It is a virtual certainty that a 4% likely event would occur given the millions of people that have been infected (and the subsequent mutations occurring within each of them). But that doesn't have anything to do with omicron specifically... and I certainly don't intend to suggest a correlation between NS/S and infectiousness. Mutations have a certain rate, but the events themselves are random.

I guess a different way to say this is -- It makes no sense to use the NS/S ratio as a rationale to claim that omicron was a lab-leak. The 33/4 ratio should be rare, but not unexpected. If you were going to claim that, the absolute increase in mutations would be a more compelling argument, but again, there are plausible reasons for how that could occur in the wild too.

We have very incomplete sampling data, so looking at a single strain and determining risk, or likelihood, is very difficult.

It's also much more complicated to define "silent" in the context of a virus. In a larger-genomed organism there is a relatively clear (though still not completely clear) function of a coding region, where the change of a nucleic acid will have no effect on the protein made - but still might (subtly) effect regulation in some way.

In a virus, most nucleic acids have multiple, layered, and unknown functions - it's much much harder to assign any given nucleic acid as "silent", and be confident that that is the case from an evolutionary perspective.

As another posted, it's a good hypothesis that's straightforward to test statistically against all of the other variants. But on its own, it's not necessarily convincing here that the S/NS ratio is particularly concerning (and as above, doesn't speak to how directed evolution works either).

The Lasagna recipe is an independent cooking blogger (note the "Hi there, I'm Holly!" in the top-right corner). Food Network, Allrecipes, Tegel, and other sites mentioned are not promoting a specific person, but an entire brand. Babish is the exception to this rule, but he "changed the game" by going for YouTube instead of blogs.

Although the optimization is infuriating, in my search to become a decent cook, I have found more success following specific writers instead of a top result/highest rated meal. Many of these writers self-promote (and cross-promote) on sites with the same template as spendwithpennies.com

I wouldn't be surprised if that annoying SEO template was designed in collaboration with Cookbook publishers. The "anecdote before recipe" style was made famous in Irma S. Rombauer's Joy of Cooking, and took on a variety of forms throughout the 20th century.
I also see similar WordPress themes appear on supposedly independent sites with individual authors. Similar down to the email sign-up popups.

I get that some WP themes are more popular than the bazillion available, but the consistency in look and feel between a Malaysian immigrant to New York cooking curries I know aren't that Malaysian and a stay at home mom in Ohio doing baking that may have been passed down by a great aunt that tweaked a King Arthur Flour recipe is often remarkable.
Idempotency is not about "you get the same result", it's about the effects of your http request on the server. Notice that the definition you quoted is in terms of side-effects, not results.

If a request changes the state of the server and another identical request changes the state of the server in a different way, it's not idempotent.

If a request doesn't change the state of the server at all it is idempotent, even if subsequent requests might get different responses (e.g. the stock quote example in my previous post).

If a request changes the state of the server but repeated identical requests don't have any different effect it is also idempotent. For example, DELETE is idempotent because DELETE-ing something N times is the same as deleting it one time.

The policies you suggest to protect parking are exactly what make traffic worse.

1. Less dense development creates suburban sprawl. This means new people live farther away from their jobs than existing residents.

2. Those new people have to drive more miles each day than existing residents. ie traffic congestion is super linear on population growth.

3. The intersections that become bottlenecks get worse every year.

Texas style sprawl spreads out the offices more so their average commute times go up every year at a slower rate (but they still go up). The only proven solution is to allow housing that's dense enough for public transit to work efficiently.

I'm not saying your motivations are based in classism, racism, and fear, but the people motivated enough to engage in the political process "protecting the suburbs" generally are. They're smart enough to educate themselves on these issues, see the consequences, and say, "yes, this is what I want".

Residential zoning creates geographic segregation between rich and poor. In America that also means the housing crisis is making racial segregation worse(https://belonging.berkeley.edu/roots-structural-racism). With the way public services are primarily administered at local level, once people are segregated then richer, whiter areas get the best schools, better parks, better maintained infrastructure, faster emergency response times, etc

Ironically, early residential zoning had explicitly bad intentions, but the impact was limited because there was so much land available to build on. 75 years later the consequences have escalated.
It's my fault for not being more clear with my language.

So some background to my comment. I live in a tourist town. Tourists come for the weekend. Travelers come for 6 months to a year. There's a scene to traveling. Some people come, interact only with other travelers. Others interact with everyone.

When I travel abroad, it's for months at a time. I avoid the 'scene', not for disdain for tourists or other travelers, but because you miss some things. Not gonna say I specifically avoid ex-pats, just don't seek them out either. Some ex-pats form groups because they want a social life and are too lazy to learn the language, I'm not about that. But if I meet one, that's fine too.

I'm not traveling for Instagram clout, I just like it. My typical MO is to book a one way ticket, then spend months off the beaten path, working remote all the while. It's what I like. I meet people because I'm social (enough anyway, in many ways I'm introverted), not because I want something. And sometimes (usually) I just have a 5 minute conversation and it goes nowhere. Because people do have lives, yes. That's ok though. Same back home, if I sit at a bar and someone else strikes up a conversation, I engage or don't, depending on my mood. That's life. Truly good friends are rare anyway. And traveling 'friends' are usually just people who want a favour, in my experience. So I go places, am completely self-sufficient the whole way, I meet people, sometimes they stick around, often they don't.
> The issue is that the regulations initially cut into the profits for meat packing companies. Then over time they serve as a barrier to entry, essentially creating artificial monopolies and anti-competitive market stagnation.

I would say the issue is that antitrust officials stood idly by and allowed extreme market consolidation

>For four decades, the U.S. government has watched idly as a handful of largely foreign-owned meat corporations grew horizontally by killing off or gobbling up their competitors and vertically by gobbling up their supply chains. Today four massive companies – JBS, Tyson Foods, National Beef, and Cargill – control over 80 percent of America’s beef. Three companies – JBS, Tyson, and Smithfield Foods – control 63 percent of America’s pork. Two of those – JBS and Tyson – also control 38 percent of poultry.

You can mostly avoid this problem with a little configuration if bracketed-paste-mode isn't default on whatever you're using.

Make sure it's supported and/or active on your terminal (e.g. urxvt, xterm) and the CLI/TUI programs (e.g. vim, bash/libreadline) on which you want to paste.

At the link above is a link to an SE answer I wrote years ago:

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/39118/how-can-i...

It has a table showing what terminals support bracketed paste mode, and also provides a urxvt plugin to fix a bug in urxvt's implementation.
This should probably be titled "Record number of American hourly workers got a raise in November." From the article:

"Nick Bunker, research director at the Indeed Hiring Lab, noted that quits were high in the low-wage hotel and restaurant industries. 'Lots of quits means stronger worker bargaining power which will likely feed into strong wage gains,' he said. 'Wage growth was very strong in 2021, and ... we might see more of the same in 2022.'"

So I suspect what we're seeing is a bunch of hourly workers moving laterally to another employer for better pay, and their replacement being hired at a higher rate to stay competitive.
I remember when Compiz was released. It was mind-blowing, its sheer awesomeness was something out of this world. "ok, Windows is done" me and my friends thought, "prepare for linux dominating the desktops".

Yet ~15 years later here we are.
The problem with this is illustrated in another comment where nixcraft's site, cyberciti.biz, was added to a personal block list. The content on the site does seem to be original and productive. I'd guess it was added based on the criteria of "I haven't heard of this site and the domain looks suspicious". I have a feeling that this will be true for other domains on this proposed master list. And the owners of those domains will have no recourse.

Specifically blocking github clones seems doable. Adding anything else needs equally specific criteria or it will quickly become subjective and unfair.

This is something I really appreciated about Dark (German). They wrote the story as three seasons, it was complete for three seasons, they found and released all three seasons. There won’t be a fourth. It was refreshing.

Where in American shows even if they have some idea where they are going (anti-Lost) they almost never completely shut the door.

TypeScript Engineer | Polecat (https://www.polecat.com) | REMOTE in UK or Poland

Polecat is looking for a TypeScript developer to join the team working on our reputation intelligence SaaS product.

Our product analyses the media impact of big organisations to show them how different topics affect their reputation. This is a fast-growing market as more and more organisations start to take Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) concerns seriously.

The frontend is a TypeScript SPA speaking to a GraphQL API. If you'd like to work with Apollo/GraphQL and Next.js, please check us out! We're also open to candidates with JS experience who'd like to learn TypeScript.

This is the job description and application form:

https://apply.workable.com/polecat-risk-intelligence/j/32EB5...

The position is 100% remote, but applicants must be resident in the UK or Poland. We have occasional meet-ups in Bristol, where many of the team are based.

This article has a bit about what it's like to work at Polecat. The article is for Functional Works so there is some focus on our backend language, Clojure, but the points about culture, remote work and interview process are the same:

I mean, I'm not at Google, but the three friends who are all use Pixels. Each love their Pixels. I also really like my own Pixel 4a and I am super excited that they're still including a headphone jack on the 5a.

I have no actual complaints about the Pixel to be honest, and I'm usually hyper-critical of consumer electronics.

I do have some criticism of Android the operating system, but I'm not sure this is relevant to Pixel per se. My complaints are all things that affect nearly all manufacturers (Samsung, Xiaomi, LG, etc).

I also have lots of criticism for various individual apps (looking at you, YouTube Music), and google assistant (please stop making breaking changes to the voice "command line arguments").

But as far as an android physical+firmware phone goes, the 4a is damn close to perfect. Add hot-swap batteries and dual SIM (hey 5a!) and it would actually be perfect for me.

Honestly at this point it probably sounds like I'm a marketer who posted a weak criticism of Pixel and then responded with glowing praise using an alt-account but...this is my experience anyways.
A better measure as to whether the user found what they were looking for would be if Google checked if the user continues browsing through subsequent search results or not.

I personally don't give a shit about mathematicians and scientists personal lives, but I don't have a problem imagining those who do. I think the numbers say it all. Others think that the examination of every detail of the person who wrote the numbers first might give them some insight into how to create more numbers.

No, that would be the Quartz and Quartz Extreme compositors released with Mac OSX 10.0-10.2 years prior.

Compiz in the mid 2000s was a mixture of catching up to established ideas and a bunch of cute but useless visual wastes of time. It didn't pioneer anything except novelty display plugins and was quickly made obsolete when people realized that wobbly transition effects got very old very fast.

> pick one easy-to-learn language (e.g. Malay) and one super-simple writing system (e.g. South Korean Hangul)

That's an interesting combination.

The main reason why English speakers often consider Malay to be easier than other South-East Asian languages is that it's usually written using the Latin script without diacritics. Writing it in Hangul instead would make it just another language with a writing system few people are familiar with.

Whereas Hangul as used for writing Korean has plenty of cases where the same symbol represents different sounds in different context and vice versa different symbols representing the same sound in the same context. There's an internal logic to it that makes sense for Korean, because it results in words deriving from the same root being spelled similarly, but if you apply it to Malay, it's just another random set of symbols that can be assigned sounds by convention.

Not only do they did rid of the novel about the ingredients and their origins, they also get around most paywalls.
