> I believe there isn't conclusive evidence for or against a lab leak

You'd be surprised. The Wuhan labs were literally corona factories targeting human lungs, and Wuhan residents don't eat bats. The evidence is conclusive, just not direct in linking a particular cage in WIV with an infection outside the lab.

Investigative journalists are focusing on the time period when WIV retracted two corona sequence databases from the Internet (NIH and WIV,) which was around the time of the 2019 Military Games.

Trump knew Fauci was lying since early 2020, but didn't fire him because he didn't want to create a martyr - big mistake, since any new director would have released the grant information (65 US grants to WIV, plus another 26 Chinese labs) a year earlier. Fauci appears to have some kind of mental illness, perhaps an extreme god complex.

Note the invisible hand of the CCP is involved in funding the various scientific journals involved. Cops have "the blue line", but virologists have the CCP and NIH enforcing speech.
"Using social apps to connect with other people can have positive mental-health benefits"

That statement cannot be false because it is devoid of any content, being a mere hypothetical. The fact that it is surrounded by "research" is meaningless as well, as the aforementioned sentence is like saying "the elements of the empty set fulfil all properties"...

So no, they are not contradicting themselves. They are simply and wantonly misleading people.
Ah yes you are totally right.

I misread the initial example:

turnOnThreeLEDs = for_ [1..3] (\led ->
do
turnOn led
threadDelay (10^6)
turnOff led
)

It should be the above (i is changed to led), where I thought the original was automatically going to a new led and didn't realize that `led` was actually an integer and `turn_on` and `turn_off` are basically pseudo-methods (or extension methods). (The original code also only sleeps after turning an LED on, not off)

Indeed the second example is a typo that should have on vs off.

for_ [1..3] (\led -> do { turnOn led; threadDelay (10^6); turnOff led })

The joys of writing code on mobile and too much copy pasting.

`i` is the same thing as `for i in...`.

Also yes ranges are inclusive.

Info leaks have negligible provable harms. It's a real moral hazard. It's not that there aren't harms, it's that it's nearly impossible to link any harms back to any specific leak.
There are different competing approaches to "correct" Latin pronunciation. Pronouncing the "v" as "w" comes from the Restored pronunciation - I think Ecclesiastical Latin pronounces it as an English "v".

Amoral? Why? They advertise a two core part, you pay for a two core part, you get a two core part. Completely fair.
It does make more sense with Latin, because while Latin has always been and still is spoken, much of the value of the language comes from its literature (of which 90% has never been translated).

BUT, the natural method plays well with extensive reading/comprehensible input, where you just read a lot at a simple, pleasurable level, allowing it to ramp up gradually.

This is how I learned much of English as a native speaker, after all!

So I intend to use this approach with other languages in the future as well.

If the entire road you have paved is one big crack in the ground, it's less like customers falling through the cracks and more like a city being swallowed up in an earthquake.

It should be made law if you are a payimg customer companies should have to offer customer support that the customer can actually understand.

Doordash and UberEATS are two of the worst companies in the US, and yet even they have (garbage, to be sure) customer service.

As a counterpoint, Portugal currently has 81.10% fully vaccinated and 86.85% vaccinated once (meaning they'll be vaccinated again in 4 weeks or earlier), and the new infections are going down slowly but continuously for a while now.

My point is not that you're wrong, but that you were cherry picking examples and there can be numerous other reasons for spikes in infections such as relaxed measures and mask mandates, holiday season, schools re-opening, etc. It requires a more careful analysis than yours.
SPAs tend to be some of the easiest sites to scrape (at least if you’re building targeted scrapers), because they come with a production-ready API out of the box.

You can just watch the network tab of dev tools to know what endpoints to hit. Same applies to mobile apps – before you reach for BeautifulSoup, maybe check to see if the website has a mobile app too. It’s usually worth setting up a mitmproxy to see what API you might be able to scrape.
Who said anything about non-primitive value types? Java just needs a second kind of reference type: non-nullable reference types that are always initialized, where a direct assignment from a nullable-reference-typed value to a non-nullable-reference-typed slot fails to compile (but the opposite succeeds.) You’d instead have to go through Optional.ofNullable or somesuch, where that proxy type would then be modified to have variants of .get et al that return a non-nullable-reference return type.
While not ideal, I think this is a great option.

Microsoft (used to?) offer this for developer support and I remember using it maybe 15 years ago where it was a couple of hundred bucks to open a ticket but you got quick access to a real expert and good escalation.

The error interface's only member is `func Error() string`. If you want to do fancy things with errors rather than accumulate a massive string then there is absolutely nothing stopping you. As long as you include a `func Error() string` in there too then whatever you implement will be perfectly compatible with the std library and any other Go code that uses errors.
In some respects, "Say No to Drugs" seems out of date when some very advanced democracies have already legalised some drugs or are close to it. That said, I understand your sentiment. No parent should be encouraging their children to become habitual cocaine users!

One thing that does some "obvious" for this generation of parents: Work hard to educate your children on the dangers of traditional cigarette smoking. That is a seriously terrible habit for your health and well-being. I feel much less so about vaping (e-cigarettes), as the health effects of nicotine addiction are still far lower than traditional cigarette smoke inhaled into the lungs.
The video was posted elsewhere I think. Basically, if you view enough of the residual ring inputs you can link them together. This is not quite practical yet but assuming wide adoption of XMR chain stores, etc, would be able to do this attack.

So many comments here focusing on de-orbiting. Of course for any new satellite, end-of-life de-orbiting should be a part of the initial design, engineering, & build.

However, for existing dead satellites & debris that is above atmospheric decay in reasonable times, I wonder if it would actually be more effective/efficient (in terms of cost, delta-V, scheduling, etc.) to 'herd' the junk into a more out-of-the-way location for future use. It seems once on-orbit manufacturing starts, it'd be useful to have a lot o high-quality material up out of the gravity well, and all of that stuff has already had huge investment to get it to orbit in the first place.

Any astro engineers have any insights?

Not just base rate pay but, also, the motivation to do a low-skilled job isn't just to earn enough money to survive but also to improve one's life over the long term.

It used to be the case you could do a labouring job where there would be regular overtime, often paid at a premium. I had one such job many years ago and could double my regular pay by working a few extra hours each day. Then employers realised instead of paying premium overtime rates they could just hire another person at basic rate.

Not sure what the situation is now but back then it became normal for jobs to advertised at 16 hours a week. In effect, these employers were employing 3 or 4 people where they would previously employ one and they could do this because 16 hours turned out to be the optimum amount someone receiving benefits could work and receive a top-up to get a survivable amount of money each month.
Ok - I was with you until the IPA part. :)

IPA came about because hops are a natural preservative and they needed to ship the beer all the way to India from England.

Sour Beer is just air fermented beer ala Sourdough Bread. It is actually harder to make Sour Beer than "normal" beer (it does not come out of the failure of normal beer fermentation either).

Sorry for being pedantic. :)

> Yes only the elite, who speculate prices beyond the reach of normies, should be allowed to live where they want.

It is not even a case of living where you want to, nor is it a case of supporting a particular lifestyle. It is a question of quality of life. If your commute is 30 minutes door-to-door, you are losing an hour a day. That hour could be better put to use to improving your skills, working paid hours, taking care of your personal well-being, or leisure. It is also worth noting that most people measure commute time as time in transit with a private vehicle, this incurs additional costs (meaning working additional hours) and the only way to get around it involves a significant tradeoff for time.

There are many people who do not want to live an elitist lifestyle and would be happy to live somewhere other than where the elites live. What they don't want to endure is a quantitative and qualitative diminishing in their quality of life.

I actually think the mid 1990's Mac and Windows GUI programs were much better at fulfilling this ideal. We have regressed from there.

I am most familiar with Windows, so I will speak from that perspective.

Because software was an application, and the path of least resistance was to use the OS provided controls and menus, there was a sense of uniformity in how you accessed features. Keyboard shortcuts just worked and were pretty much the save (Ctrl-S, saved the document, etc).

OLE provided a uniform way to embed documents into other applications. Cut and paste worked consistently.

There were also a limited amount of frameworks (bare Win32, MFC, OWL, Visual Basic, and Delphi probably covered 95%+ of apps).

It seemed that most user interfaces at the time were actually made by programmers and not graphic designers. In addition, for the most part there was a lot of continuity from version to version in how a program looked.

Now it seems that every web app wants to look different for the sake of looking different. People want to change how an app looks on a regular basis, often for no other reason than that it needs to look "fresh.". There are a myriad of every changing front-end JS frameworks.

It seems that UI is driven by graphic designers looking to make something unique and standout and not programmers that just want to make a standard, low friction way the user can access the functionality and be done with it.

Also, all you data is siloed a lot more because it is stored in the "cloud". Whereas before you could easily have access to the raw output from all your programs (and if they supported OLE embed documents from one program in a completely different one), now it is somewhat of a pain if you want to get raw access to your data.

Web based apps do have a lot of advantages, but I feel we have given up a lot when we went from native desktops apps to web based.
I really like the Kotlin approach, where they just embraced null being a fact of life on the JVM/JS and instead integrated nullability into the type-system [1]. C# and Typescript do something similar.

So then you get the best of both world, the safety of Optional without the boxing overhead.

I think you could pick the "fairly habitable" temperature range in pretty, round C temperatures, then convert to F and the argument would still hold. The main argument is not the prettiness of the numbers, but the need for decimals and negative signs in order to express a useful range.

What would you define as a "fairly habitable" temperature range in C?

-18C to 38C? That's about 0 to 100 in F. 58 integer C readings vs 101 integer F readings; 100 expressed as 2-digit numbers without negative signs.

-20C to 40C? That's about -4 to 104 in F 62 integer C readings vs 109 integer F readings; 100 expressed as 2-digit numbers without a negative sign.

Flu is under-diagnosed compared to covid because it kills a lot of old people and their cause of death is frequently not listed as flu. With covid, every death that might be attributable to it is counted. So it’s probably actually a more extreme difference under a fair comparison.

I concur with mikepechadotcom that this is simply a one-off damage control via "Social Media Escalation".
I don't see how that follows from his statement. Maybe something more like "based on this logic, flu shots should be targetted at high risk populations or to control hospitalizations". Doesn't France already do something like that with the flu vaccine?

Given the risk variability with coronavirus, I'm not sure that it would make sense to approach it the same way, but targeting highest risk populations still seems very different from "prioritising vaccinating when hospitals fill up".
Shouldn't there be some fallback in place when the game can't fetch the add from the server?

> According to regret minimization, we should project ourselves into the future and consider which path we would regret not taking more. Will I regret not moving for that job opportunity I once had? Will I always regret that I didn’t get a PhD?

That's not regret minimization, really it's the opposite. Regret minimization does not compare two options, it is a threshold that any option either passes or does not. The whole point is that in general there are many possibile courses of action, and it is often impossible to determine the optimal route, but so long as you pick one of the options you won't regret, you're good, even if it was suboptimal. In Bezos' quote, he's not saying he knew all along that the internet would lead to amazing success and the best of all possible futures, but rather that it was good enough that no matter what happened, he'd be okay with it. Regret minimization is a method to beat analysis paralysis, not produce it.

So in the author's example of deciding whether or not to get a PhD, there isn't a right answer, but someone doing regret minimization might say "I'd be proud of getting my PhD even if it doesn't ultimately put me in a better position than spending that time working" and thus getting the PhD would be the regret-minimizing course of action. Or equally possible, one might say "I'd rather try and fail at doing something in the real world than spend all those extra years in academia" and thus not going for the PhD would be the regret minimizing strategy.

Now it's true that it can be difficult to predict what you'll regret and no one can know all the consequences of their decisions, but that's just life. Regret is not an unhealthy and unnatural state that you should convince yourself to ignore, regret is the means by which we recognize and learn from bad decisions. You will invariably make decisions over the course of your life which will put your future self in undesirable circumstances, but that you may sometimes fail to make the right decision doesn't mean you should never try. To pretend that all choices are equally valid and to tell ourselves that we'd probably regret the alternatives just as much is to deny that we ever made a mistake in the first place, which may feel good in the moment but leads to much worse future pain as no lesson is learned from the experience and the mistake is repeated. Or worse, without proper introspection it is possible to take away the wrong lessons from a mistake - legitimate concerns become irrational fears, caution becomes anxiety, problems are avoided instead of solved, and we endure terrible pain making a life in which we can pretend to be happy.

Regrets are like scars - you shouldn't be trying to get them, but if in your old age you find yourself with a lot, you must have lived a pretty interesting life.

That's why I suggested they go the Quake route, forcing you to own a copy of the game legally for you to dissect the map/asset files, but also not blocking you from performing rudimentary research on the engine if you so desire. They didn't release the source so that other people could compile their own versions (although ostensibly you could), but moreso to encourage people to read the code and learn how such a large, interconnected system functions. You can still buy Quake 1 and 2 on Steam, and they'll probably run just fine (Windows support is shaky these days). They're the same as they were 20 years ago, so nobody is really getting gypped when they pay for it. I personally think it's the best way to distribute game source.
