Lol.
I want to take the contrarian take to most people in this thread.

Sure, lab leak could be true and with all the available evidence, could very well be true but the confirmation of of it being true may have more far reaching domestic and geopolitical ramifications that may do more harm than good.

It seems like there's some game theory going on within the political sphere of many western governments in that increasing anti-China sentiment by confirming lab leak could further put us down the path to an eventual confrontation (read: war) with China, in which we lose a lot more.

The only thing we gain by admitting to lab leak is the truth but is the truth (that we've pretty much deduced at this point) worth worsening relations not only politically but gives anti-Chinese factions in the west more evidence as a prelude to war?
> sent expensive lawyers to lie to the judge about the judge's power to subpoena digital evidence.

You're being unreasonable here since it is a very grey area.

If Apple is compelled for example to hand over encryption keys to a judge (which often means a bunch of junior lawyers) then that would infringe everybody's right to have their information be secure.
Vaccine mandates make sense for the same reason drunk driving bans make sense: externalities.

what if they hacked your software for interoperability with non-evil activities?

For anyone looking to stay on an open source solution: Keepass databases, synced using whatever sync tool floats your boat (syncthing, Nextcloud, iCloud etc.)

On Android I used KeepassXC and syncthing.

All ownership (digital or not) is nothing but a social contract. The cryptocurrency (or normal currency) exists because enough people agree to recognise it.

Vaccination pushes the survivability rate closer to 100%. We also have some improved treatments that have recently boosted the survival rate.

What's their theory of standing to sue over damage to their customers?

Edit: the main point is this (from the CFAA count):

Defendants’ actions caused Apple to incur a loss as defined by 18 U.S.C.
§ 1030(e)(11), in an amount in excess of $5,000 during a one-year period, including the
expenditure of resources to investigate and remediate Defendants’ conduct. Apple is entitled to
compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial, as well as injunctive relief or other
equitable relief. See 18 U.S.C. § 1030(g).
if you go that far in your analysis, you should also include long covid in your risk assessment.

Complaint threads on reddit probably. I don't have to watch video game reviews anymore at least, I just wait for the community on reddit to explode positively or negatively towards the game developer then I make my purchase or not. If you only went off the puff pieces in game reviews you'd be buying every title to come out. This works for a lot of stuff thats popular on reddit at least. Not sure where else I can find good communities online of people complaining and calling out shortcomings in products.
Same. I use Lockwise on iOS. The tone of the email I've just received about this from Mozilla makes it sound as if they've done something wonderful and they're giving themselves a pat on the back which is even more maddening.

Chrysler 300s have been on the road for a long time. Just because new one is in the $35k range doesn’t mean that one from 10-15 years ago is that expensive. Chryslers also generally depreciate faster than say a Toyota Camry or Corolla.
Smells like Turbo (and related frameworks) to me, which isn't a bad thing. From my brief use of CRA, I can see why many people are attracted to it, but the fact that a bunch of JS has to download before anything happens is never far from my mind.

> Fine, but my point is there is no reason for Brexit to be a net negative when it comes to the funding of PhDs - if anything, it offers an opportunity to be more effective at funding.

This works only if you assume that the amount of money stayed the same. For now, there has been a flux of capital and business moving over to the continent. Trade decreased as well. This can change in the long run, depending on the policy of the Bank of England, but for now Brexit is a net loss in British government funding. Besides the fact that the money that was supposed to be saved was also supposed to be spent simultaneously on the NHS, infrastructure, and developing the “northern powerhouse” (of cards, unfortunately, as the North of England gets shafted again).
Yes. It’s pretty caustic to build a society on noble lies like you are proposing.

"But they also need to find some funding source that doesn't make them beholden to Google or Microsoft. They have been desperately trying to do that."

I agree. How about we do some executive cuts at Mozilla then? $2.4 million for the top exec over there, maybe to $300K or so which is closer to average for a nonprofit, would be a free $2 million per year. It's not like those executives have been successful in any way to merit that cash.

I'm just stuck with that, I want Firefox to succeed, but the leadership has real problems. And they need cash flow, but side projects aren't doing it, so double-down already on your success and try to claw back slowly - don't flee from what's working.

Maybe even Fight Dirty. I have never figured out why Firefox doesn't pretend to be Chrome on Google websites or try to hide the "Download Chrome" or "Unsupported Browser" popups. Microsoft doesn't care in their quest, Firefox shouldn't either.
> When do we fork Firefox because Mozilla is a failure at their job?

When we can and will do better.

FWIW, I heard Mozilla is offering full refunds to everyone that purchased Lockwise, which is way better than you'd get from any for-profit company.
All I know is I wore one and so did all my friends and it cut through all of us like a knife through butter. Nobody was spared. People think masks are going to save them. In my experience, they prevented nothing of consequence to me or the people I interact with.
What, EU has big inflation problem as well. The real economy problems might start Feb 2022 from China according to Cathie Wood. I think investor know and rush to IPOs till the sun is shining.

Also agree that EU does distribution wrong way. It would be better if they simply gave more cash to extend reach of already succesful companies, maybe. Or just sane law to fund startups via shares EU wide.
As other commenters noted, this is a prototype so it would have been done by hand with an English wheel and similar forming tools.

The three major CDNs (Akamai, Cloudflare and Fastly) all support code execution at the edge, and all have (or will have) storage at the edge too

There's also a real question of whether Vercel and Netlify are really at the edge when they’re mainly running in AWS, GCP etc data centers rather than deploying their own hardware at edge locations, ISPs etc.

Don't get me wrong I think Vercel and Netlify are interesting but they seem to talk about being ‘on the edge’ while they really aren’t ATM
Keepass + your choice of file sync. Keepass's database has file-based locking so it's safe to sync just via filesystem.

I like KeepassXC one Android and MacOS; Keepassium free-tier on iOS works great. On Android you can use syncthing, but syncthing doesn't work on iOS, so I use NextCloud to sync everything now.
It appears that the Mozilla project is not just copying Chrome's look and feel for browser releases, but also copying Google's strategy of launching things and then abandoning them.

The gravity would be constant if the rotation was constant. No sure what you mean by 'no friction'. Friction against the wall?
If you think that israel is doing anything not sanctioned by the US government you are mistaken. In Israel NSO cant make a move without 7 agencies regulating it. This is considered a weapon sale. The same weapons the US are sponsoring israel and buy them from israeli industry. There is no way NSO will fail from this. So eula or whatever these are matters between states for national security interests.

How about sugar? Sure it seems innocuous enough, but some people get effectively addicted to it, developing diseases and conditions that can prevent them from working their chosen profession or die and "destroy" their family unit.

Have I heard about diabetics refusing to change their diets and dying, yes.

Does that mean we should outlaw sugar? Probably not, plenty of people struggle with obesity and sugar is a major contributing factor, but there's plenty of responsible adults that can consume sugar in moderation.

I also imagine there are a non-zero number of people that begin using more pure forms of caffeine in ways that are damaging to their relationships, health, and careers.
Ooh, this is spot on.

> The fact that early-stage founders continue to take their money has to be some sort of delusional grandiosity, in my humble opinion. “Well yes, they fire half the CEOs they back, but surely not me.”

Having started companies, delusional grandiosity is almost a requirement, especially if you're going to take venture capital. I mean, just look at the odds. So it makes perfect sense to me that the VCs happily take advantage of it.
This is an important point - I think a lot of us tech people like to think "no it only exists on the internet the govt can't touch it! It's like international waters!", but then you have countries that can completely restrict or shut down the internet. As long as the infrastructure exists in the real world and is controlled by a govt, then the "imaginary online stuff" is still ultimately under their control. Even in "the matrix" someone was still running all those computers and could turn them off if they wanted.
Well, as confirmed by your [1], vaccinated people can transmit the virus during a much shorter duration. That's bound to severely decrease R among vaccinated crowds.
If the company makes bucketlots of money, the board isn't going to change the CEO, even if he would be a total arse in board meetings. I think it has to be repeated that investors want returns for their investments. Also, if the company happens to make money despite of lousy CEO, the board will highly probably keep the lousy CEO.

All these founder-centric stories makes it looks like board will fire the CEO just for fun, or just because they happen to get the idea out of the blue. Actually it is a lot of pain and work for the board to try to find a new (better) CEO and they probably realize that they will fail (statistically speaking). So, the board will fire the CEO only in a situation where they genuinely believe that average replacement from the market will do a better job running the company. They don't fire on a whim.
This is my experience with Dollar General when on trips and stopping for cheap snacks. Only the no brand generic items are cheap. Name brand items are not.

It sounds believable but again don’t have a source for you.

To be honest, how Cloudflare Workers work is a bit of a mystery to me as I've only done some very basic prototyping with the service (and not really focusing on the "edge" aspect of them), but it seems like the important "stuff" that makes them what they are is how they are deployed.

I am REALLY going to show my ignorance here, but is there some chance that the idea is these "workers" are intended to be deployed in the users browser for example, as actual service workers or something? i.e. is this more of a framework for creating service workers vs running in the "backend"?

> They know their cushy careers and research grants are gone if they normalize the lab leak.

These sorts of comments on HN are always fascinating to me.

Scientific researchers make $20K/yr for 6 years of their 20s, often working 60 hour - 80 hour weeks. If they are successful, around the age of 30 they will then make between $40K and $60K in a temporary, term-limited position (post-doc). This might repeat several times -- each more stressful than the last -- until they land a permanent job. Still working like dogs the whole time, btw. That final permanent job, which very few will ever actually get, probably pays between $60K and $100K. A very lucky few among the lucky few might make up to $200K by the time they turn 40, but most will never surpass $150K in their lives.

My undergrad mentees all make $160K+ as 22 year olds, often get to $300K pretty quickly, and will max out in the >$500K range some time in their 30s.

Software folks accusing life scientists of getting fat off of research grant money is really something else.

You missed the key word "only" in my comment. Yes, they certainly make it clear they earn affiliate commission, which is fine. But what they do not make clear is the fact that they will totally ignore products that do not allow them to earn a commission, or at best, they will put them very far down on the list for some strange reason that doesn't really align with their explanation or lack thereof. This is very misleading.
I intensely dislike the cynicism of this and other similar statements.

It's a truism of American culture that any group of people is somehow stupider, meaner, and more hurtful than any of its individual members. Yet our lived daily experience is that often our most rewarding, beneficial, and joyful experiences come when being a member of a group.

I mean, we are a group right here and right now in this thread and I assume everyone participating still feels it is a net positive for them to do so. The idea that all groups become bureaucracies, mobs, or totalitarian regimes is this weird extreme perversion of American values. Call it toxic individuality.

I think a value-free and more accurate observation is that emergent properties exist: a group can have observed properties that are counter to the intentions of any of its individual members. The aggregation process itself can be dynamic, iterative, and complex in ways that break a simple coupling between invidual intent and total outcome.

This can be bad, when otherwise sane reasonable people get riled up in a mob. Or it can be good, when a choir's tone sounds more in key than any of its individual singers. It's highly dependent on both the individual members and the communication structure of the group.
