There's also the possibility that the leak was from people or activities associated with the lab but not from inside the lab. For example, they hire some local people to go and fetch some more bats from the bat caves in another province. Those people drive to the other province in their white van, go into the caves, inhale lots of guana, grab some bats, drive back to the Wuhan lab, hand over the bats, then drive into central Wuhan to get a coffee and see if there are any good offers at the wet market. (OK, they probably wouldn't actually be infectious straight afterwards, but they're local people so they might visit the market next week, too.)
But have you ever seen such a representation? I believe I've seen no app implementing this kind of view for anything.
> oh wait, the city hasn’t had a Republican since the 70’s.

I’m pretty sure there is a word missing in this sentence that radically alters its meaning (I can think of several candidates, either before or after “Republican”, that might make it true), but SF definitely has some Republicans.
It's not that unusual actually. Think of all the Saas apps that charge you by tier based on some arbitrary limits.

Sure, in those cases you consume more resources, but those are probably negligible compared to the increase in price. The reality is that they charge you more because you make more money from the service, hence you are willing to pay.

It's not precisely the same, obviously. For one, you can chose the services you want, while you must go through Apple's App Store. And since they don't charge a percentage of revenue but charge for resources, you don't see the correlation.

But the final effect is the same. The more money you make, the more you pay.

SF is like another planet. Unless you're exceptionally ugly or have an incredibly bad personality, you wouldn't have problem dating anywhere else on entire Earth.

I'm 33, living in Eastern Europe, and have nothing special in terms of looks (probably solid 6, but you can just google my username) or money (certainly nothing even close to SF tech salaries). And yet, when I re-activate my profile on Tinder, I get first 100 likes in a first day or two.

> No one, literally no one, is saying that AFAB and cisgender women do not exist.

I don't think anyone is asserting that, at least not the way you say. You're sort of responding to a perceived strawman with another strawman.

What gender critical folks are saying is that the more radical arm of trans-activism (particularly the powerful Self-ID movement) looks at biological sex as superfluous and arbitrary, and thus any spaces, programs, or resources that have been reserved for women up to this point must be made available to men if they so much as declare themselves to be female. Any requirements to "commit" to a transition, in terms of time or physical/hormonal adjustment are attacked as transphobic.

And then there's the language policing that the self-ID'ers want to enact, wherein, for example, biological women would be referred to as "menstruators", and transphobic phrases such as "breastfeeding" would be prohibited.

And in fact, breastfeeding itself is under attack in some TRA circles as an inherently anti-trans behavior, because obviously it cannot be part of the "shared experience" of women and transwomen.

I know there's a lot of space in between the extremes for people who truly were "born in the wrong body" as Mermaids says, but I think it's understandable that many honest and well-intentioned folks perceive the more radical TRA stuff as a misogynistic male colonisation of femininity.

Gender ideology affects almost everybody. It does not just affect members of the LGBT community. That is why there is a backlash against it, because people don't want to be pestered and indoctrinated by it.

Note that gender ideology and people being gay or whatever are not the same thing (just like feminism and being a woman are not the same thing - the one is an ideology and theory of the world, the other is a biological reality).
> Yet magically, when the state has held a Democratic majority, the first time there's been a budget surplus since the dot-com boom.

To be fair, that's probably as much due to a ballot measure lowering the budget threshold down from a 2/3 supermajority and thereby actually making the state governable.

OTOH, that measure was heavily pushed by the Democratic governor and legislature and opposed by Republicans, so...
Isn't this just saying "No creating 10 developer accounts to get the discount on $10M of earnings instead of $1M" ?

Small business discounts are very vulnerable to abuse - when the UK introduced a tax break on the first £X of employee salaries, giant corporations like G4S shifted their employees to work for 48,000 new "small businesses", each with a handful of employees, to claim the tax break 48,000 times.

> You must have compromised the binding to localhost in some way to allow this to happen as MongoDB only listens on localhost by default.

Serious: Listening on localhost-only works in dev environments only. In production, it is not the norm to run the application on the same host as Mongo, especially given what a resource hog Mongo is. So, for practical purposes, listen-on-localhost is actually an obstacle is needs to be disabled first-thing anyway.

You guys know this too, because you do exactly this (and a lot more) on that Atlas thing you guys love to upsell everyone and their grandmother on.

Honestly, it is telling that this is the only defence you could provide — that you listen on localhost — and not anything _actually_ secure in prod. Must come in handy when upselling Atlas, I guess, that your the default configuration conveniently omits everything.

In Browser, We Trust
Yes, you're right, this is extremely low resolution, compared to commercial scanners. This is mostly the result of using a point-by-point scanner. One thing I have on my plate is exchanging that for a field-of-view scanner (probably a Livox Mid-40).

One interesting feature of the current setup is the ability to "zoom in" on details. With the microstepping mode of the stepper motors, one can take 2/4/8 times as dense measurements of an area if necessary. The limiting factor here is time. A single scan takes around 40 minutes with the current resolution (1800*300).
Since the explosion of kids identifying as trans is a rather recent phenomenon, it seems likely that there is no good research on the outcomes yet. The people identifying as trans who were studied ten years ago may be very different from the people who identify as trans today (their reasons for feeling trans may be completely different).

It seems rather obvious that something like social contagion is going on, similar to anorexia. There may be cases with other causes, but a lot of them at the moment are probably social contagion.

If you think about it, onset of puberty is when the bodies of kids undergo drastic changes, and it is normal that they struggle to come to terms with it. Maybe worse for girls because their bodies change in more obvious sexual ways.

So they are in a vulnerable state where their bodies feel wrong until they have adjusted to their "new world".

I don't find it surprising that they are vulnerable to people telling them the reason their body feels wrong is because they are really trans, and they desperately grasp for an offered cure.

That is just me thinking, not "medical research", mind you. However, I think parental common sense is underrated when it comes to such issues. Too much expert bullshit has been injected into child rearing over the centuries.

I'm skeptical of 10x - I buy into 5x.

Biggest one for me is people. If you can recruit, retain, motivate a team - you are going to have an impact. After 20 hires or so that impact is potentially significantly higher than someone who is not as active or gets bogged down.

You also start to get a good network of contractors / partners who trust you / that you will deliver / that will engage with you much more readily even when they aren't taking on other clients or work or whatever. This has a further ripple effect.

Just a view from the sidelines.

Building YouTube Competitor – looking for advice and co-founders
Hi Everyone - looking for advice and potentially co-founders. Really hope you can help.

I really don't like the path we are going down in tech. I think we need new social networks that give back our digital property rights.

First product: I'm very passionate about building a new YouTube that is completely decentralised & censorship resistant. I have a couple questions, would love your thoughts:

1- do/will people really care about a YouTube clone that is decentralised/censorship resistant? how do you think about this? what about YT network effects?

2- how do you create something full decentralised but stop the terrorists/bad guys etc?

3- solana (to me) seems the cheapest and most scalable blockchain to build on for text/numerical data and IPFS for the thumbnails&videos. Do you agree? is there any other projects you would recommend I look at?

There is many other questions, but these are the most important. Thank you for taking the time.
Germans also tend to be more stable and commit less crimes than the USA, the crime rate here is also very high compared to Germany, including white collar crime. However, yeah our industrial prison complex system is extremely backward and should concentrate much more on rehabilitation and making sure that it's a (relatively) safe environment with things like 100% camera coverage since prison violence and rape are such a common thing.
Go 1.17 is deprecating the traditional use of 'go get'
Yes ,I just pointed it out. The places that create the happiness indices, which is where the information comes from that give you the evidence these places are happiest, lists the reasons for this happiness, and the workers rights are not listed as the cause.

You cannot on the one hand claim these are the happiest places and ignore the same source for the reasons.

And, as I pointed out, a significant amount of countries beyond the few considered western European perform worse than the US, even though they have more workers rights. And the reason for the US being lower than many is the lack of faith in government, as stated in the reports by the people that measure happiness, not weaker workers rights than Finland.

An interesting test would be to find a ranking of countries by workers rights, and use the ranking by happiness, and see if there is even strong correlation between these.

Read the reports. I provided the links.

Purple had a name in ancient greek (porfyra) and egyptian times. The color was named after (or vice versa) the sea snail that makes it

"is a critical piece of ...", yeah, so are oil drilling, and proxy war, and many other things.
the point here is that not everyone goes through the same recruiting process because of these programs. also, coding interviews do not test if you are a good software engineer or computer scientist. they test how well you memorized optimal solutions to problems and how quickly you can reproduce them. they also discriminate against those with anxiety or other mental issues or those who have not recently graduated. and they do not test many important skills besides writing code.
> It is surprising that these kind of categorical errors get forwarded so easily.

Physically, people obviously could see the same frequencies. But what to make of the raw perception has a cultural aspect - after all, the whole band from 400 nm to 780 nm is continuous, and we are able to perceive the complete range[0], so the color categories we use have to be arbitrary to a degree. So seeing here means consciously differentiating, not physically perceiving.

Anecdote: I was working in a print shop during university. After a few years of consciously comparing small hue differences, I became almost offended if someone in class talked about a "purple" line in a graph that was clearly magenta to me. I couldn't care less a few years before.

[0] = many parts indirectly, though, e.g. yellow is not a color we can see directly with the cones alone, it is processed first.

Hi Mojoe,

Thanks for checking it out !

The demo app is js heavy. If by any case you have js disabled in your browser, content will be all messed up. I don't have large set of testing devices, but haven't really experienced anything similar.

I didn't try to implement UML standard all the way, rather, simple UI for the model design.It resembles UML class diagram, so seemed like a logical thing to note on a homepage.

In any way, not denying I'm bad at UX and should address that aspect a bit more, but being completely untalented for it, I'd lose an unparallel amount of time on it instead of, for example, implementing support for another technology. At the end of the day, the tool is made for fellow developers rather than customers, so currently, the accent is on technical part of the service, but hopefully, will eventually be more prettier and easier to use.

Thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated !
Opinions are my own.

That view seems a bit too cynical. The requirement is a simple abuse-prevention step. When you work at the scale of Google, there are constant threat of abuse that you need to address.
> 1. I need to be able to connect to my DB from anywhere.

So do I. So I setup all my dbs with TLS mutual auth or equivalent. Even databases that don't support TLS natively (e.g., Redis 5 and below) get a TLS/SSH port-forward setup for them at the network boundary.

> I have a PW on my DB and that's it. Why do I need more than that?

If you're not using an MITM-proof connection (e.g., TLS or SSH), and you connect to your DB from a network that has me (maybe we're in the same coffee shop, maybe I'm working in your office, or maybe I just work at an ISP between you and your server), then I have your PW.

Back when Apple announced this there was a good discussion about it on Accidental Tech Podcast, about how this was a really smart move.

It gives a price cut to the most number of people, but requires Apple to give the least amount of money away. This gives them really good press, and helps them to deal with their "image issues" that they have at the moment. Basically a win win.
