With often same great sized packaging only with smaller amounts inside. Very wasteful. Deodorant, chips, pills, etc all look like a normal sized bottle but in reality is a smaller size for dollar stores. I have also heard things like canned goods of say a brand of soup they have special made for places like Costco that demand higher quality ingredients where the dollar store would get lower quality versions. Perhaps cheaper meat or less of it. Still tastes like the original just that it’s not actually nutritionally the same.
Current start up is in their profile.
"Some vibration" doesn't give the same feeling in the reader as the techs and engineers on the floor felt when they heard a 10 Bn USD science project that millions of people are hoping to learn from crashes into the ground.
If a person has enough experience at contracting to lean on that reliably, or enough skill to earn ~$80k-$100k per year (to build enough savings quickly for a good runway), then it's definitely not the ideal route to pull a part-time $15/hr type job (it'd be a waste of time).

And it only works well for younger people without a family, as it'll involve 70-80 hours of work per week (at least in the beginning).

It's a poor(er) person's scenario. It's what I might do if I were 19-21 years old again. Back then, circa 1999-2001, I did a lot of web development contracting to fund building things I wanted to build with the rest of my time. It was a quite unreliable path though, as some months were flush and others were bleak. Poor people in that scenario usually don't have degrees from nice universities, they often can't easily get good engineering jobs early on. And if they have an aversion to working for other people/companies, as I always have, then that complicates the context further (CVS & Co are mostly drone jobs; POS, scan bar codes, greet customers, bag items, stock shelves, repeat; and it might help reduce development burnout, as it gets you away from code and out of the house). If you're young'ish, poor'ish and without a ton of experience, it provides a highly workable avenue to go after building a thing you want to build, self-funded, while cutting out the need for early outside capital (the need to give up a piece of your soul to the sharks).
This is the unfortunate truth on the psychological side. There is simply no motivation to push the lab leak theory for those scientists involved. Not for the chinese because that would be their death sentence and not for the outside world because funding and restrictions will get a lot harsher. On the other side everyone can live with the other theories because they imply more research funding and no one has to die for political reasons.
Of course, I invite readers to treat Carl Jung quotations as having a credibility proportional to the amount of efforts he made during his life to properly prove and establish the facts he was enunciating: not much.
Ask Rogers, the board just tried to fire the CEO, the CEO just tried to fire the board, but those elections happen at a different time, and the CEO need the trustee of the family shares to agree.

A Pentium 100 with 32 MB was a monster box.

If you had a 486-100 with 4 MB and playing MP3s and not noticing, that would be lean.

There were other players out there. I remember using K-Jofol, but I don't remember if it had a reputation for being leaner or just having wild skins. I know mpg321 exists which is integer only decoding for speed (it made a difference on my super low end box), but I don't know if it was available at the right time.
Don’t most people just spam right arrow to skip through sponsor segments anyway? For me, sponsorblock just automates this process. As others mentioned, it’s pretty granule and has a lot of options for things like intros, intermissions, etc in addition to sponsor segments.
> Can an upset judge decide to put the NSO leaders and employees on a terrorist list?

They can hold them in contempt, which leads to arrest warrants. Default judgements can then enable the creditor, in this case Apple, to start seizing assets. But TL; DR no, a judge can't put someone on a terrorist list; that's a national security and thus executive function.
This wouldn't surprise me in the least, in shooting games. People don't like watching someone getting their ass kicked.

Also, to succeed as a streamer you have to stream ~40 hours a week or more, and there's something called "aim fatigue". After an hour or so without breaks, your aim goes downhill. Anyone who maintains amazing aim for hours of continuous play is cheating. That's why you see experienced, successful streamers taking breaks, or interspersing "hang out time" or a non-aim-based game, etc.

Stream framerates / compression can make it difficult to tell what's going on, and using a controller means it's nearly impossible to see whether their controller movement matches on-screen movement. But controller aim assist is so strong in many games these days that if you have experience with a controller you can easily dominate all but the top mouse and keyboard players.

Shooting-based games just aren't fun these days. Between the cheaters and the streamers you get your ass handed to you pretty regularly, except when matchmaking throws you an easy game to keep you from rage-quitting.
That's an odd phrasing of the question, since normally we talk about rights of the employees being protected.

Java has a pretty decent standard library with different list, map and set implementations and quite a few third party libraries with yet more data structures. Honestly, Go felt a bit primitive and verbose to me on that front on the few times I used it. Simplicity has a price and some limitations.

There are also other tricks you can do like for example using off heap memory (e.g. Lucene does this), using array buffers, or using native libraries. There obviously is a lot of very memory intensive, widely used software written for the JVM and no shortage of dealing with all sorts of memory related challenges. I'd even go as far as to argue that quite a few of those software packages might be a little out of the comfort zone for Go. Maybe if it were used more for such things, there would be increased demand for better GCs as well?

Object pooling is pretty common for things like connection pools. For example apache commons pool is used for doing connection pooling (database, http, redis, etc.) in Spring Boot and probably a lot more products. Also there are thread pools, worker pools and probably quite a few more that are pretty widely used and quite a few of those come with the Java standard library. Caching libraries are also pretty common and well supported popular web frameworks like Spring.

A typical Java based search or database software product (Elasticsearch, Kafka, Casandra, etc.) is likely to use all of the above. Likewise for things like Hadoop, Spark, Neo4j, etc.

Of course there's a difference between Java the language and the JVM, which is also targeted by quite a few other languages. For example, I've been using Kotlin for the last few years. There are functional languages like Scala and Clojure. And people even run scripting languages on jython, jruby, groovy, or javascript on it.

There even have been some attempts to make Go run on the JVM. Apparently performance, concurrency and memory management were big motivators for attempting that (you know, stuff the JVM does at scale): https://githubmemory.com/repo/golang-jvm/golang-jvm

Their pitch: "You can use go-jvm simply as a faster version of Golang, you can use it to run Golang on the JVM and access powerful JVM libraries such as highly tuned concurrency primitives, you can use it to embed Golang as a scripting language in your Java program, or many other possibilities."

Affiliate links are a cancer along with the rest of the advertising-surveillance industry, and it's best to avoid contributing however you can. I do all my product research with a different nym (separate browser VM and IP address) from what I actually login and checkout with.

In general the web was at its best decades ago, when people published because they knew things and were internally compelled to share. Despite the drop in quality and overwhelming prevalence of shameless blogspam (from which Wirecutter is one or two steps up), I prefer to continue acting as if that information sharing is still the overriding motivation.

Very few well-paying professions are as informal and laissez faire as tech. In fact, lots of pretty poorly paying professions have strict conduct expectations.

Even just a spouse or friend group with a different sense of humor would be a deterrent.

Again, there are lots of social groups that don't think it's funny to illegally broadcast your ass being slapped by a flyswatter to the city of Chicago.
"If the hydrogen is sourced from an electrolysis unit, the power consumption (for hydrogen generation only) will be approximately 10.5 MWh per ton methanol."

That does seem like a lot of energy to create very little fuel, which is going to be released again as CO2 anyway.
Legal methods are a crutch at best. Apple would be wise to put forth the same budget into their security team's research and development and properly address these weaknesses.

Because it's almost inherently conspiracy fodder, true or not.

It tickles the part of human psychology that looks for threat agents, rather than just threats.

Lots of us here on the more analytical side might have trouble understanding that fully, especially if we relate to Fauci's early 2020 statements which more or less amount to "it doesn't really matter which plausible origin turns out to be the case, either way the task in front of us is to figure out how to mitigate the damage and address the virus."

It could have been a lab leak. It could have been (and now looks more likely to have been [0][1]) natural spillover from increasing contact with zoonotic reservoirs. What's the difference?

The answer to that question on a practical level is re-thinking safety protocols for related research (and perhaps a conversation about the risks of conducting viral research vs the risks of viral ignorance).

On a less practical level, though, the answer is that it prompts inhabiting a narrative where they key issue is human threat agents.

The irony is that many of the people who choose that as the most important thing to pay attention seem slower to consider how human threat agents might use that narrative.

Why would I take a vaccine that is suggested by the same guy, Fauci, that created the virus?

We know it is a fact that the Wuhan Lab produced the virus and was funded directly by taxpayer money for gain of function research.

They now have concentration camps in Australia - 38 people were rounded up and arrested two nights ago and taken there for the crime of testing positive.

I sometimes feel as though entertainment IS becoming a large part of culture. If I never watch TV or listen to the music, nor watch videos on the internet, suddenly I'm cut off from entire conversations that are happening. I feel like I need to be plugged in to entertainment in order to truly understand the culture. But I can't say how much this would be true in 1950s America, or in other countries like Nigeria or Bangladesh

Of course not. Google, Facebook, Twitter and Tiktok will almost certainly comply. The actual requirements for presence in Russia seem to be minimal.
yes honestly I'm surprised that so much attention is devoted to lab leaks and state actors who at least have a self-preservation instinct compared to explicit bioterrorism by groups with an ideological death wish.

Not sure we're super far away from the moment where these technologies become cheap and simple enough to cause mayhem. Ever since the sarin gas attack in tokyo in the 90s I've honestly wondered how this isn't already a much bigger issue.
Of Gore's involvement in the then-developing Internet while in Congress, Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn have also noted that,

> As far back as the 1970s Congressman Gore promoted the idea of high-speed telecommunications as an engine for both economic growth and the improvement of our educational system. He was the first elected official to grasp the potential of computer communications to have a broader impact than just improving the conduct of science and scholarship ... the Internet, as we know it today, was not deployed until 1983.
It is Hacker News trope really, more and more evidence mounts that it was indeed - a lab leak, there has been lengthy research reports from journalists on this matter, but Hacker News remains in doubt. Which is strange, one kind of expects Hackers to weight everything and see if theory withholds scrutiny.

Same thing happens with that ultrasound attack against US diplomates in Cuba, Hacker news users claim it was just grasshopers while more and more evidence mounts it was a Russian attack.

This brings memories. I also got „asked to leave“ after raising our first round.

I was young (25) and naive, with no experience in business within the family. But what was really crucial back then was that I lacked a mentor who’d make me aware of the risks before letting the sharks in.

It took me three years to bounce back and start something new. On the positive side, I learned a lot.
This doesn't take into account recent events, e.g. the U.S. sanctioning NSO after their dealings in India and with American police departments was confirmed.

In any case, this is a civil suit in federal courts. Even if State wanted to intervene, it would have to do so through informal channels.

This is typically the case in Europe, where (unsurprisingly) unions are more common. In the US and the UK, you see more militant unions, more wildcat strikes, more picketing, etc. which is why union membership went through the floor (I am in the UK, we also have unions taking positions on climate change, on Israel/Palestine, they own the party in opposition and last year the most well-funded union leader attempted to get his girlfriend a seat in the House of Lords...they are very weird). Unions develop in their own political, legal, and cultural context so, for some, strikes are very much a first resort.
It’s like religion in the ancient days. When a plague or earthquake hit people didn’t understand (didn’t want to understand) that these are the effects of a giant mechanical system and not the fault of anyone. The ancients created gods to justify these things, modern people blame the great other.

If you were French in the 1890s you’d love to blame any societal tragedy on Germans, if you were German in the 20s you’d be blaming France, etc.

TBH this is not a scientifically very interesting question. It's quite likely that if one wanted to make this virus they could have. It doesnt appear to be the pinnacle of bioengineering so scientists are not curious to find out how they did it, if they did. And lab standards are already stringent, so leaks will keep happening. I don't believe the virus was leaked, not because it couldn't have but because it's equally probable that it's natural. And i 'd hate to see even slower progress in biology because of new safety standards that limit the number of people who can work in a wet lab.

It's a politically interesting question though.

In TypeScript, there's no* way to run your code without invoking the type checker, as it has to transpile TS to JS. While you can suppress/reduce the strictness of the checker, you can't avoid it entirely, and opting out takes work.

Python is the opposite; using type annotations for any sort of verification is opt-in exclusively, and not part of the language/runtime itself.

*Yes, there are some direct TS runtimes/compilers, but they aren't how the vast majority of TS code runs.
This is one of the engines behind 'history repeats itself'.

How many level 4 biosafety labs exist in the world where this type of dangerous research is carried out? 15. How many are in China? 2, one of which is in Wuhan the epicenter of the origination of the virus. Lab leak theory should have been the default root cause until proven otherwise by independent researchers (which China won't allow in).

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure what to say in English though, lol.

There's compile-time and runtime. But there's also kernel-launch time? Dynamic shared memory is done before kernel-launch, possibly during cpu-runtime but before gpu-runtime.

-------

Things get crazier when you see OpenCL paradigms like... #define constants during CPU-runtime, invoke the OpenCL compiler (under the assumption that the compiler will now optimize the constant into the code directly), and then kernel-launch.
This is where I have a problem with their reviews will start to dive into it but never really educate the reader enough to make an informed decision over trusting them. i.e in their recommended sleeping pads they don't even consider the lower end ones for testing and they balk at the higher end ones because of material choices(which they don't explain have trade offs ie cold or hot camping they remove mylar pads and nylon)Then they are left with picking from a bunch of clones of each other all at same price point with similar features and left with learning nothing other than they chose clone of a clone all because it goes on sale more often than the others
I'm not interested in people that think they're constantly being dismissed and persecuted.
The framing of NSO as "state-sponsored" cannot be overstated, and Apple didn't miss the chance to do just that.

A hard blow to Israel's policy just as much as it is to NSO itself.
Agree on all points. I had mixed feelings that the fact that the population struggles in the face of poaching despite having no effective natural predators seems conducive to fostering a controlled population in a closed environment. The food chain wouldn't affect how they proliferate .

But the first thought is always...just the track record. Rabbits, foxes, cats, cane toads, donkeys, camels, goats, pigs. But, like you say, they aren't going to be losing track of their rhinos.

But, arguing conservation as a practical application, has Australia ever intentionally introduced a species for a practical application and had it not go absolutely sideways (big caveat, usually once the animals escaped, or were just turned loose)?
It's plausible, sure, but it'll never be proven, especially at this distance.
Given there's no other plausible explanation ("bat soup from wet market" theory is completely laughable to anybody who bothers to look closely, and there's no viable path identified that doesn't involve Wuhan labs in one way or another) - it's as much "just a theory" as evolution is "just a theory". Sure, if you work really hard and ignore a lot of facts and have very active imagination, you could imagine some alternative scenario. But the level of proof and agreeing with available facts in this theory would be way lower than in the theory that admits it came through the Wuhan lab. How did it happen - which accident led to it, which rules were bent, who didn't report feeling sick and who was bitten by a bat but didn't want to talk about it out of fear of losing their job, did messing with the virus genome and GoF research play a role and how big the role was - we don't know and probably never will. But calling it the most likely theory is not "going too far" - it's just admitting the evidence we have and looking at it objectively and not trying to fit the facts into predetermined conclusion because we don't like the one that the facts suggest.
A portion of the community only reads the headlines and forms their opinion based on that alone, I'm not saying it's right, I'm just trying to add some context to what appears to be your incredulity at the parent commenter's question.
