So no, there’s still guns available in Australia and NZ, if people want them. You just don’t have the divisiveness and hatred there like we do in the US.

Isn't that a lose/lose for Facebook? Either the answer is "Yes" and they'll be fined or it's "No" which makes advertisers question whether or not they could get the same product cheaper elsewhere.

If I was the president and I knew it was a lab leak, I would probably yell at Xi Xinping in private but then claim it was a bat in public. To allow them to save face.

In fact let’s game this out:

Option 1) say it was a bat

Option 2) say it was a lab leak

If option 2, then xinping has to either acknowledge and apologize, or deny it.

Option 1) acknowledge it. But then he gets removed as leader since the Chinese people will see him as weak.

Option 2) deny it. This is what he would do.

If he denies it, then probably the USA will apply some kind of sanctions on China, which again stirs up tensions. But China can’t do anything about it because of US military superiority.

So how does that end? China is humiliated at having sanctions and in their view, false accusations leveled against them. They respond with a huge arms buildup and this results in a reciprocal buildup in the USA.

Better to just let them save face.

Edit: I’m not saying that I am going to lie about this. I’m not the president and this is all hypothetical musing. More to the point I don’t know if it really was a bat or if it was actually a lab leak. I’m just trying to imagine what the president might possibly be thinking right now.
Being thematically similar is not that interesting, if one works better than the others.

Coverage guided fuzzing is eating symbolic execution and concolic testing for breakfast. It isn't even close. As much as I love these more principled approaches, the strategy of throwing bits at programs and applying careful coverage metrics is just way more effective, even for cases that seem to be hand picked for SMT-based approaches to win.

Lack of warnings about accidental file overwrite is less of a problem today than say 20-30 years ago: modern filesystems allows to make regular snapshots which help to recover accidentally lost file.

Couldn't agree more. I've tried to explain this to people before and gotten a blank stare and/or lip service.

And yes--the rediculious meetings are me giving her $159 cash for a 5 minute session with someone I despise personally/professionally.

Under some circumstances this will be fine. Using AI doesn't change negligence rules into strict liability rules, it just changes the criteria through which negligence will be determined. It seems likely that most jurors would not be as cantankerous in their outlook towards AI as you are, though.

whenever you need these three things together: decentralization, secure, and auditable data. Could be the cases when we do not want to give the authority of the data to a central resource. Like, what if all educational institutions host blockchain nodes to store educational records of their students.

Well, if the system flagged it as such, then clearly the fault lies with the user! /s

As mentioned in the thread, this is a pre-existing issue going back to 2019. Google had previously claimed to have 'fixed it'.

When did software companies become able to routinely explain away their mistakes (or obfuscate their skullduggery) as unintentional mishaps made by their computerized checklists?
In a way it's analogous to how Einstein's E = mc^2 is a special case of how the norm of the four-momentum is defined in special relativity, which is mc = √((E/c)^2-p^2). For the special case of a stationary object we have p = 0, so E = mc^2 follows automatically. But the special case is somehow more memorable and more famous, and I believe something similar has happened with Euler's identity.

TFA doesn’t call Sars-Cov-2 a bioweapon. Sloppy lab practices on virus research is all it takes to have a lab leak.
Trainers get paid by professional athletes (at least in individual sports), not the other way around. Also, in most cases, the athlete is the brand. The analogy is ridiculous.
It's not just about walking. It's about walking while carrying stuff (not in a backpack either), interspersed with other kinds of physical effort. "13 miles" is just a proxy for total effort, requiring multiplication by some factor to get an equivalent number for walking alone.

What would that factor be? A clue might be in the "400 calories per hour" number also mentioned in the story. That's nearly 7km/h at average (male) weight, or 56km equivalent during a shift. Would you feel comfortable walking 40% faster for 60% longer? Every day? It doesn't get that much easier.

Appalachian Trail through-hikers would consider 35km to be a good day. I can cover 20km in under two hours, not five, but if I did that every day I'd be seriously over-training and probably headed for an overuse injury. Requiring even half that level of daily effort for people who are not in their twenties any more, who are sleep deprived due to non-work (or other-work) demands, or who already have one or more other injuries or chronic conditions, really is a bit problematic.
>Imagine an alternate universe where all events played out the same as in our own, with the exception that the Wuhan laboratory's existence was a perfectly kept secret by the PRC. In that case, would the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan lead to the certainty that there must be a secret facility nearby that specializes in novel bat-related coronaviruses?

The natural emergence of a virus from an animal is much more likely than the existence of a secret, unknown research facility, but much less likely than a lab leak (particularly in the circumstances surrounding COVID19).

All these mistakes in reasoning that I keep seeing in these discussions is making me truly understand the definition of "gaslighting".

There is a very important thing to mention: Both the US and Europe depended on China's supplies in order to fight the virus in the first place.

Guess what Chinese officials did? They called each individual country prime minister and said: Your news reporters are criticizing China, it seems like you don't want supplies.

So politicians will talk with the boss of the news Media and explain the situation, the journalist will shut up.

This happened in two big European countries I personally know of. I suspect the same happened in the rest.

This is a beautiful reminder that you should never outsource your strategic resources like essential food, energy or medical supplies and if you do, you better don't do that from totalitarian regimes.

It's dangerous to engage in higher-order thinking, lest you fail to achieve the highest order:

First-order: "The evidence points to a lab leak."

Second-order: "We can't say it's a lab leak, it'll cause mayhem. Let's say it was a bat."

Third-order: "We can't lie to people about something this important. When the truth comes out eventually, it'll be mayhem squared and they won't trust us next time."

> I'm 99% sure this has nothing do with you using a GA alternative.

What am I missing here? To me this seems like precisely what is happening. The OP cannot use AdSense because his Matomo integration was flagged as "malicious" (even though presumably using GA to achieve similar functionality would be allowed).

Sure, this may not be an official public move by Google to try and stamp out competition, but to the creators and users of stuff like Matomo, that makes little different since the outcome is still the same. The problem is made even worse in this case since you would expect that an (apparent) false-positive in their auto-scan could be cleared up by contacting support. When support's answer is "this is not allowed" it seems like an appropriate time to start talking to lawyers....
I worked at a large cluster computing company and we did occasionally, very occasionally see PCIe problems. Note that a lot of people are now exporting PCIe over a cable, not just plugging into the mainboard, and that can be a source of problems ('oops, the PCIe cable was routed in a location that made it experience more EMF, vibration, and physical damage and then it started to show more errors).

These sorts of problems mainly show up if you're running your own fleet, designing your own servers (poorly/aggressively) and have a budget of $10B.
you do realize Linux has file permissions which can prevent accidental deletion...
I'm not sure how you can claim something is debunked when the source say it was unlikely. It would be nice if journalists used words by their common understanding rather than as a way to silencing ideas they dislike.
Why are you surprised? The terrorism bogeyman led Americans to spend trillions in tax money only to have those funds eaten up by Boeing and Raytheon and the US end up humiliatingly defeated by the Taliban with nothing to show for 20 years of war.

> the more material you put into your house, the less vulnerable it is

I have a counter example about scale. The more material you put into a city (the more houses you build), the more vulnerable it is (more potential problems, more opportunities for crime, etc).

While the house is less vulnerable than a tent, it can be secured for only as long as the flow of people and material through this house is very well controlled. The bigger squat house is not necessarily more secure. On a city scale free movement of people and goods is essential, and thus any place can be potentially visited (used) by anyone. We want the same urban infrastructure to be re-used by as many people as possible. There is a huge attack surface.

Code is more like a city. We want the same code to be re-used in as many different contexts as possible.

Leadership and researchers have already destroyed their credibility by repeatedly lying to the public about their intentions. Last year they consciously lied that masks were ineffective to preserve them for health workers. This year they lied about the motivation for dropping mask mandates: it was to motivate vaccination, not because it was just a new scientific finding. Not to mention the failure to acknowledge Taiwan as its own country to appease the CCP. The only rational argument is to not conclude anything unless solid evidence emerges. Anybody who wants you to conclude something prematurely is pushing an agenda

it is very unfortunate that the first & really good electric vehicle is a highly complicated tech gadget. and this sets a bad benchmark for the other companies which want to step into this space. why not a simple electric vehicle : just different fuel and engine , and all the rest same as ICE vehicles . wouldn't that be easier / simpler to deal with ?

Imagine being a scientist and advocating the position that the truth should not be sought in order to protect people’s feelings.
Yeah, I mean, why would you want concurrency primitives when you can spawn a thread, or do mutexes, or do locks at the db level, or use redis as an actor, for when, for instance, you want to allow users to upload N simultaneous files, but have a limit by user plan to 5 maximum uploaded files, or process N CSVs or excel files in parallel and broadcast the changes to all admin accounts, or not allow multiple simultaneous edits to a resource. It's just more sane to rely on 3 or 4 moving pieces outside of your environment to achieve it.

In fact, I think you should go pitch this idea to all OSes developers, nobody is doing more than one thing at any given point in time, so clearly multitasking is unnecessary cruft, pthreads, selects, etc just cater to insecure devs that want to feel cooler and pretend they're not in the stone age of computing anymore.

>Or they could ransom individual's data directly to the individual. Or they short the stock of the company and then release the stolen database publicly to make the share price fall.

You're listing a bunch of things that are almost assuredly already happening. If a company was dumb enough to keep social security numbers unencrypted in a database or spreadsheet, that data is going onto the dark web whether they paid a ransom or not.

It's a LOT harder to find a buyer of proprietary data that will likely put the buyer in prison for a long time, than it is to get a ransom from one individual trying to keep the whole thing quiet.
