The case linked below started off with an attempt at a normal vaginal delivery. Based on your comment, you might think it admirable that the doctors didn't consider doing a c-section and continued to try vaginal deliver for around 60 hours - but then had to do a c-section and the baby had severe brain injury.

"Specifically, the family alleged the hospital did not properly estimate the weight of the fetus, even though the ultrasound estimate was more than the average weight. The family also asserted that the hospital failed in assessing the safety of vaginal delivery, which constituted malpractice. Finally, the family claimed the hospital did not recognize the deteriorating fetal heart rate pattern, which showed decelerations and a rising baseline. The family stated that if the hospital and its staff adhered to the appropriate standard of care, the infant’s injuries could have been prevented.

Through careful monitoring, the physicians would have noted that delivery via cesarean section was viable — and, in fact, the most appropriate option. This is reinforced because despite the administration of labor-inducing drugs, delivery had not occurred after 60 hours. This timing should have concerned the physicians and care providers, and they should have re-evaluated their initial course of treatment. Absent any evidence indicating otherwise, the abnormal 60-hour labor period could easily have injured the fetus. Whether the physicians acted negligently while monitoring the fetus’ heart rate would likely have been a significant material issue in this case. However, the family presented strong evidence that the care providers were negligent based on the totality of the circumstances and obvious disregard of cause for concern."

It's easy to have opinions when you don't have responsibility for people's lives.

> TL;DR lots of conflation of "lab leak" with "man made".

Mixed with media sensationalism and political tribalism...

Actually, the most interesting part of the linked article (IMO) was the suggestion that it actually doesn't matter whether or not it was a lab leak, because nothing will change one way or the other. I would hope that's wrong.
Perhaps I should clarify: rfc9001 normatively refers to rfc9000 (and vice versa). There are cyclical references between RFCs, so there isn't any topological ordering.

It works out because RFCs convey ideas, not code. The authors and editors take care to make sure the cyclical dependencies don't imply circular definitions or other incoherences.
> unloved, unpopular, uncool things like Django, Rails, Laravel

Oh they're loved all right, it's just that they're (all three) very mature, packed with features, easy to pick up and people who work with them don't have a reason to sit around and discuss the tools.

I work for a smaller Rails shop and the atmosphere is just so nice there. We work on small (think $20k) projects for different niche customers, we absolutely reject SPAs (for what we do), we host the apps on cheap VMs, we don't worry about scaling at all, we talk to the clients a lot, we prototype fast and it's all just so easy and even brings good money.

Rails is the no-bullshit way, and definitely the human way.
I still remember the first Wordpress installation, I was in high school, China still had decent connection to outside world, I rented my first VPS, in west coast US, even tho the domain was eventually blocked by the great firewall after a year due to some personal thoughts I posted. But I learnt a lot from it, it’s the first time I tried to read and modify actual code to make things work the way I wanted. Oh and there was a huge community for Wordpress in China, they’d hold those events in top universities in China to talk about Wordpress, PHP, web and technology in general, always wanted to attend. I think things changed now. Exchanging links to each other’s blog was also a huge scene, I still know some of the people, some of them are still blogging, about their lives, kinda like diary, from high school to graduation from college to getting married and having kids.

What is "Russiagate"? What about it was "patently false"?

The Mueller investigation got multiple indictments against Russian nationals. They also obtained convictions of people working in the Trump campaign or administration for election-related offenses. They found evidence of Russian attempts to influence voters in swing states by illegally buying ads on social media. That Russia attempted to meddle in the 2016 elections isn't in doubt - only whether the meddling worked.
Mozilla fired the people working on this because it was not a revenue stream. How is that surprising?

If it’s something that makes someone understand and enjoy their chosen wallpaper preference better is it really useless?

I guess it comes down to your personal interpretation of “usefulness”, but frankly I think you take for granted the amount of detail that you’re able to ascertain from being (presumably) fully sighted.

There’s no reason that someone with any visual disability can’t appreciate a scene with as much detail and intricacy as you can, if it’s adequately conveyed to them.

Words and grammar can be learned and expounded upon, but the description of a scene as “a tree on top of a hill” cannot, so why not err on the side of being overly descriptive for those that can understand, and leave the door open for those that can learn more?
The new evidence is hardly novel. The lab leak theory was always a possibility especially since there was no conclusive evidence otherwise. The other theory, that it came from an animal, was never proven either.

What we did know from the beginning was that there is a lab in Wuhan playing Umbrella Corp with the coronavirus.

Aren't we supposed to shut down arguments presented without evidence? Isn't that what "argument" means?

Explain how you aren't just asking for license to be wrong without challenge here? I mean, when people (the WSJ, notably not the conspiracists) came out with real evidence, we listened!

I'll fully admit, my priors were wrong. This isn't a total dingbat idea, it might have happened. But I think that now, based on better data. I didn't think that then, and nor should you have.

Covid is not lab leak. It is deliberately released virus. Western world hard to accept that how can a govenment release the virus to its own people. But we Chinese do not have this question. Because we had so many lessions, the notorious ones are the 1989 TianAn Meng massacre, and the organ harvest from live people.

When you cannot hold "lab leak" theory, you should ask yourself why PLA's teaching material published in 2015 teaches PLA to attack other countries by using the bio weapon, not having high death rate, but to destroy their medical system and economy.

> Misinformation is bottom up. It still needs to compete with a whole bunch of other ideas and it requires far more effort to spread

Lmao no, the truth needs effort to spread. Because the truth is usually boring and lame.

Lies, misinformation, conspiracy theories are juicy. They make the reader feel smart - either by confirming their biases, or giving them the feeling of being "in" on something that's not widely known. People love being the first to pass on some hot goss to their group.
> the Chinese journalist trying to share it was detained. There was even a github repo linking together all the different leads

OK, no. That's not the evidence people are talking about, even now. That's the garbage that fed the conspiracy theory. Find me a reputable source who's flipped on the garbage. What you're finding is people changing their priors based on good evidence, not deciding to believe garbage.
Maybe so they can claim they've had time to review the information on their own, and determined it's not a conspiracy. If they'd done it sooner they would have been lumped in with Trump supporters, and you can see see people in the comments here saying that they assume that everything he says is racist/lying, so they didn't want internet mobs to claim they're racist too.

I’m newish to wordpress. The Gutenberg block editor is really word presses answer to squarespace( they said so at a talk word camp Boston a couple years ago).

But it still has the ability to just type away and write stuff without ever leaving the keyboard. I think it’s not bad. And it gives the graphic designers some control.

It’s a weird ecosystem though, you need a solid theme to start and finding those is a little hit or miss. Same with plugins, it’s hard to tell the great from the ok sometimes.

Apparently, lots of people want a website builder.

We in the startup culture often forget that the market for building bespoke webapps using the latest and greatest frameworks is only a tiny part of the web. The vast majority of people who order websites just want something that works out of the box, and they want it yesterday.

I don't think anybody is particularly fond of WordPress's medieval internal structure or its byzantine plugin ecosystem. For the time being, though, I'm glad that there exists a well-known, open-source, self-hosted alternative to Wix and Squarespace.

There was a time when lots of people wanted something bloggish. Now that time is over, and WordPress has pivoted accordingly.

>The concept was great, but it has basically become a "website builder" and not really a piece of blogging software anymore.

You can definitely turn it into practically anything, and it quickly becomes a mess due to the fact that it was never meant to be an application platform. But WordPress is still best in class at what it was meant to do; a simple self hosted blog.
If Twitter's so incredibly powerful and important, why is it worth 5% of Facebook or 2% or Amazon (which owns Twitch) or Google (which owns YouTube)? That doesn't sound like a dominant market position to me.

A large proportion of the people you mention are active on multiple platforms. Some of them aren't active on Twitter at all. Twitter does have a particular market niche, but it's only the 16th most popular platform in terms of global active users: https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-net...

And freedom of association is a right that Twitter's owners also have. They are not obliged to serve anybody they don't want to.

The case for a leak of a virus engineered in a Wuhan lab
don't try to love em. mostly just try not to get so wound up. resist the urge to form stromg opinions or to crave what you know. "scout mindset". just observe, try, learn. but here's some things about containers:

it's better than vm's. easier to manage, better extends the host rather than replacing it with a bunch of very non-uniform vm's.

it's nice having an abstraction to run & manage stuff, without having to learn to manage a bunch of particular languages or runtimes specifically. each container makes it's own tools true but there's still some general operations in common.

containers go nicely with "12 Factor" development (http://12factor.net). shared so standard baseline assumotions that should fit most jobs.

being able to snapshot & re-spaen new instances of containers is cool but almost never used.

I'm pretty not excited by containers. but we were doing a pretty weird hodgepodge of things before & a lot of it was kind of bogus but more so, just that there were so many competing styles. it was amateur. containers aren't super awesome but they're ok. they work pretty decently, and they make good use of a lot of really solid powerful kernel features that you should want to be using (croups).
Is there a way to read the full article? It's particularly interesting because Ive been considering moving from LA to somewhere else, perhaps Flordia.

Slightly off topic but while you're at it I'm curious if you have some advice. I'm a single guy in his mid 20s but dont really like the crazy party lifestyle or workaholic startup culture. Pretty downtempo, looking for a medium/large town or small city where I can have a sense of community and safety at night while still having decent restaurant, art, music options, thick forests nearby would be great too. Ideally somewhere that values charities / philanthropic work. Any suggestions?
Beads follows the State-Action-Model pattern (SAM, see sam.js.org) very closely.

Beads is targeting web apps, mobile and desktop graphical applications.

You didn't mention time travel debugging, even on software running on remote customer machines. That's a neat idea.

I would describe the syntax as a mixture of Python and Modula2, which both contributed major features. But has deductive elements as well, which can be traced back to PROLOG.

There are also physical units of measurement such as 3 Newtons * 4 seconds / 3 meter * 2 ergs / 12 kg. I followed the spec from Van Snyder at JPL, who asked the FORTRAN committee to add it decades ago. Only Frink has a stronger unit system.

There are about 70 new things in Beads all told.

I hope that people take it for a spin. If people aren't willing to try new things, how are we going to move forward? You can learn the entire Beads product from soup to nuts in less time than to get half way through a CSS book. Simplicity is a virtue, and thankfully Beads has zero category theory, with no Functors and Monads or Java method factories, etc.

The problem, IIRC, is that we don't have an explanation of why those distributions of DM are balls around galaxies and not balls in the intergalactic medium. It seems like the distribution of lambda-CDM could be anything. So much so, that people are postulating that the core of the milky way galaxy could be an ultradense ball of lambda-CDM.

Glad those are working well for you!

Yeah, one of the reasons we recommend the hooks API as the default _is_ because it's so much easier to use with TS. It's _possible_ to use `connect` with TS, but the typing overloads are a complete pain to work with. Fortunately, `useSelector` is just a simple function call, and `useDispatch` just gives you the `dispatch` method itself. Less abstraction, easier to type correctly, and easier to use.

What do you mean by this? And I'm not being snarky, really.
I didn't downvote it but the tone does seem quite adversarial to me.

You could ask "what was the fallout?", "Did the client get compensated?", or "did you make procedural changes afterwards?" without being as confrontational.

Less people will post about their mistakes if they know they're going to be lambasted for them. We can learn from these mistakes if they're shared or they can be a timely reminder of stakes if we're slipping into complacency. So we probably don't want to discourage such posts (especially since it's rarer for people to want to talk about failures that successes).
I upvoted you. It's almost more plausible than the existence of a ton of tiny leptons that don't interact with the rest of the universe at all..
The point jangid made above about being able to specify part of the program with only one character makes a significant difference:

What I like about Lisp's syntax is that the cursor (point) is always in a complete Lisp program. You move up one set of parenthesis, again a complete program. Move up further .... till you reach the top (file-level).

So this gives good opportunity to Editor makers. Compile "this" level, 1-level-up, 2-level-up and so on. In an editor you can always check your program while coding.
No. The React team doesn't work on _any_ official libraries except React itself.

China doesn't need a smaller population, it's actively trying to increase birth rates after 35 years of the One Child Policy caused a demographic catastrophe. The population projects are for a declining to below 1 billion people (potentially as low as 700 million by 2100)

The evidence of deaths in Wuhan being 10 times officially reported numbers (of 4,000) is very strong, based on analysis of crematoriums. The same is actually true of India too (which fared much worse than China).
