Never has been strong evidence for zoonosis either, but it was brought as a near-certainty scientific consensus. The problem is that epidemiologists and virologists have zero-real knowledge on lab-leaks, claiming a false authority, when the last time they studied coronavirus or lab safety was decades back. The problem is that we don't interview biosafety experts, or that they are not allowed to speak up.

There was an early paper on HIV inserts by an Indian institute. This paper was attacked so fiercely, that I am pretty sure GP120 will become a household name in 2022.

Ivermectin and HCQ both seem to work, but these are really bad for vaccination rates. If you can either save lives by prescribing ivermectin, or by increasing vaccination rates, the choice to suppress these prophylactics becomes justifiable.

> Claiming that it was definitely a lab leak because of furin clevage

Nobody said definitely. They raised their concern to their partners, sometimes mentioning it in an interview. Claiming SARS-2 clearly has zoonotic origin, and that anything suggesting otherwise is conspiracy theory, now that is misinformation. Yet, this made it to the Lancet and Nature, and Chinese influence agents then used these papers to suppress online debate.

> the truth is we don't know (and may never).

The truth is that it is China suppressing investigation is what led us to this state. Why would they do that? What happened to those Chinese scientists who pushed sequences to Github? What happened to the citizen journalists exposing lies and coverups?

Only China benefits from the world lacking full clarity. The misinformation campaign they embarked on was one of the grossest in history of the web. Start with these facts. Not with someone convinced all this shady behavior means they are covering up something shady.

Lab-leak proponents have been a lot more careful to allow for increasingly unlikely event of zoonosis, than proponents of a natural origin, who seem to have resorted to the clarity of religion to sustain their view.
I'm guessing the data is copied to a temporary buffer. The target GL buffer can still be in flight for previous operations.

In my city, the public local station (CBFT-2) is broadcasting news and some other emissions on the Web. But I love my cheap ATSC tuner "converter box": can be useful in case of network outage, it can also record programs on a USB drive and play a lot of video files. Sadly, it's difficult to find an ATSC dongle for computer, they're less popular and more expensive than DVB dongles.

How has the strategy of "companies should just be nicer" worked for things like minimum wage, health insurance, workers rights, ect... It's getting to the point of insanity (in my opinion) that people keep thinking this is going to magically appear if they ask for it. It arguably flies in the faces of thousands of years (or millions if you count pre-humans) of evolution.

At the least people suggesting this should acknowledge that this kind of society has possibly never existing in this entire universe on the scale they want it to exist (larger then dunbar(ish) number tribes). The onus is on them to build a path towards this new kind of society instead of just throwing the ideal out into the ether and expecting it to just magically appear.
I think it is mostly driven by emotion and it would be very easy go that way if you didn't follow the story closely and from multiple media sources. It's easy to believe in another context eg pick one of "Maddow/Hannity/Limbaugh/Moore" is not a real journalist by which you mean good source of factual information. This is wildly different from "should/should not have the legal rights of a journalist."

Many of the larger newspapers lean toward the former kind of "he's not one of us" and clearly hate him on a personal level, for many reasons one of which is that he de-values their prestige currency of the scoop by having achieved many orders of magnitude more important scoops than they reasonably ever dreamed of without having to have the crap beaten out of him as a young person joining a newsroom like they did. "My editor would never allow me to publish that even though it's completely true and backed with documents proving it." He doesn't have that problem.

There's no doubt that the litany of CIA, NSA & FBI openly employed as analysts are pushing a false narrative about it which is repeated often. We saw evidence of that kind of ting pretty clearly with the evidence free suppression of Hunter Biden's laptop contents as "Russian disinformation." Now we know it's real. The contents are minor league attempted sleaze but true. The suppression of it and the constant refrain of "Russians" is vastly more significant and pretty worrying.

People have be led to think of Wikileaks and Assange as "Anti-American." Pretty obvious that the Military would want to frame it that way. And it's reasonable not to like anti-american stuff. It's not so very far to go from there to thinking CIA lies are actually anti-american and reporting the truth about massive corruption and illegality in government is what has made the American experiment with democracy work and so is pro-american.

I don't know the extent to which the CIA and NSA etc actually use social media comments to push a narrative, I'd really, really hope it was none. Was there anything about that in Edward Snowden's revalations?

I can't even imagine what it would take to design a warehouse-size building to withstand 200-300 mph winds. Not just expensive, but the engineering required would be pretty significant.

By comparison, I think it is probably fairly straightforward to make office buildings that can stay reasonably intact even with a direct hit. Much more structure to work with.

Why does that make him an asshole? It's his project, he's free to do as he pleases with it. Even my very modest open source projects sometimes get people demanding I fix or change something. It's ridiculous. It's like there's this unspoken expectation that all available software rise to meet all needs.
No, 爾 is not cognate to Cantonese 呢 meaning "this" (which is different from Mandarin 呢, a sentence particle, which might be related to 爾).
Just because a blob of code is free doesn’t mean the support is free, and it has been this way for a very long time. Have you ever seen how much an email-only 1-year support contract from ISC costs (clue: Five figures)? In the real world, free but pay for support is a reasonable expectation. RedHat has been doing it since 1993. Even with end user software, freemium has been a thing for quite a while.

I see from your posting history that you’re pushing variations of this “they didn’t pay for this, so your time and effort is worthless” notion. I can’t be sure you’re not trolling; I will assume good faith and think you actually believe this ridiculous argument. Frankly, to pretend that free code with for pay support doesn’t exist comes off as entitled to me.

Let me explain to you how classic open source works.

The idea behind open source is this: The relationship between users and developers is different with an open source project. In return for getting code for free, instead of having the relationship a customer of proprietary software has, where the only way to implement a feature is to ask the original developer to implement it, we instead have a relationship where you can get any feature (or bugfix) you want, by simply providing a patch or pull request. The code is free, but the support is not free.

Linux is a classic case of this: Sure, you can get the kernel for free. Sure, you can download a distribution for free. But, as soon as you ask for support, the company tells you they will change you so much $$$ per networked computer to get service and support.

It works really great when a lot of developers and companies contribute patches and bug fixes for free, in exchange for getting the software for free. It works not so great when entitled users think they have a customer to company relationship with open source software.

Hence, the hard boundaries, and the resetting of expectations. I used to have a “I don’t support my open source project for free in private email any more, and if you reply to this demanding support, I will make this email exchange public on the mailing list” canned reply. I only had to make the exchange public once over a decade ago; most people got the message. I even occasionally had someone throw me a few bucks.

My project? I still maintain it, because my boundaries keep me sane. I’ve only have had one rude entitled user whose bug report I had to delete from GitHub in the last decade; since then I just lock the conversation after giving them the “no, I don’t support that” spiel.

“ Mick was polite, but he didn't seem to have heard of Apple Computer, Steve Jobs or the Macintosh. Steve tried to strike up a conversation, but he wasn't very successful. Steve told me that Mick couldn't seem to put together a coherent sentence. "His speech was slurred and very slow", Steve described it later, "in fact I think he was on drugs. Either that or he's brain-damaged." After a few minutes, it was clear that Mick had absolutely no interest whatsoever in Apple or the Macintosh, and an awkward silence ensued.”

This is actually pretty hilarious, would love to see this as a Quentin Tarantino scene.

> Yet nothing is stopping people to bash us, for work we aren't paid for, for a feature we all dislike yet needed to keep due to backward compatibility concerns.

Does log4j not utilize a versioning scheme that has the notion of "breaking changes"? Anyone following semver, for example, could simply release a major to do away with an extremely troubling, and apparently well-known, back compat issue. Sounds like folks are right to criticize for poor decision making.

I know it's anecdotal but it seems to be the opposite for me, or was. When I was in my late 20s and went to a gym at a mall when I left I could never find my car, every time. It seemed to only after a workout at the gym. I went to the mall often to shop and I never had a problem finding my car when just shopping.

Yes this is long-term, and mice, and mine was isolated to me. But it was weird.
Lumbar puncture is postponed due to COVID-19. I was finally going to have it, but they had to lock down the neurology department. That said, I had head MRI twice, 4 years apart. The last one showed no difference to the previous one. I had one just a couple of days ago along with a spinal cord one, I will know more in just about a week. If there are no changes, then it is most likely not MS, I would say. They did this one according to MS MRI protocol; we will see.

Not all "issues" are equal; a job that requires regularly committing felonies has much more severe potential "issues later in life" than working a few too many hours a week.
You've broken capitalism.

One of the principal assumptions of capitalism is a "rational informed consumer". Without advertising consumers will be even less informed. New companies entering a market will be unable to compete with established competitors. How will anything show up in your recommendations if no one knows about it?

I mean, advertising probably isn't there best way for consumers to become informed, but it serves as a start. We need more regulations restricting ads from being so deceitful or manipulative, but we have to acknowledge that ads serve a purpose in our society.

It's different because in China the dialects are actively suppressed in favor of the standard language (which was also done in Europe in the 19th century for the various national languages).

This is why I think in China the history of the Chinese languages should be taught (I really do not know why some evolutionary tree of Homo sapiens is in the biology curriculum but this is not in some social science one. Seems like an oversight). Even from Chinese people, you still hear all these myth (debunked in some other comment) that X almost became Mandarin.

The only thing that tripped me up was the difference between esbuild's `externals` and webpack's `externals`. In webpack you can use the externals config to skip bundling a module and instead get it from another source such as a Node module or, in my case, from a global variable in the browser. In esbuild, an external module is only for the first situation (getting a module from Node), so I was confused about how to get the desired behavior in esbuild. Luckily I found a plugin that does exactly what I want: [0].

Other than that, I'm pretty darn satisfied with what esbuild can do out of the box. I don't use any other plugins except global externals. I don't need a typescript -> javascript plugin like webpack; I don't need a css plugin like webpack; I don't need esnext transpilers or whatever. It's all just built in to esbuild.

Honestly I don't find myself missing anything from webpack. So far esbuild is just better in every way (for myself at least).

Assange is under great stress, I hope his appeal succeeds after this event highlights the stress he is under. If he does go to the USA, will the USA block his top secret evidence from a court airing? After all Assange has this evidence and it will have a powerful effect in showing the judges the USA does not have clean hands in this matter?
Assange can file the evidence and make it fully open to all, as he possesses it somewhere in an encrypted online form, by making the key open source.
I am not sure how good a card this is, or even if he should play it at all.

> I don't see how arguing that how bad yellow journalism was in the past is an argument for continuing it now.

That it is not new in either existing or the extent of it's influence of public perceptions of events outside immediate perception is a very good reason to not view the current situation as an unprecedented crisis posing an imminent existential threat to ordered society that requires slashing political freedom of expression in the hopes that it might curtail yellow journalism without creating something far worse.

> Seems a bit like saying 'slavery was bad before, so discrimination is ok now'.

No, it's more like saying the current manner of discrimination is manifestly less bad than when we had overt chattel slavery, so countermeasures that would not have been justified to deal with chattel slavery would, a fortiori, not be justified to deal with present discrimination.

Except that, of course, the kind of extreme measures that would even arguably not have been justified to address chattel slavery aren't actually on the menu for dealing with modern day discrimination, but tossing aside freedom of speech and the press to empower state censorship as a tool to combat yellow journalism is, for some reason, something people are actively campaigning for.
>Even after becoming the world's largest panel maker, the company continues to lean heavily on government subsidies.
