The novichok poisoning in Salisbury happened next to the UK's chemical weapon capabilities in Porton Down. This is evidence that it got out from Porton Down.

The Russian agents videoed wandering about with bottles of poison are evidence of another mechanism of introduction. Perhaps the presence of a market full of various wild animals known to carry coronavirus's is also worth considering.
One thing that might help with the leaning: get a standing desk with a horizontal cross bar. This gives you another position where you can put one foot up and prop yourself backwards from the desk.

The leaning itself is a function of TimeStanding > CurrentStrength. Even if the horizontal bar reduces 50% of the load, you'll still end up doing more standing reps/work if you have a cheater bar. Eventually you may not need it at all, but it's also great for keeping the desk from wobbling.

UpLift's commercial line has them and the extra cost is well worth it, imho.
> That’s a very cynical statement. Goes to show why both sides will never meet in the middle of the road with thinking that way.

I really meant only to reflect the reality that by voting for a Republican you are voting for someone who will use their power to prevent climate change reform. Is this actually controversial at all? I'd like to see the counterexample.

Sure, some voters may have other things in mind when they vote Republican (for instance, taxes, or abortion) but the end effect of that vote is that if the person they vote for is elected, reforms to prevent or slow climate change will be less likely to be implemented. Do you disagree with this as a factual matter?

> Voting republicans doesn’t mean I am against climate change reforms. The issue at hand is how practically we deal with it and reduce demands on fossil fuel and transition to clean energy.

I am incredulous that you actually believe that today there is any kind of Republican plan to "reduce demands on fossil fuel and transition to clean energy" that has any chance of doing anything in any way to prevent the worst outcomes of climate change.

Even if there were such a plan proposed by a small clique of Republican politicians, it would never be implemented by any Republican-controlled legislature or executive because, as a whole, the party still sees fossil fuel energy as a moral good (see: rolling coal), rejects pollution regulation (dismantling it at every opportunity), and dismisses climate change science as a fiction promulgated by their political enemies in order to further a diabolical agenda.

Even if you can assuage your own guilt by telling yourself that the individual politician you are voting for supports some kind of "Republican climate change plan", your vote for that politician will make any reform less likely to be implemented than if you had voted for their opponent. As a factual matter, no Republican-controlled legislature will ever enact climate change reforms into law, and no Republican executive will ever implement any climate change plan—not even a Republican-authored plan—within the next 10 years, unless we see a sea change in sentiment broadly within the party.

> Goes to show why both sides will never meet in the middle of the road with thinking that way.

If there was a reasonable prospect of a "middle of the road" plan to slow climate change that the Republican party would actually support—meaning, would actually help push through Congress—then the Biden administration and the current Congress would pass it in a minute and immediately begin implementing it.

The reason that this is not happening is because there is no plan whatsoever that the Republican party will put any support behind. I wish there was such a plan.

Putting some Ferrari's in a museum or on some restricted racing track is ok. But forcing everybody to follow the law and letting some rich people on TV ignore all the rules seems like a bad way to fight climate change.
4 years for the battery ? My Yaris battery is 10 years old and still working like a charm. Changing the battery is not even an expected maintenance during the total lifetime of the car. And it’s the same for any EV : replacing battery is never to be expected (except of course if you have an issue with it).

> the presence of many natural reservoirs and wet markets, and you want a lab near the action because you want to be able to study the hot spots.

The closest relative to this virus (it's not even that close, just 95% similarity) was found in a bat cave hundreds of miles away. They flew it in Wuhan and made experiments on it (this is all documented, not some crazy theory). Something tells me it's more likely to escape from the lab right there, rather than somehow infect people for hundreds of miles undetected. Your analogy is wrong, the lab is not really a fire extinguisher, because a fire extinguisher cannot cause fires on it's own! Lab leaks happen all the time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laboratory_biosecurity...

A better analogy is: a nuclear scientist works with heavy metals at a lab (far away from home), suddenly his family gets radiation poisoning. I wonder if it was the scientist that made a mistake, or should we focus all our search for natural radiation sources in the family's house? Sure, it's always a possibility, but what is it more likely? Also, you should at least acknowledge that the person is working with radiation and investigate that possibility thoroughly.

Those lab safety measure were criticized by the US state department https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-dep...

> And we'd want to encourage more cross border cooperation, not antagonize it, because viruses don't give a damn about your politics.

The Chinese took the virus database offline 2 months before the official outbreak...what a coincidence. And what a cooperation effort. Renaming the closest relative virus to hide it's trail. And a lot more.

Yeah, we need more cooperation, and China needs to do it first. They created this mess, the least they can do is cooperate rather than hinder investigations. We need better lab security and better protocols worldwide.
Social media tells you what you should see based on some implicit determination. Sure sometimes you can discover new things that did not interest you. You can feel serendipitous. With RSS feed, you can actually gain control, you could actually say when you see items in the feed, alert me. With current social media, I am constantly discovering things, which gives me a short high of finding new things which lasts for few minutes and then I find another new thing. I haven't been able to find what interests me for eg. In YouTube, where I get bored quickly even though I keep seeing new things, new domain I just discovered.
It also seems unlikely that all the wires and tubing are made in Italy.
This is a well-written, cogent, and carefully considered article whose conclusions I disagree with almost completely.

Many of the specifics have already been discussed, but a major benefit of video calls has been missed: Screen sharing. Computer interaction is largely a visual medium in modern times. It is so much easier to look interactively, together, at something than to try to type out what's going on. This applies to both instructions on using or doing something, and especially to code review or discussion.

That doesn't mean you screenshare or call for most problems - you don't. But for some things it just ends up taking infinitely less time, especially when you are having trouble getting one side to understand via text.

I work for a fully remote engineering team that has been remote for more than a decade - COVID changed very little of my organization's culture, as far as I know (I joined after the pandemic started). One of our core rules is "if a conversation is not going well, or people don't understand what's being said, take it to video," and that has served us well.
That makes sense.

I keep wondering why we haven't seen an EV Miata, but you'd probably end up with a small, 4000lb car.

Lacking significant battery improvements, I'm thinking the electric F150 is going to be the game changer in all this.
White may be helping you, but male is harming you in any interaction with police or criminal justice system.

Hydroelectricity has inflicted orders of magnitude more damage. Yet nobody seriously proposes removing hydroelectric plants, they are by far the most effective form of renewables.

Nuclear contamination can be cleaned. The majority of the Fukushima exclusion zone has been cleaned and reopened. There's no motivation to do this in Chernobyl because the town of Chernobyl only existed to support the nuclear power plant.
I am not affiliated with DEVONThink or Ikea, just to be clear.
Just as a side note, color has been an intellectual bone to gnaw for centuries. Germany's Goethe had his Zur Farbenlehre, Newton's prism graces the cover of bestseller music, etc.

That's true, it's hard to make a fair comparaison between the two.
Even if gas leaks were not a thing, this pulls away resources from greener technologies. If we start building gas power plants it’ll take almost 50 years before they can be retired, and emitting even reduced CO2 for 50 years is not an option we have. Counterintuitively it may be better to keep burning coal for 20 more years in old plants and then switch to fully renewable (or nuclear)
> but there isn't enough work to have two teams

Two teams causes an issue where scientists chuck models over the wall for the engineers to somehow rebuild into a semi-workable approach. The end result isn't great because you can't build good production models without taking production deployment into account. You also can't convert non-production models into production models without understanding the modeling assumptions that happened.

The general result is that the engineers and leadership finds the results underwhelming to horrible. The scientists often don't care because what happens on the other side of the wall isn't their problem.

That doesn't mean everyone has to know everything but separating people into teams is not the answer. Have a single team with people of different focuses and areas of expertise.

Greenpeace in particular came about in opposition to nuclear weapons, hence the "peace" part in their name, and why they were the subject of a terrorist attack by the French government which sank the first Rainbow Warrior. People keep forgetting about the long shadow of mutual assured destruction and nuclear proliferation. This is why nobody wants to let the world's 8th largest CO2 emitting country build even a single nuclear reactor.

People who wish to allege secret funding or influence should supply some evidence. Currently the only evidence I'm aware of is the infiltration of UK environmentalists by notorious communists the, er, Metropolitan Police.
> I like a video call because I can block out that time and get the communication over, rather than struggling to discuss something over a longer period of time over async text chat.

Yep that's a fair point. I guess it depends on whether the nature of the communication is operations based or project based. For day-to-day operations where you may get lots of small queries and messages throughout the day, I vastly prefer text chat for this as opposed to someone calling me every 5 minutes, or sending a tonne of separate emails.

For more structured meetings, project planning/reviews etc. then I totally agree that blocking at the time and having a call can be a better way to do it.
Maybe, maybe not. Is the EU's situation a result of their regulation?
Sorry but that's a lot of hogwash. The green parties mostly came from, or were closely associated with, the anti-war movements. Anti nuclear and green overlap to a large degree due to (a) the close link between nuclsar power and nuclear weapons, and (b) at least in Europe also the fallout of Chernobyl, which is now barely remembered but at the time was gigantic - e.g. enormous amounts of food had to be scrapped, people had to keep their windows closed for months, etc.
There isn't much alt-right about that specifically, but it's clear wording that the alt-right has been using online for years. Talking about "SJWs" controlling the media and universities (and in the very same paragraph saying every "normal" person wants them "gone") and calling things you dislike "soy" are both plays in the years old alt-right playbook. If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck...
Most driving enthusiasts, once they experience the instant torque of electric cars, never look back. That's joy.

Perhaps a tiny minority are more interested in exhaust notes than accelerating out of a corner, and I suppose they will remain petrol heads, but with classic cars, since ICE technology is a dead end now.
There are useful Qi Gong moves for facial muscle rejuvenation (especially around the forehead and around the sinus area) and also to release muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. I like to do Qi Gong while waiting for things to happen in the kitchen. You can find decent videos on YouTube that show you how to do this.
We optimize to get things done. If a video call is warranted, we all hop on and get to the answer much faster than text. If the convo is inherently asynchronous, we use Slack. I don’t see the benefit in drawing lines in the sand. Each situation is different. We use impromptu meetings in most cases, not scheduled ones. It works like a charm. Being rigid about process is a classic productivity killer.
> Cloudflare has also categorically denied that their Worker product allows SSH connections - it is simply not designed for that, apparently.

Hi, I'm the tech lead of Workers, so I'll clarify.

At present, Workers can only generate HTTP traffic, because the only API we've given Workers for network communications is `fetch()`, which is HTTP-specific. This similar to how in-browser JavaScript today cannot open arbitrary TCP connections, because there's no API for it. It's likely we'll add an API for arbitrary TCP eventually, but at the moment it's not possible that this traffic comes from Workers.

(As far as where it did come from, I don't have any internal knowledge, but WARP traffic (that's our VPN-like service) seems like an obvious explanation to me.)
I'd argue written notes / minutes do help in a toxic culture.

I've had the obligatory interactions with a few backstabbing and/or passively aggressive teams, and when things eventually explode and work their way up the leadership chain (hopefully to someone with more sense), it's a quick knife through "you said / they said" to produce a written document from a meeting 3 months ago, where the assumptions you've been operating under were agreed to by the other team.

Obligatory: producing said doc in this context makes you an asshole, and is a nuclear escalation. But some (rare) times call for that.

(If it's a habit, you should probably reflect on yourself and/or find a healthier place to work)
If it isn't "allowed" (the parent's word), it is some degree of prevention.
Anyone knows how to get that voice to work in Reader Mode in Firefox on Debian?
Very cool - I'll take a look. Thank you.
It helps to start slow with standing desks. Having a desk you can switch between sitting and standing will allow you to work your way up to standing longer over time. It also helps to have the right shoes and a soft mat to help absorb some of your standing weight, since just standing is not exactly great for your body over long periods of time.
Except directly on the equator. Then, feel free to just sit on your ass all day.

I do freelancing and I hate calls in general.

There are people out there who would not even give a single sentence description of what they want rather it is "when can you jump on a call with me".

They assume the task is difficult to explain in text but to me it often sounds like they don't even have an idea of what they want really.

They want me to hold their hands and lead them through a journey of self discovery while on the ride we discover joy and surprise and at the end of the tunnel only to discover the project is radically abstract and the client is not happy to pay on a per hour basis.
> poor people can't be expected to read books, or eat vegetables, or go for walks, or tell their kids to do their homework, or help their kids to read, etc, etc. None of these things require money.

Those things still require free time. Having these as values and being able to regularly practice them are two different things. I don't see how that fact is "well meaning crap".
> I think that’s invalidated if your first point is valid right?

No. There's evidence that COVID-19 was not created by direct genetic manipulation.

If they did it, it's not COVID-19.
Browser competition doesn't matter much for interoperability, because they don't restrict what sites you can use. It's only a risk if browsers start banning sites like the app stores do.

And open source Chromium and Firefox are bulwark against that, with active fork ecosystems.
Oh yeah, I remember those steam powered humanoids picking cotton in the fields.
welco.me looks fun! Thank you - luck graciously received.
Let me correct that for you. Novel virus start spreading near a lab setup specifically to study those viruses, in an area where they’re known to be naturally occurring, and where it was suspected they could make the jump to humans.

The lab in Wuhan was studying Coronaviruses because of the threat they potentially posed to humans, and because the nearby bat populations were know to carry them.

Saying that the existence of a lab studying novel viruses in their natural habitat is evidence that I can from a lab, is like saying the existence of fire stations in a cities is evidence that fire fighters start fires.
> The only way we'll get significant change is when it becomes economic to do so.

I think this is the consistent empirical fact. People say and think they act in the public interest, but in reality they follow incentives.

This could in theory be fixed with Carbon Taxes, but they turn out to be politically impossible in most places.

So I think the only path is developing new technology that is cheaper and better per kWh. Solar and battery tech is coming along quite well.

> New coal plants aren't built (mostly)

China is building new coal plants at a furious pace:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-coal/chinas-new-coa...

"Including decommissions, China’s coal-fired fleet capacity rose by a net 29.8 GW in 2020, even as the rest of the world made cuts of 17.2 GW"
Does that mean that you automatically block IPs that try to login on port 22 (since they are obviously malicious/port scannners)? If yes, is there any specialized daemon for that or are you using firewall rules? Or are you running a SSH honeypot on port 22?
> also the genetic engineering was slated to happen in North Carolina...

This is honestly the most damning part of evidence.

China has shown over and over their current strategy is to snap up resources, countries and partnerships that the West, and specifically the United States, refuse or ignore.

China would have strong motivation to have SARS related research considering SARS originates in their country.

So we have a country with strong motivation, lots of money and a repeated willingness to ignore ethical & safety concerns... I don't see how it isn't a big question mark. Especially considering how quickly and forcefully China shut down the conversation and refuse to allow in investigators.

Agreed! I cant tell if they mean people dont wear the right types of or fresh enough masks, if they're in denial that masks work, or what...? Just sounds kind of bitter and meaningless. But Im genuinely curious about their perspective.
It’s not ignoring the rules if the rules are structured in a way to solve the problem but at the same time allow some exceptions in exchange for something.

I guess it comes down to what you are trying to achieve. Do you want to cut down the emissions dramatically or are you after some kind of engine equality ideal?
I am really puzzled by "production is a spectrum". Production means that the code is run with a support team to an sla - the support team must have accepted it to service and be confident that they can deal with what might go wrong.

That's production.

One interesting thing happening right now is that there are an unusual amount of RSV cases at this time of the year. See the graf on this page: https://www.ssi.dk/aktuelt/nyheder/2021/helt-ekstraordinart-...

I wonder if other diseases/illnesses will shift in the same way for a while until everything normalizes to regular seasonal patterns.

Coal, oil and nuclear received gigantic subsidies and reseacrh funding over the course of five or more decades. The support given to renewables is laughable in comparison.
I think RSS is a way to read social media, it's not a replacement for social media. But that's a good thing! I just want to stay updated with blogs, forums, and social media – in one place.

I still comment, reply, and interact, but I only have to check one website for updates.

You don't have to believe it, but why would chip shortages impact used cars.

You were the one who assumed it was new new cars.

Part of the reason that used cars are in such short supply is that so many bought the used ones up.

We had an epidemic in my city of people with cars who never had one before, accidents everywhere. Paper plates were all you saw for months.

The bus lines speak for themselves.

The used cars didn't increase in value until well into the pandemic.

Blah blah sometimes explaining the real world to people in bubbles gets so old.
How does that follow? Where did the virus come from? Viruses don’t spontaneously come into existence in labs.

If it wasn’t made in the lab, then it was already naturally occurring. Which means it didn’t need to escape anything, on account of it existing in the wild before it ever got near a lab.
