In the wake of COVID-19, one of the interesting bits of research was the use of a much broader COVID-19 type test to try and find new novel viruses.

And pretty much the moment it was developed, a new coronavirus in the midst of jumping species was found in hospitalized patients with pnuemonia-like symptoms [1].

Basically once they went looking, in 2% of the sample group they found people who were infected with a canine coronavirus, but who did not seem to be able to infect other people with it.

The likely scenario is that viruses are jumping species all the time, but rarely succeed in causing illness we don't simply write off as "a bout of pneuomonia from a seasonal something" due to lack of severity or lack of ability to spread human to human.

Sure we do. All the time. We allow them to grow up - that's rather permanent. You're not upset about that. Of course, it just so happens to be something you don't personally disagree with, unlike the topic of discussion.

> The sad thing is that our government seems to make a point of screwing with kooks.

Does it? Or is it just that kooks are likely to commit crimes in ways that result in them getting caught at a higher frequency than non-kooks, especially rich kooks compared to other equally rich people, since rich non-kooks exploit their resources to either structure their misdeeds within the law or arrange means to avoid accountability for their crimes?

Indeed, and there is another link: when it comes to hire/elect, meritocracy is the worse is the worst form of hiring/electing process, except for all the others.

Meritocracy isn't perfect. Nothing is. What may replace meritocracy when it comes to hire? Condemning it bluntly for being imperfect without proposing any other way seems a Nirvana fallacy to me.
> The specific example is whether accommodations such as offering teens a choice of pronouns, along with messages about accepting their transgender nature, whatever that might be, makes the teens more or less likely to seek gender reassignment surgery.

Then I'm a little bit confused at your question. I suppose my prior is that acceptance of trans identity will probably lead to more people coming out and more people seeking gender reassignment surgery. I don't know that for certain (again, we don't really have studies about this in the long term yet), but again, we can look at other situations (gay rights, acceptance of left-handedness, ADHD, etc...) and based on how those movements have gone, it's pretty reasonable to conclude that the more people feel comfortable expressing their gender identity, the more people will decide to express their gender identity, including (sometimes) through surgery.

However, that is a meaningless thing to worry about unless you believe that gender reassignment surgery is inherently bad, which... it's not. We don't care whether gender reassignment surgeries become more common, we care about people making mistakes and regretting their surgeries. So the only statistics worth measuring here are the outcomes of people who choose to have surgery or choose to avoid surgery. We want to know whether as adults they feel they made the right choice.

Lowering the number of surgeries is not a metric we should be optimizing for. Improving outcomes and avoiding post-surgery regret is the metric we care about.

I guess to answer your specific question, I suspect that acceptance of transgender identities will probably lead to more people coming out as trans, and will probably lead to more surgery. But that has nothing to do with the question of whether or not affirmation is good for kids and whether it helps them make more educated decisions about their identity in the future. Having more trans-identifying people isn't a bad outcome unless those people are unhappy with their identity.

> The specific example is whether accommodations such as offering teens a choice of pronouns, along with messages about accepting their transgender nature, whatever that might be, makes the teens more or less likely to seek gender reassignment surgery.

So I don't understand why this is a question that anyone anywhere would care about, unless your insinuation is that your goal is to minimize the number of transgender people overall.

Do you care if your kid has regrets about the decisions they end up making about their body once they reach adulthood? Or do you care whether your kid is trans? Because those two concerns are completely orthogonal to each other.

It doesn’t completely disprove your theory, but that base is a well-known boneyard: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_boneyard
While it is certainly possible it’s military, I’d say it’s not as likely as you would think. Consider:

1. This drone does not fit the description of any known DOD drone, so you should assume it’s classified. The DOD is meticulous about only flying classified aircraft in restricted airspace where they can prevent prying eyes and inadvertent attention. Tucson is not immediately close to any of the usual hotspots for classified aircraft (Area 51 for example).

2. The article describes the drone buzzing the original CBP chopper as well as flying an orbit around the police helicopter. It is reasonable to suggest that a collision between the drone and either of those helicopters would be fatal for the pilot. No military pilot I know would ever create the type of risky scenario as described here.

3. Classified and unclassified aircraft are not just operated by a dude that hops into a plane or sits down at a drone console. They’re planned out. They’re also not operated in a vacuum. If your scenario of a classified drone operating in this airspace were true, and the drone was picked up by a friendly chopper, the operator would most likely immediately land safely and have someone reach out to the pilots and let them know not to mess with the aircraft. They would certainly not go rogue and risk a major accident or fatality.

4. I consider it highly unlikely the DOD would ever use other agency resources to unwittingly run training Ops. That seems like a career-ending move.
Very very interesting. Few questions:

Are you onboarding suppliers on your platform with their own supplier portal for collaboration/chat? Or is only catalog data?

Does the RFI, RFQ etc processes happen within the system or outside?

How does your sourcing software integrate with existing supplier selection modules, contracts lifecycle management modules ( for compliance, audit etc) like SAP or Oracle that might already be deployed by the customer?

Is this similar to SAP ariba or coupa but with catalogs predefined?
I think the issue is that a gay man or a lesbian does not yet know if it is safe to even have those normal conversations with some person they are just getting to know. If they're asked a question that would lead to "I was at lunch with my boyfriend/girlfriend", they might get a homophobic response.

Directly coming out to you, when they are comfortable and emotionally prepared for it, is a way to avoid a traumatic reaction during normal conversation.

Beyond that, when you've been forced to repress some part of yourself due to social expectations, it can be a big relief to be able to specifically tell people about that part of you, rather than just letting it come up obliquely during conversation when you happen to refer to a same-sex partner.

To be honest I don't think the StyleGAN papers are benchmark chasing. If you read StyleGAN[0], StyleGAN2[1], StyleGAN2-ADA[2], and this paper there is a clear story. They call out the mistakes in the previous papers and resolve them. The papers themselves even admit to where they fall short. But it is research. Problems don't get solved all at once. But if you pay attention to these 4 papers it is very clear Kerras has a very well defined research focus and direction. He's showing his progress over time, sharing it with the community, and learning from the community as well. This is how research should happen.

Significant anthropological evidence exists that gathering not hunting provided the primary food source in primitive cultures. Outside of the Arctic circle there is simply an abundance of edible wild plants relative to the density of game animals. Further those plants don’t run away, foraging was simply the more dependable food source.
Assuming you are a Python developer: That's a great stack. I work at a recently minted unicorn and that's what a big chunk of our service layer is written in.

Only caveat is that it's not as opinionated as Django, so you'll need to document some rules as to how you structure your code. For what it's worth, this article gives some good advice you can apply.

Best productivity hack I can recommend is that it's worth investing time into observability once you reach product/market fit: you will slowly have to invest more labor into troubleshooting your application rather than merely adding more product features. And depending on your market, some customers might be very sensitive to that.

It is really interesting to read the comments in this thread.

From an outsider's perspective, US has been the most prosperous country in this planet. People generally have good chances to move up the class ladder. And there are a lot of active enterprises. But I had the strong feeling that this stop to be the case in recent decades.

The reason, as I see it, is the natural tendency of capitalism, people seeking to maximize their individual capital. In the past century, with the pressure of the cold war, this tendency is balanced by the government, as US needed its working class to actually make innovations and make products to gain the advantage in the competition with the Soviet Union. In fact, the working class got their best treatment during the cold war, and then it worsens in recent decades.

Now with the Soviet Union dead, and China is still too young to be an actual competitor. There is no obstacle for the capitalists to play their games. It should be evident for most Americans that the price of properties are inflating while the increase of their salary slowed. The government also got eroded, most of the people there are either capitalists or have good relationship with them. What will be their incentives to change the rules?

This is not just the problem with US, it happens also in China. And I don't see a solution to it. The lower classes are controlled tightly by the media, which is controlled by the capitalists. And the middle class is thin and divided. In fact a lot of the middle class try very hard to climb the social ladder so they can be one of the upper class. They don't want the game changed, just "modified" to benefit themselves a bit.
I think it's worth considering the following points:

* The critics are talking about Software Engineering (~1/3rd of the company?), whereas the source you cited is about all of Google. I wouldn't be surprised if the White/Asian/Male splits are far worse when you only look at software engineers.

* Google has many international offices (e.g. there's > 1000 employees in Google Japan).
One of the many skills you need to learn is to be able to repurpose your code to do new tasks. The Advent of Code is a set of programming puzzles in 2 parts that happen December 1-25. The challenges ramp up in difficulty.

The first part is usually something that you can solve with the most obvious algorithm... the second part requires a far more optimum solution. These exercises are fun, challenging, and online, you can do them any time.

Also note that these are great for trying out that new programming language you wanted to learn.

You may be confusing CES with some other organization. I asked on CES's public discord:

ranicki: someone on HN claimed that Center for Election Science switched from pushing STAR to pushing approval. is it true that this organization formerly supported STAR, or was it one of the other organizations? I don't remember who was advocating for what
-redacted name-: Center for Election Science has broadly supported cardinal voting methods, score voting and approval voting basically since its inception. From everything I can tell it still is supportive of cardinal methods broadly, but as a political tactic has honed in on approval voting specifically due to its Pareto optimality.
...
-redacted name 2-: I don't think CES ever changed from STAR to approval. IIRC they existed long before STAR was invented

(Names are redacted because I didn't ask permission to quote, but the discussion is publicly visible and not sensitive at all.)

Yikes...this sounds almost religious. The truth is much more mundane and boring: we really don't know much about diet, aside from a handful of obvious things: don't eat too much sugar, don't eat trans fats, and try to get folic acid if you're pregnant. The final sentence really seals the deal on how little the OP understands diets. You can't look at anecdotes of someone "curing" themselves using a diet. That's how you get "miracle cures" using all sorts of random substances/fads. You have to do an actual randomized-controlled trial. Under controlled environments, the benefits of ketogenic diet are either nonexistent or moderate at best.
We have never found a cave painting of a loaf of bread. It was all hunting animals for meat. This is absolutely delusional.
Actually federal government resources are pretty limited and finding hackers is hard. What's more after you find hackers you often can't do anything about them as they are in China, Iran, Russia or some other non-US friendly country. Even if country if friendly, extradition is expensive and time consuming. After all that you may end up putting random 20 year old guy in jail for a few years without putting any dent into overall number of hacking attacks.

True cost of each investigation is probably in the millions so investigating hacking of random small company is probably not high on the list of priorities. Evidence that can hold up in the court are hard to come by.

With all the talk about Russian hackers hacking Dem Party, elections, etc, there are zero people in the jail and zero evidence presented that it was even Russians. So it's hard.
