I am a frequent customer of Costco and at my Costco the limits on toilet paper and cleaning supplies have been 'back' for at least the entire summer months, but maybe even longer. I really think its to deter unnecessary panic buying as I have never seen them be low in stock or any problems like that.

But he’s implying that the leader of one of the most innovate companies in the past decade is a mindless corporate robot? But Sheryl Sanberg (an ex-McKinsey playbook follower) is more than that? It’s such an absurd assertion that I feel I must have misunderstood.
That was a reference to your previous comment. Does anecdotal count for nothing? Fine, run a survey of virologists and epidemiologists and report the intersection of set. It will not be arbitrarily small.
That's the point, under the current system you can't enforce a royalty. You could theoretically use e-medical records to detect infringement, but you can't build a business case on suing individual patients and doctors taking an old drug for a new indication. You could outlaw prescribing drugs off-label but that isn't politically feasible. Pharmacies and doctors are encouraged to automatically prescribe low cost generics where available vs a branded drug, by reference to the INN.
A monoculture is still a culture!
You are getting downvoted but this is the traditional history of philosophy as I understand it too (the history of Christianity will be different).

Hellenic culture and texts had permiated Africa and and Mid-east. There were various ancient libraries and academies. Byzantine scholars at the Neoplatonic Academy fled to Persia after it was closed by Justinian. Later in the 8th Century, the Greaco-Arabic Translation Movement gathered books and translated original Greek texts into Arabic at the House of Wisdom (Grand Library of Baghdad). Study of hellenic philosophy restarted in the Arabic world until the Golden Age of Islamic Philosophy with Averroes whose commentarities reintroduced Hellenic philosophy to Europe in the 12th century.

I don't think that particular flow needs any Irish Monks but <shrug> I don't know the specific sources of books used by the Translation Movement.

I remember reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and thinking it was like reading an IKEA catalog thanks to all the Scandinavian names.

And then there was a scene (in the second book, IIRC), where there literally is a listing of products from the IKEA catalog.

Haha, yea, this isn't like having a snap streak of showing a funny face to your friend for 3,144 days. But alas, the internet at large probably thinks that is a harder feat than this.
Not OP, but testing groups of the "units" you unit tests can have a lot of value.
Silicon Valley companies were paying salary and equity and were growing really fast.

Employee’s vested shares turned out to be worth a lot and so was the real estate employees bought.

The market was ripe and the people were talented. Not so sure there’s much to it then that.
All valid points, but let’s be real scientists and work the other way? Can you conclusively rule out that this virus wasn’t engineered (and then maliciously covered up) in a lab? The reason this approach is important is because the stakes here are higher. This means people who should have been careful weren’t, and are responsible for the death of millions and they’re happy continuing to cover up their part in it.

The more important part here is an investigation on the origins of the virus is more about beurecracy than the actual science so unless you can conclusively prove that this virus could have never been engineered by a human you should stop bringing “improbability” of all of these processes as why we should trust these scientists.
> it could also mean more of these facilities being shut down

... which is a critical thing to consider when reading virologists' opinions claiming that it couldn't be a lab leak. There is a very obvious conflict of interest here.

I don't have a good answer how to deal with this conflict, since it is hard for non-virologist to judge the arguments, but ignoring the conflict of interest entirely is not the solution.
Wet TP? Sounds like a recipe for dingleberries.

interesting! here's what wikipedia says:

"In May 1476, [Columbus] took part in an armed convoy sent by Genoa to carry valuable cargo to northern Europe. He probably docked in Bristol, England, and Galway, Ireland. He may have also gone to Iceland in 1477. It is known that in the autumn of 1477, he sailed on a Portuguese ship from Galway to Lisbon, where he found his brother Bartolomeo..."
Fixed!

I believe this kind of copy-paste "last line effect" one of the most common errors in programming: https://hownot2code.com/2016/08/15/the-last-line-effect-typo...

Task.WaitAll is the C# equivalent: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading...

But it's not necessarily faster, there are corner cases where waiting for all tasks prevents some concurrent computations (e.g.: JSON parsing) from occurring.

Not only that but Bitcoin or whatever shitcoin becomes the next big thing need to scale up the network's ability to handle transactions.

Payment processors like Visa handle something like 400x more transactions per unit time than Bitcoin.
This is false. The "Liber de duobus principiis" survived.
ATM was the baselevel for DSL for a long time. You'd usually run Ethernet over ATM, and often PPP over Ethernet (over ATM). If you carefully tweaked your MTUs, you could get a marginal latency benefit by fully packing the underlying fixed-length ATM packets.
Zoho is a fine app, but it's described as such "Zoho CRM is an online Sales CRM software that manages your sales,.."

That's not what ezInvoice does. There is a lot of crossover in the features we offer, but they're not really the same.

As to keeping up, the ezInvoice app is a Cloud app, and it's also a "Single Page", Offline-First, and Local-First app, so you're either missing that or ignoring it.

>> Is your hypothesis that Google would have some incentive that you collect user interaction data? Why would that be?

Goggle is in the business of collecting as much data on users as they can, and that includes the users of the products advertised on their platform and those companies that place them. They offer services specifically for that purpose and as far as I know Google sells data to other corporations.

The smallest number you can safely go is 3 at a time - put them in a mirror configuration. This is expensive for the amount of storage you get, so few people are willing to spend that much. Once you want to be cost effective 6-8 is the sweet spot - enough drives for a good amount of usable space, but not so many that multiple drive failures are likely to compromise the array. Nobody is stopping you from other configurations, but 6-8 drives in your array is about the best compromise between performance, cost effective and total storage.
What if some person or algorithm notices that you don't have those skills while walking or shooting at other body parts - only at heads? That's the kind of inconsistency I'm talking about. Or what if the nature of the mouse movements is consistently a little different between the AI and yourself?
i think it is more likely a foreshadowing of the further breakdown of supply chains.
Do also note that damn near every lab today would not propose a new approach or project without already secretly having gone half the way in it with prior funds. No one proposes a potential novel idea without already being fully sure it will work.

A GFCI outlet behind a toilet would be at least $1k if not a few thousand unless there is an existing outlet between the studs above where you want it.

There would be electrical, drywall, and maybe even plumbing work since most toilets are in cramped areas and I would expect possibly needing to move them.

Correct. The evidence isn't exactly overflowing but what little there is indicates the Clovis migration was not a peaceful one and existing populations either met a violent end or were forced to move to areas where their populations couldn't be sustained and slowly died out.

The parallels to the European genocide of Native Americans has significant consequences to two groups of people. The first is the white supremacists/edgelords who think an invasion from thousands of years ago means the actions of colonial Europeans as well as ongoing social justice issues with native Americans/reservations are somehow justified or deserved. The second is the far larger but far less dangerous group of people who think native Americans are somehow inherently morally superior and/or that European colonialism is responsible for all the world's problems. To them it's an article of faith that aboriginal peoples do not and cannot commit large-scale atrocities.

These two groups can make discussing and teaching American pre-history very difficult.
This was my realization as well.
Ah, this makes more sense. My wife's country doesn't use TP generally, so I'd assumed it was just spray and go(no offense meant, I never asked probing questions).
Seems like an excuse to avoid negotiating because it makes you uncomfortable. Ironically, the life is too short argument is horrible in this context due to the fact that the amount of time you are forced to work while you live is dependent on the amount of money you make. If you can increase your salary by 10% by negotiating, the total amount of time you have to work in your life just decreased by 10%. Your next raise will also be 10% added to your salary that was already increased by 10%.
It may not be that people are afraid of custodians, more so that they have just lost faith in traditional institutions (banks, fed, politicians etc) to such a degree that has allowed things like cryptocurrencies and their transparent policy to be alluring. The success of cryptocurrencies is for the most part only possible because of the failures of these institutions.
yeah, software can wake the PC too. alarms and the like will wake a sleeping PC.

in your case I would scrutinize the task scheduler for tasks that are allowed to wake the PC.
It is unlikely the virus was engineered specifically for some goal that would involve an intentional release.

The most likely explanation is that the lab was engaging in risky scientific research, because they wanted to do ground-breaking science and were asking themselves whether they could, not whether they should.

Then they made a mistake, had a gap in the protocols, didn't follow them out of laziness, or some other accident, and infected themselves.

As attractive as such theories sound, pandemics are unpredictable enough that noone sane would start one to further some specific goal. At a large scale, there are rarely true winners in a pandemic (or war).
I think that correlation is backwards.

I understand perfectly well which is why I’ve made the points. Your retorts are argumentative for the sake of argument, and you’re not actually making any sort of case that would address my overarching narrative.

This sounds like a garden variety example of an organization moving to event-based architecture and implementing contract testing.

What makes this interesting is that they had decided early on to be a Clojure/Lisp shop so there weren't great tools out there at enterprise scale.

I don't understand why they decided to built everything on Lisp, I assume it was best for them at the beginning. But given the known lack of tools for Lisp to scale into large scale enterprises - this is the kind of thing I would always consider once you get past MVP phase. Otherwise you have to end up building all your own stuff.

Architecture matters.
> am I weird for not being that uncomfortable with companies like Coinbase managing your crypto?

It's almost like using git, a decentralized version control system, through GitHub.
>Most people don't care about self-hosting/self-managing their stuff and just want something that works and is easy to use.

Crypto is no different to regular currencies in this regard. There's nothing stopping you from physically withdrawing all of your cash and stuffing it under your mattress.

If you're concerned about the government devaluing your cash through dodgy bailouts of financial institutions, you can even convert a significant percentage of it to precious metals that you bury in your garden.

The reality, though, is that people generally take the convenient option when presented with it.
To an extent sure, but on the other hand I have been a tourist in many cities and the only one I've regularly encountered human waste in is SF.

I have a $300 Ubiquiti Dream Machine and that thing CANT be scheduled to reboot. doesn't matter because Ethernet dies twice a day, and I need to use my phone to get to the admin page to restart the thing. most annoying and expensive router I've ever owned.

I bought some a few months back at $80, it's now at $105, so it's still grown in recent times.

My feeling is it really depends on if they can cement themselves enough to pick up serious datacenter share before someone gets into a technically competitive position (Intel getting their plans back together, an ARM vendor convincing people to make the switch). From what Intel's revealed so far, that feels a couple of years out still.

> Anonymity? People are unsurprisingly very in favor of KYC so we can apply anti–money laundering and terrorism laws.

This doesn't scale any further than a website ran by a company providing services. Most eyes are on DeFi which is a world of smart contracts and dapps - which at some point (hopefully, because else there is little point) will run without anyone having any authority to change/stop them.

> For it to be trusted you have to insure deposits. Those fly-by-night exchanges going poof with everyone's coins aren't what the public are looking for. I have never met a human being who is anti–FDIC (what insures bank deposits in the US up to $250k).

It's not about being anti FDIC, it's about forcing all software to be managed by an American company that is registered and managed in a very particular way.

> For it to be used as regular currency you have to have price stability. No one wants to go to the grocery store and find out that they lost 10% of their budget on the walk over.

I think we are at the stage where very few people actually believe everyone is going to stop using any type of fiat and store all their wealth in crypto currency, even for everyday spending. So in that perspective this is like telling people not to buy an iPhone because Apple stock might go down (they are very separate).

> People don't know how to manage private and public keys. Anyone who has built SaaS knows that reset password requests are one of the most common issues users have. Now they're being pitched something that losing a file or losing the password to that file loses all of their money (???) Of course you want a third party!

Yes, not everyone cares about this but some do, that's like saying there is no point in WhatsApp to be e2e encrypted or Signal to exist at all because most people don't care if authorities read their messages.

> Immutability? Well that's fine until there are exploits. And then you either have to live with a DAO losing millions of dollars or you have to hard fork. The former is terrible publicity and bad for the people who hold most of the money, while the latter violates the spirit of the whole thing. Guess which wins?

We are early days for sure, the "ETH hardfork" one in that instance but there are many instances where it didn't.
You'd also use soap elsewhere.

Absent soap, I'd rather use paper than just water. I'd bet it's strictly more hygienic too. Moving water spreads stuff everywhere.
> People are unsurprisingly very in favor of KYC

I think you may be generalizing here.

> For it to be trusted you have to insure deposits. Those fly-by-night exchanges

You seem to mean "cryptocurrencies" when you say "it", yet you address only the case of exchanges. What about money that's not parked at an exchange?

I'd agree with the "something worse" claim if you explained the trust aspect completely, and addressed the division of power, but as it is, I can only agree to some points.

check the tasks in Task Scheduler, too. those can also wake a PC from sleep.
Professors never make proposals that they’re not sure would work nowadays. It’s too risky with an already uncertain grant system so most (especially successful) labs only write in proposals things they have already proven but not fully disclosed. They’ll then use the money they get to test and finish half of the next project and then write the next proposal with that knowledge. Thus it’s very likely they already did this research a good way through when this proposal was submitted.

While this doesn’t prove they made and leaked the virus, it doesn’t exonerate them either. A proper investigation is needed. When you say you rely on experts, you should definitely listen to them but unfortunately when people are defending their colleagues it’s much harder to do this. Further, many scientists would take any questioning of this persons ethics as castigation of the whole scientific establishment and become defensive. Even otherwise, it looks like the tide is changing among experts now, more and more are agreeing the lab leak is a viable hypothesis.
Hopefully people thinking about us 200k years from now will consider us as primitive as we consider the people from 200k years ago.

You said that being convicted before being imprisoned was an important difference. Maybe you didn't mean good vs bad but I'm claiming that difference is neither important nor even exists. It's just arbitrarily made up to put a dividing line between China and the US. No matter how similar two countries are, you can always find some difference and claim that it's important.

I agree that Apple and all the other big techs say contradictory moral nonsense. They're just trying to please the public but the public itself has internally contradictory standards even with the same individuals so it's impossible for Apple to really make any sense unless it's willing to alienate everyone.
I resent the implication from the person that wrote the letter that Bitcoin was made to make the rich richer. This is exactly the opposite reason I love Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.
