This seems to be nearly insurmountable if the primary objective of the site is only to meet people, particularly young single people that have no local social group or attachment.

One minor pivot that OP might consider is make the site about finding ways for travelers to integrate with the local community. Volunteering opportunities would be the primary idea that comes to mind, but if there's any mechanism to integrate with meetup that might be useful as well. Basically tie in systems that have already developed a survival mechanism to filter out creeps.

Hacking the Ransomware Problem
The only difficulty with "debt" from the perspective of English pronunciation is that B is voiced and T isn't. So you're right that "depped" or "debbed" would be more natural. But there's no need to add an epenthetic vowel.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? The first days of 2022 were in week 52 of 2021
And it is not even thread safe. We found this out because we had some flaky e2e test that were run concurrently and only failed every few days. The parsed date was just a few hours away from the expected so at first we thought it had to be something wrong with timezones or NTP.
> It's harder to make that bug. The common case is "year of era", so it is likely to be used for "year()".

That would be the sane thing to do. But the same applies to `YYYY`: it should be used for "year of era". But it hasn't been and that's the problem here. For contrast in moment.js, YYYY and yyyy do what you expect and "week year" is GGGG or gggg.
"Droring" seems to me to be regional in British English. I hear it more in the North and in London.

As a child, I had elocution lessons from a scouser in Liverpool. She insisted on pronouncing the word "with" as "hwith", with the "th" hardened as in "thought", rather than softened as in "the". As a consequence I misspelled "with" for many years. Try to avoid taking elocution lessons from someone with a non-standard accent!

I enjoy regional pronunciations. I don't want them ruled to be somehow incorrect. But I deplore incorrect usage, such as "literally" to mean figuratively. M-W says that figuratively is a correct usage of literally, even though it means the exact opposite.
In my experience paper turns into mush when it gets wet and can't support any weight. How did they solve this problem?

You seem to have caught some memes which don't make you see things rationally.

> The opposite require many hypothetical actors (mouses, immunosuppressed patients, back and forth between geographically distant places and all the combinations thereof) to account for it "hiding" since spring 2020

If you ever implied that closeness of outbreak of the Wuhan variant to the Wuhan lab the same should make you incredibly suspicious about this being a lab leak, since there is such lab nearby. So it would require an actor in another country to "breed" this variant and import it into South Africa/have agents spread it world wide and someone funding and green lighting what would a be case of international bio terrorism or even bio warfare.

As for accounting for those factors. Africa is an incredible diverse places with Nomads and hyper dense slums, with untreated large scale AIDS and healthcare systems as South Africa has and also a poorly understood and explored flora and fauna.

Does it seem that implausible that some combination of immuno compromised tribes/rural human and animals caught the old variant and didn't interact with the new variants from western civilization for less than two years? I don't think so.

As for the low number of silent mutations. I can not imagine how the lab leak theory would account for that, if it was designed why would there a low number of silent mutations and not an average number or none and if it was due to GoF why would a lab environment have less silent mutations then a "natural" one?

AFAIK we have almost no data on variants in some African capitals let alone people in rural/tribal areas or surveillance of animals. Maybe along its evolutionary it was a variant that has an advantage in sparsely populated areas so we didn't notice a large part of its history because it wasn't competitive in cities with other variants.

There are many possible explanations but the lack of lab is kinda blow for a lab leak theory and your political goal of less GoF-Research is only compatible with a lab leak and not any other form of lab caused (philanthropist/evil government developing and releasing this variant) explanation.
If you want to address my specific points that's fine, but turning instead to attack me through your perception of my skin color is a different conversation entirely, one that I'm not interested in having.
I never said the products you buy domestically will be of the same quality or caliber as those afforded to you by an efficient global supply chain - just that it is an option if you feel strongly about this. You'll have to make some sacrifices here and there but hey, if you're not willing to sacrifice a little for your beliefs then you must not hold them too strongly.
Format strings are intended to be configurable (possibly per user-interface language) and not necessarily hardcoded. A strongly-typed builder API might be useful, but if you need both programmatic specification and external configuration, format strings can fulfill both purposes, whereas only having a builder API doesn’t.
100% agreed with you. I do not understand why stringly typed date systems are still so prevalent.

When I write code that needs to format in different formats I always create well named, perhaps verbose but I don't care as it's now readable, functions such as this (ignore HN butchering the code):

/\*
\* Formats Date into "twelve hour time". For example, 3:23. This is "h:mm" format from date-fns.
\* @param { Date } date The date.
\* @returns { string } The formatted string.
\*/
export const formatAsTwelveHourTime = (date: Date) => format(date, 'h:mm');
300$ is a bargain as learning material. Specially when it comes to investing. In future that can save lot of money by making him think more deeply about investing in general.
Non-native speaker as well. I recently noticed the "b" is supposed to be silent, but then every time I say "debt" without the "b", phonetically I'm saying the same as "that". They sound the same to me, at least.

This is probably related to the fact that "bad" and "bed" sound exactly the same to me.
Well, he does link to his personal blog, which contains a link to his LinkedIn. His motivation might be personal marketing, job hunting.

Or, he just likes to share knowledge for free, some people still find joy in that, fortunately.

Then there's that cliche of how you learn more (or cementing your knowledge) by teaching. Sometimes that's all the motivation I need.
I recently had a conversation with an older friend who, in his teens, moved to the US from Thailand. After graduating from college, he found his passion in animations and, ultimately, led one of the animation divisions for The Simpsons by moving to S. Korea.

I was surprised to hear that he lived much of his professional life in S. Korea building out The Simpsons (decades ago) and why/how the work was outsourced there. He told me that labor and talent was abundant and affordable.

This made me think of a possible reason as to how S. Korea's entertainment industry has become successful worldwide. That is, just as outsourced manufacturing/operations helps countries build out the infrastructure and gradually transform into a country for developing quality products/services, something similar happened where the grunt work of entertainment was outsourced helping S. Korea build out the underlying infrastructure until it had enough talent and capabilities to enable a larger ownership over the product/vision and become a major player itself.

Unlike ‘b’ in ‘debt’, it is often pronounced by native English speakers.
I was part of many left wings groups and I remember there was a transitional period in which there was a lot of talk about intersectionalism, that is how we need to not only take into account the class, but also race, gender, sexual orientation etc. Then slowly the class part dissappeared so only the latter were left to intersect.
I am definitely getting old because such idealism only ticks me off these days.

Make a hardware box that serves as a router, switch AND a home server, sell it at competitive prices, have it preloaded with a hardened Linux containing everything needed (including NAS, VPN, home media organizers and whatnot), make it automatically discover other such nodes (and maybe configure lend-able bandwidth and disk space while you are at it; decentralization!), and then we're talking.

Make it 100% transparent, automatic, fault-proof and as speedy as you can so that the regular Joe and Jane can just install it at home because they heard it's a router and a home server in one and it's costing less than other similar solutions. Tell them it can stream from YouTube and 10 other apps.

Make the regular people tempted to buy it! Only THEN will the "small web" or any such adjacent sentiments take off. Ain't ever happening before that.

Enough with the "raising awareness" stuff, seriously. We on HN / Lobsters and a lot of people on Reddit are quite "aware" already. We get it. But 99% of us have families to feed and seriously can't squeeze the effort unless we're willing to forfeit the precious 5-10% free time a time a day that we get as busy adults.

Make something that will bring the regular people on board. Before that you are just a small fly in an airplane hangar trying to buzz and make a difference.

Ain't happening, dude. Roll up your sleeves and start inventing the future. If you have the time to craft such an article then you likely have the time to start working on the practical aspect as well.
Thanks I like these ideas

> The last few days of 2021 logged as 2022 makes sense for payroll, but how the heck is Jan 1st 2022 put in the 2023 year?

First off, I think you have a typo(?) with the "2023"? Because:

* https://www.epochconverter.com/weeks/2022

The reason(s) why the week system was designed:

> * All weeks have exactly 7 days, i.e. there are no fractional weeks.

> * Every week belongs to a single year, i.e. there are no ambiguous or double-assigned weeks.

> * The date directly tells the weekday.

> * All week-numbering years start with a Monday and end with a Sunday.

> * When used by itself without using the concept of month, all week-numbering years are the same except that some years have a week 53 at the end.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date#Advantages

This makes perfect sense if your role is in bookkeeping / accounting / finance. Your life is based on pay periods and not on day-of-year/month. A particular pay day "belonging" to a particular year is a meaningless affectation: people need to get paid every two weeks come hell or high water, and anything that can complicate the smooth running of that process is discarded.

As for the algorithm:

I know many American speakers who pronounce the “t” in often, for the record. In fact, now that I think about it, I might do the same myself sometimes.
> If it were just spelled 'det' the vowel would start jumping around. You'd have to go 'dett' or even 'dette' in order to avoid 'deet'.

Huh? None of this makes any sense.
Sure, the issue is somewhat orthogonal. But I assume they wanted to keep the format string parsing minimal, hence the single letter format specifiers. Once you have a strongly typed API, you are no longer bound by this and you can have sensible names.
It's great for brainstorming! In fact I get the wildest ideas for programs software and the like while high in bed.

Good luck! I always miss the travel experiences of meeting temporary friends for a hike or urban exploration.

I can still hear my accounting professor pronouncing it. Debits and Credits both have 2 sylables.
Paper: https://www.pnas.org/content/112/35/10985. Note that the paper comes to a slightly different conclusion than this summary article: in particular, it never claims that Montsechia might be ‘the original flowering plant’ as the article does, nor does it say that Ceratophyllum is a modern-day descendant of Montsechia (in fact, it says quite the opposite).

My understanding —which is a little dated now, was that older gens cared about the Japan question, however most people who are in or have gone through university in the last 20 or 30 years don’t care about that question. They may carry some vestiges of it and recite some WWII atrocity, but don’t hold it against current living people.

It used to be Koreans wouldn’t date Japanese out of hate but with few exceptions not many would refuse to date someone because they are Japanese (as business people or exchange students of each other and so on)

In any case, it doesn’t make sense to be anti Japanese since they’re basically on the same team these days: democracies who aim to keep their economies vital in the face of competition as well as declining fertility rates and also who must contend with a regional hegemon.

Maybe the old shintoburi is still going strong though.
Now I wonder. Area NFT sales taxed as capital gains or income? If later, then it really makes no sense to wash via it.
Books were not only copied to have 2 functional copies, but also to have 1 fresh copy remaining once the older copy is no longer usable. Books are perishable and the more they are used, the quicker they disintegrate. That in itself is sufficient reason to sacrifice some works to preserve other works.
There is no date formatting in JavaScript's standard library. External libraries tend to just fix this kind of thing with a breaking change.
Non-native speaker here. True story: this was long time ago when we used to work in offices and people actually used to sit in tall cubicles with names printed on it. I was the new guy and needed some help from IT so I walked up to the cubicle of the IT guy called Sean and said "Hey Seen, how is it going". There was like 30 seconds of silence and he said "it's Shawn, whats up" and then followed a very awkward conversation :-)
As a son of expats, who had to pick up English early on I noticed that I do indeed shape my lips in the form of those silent letters, but never pronounce them.

As example when saying "debt" I will close my mouth entirely at some point, even though it shouldn't be necessary.
> Look at all the people in this thread engaging with this post, not because of its content but because of its title.

All I see is a discussion that’s been massively derailed by a shitty title. If it had a sensible title, perhaps people would be talking about the actual concept that the article was trying to tackle instead of threads like this where people keep having to explain that the title doesn’t match the article.

“Engagement” for the sake of engagement is worthless unless you are optimising for noise instead of signal.
Wait until you hear someone say 'caveat'.
It made more sense before 2000 of course. And they can’t really change it without breaking many things.
And Finland... Also I love to use comma as decimal separator...
As a Polish speaker, I have no problem pronouncing debt. Depth is debt-hhhh for me :)

Now you make me wonder if English speakers ever pronounce dept. literally.
If you read the article

> Large metal discs covered the paper, but only served as protection from the elements
IMHO, one of the reasons Korean media internationalizes well is the relevance of its main themes.

Personal vs family vs extended family vs social responsibility. The relation between self and modern mega-corps. Alienation. Gender issues from individuals' perspectives.

These are things almost every country is grappling with.
After playing Inscryption recently, I've been thinking what it would look like to have something akin to a card game (or even Tarot) but based on modern tech.

Even bought a copy of Tabletop Simulator to try it out. This might be inspiration enough to give it a shot.
I totally would. She's a blonde haired, blue-eyed white woman!
Say you come from this worldview, in which word choice is stealthy psychological aggression.

Then, when you could have said

"point out"

"highlight", or

"bring attention to"

you instead choose to say

"call out"

which is the same phrase used to mean "publicly denounce (typically on Twitter)".

Do you know what you're doing?

Are you trying to make your coworkers remember that they can be stoned by the crowd at any moment? To imply that you can cause that to happen?

In a world where wordgames become very serious surprisingly quickly, I wonder.
This was my favorite game on the Amiga back in the early '90s, even though it installed via only two floppy disks and had a one-way, time limited story line. The intro was one of the coolest of that period and I'd always watch it when starting the game, even though it always played the same content. I read this article and the dedication of the Jaguar fans must be admired. They went to all lengths to make this port happen, long after the console was considered "dead" by the general public.
+1 for strongly typed and compile-time checked, but I'm still not a fan of a sub-language within a string literal. The language already has syntax to structure things, why make a separate language within strings?

Activists urge Tesla to close new Xinjiang showroom
It is. I haven’t checked the complete source code. What I know for sure is that a program using Rust’s std still requires the C runtime to link and run, and from that perspective, it doesn’t really matter if some or even many parts of the std don’t actually use it.
Managing Distributed State in Elixir with Delta CRDTs
While what you say is certainly possible, it's not (IMHO) very likely. It doesn't matter that countries closed borders and restricted travel, or that not all countries were sequencing with the same rigour. That doesn't affect the eventual outcome as we randomly sample patients in the rest of the world.

If a country were hypothetically completely isolated and not sequencing, then we could have a new unknown variant develop. But from a given previously known origin genome, it would be mutating within that population over time at a fairly predictable rate, which would lead to a family of variants rooted at that known origin. We would see a spectrum of variants in a cluster branching from the origin. However, it clusters far from its origin, and this does raise a red flag.

It's possible that as we collect more data, we will "fill in the gaps" and get a better picture of how it evolved to the point it is at today. If there is a hypothetical country where this evolved naturally, those variants will still exist within the local population, and we will gradually sample a range of them in other countries over time as they too travel abroad where they can be detected.

If however it is not natural, then those intermediates will not exist, or will only exist as frozen down passages in a lab freezer. Maybe we'll identify the lab in time, if that's the case. They should be able to match it if they sequenced it.

Whichever hypothesis is correct, the data can't lie. We will know one way or the other fairly definitively in time.
I also thought that it would be the article about FOOF, but actually the GP linked to a different one about chlorine triflouride. Worth a read!

Because some books are more valuable than others. You might enjoy Harry Potter, but if your only copy of a calculus 101 is deteriorating you will erase Harry Potter and copy the calculus text over the top to save the more important calculus book - or maybe you would erase the calculus textbook to copy Harry Potter over the top. This is a statement of relative value when paper is scarce, but it doesn't mean they didn't value the lost text, just that the replacement was even more valuable. If they had plenty of paper they wouldn't have erased the lost text in the first place and probably would have made a new copy.
