside, and the regular expression syntax (a novel reformulation).

But the nicest feature, invisible in the syntax because it is a property of the runtime under the hood, is that when you change your mutable state, any layout that used those variables is automatically scheduled for refresh. You thus declare what is on the screen, and how it is arrange, and the system knows what to do. In this sense it more like SQL, where you give it a goal, and don't specify the ordering of how to achieve the task.

There are also mini-solvers built into the language for the common tasks of solving for rectangles and points, which are quite handy.

Yes they were, NIH grants went to WIV. Here is a government science website saying as much: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/search/research-news/9563/

It went through a non-profit, but trust me there is careful accounting of where money goes with NIH grants, there is no way the government was not aware that some of it's money was funding research at WIV. Especially because they suspended the funding once COVID blew up, per that article.

The commenter was implying the info didn't come from real intelligence but is actually a fabricated leak. I saw the other reply about Iraq and thought the implication was the US wanted to mislead about this, but it indeed could be another country.

I mean, the OP article is literally about the "mainstream media" dismissing a valid hypothesis because they don't like Tom Cotton.
I wanted to add -- the two most compelling pieces of information I've seen that make the lab accident theory more plausible to me are:
1) The verified existence of the bat-originating corona virus that killed 3 miners with Pneumonia some years ago being housed/researched in the WIV
2) David Baltimore of Cal Tech's remark ""When I first saw the furin cleavage site in the viral sequence, with its arginine codons, I said to my wife it was the smoking gun for the origin of the virus. These features make a powerful challenge to the idea of a natural origin for SARS2"
There’s only a spec of difference. I don’t know anyone suggesting that the lab leak was of a natural origin. The theory is that the lab created the virus and it leaked.
> What's wrong with it being a lovely experience?

It shouldn't be a priority. At all. If it happens to also be a lovely experience, that's of course fine. But it's not something to plan around when it significantly reduces the chance of everyone being safe.

They didn't have a hospital birth, so no. It's not a box that was sufficiently ticked.

This is like buying a two seater sports car and putting your child's car seat up front. It might be more enjoyable for you, and it'll probably be fine most of the time, but it's significantly more dangerous for your child.

My post might sound harsh, but continuing to spout the "benefits" of a home birth is just plain dangerous when the facts don't support safety. I feel the harshness is appropriate.

Absolutely. All the features you mentioned are standard and work independently of Autopilot [0]

It probably has the best and most intuitive lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, blind spot alerts, collision detection warnings, etc. out there (at least from the cars I've driven). For example, other intelligent cruise control systems I've used will rigidly and aggressively maintain a fixed distance from the car in front of you, like a robot--with only 3 options: awful tail gating, kind of acceptable, and piss everyone else off as you stay a mile away.

Whereas Telsa's have some 8 levels of distance options--easily adjustable by pushing the right steering wheel button left or right, which shows a visual indicator on the screen. And more importantly, it isn't some rigid algorithm that will "always maintain 8 car lengths", instead its behavior is based on current conditions.

Autopilot is a fantastic driver-assist tool, and makes driving so much more enjoyable and less stressful. Part of the problem is that even technically inclined people, as witnessed here, have trouble with the distinction between "Full Self Driving", and "Autopilot". Autopilot is basically cruise control with steering. If you wouldn't use cruise control normally, certainly don't use Autopilot. And when using it, keep your hands on the wheel, and be prepared to take control immediately, just like it says--especially whenever there's an upcoming change to road conditions (e.g. a new lane appears, an intersection, a merger, etc).

It's also really easy to take control if it starts to veer into, say, another lane that appears. When I first got a Model Y in January, there were a couple places on my daily drive where it'd tend to rather aggressively steer into an an emerging turn lane with poor/non-existent markings. However, it would ultimately make the right decision, even if it was a little unnerving.

But with the latest software updates, those edge cases have been addressed; at most, it'll gently and momentarily steer in that direction, and then gracefully correct to maintain its previous heading (as you'd expect).

Autopilot doesn't have a detailed understanding of the road path, stop signs, intersections, etc. It's literally just using onboard sensors to figure out its surroundings.

Full Self Driving is a totally different animal.

And I think everyone would agree that Telsa has done a rather poor job communicating these distinctions and limitations.

Agreed. The sailors' claim is strong evidence that the voyage really happened. The fact that Herodotus doubts the claim shows that people were likely to doubt it, and so it's not the kind of thing someone would have made up. The only reason for the sailors to make such a potentially-discrediting claim is that it is true.

Why is that disastrous, given that you have to be obsessed and highly risk tolerant to found a new moonshot company? That's why men are more common here. It's not some conspiracy. They are simply more likely to be obsessed, unbalanced and take on risk. Crazy, if you like. See also the most dangerous jobs, and a curious lack of concern about those being dominated by men.

VCs don't care about gender or any other irrelevant attribute one bit when investing and that notion is simply absurd. Just as absurd as thinking that prisons are biased against women as a way to explain why it's mostly men in jail.

What's interesting is that we already know it's going to result in economic contraction, loss of profits, and general instability in the financial sphere. So we already know that tacking it will be profitable in the long run versus the alternative.

Perhaps the conversation needs to center on how to factor the long view into capitalism. Because in my view it is pretty shit at that, with often short term profits favoured over long term and the effects of that being felt long term.

Right now our intervention option looks like direct intervention to make things less profitable in the near term, and then we run into the problem of democracy also favouring short-term popularity over long-term stewardship and the immediate pains it bring to voters.
Intra country results can be challenging as who chooses a home birth & who goes to the hospital is already a likely biased population. Maybe the pregnancy is already known to be an at-risk factor, thus biasing things. Or choosing one vs the other may be a confounding socioeconomic factor.

If it's this hard for intra country comparisons, why would one expect inter country comparisons, where one country has socialized medicine & the other doesn't, to meaningfully reflect the specific policies around child birth vs the larger differences between societies?

I don't know the answer, but I don't think simply comparing mortality rates can be used to conclude "natural home birth is safer".

I see a very different dynamic reading the article. Remember, at the time this all happened Trump was still very publicly backing the Chinese government's response. Tom Cotton was very much bucking the party line in calling the CCP liars.

What I see over and over throughout all of this is repeated conflation of "lab-leaked" and "man-made".

Tom Cotton absolutely never even insinuated that the virus was man-made, only that a china was lying about the market and that a lab leak was a possible origin

This distinction was quickly lost, but it is not clear that was due to malice or even partisanship. In this very article, with the benedit of hind site, the author repeatedly conflates the two an switches which concept is being discussed.

At the time there was no basis to reject the lab-leak theory. There was at the time some preliminary basis to reject the man-made hypothesis. As far as I cam tell, we are just really bad at protraying any nuance when all the incentives reward sensationalizing everything.
I don't get it? In a DFA there's no way to store "the value of a capture group" because each state may have multiple values for any capture group, depending on how it was reached.

WAIT, I think what you've built is NOT a DFA, but an NDFA! Your code has multiple states active at once, and it just tests them all! Ok, now it all makes sense.

In a DFA, it's common for a state to have multiple values for capture groups. For example in /(a*)a*/, state 1 is "in the first loop, or in the second loop with \1={0,0}" and state 2 is "in the first loop, in the second loop with \1={0,0}, or in the second loop with \1={0,1}". So the second state has multiple simultaneous values for group 1; this is why tagged-DFAs usually need more "tags" than there are capture groups and that's why I was asking.

Ok James Damore.
MOND theories etc. like this has fallen kind of out of favor because it’s just so hard to adapt our theory of gravity to resolve this.

It’s surprising how often this topic pops up. I think it’s based on a misjudgment that simply missing something in gravity follows Occams Razor better but it actually seems to be the opposite.

I think the killer is that dark matter seems to not just hold galaxies together (given their “too high” rotational speeds), but also clump together, and also sometimes be missing in galaxies and other times overwhelm galaxies.

It’s super hard to adapt the well proven theory of gravity to especially localized phenomena.
