That sounds very familiar. I think they might’ve done it to source the milling machines used when they switched to the unibody MacBook pros?
As I understand evolution: life has no plan, goal, aim or intention. It’s endless amounts of parallel and random experimentation over billions of years. And this has led to biological structures that have certain tendencies that work well: cells, reproduction, energy consumption, sexual reproduction. On top of that life has evolved to have behaviour and other attributes that work in certain context: immune systems, locomotion, fur, gills, adaptability, use of tools, creative problem solving.
Is any of that different to other biological organisms except the mutation rate?
In addition there was a marked change in tone from when they were in China.
I subscribed and enjoyed that content and the two Exploring documentaries. Really good content.

When they left China it started to sound like highly personalized hate speech. I initially assumed that it was because they were upset at having their livelihoods up-ended and a sense of rejection. But... initially they had great plans for wide-ranging travel documentaries which did not seem to pan out ... so it seems like the next-best thing is Five Minutes Hate against our enemies in East Asia.

Sad to see them degenerate, but not living there now they are not much of a source of information.
I think you are taking that point too literally. Yes, of course anything a government undertakes on will be built by private enterprise at some level. However, the heart of these talking points were about how governments bankrolled the financing necessary to make the developments, whereas now it has shifted a little toward private enterprise. If it weren't for the funding, private companies of the past would rarely have embarked on making such things.
so you are spying over your neighbors and report about them too? ... I do not think so but such kind of attitude photographers experience too frequently when they are trying to do their job.

Yeah that's definitely worse than normal. Though not wildly out of the norm either. A significant fraction typically are diverting to ICUs at other hospitals, but normally not half the hospitals.
I think because it's a consistent pattern, so its causes may reveal something interesting about human nature or society.

I solved this problem by filtering for "Prime" shipping, until one day I noticed that I was getting free Prime shipping on a third-party sale that shipped from China and would arrive in 30-45 days.

If it's gonna take over a month to deliver and it's not a car, it better damn well be free shipping.

Now I solve the problem by only ordering from more local companies; Best Buy is surely not local, but the local best buy is a lot more local than Chinese third-party sellers of counterfeit goods.

Oh, and let's not forget that Amazon allows you to ship counterfeits and claim they're real, and then Amazon will mix them all together and sell your counterfeits to their customers and their legitimate products to your customers.
>So far china has been able to basically be covid-free by using local strategies, something we havent seen in the west

This was effectively the approach New Zealand took but it wasn't sustainable. Maybe it would be more effective when implemented by an authoritarian regime (although difficult to measure given issues with transparency) but even then it won't last. China's going to have to start learning to live with Covid like every other country has had to.

Because all blockchain tech is about creating new types of digital assets that can be bought and sold. The specifics vary, but the whole field is about financializing things. Why else would you design POAPs - a supposed proof of life experiences - in a way where they can be bought and sold?
I don't think the UK is a good country to project from when it comes to matters of surveillance. They're quite on the extreme end.
Reified generics avoid a lot of "boxing" that comes with standard Java, and that's only one of many features there that helps. Its just easier to avoid allocations in .NET in general over Java IMO. From recent articles and improvements to the platform the team spend their effort to reduce allocations in the first place equal to trying to improve the GC (e.g. ValueTask over Java/Scala futures, etc)

Yes this is true for appliances not so much for electronics. Just follow the apple products as an example. By the time Black Friday roles around we have the newer laptops and the older ones are almost always on sale.
I would say they have meaning in a different sense - not as a message but their origin as proof. They are fundamentally proof of the "tautological mechanism" of evolution. It isn't a matter of life but that things which can survive over time and are produced over time will have a higher number existing at once than ones which perish and are not produced. This holds regardless of the how and why.

Native copper ore got largely picked up and used by humans rendering such deposits "extinct" from early civilizations and lead to the practice of mining after the low hanging fruit was used up.
I loved the Martian. I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

It's not a profound book that explores any great ideas, but it was a fun main character, entertaining plot and a few good laughs.
That’s fair. Nintendo can’t make the game publishers do anything in an open ecosystem. What they can do is maintain a list of good game publishers and encourage people to buy from that list. Again, arguably easier to do now with say the Nintendo website, then back before high availability of internet.

From Nintendo’s perspective, locked hardware makes sense. They risk being locked out of profits from other publishers.

However, I’m not convinced that’s the case from a consumer perspective. The reason you gave in the original comment was that consumers suffered from the open platform. I still disagree with that. Consumers suffered because the platform was open AND there was no trusted source for quality control. You don’t have to take away 1) for consumers to not accidentally get terrible games, you just have to have a trusted source which tells consumers which games are good so that 2) isn’t the case. As soon as consumers know they can buy good games directly from Nintendo (or from blessed retailers), the onus for running crapware is on them.
Norway, too. You can see that they start to ramp up the price slowly a month or two before. At least here, we have laws against bogus sales - you have to sell so and so many items for the "normal" price, or have them listed for a certain period, before you can put them on such sales.

Not sure how much these (marketing) laws are enforced, though. Some 10 years ago, when everyone and their sister tried their hand at drop-shipping, you'd get drowned by these "99% sale" ads, where people would try to sell AliExpress watches/jackets/etc. for $100-$200, with some ridiculous before price. ("Before: $5000 - Now: $100", etc.)
Like humans? :)
They only co-mingle the same item. Usually we hear about co-mingling when someone lists their counterfeits as real items, but if you create your own "product" with its own SKU and UPC code that isn't the same as existing products, it won't get co-mingled.
If "update" refers to updating the mRNA message to create the new S' protein in order to prompt your immune system to produce S' abs then I think you will be disappointed. This sort of "update" will almost certainly trigger a recall of the former S abs due to immunogenic imprinting. See also: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28479213/
Natural monopolies are supposed to be heavily regulated though even if they aren't illegal. If you don't regulate them, they'll abuse the market by being monopolies. The fact that they are natural simply means it's an area where they are very likely to occur due to high cost of entering the market.

Like imagine not regulating a natural monopoly that provides electricity. They'll serve only areas they want and will not serve the rest. Good idea? Nope. Requiring them to serve areas equally is a proper method exactly because it's a natural monopoly.
I think we are misunderstanding each other. I asked why it matters if Vincent being wrong means that the scientists that wrote the article would be wrong. To me it is a natural thing that happens in science. Of course the scientists can be wrong?

Leadership is definitely somewhere I can improve. I'll check out the book, thanks. I feel in my last leadership position I was too friendly, giving my team too much room to not be serious to improve. In a not insignificant way it contributed to me burning out there, so I'm still figuring out a better approach.

Someone that I consider my spiritual teacher once told me: "you can't be in Love with someone if you're not also in Truth with them." I really like that.

From a Christian perspective I prioritize the Truth aspect of Logos. I feel that is lacking in today's communication where people would rather be untruthful than risk being seen as unkind or risk not receiving love. It sounds like you are authentic in your expression however so that's great :)

It demonstrates the colour coding that fish gives to indicate if the command is valid (blue) or invalid (red). The video starts off with some other shell that doesn't do this and then runs the same commands again in fish.
In my head at least, backups are a subset of disaster recovery.

They are linked, but you can do backups without doing disaster recovery (for example, just turning on TimeMachine backups to a usb drive on your Mac is “backups” without being “disaster recovery”), but you can’t do disaster recovery without backups. But you also need archives, and retention policies, and recovery procedures and test plans, and training and practice for the people responsible for DR, and hardware/site/network disaster recovery plans and resources, and recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives, and a whole bunch of other “not directly backup” related stuff.

But I admit that colloquially that might all be assumed in certain contexts to be “backups”, but that’s a probably dangerous assumption unless everybody in that discussion is totally on the same page about just how much of that related disaster recovery stuff is actually in place and ready.

There isn't a language that can replace php in 2021. Javascript doesn't have the size of build-in library. Golang is compiled and limited, blank spaces/tabs will kill a Python program. Ruby /rails is slower. All are harder to host. What could you replace php with?

The tales of legacy mistakes holding back php are things with no basis in reality. What legacy mistake holds php back? Method names/parameter ordering?

When I started with php in 2001 those elite programmers at meetups were looking down at php because Java was cool. In 2003 those elite programmers thought php should die because asp took over. PHP kept going along quietly taking over the web until the facebook movie came out making PHP cool for a moment. Those elite programmers decided PHP was too mainstream and the why PHP sucked movement started. The elite guys moved to Ruby On Rails then node/MongoDB, angularjs, React, Nextjs leaving each ecosystem for the next hoping that one day they will strike gold.
Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all!

> Bottom line to remember about any wolf studies is this: they don't transfer to other wolf locations. This paper is relevant for Wisconsin only.

How and why? Are Wisconsin wolves somehow fundamentally different than other wolves; a different species or something? I find your thesis hard to swallow. Occam's razor suggests that since they're wolves, they behave like other wolves.
That's fair, but when people have opinions based on weak evidence, they should hold those opinions weakly, rather than reinforcing them to others.
Hmmm I'm totally just babbling here but this makes me think if it'd be possible to just engineer a harmless strain that is more effective at being transmitted (or perhaps even circumvents vaccines better). Then instead of worrying about vaccinating people we could just try to have that strain spread faster than the harmful ones

A similar thing happened in some South American countries with a cholera outbreak. Strains that made people more sick forced them to stay inside whereas the more harmless strains allowed people to socialize more and the harmless ones ended up spreading faster

"Fear of the Virus is Racially Motivated."

Around the time the Trump administration announced the travel restriction, Biden said that Trump had a “record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering.”

In late January, the Trump administration implemented a travel restriction from China, where the coronavirus originated.

Some on the left described the move as a racist or xenophobic ploy aimed at punishing a country that Trump has clashed with over trade.

Yeah by the time fast spreading variants get picked up by the press, they usually are indeed more transmissible, rather than merely founder effects / super spreader events. We've seen this time and time again to the point that the rational evaluation is to assume the new variant is indeed more transmissible. Especially for this variant which is overtaking Delta so quickly that it can't really be explained by super spreader events.

Mutation rate and, relatedly, short generations and huge numbers of copies.
I mean, if you invest in crypto to make money, you're merely betting someone else will give you more money than you paid. And that person in turn is thinking the same. How can this work forever? It's a zero sum game. There's no value being created or dividends being paid.
Not the first time that I've looked for an article about Italian culture, and there's articles in multiple languages but not Italian.

I think that umarells are an interesting phenomenon. They sound like they were annoying construction workers (bikeshedding) but rather than treat them as a nuisance (loitering->fines or jail), a purpose was found: they get paid an honorarium for "jobs" most of us would find eyewateringly boring but provide value for the construction companies.
It’s an intentional misrepresentation of Pelosi and others decrying violence against Asian people.
My mother had one installed in the moid-seventies, it was a nine-days wonder in the village (well, Toronto’s Little Italy pre-gentrification).

She also had the hard-wired phone handsets rewired to use big, clunky four-prong plugs, so she could install a RadioShack-branded answering machine that was the size of a small suitcase. They hadn’t invented controllers that could rewind the outgoing message cassette, so you had to use a special cassette with an infinite loop.

You’d think that back then we had to walk uphill to AND from school, in a blizzard, in June, but actually, the weather wasn’t much worse than today and yes, hang out on my lawn all you like.

I did feel a bit bad writing it, but it was for the purpose of countering the appeal to authority. This is a epidemiological question, and being a professor of virology doesn't make you an expert at that. So the outcome was that Racaniello ended up recommending inaction, since he'd only accept evidence from his own field (i.e. lab work).

I know this is not for everyone but I have been loving Home-Assistant. It requires a local server and the initial setup requires some docker knowledge (unless you go the RasPi route), but after that I am impressed by how much of it "just works". I ordered a bunch of TP-Link smart switches, installed the Kasa add-on (in the Home Assistant interface, no terminal there) and it basically just works!

I think like every tech that is emerging the first few iterations are rough around the edges, but in my experience once it actually works, it is surprisingly useful. My lights are turned off automatically, my air cleaner starts when the PM10 particules are above a specific threshold, I get a notification when the CO2 level is too high in my home office, the growth light for my hydroponic garden are automated and the coffee machine turns itself on in the morning!
Note that in the Star Trek universe, the Star Trek economy only developed after WW3 destroyed basically all governments and major cities, along with killing 600M people in a nuclear holocaust.

This seems to be a common feature of world history: major changes in social systems only happen after widespread warfare destroys everything, and eventually people get sick of the death and destruction, vowing "never again" for approximately the next 80 years.
We could make the new vaccine in days, but then it would take many months to pass through all the regulatory barriers.

If the GOP had been smart they'd have been hammering Biden for that instead of doing whatever the hell they are doing. This was a prime opportunity to go "see? Government regulation is bad."
> The reality is that there’s a fundamental difference in that in Europe police is just another government branch that’s helping people, like firefighters and doctors; normal people don’t need to fear them and avoid any unnecessary interactions, which seems to be the case in the US.

I'm German. Our cops are infamous for racial profiling and can, at least according to several independent investigations, even get away with murdering people in their jail cells (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oury_Jalloh).
Then the early sign is an AI than can self-improve, which current AIs are too narrow to do. Fortunately, our technology isn't there yet, the first singularity would crash or run out of resources. I hope the next iterations will be developed in isolation after showing spontaneous exponential growth.
