This isn't a news article by The Globe and Mail, it's an opinion piece by Thomas Homer-Dixon published in The Globe and Mail's Op-Ed (Opposite the Editorial Page) section.

One of the biggest tragedies of misinformation online is the failure of readers to understand that opinion sections of all newspapers are meant to be garbage heaps, and not to have quality at all. They were originally blank parts of the newspaper they felt like filling up, and today they became so popular since all garbage heaps are popular (see: any fashion magazine, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, 4chan, etc), so they have to publish more and more and again, just publish whatever in there as if it were a forum, and try not to censor as long as it is written well. It's a "first-tier" internet comment section for a newspaper.

When you read a newspaper, the proper way to read it is to throw the ads out first, then the opinion pages, then start reading. On the internet, you only see the opinion pages because that's all that gets shared because it's the most outrageous and most like a tabloid, then the header is seen and assumed they are the source.

DISCLAIMER: Just because the header says "Hacker News" and "YCombinator" this comment does not represent the views of either group.
No, it's not ugly. It's necessary. And we don't need any additional tooling around it or yet another thing that "fixes" what doesn't need to be fixed.

If you control domain.com and api.domain.com, then you can create a proxy that glues the two to the same domain, getting rid of any CORS annoyances forever. And you use the tech that exists. The whole problem takes less than 1 minute to type, test, deploy and there's no need for yet another big thing invented to solve a small problem that occurs due to ignorance of self-proclaimed "developers".
Please explain to me what you find wrong with blacklist. I'm dying to know.
Interesting correlation. I guess that is indicative of new management.
This is a non-argument. We simply don't know many things before we actually observe them. We don't know whether the stone we let fall a thousand times will still fall after thousand-and-one times. But we can assume it does not, because this wouldn't match the rest of the rules we observed so far.

Granted, RNA vaccines are quite new (although a lot older than the pandemic), but the mechanisms behind RNA are older still. Out cells produce RNA all the time. What you propose is, that RNA produced by our cells today, will somehow miraculously show an effect a decade after it is gone. What is true for the RNA triggered by the vaccine must be true for our own RNA as well. That means our body would have to remember every piece of RNA produced in every cell for a decade.

I am not a medical expert, but I think this is highly unlikely. That would be like drinking a bottle of Schnaps today and being drunk 10 years after it left your body.
Most. Yandex is great, especially for programming searches. It generally ranks GitHub, Stack Overflow and other content-heavy sites highly. Google has been taken over by weird clones of GitHub and SO lately, Yandex has no such trash.

It completely boggles my mind that the useless GitHub and SO clones rank first page on Google. Do engineers at Google not use their own product?
This is just going in circles and all over the place. You seem to be upset about Trump and very upset I called his opponents what they are -- warmonger scum. Obama too, and Biden historically although if he's been forced away from wars by Trump's withdrawal plans and anti war rhetoric I'll take that as a great win and proof you don't have to hold office to effect political change.

And the no true libertarian fallacy is that you're saying people aren't libertarians based on your purity tests. You have failed to show why Thiel is not a libertarian: your examples (military and border control) are completely wrong.

And again, I have no such belief. How do you equate data with me believing that ridiculous thing you wrote.

Finally, you're playing semantics with the whole "voting is not supporting" thing. I know you have no argument without that, but voting is literally supporting. That said, even with your semantics, leftists certainly support Democrats. I haven't bothered to look up studies but everywhere I look I see it, on here, reddit, leftist politicians like Sanders, political donation data, and people I know. And you're just claiming without any data that leftists don't support democrats and libertarians don't support republicans. Both wrong.
It says available to them, not that they have to have another citizenship or that they can actually obtain one. All the government has to do is declare they're eligible regardless of what the other country says.
I had no idea they even had such a deal. Also, they do make phones right now so I don't how they're not competing.
Wonder if they are taking advantage of bath tub curve and 8 years is slightly costlier than 5 years to a manufacturer. In India, Toyota is selling rebadged Suzuki cars offering lower cost and more warranty.
That's a hot take? Didn't CHAZ had black only zones. It's just racism but with a different bent.

I think some people aren't as easily "created" like that. Perhaps it is comparable to an artist; you can teach a lot of people to paint, write or sculpt, but that doesn't mean they all become artists. It's some sort of combination of affinity, drive, self-starting and creativity.
Yes. I can likewise recommend the British TV comedy that clip is from, "Father Ted".
Nah, it's been the default view of all of humanity for the past few hundred thousand years. I opened and closed by saying it was stone-aged, but it isn't without merit just because it's suddenly out of fashion. And as far as being "dangerous", it's not physically dangerous. Or, no more so than a woman staying with a man who takes his depression out on her. Which is a very dangerous thing, indeed.

It's all good to say it's a block-headed view, but it ain't hypocritical (it would need to be self-contradictory for that), and there are lots of other views besides the "right one" - yours? What's that? - that people reading should take to heart. One of which is that men who can't hold their shit together are by definition more dangerous and harmful than women who can't.

Frama-C works at the C semantic level, without knowledge about processor instruction-level details (expect for some extended assembly syntax, and a few details here and there). If you are talking about unspecified sequences of C statements, then Frama-C can warn about some situations, as mentioned in the user manual (https://www.frama-c.com/download/frama-c-user-manual.pdf):

option -unspecified-access may be used to check when the evaluation of an expression depends on the order in which its sub-expressions are evaluated. For instance, this occurs with the following piece of code.

int i, j, *p;
i = 1;
p = &i;
j = i++ + (*p)++;

In this code, it is unclear in which order the elements of the right-hand side of the last assignment are evaluated. Indeed, the variable j can get any value as i and p are aliased.

In some cases, knowing the architecture is essential to get information such as the width of integer types. Ideally, one would like a completely system-independent, portable analysis, but this is extremely hard in C. For instance, the ISO C11 standard, in section 5.2.4.1 Translation limits, states that The implementation shall be able to translate and execute at least one program that contains at least one instance of every one of the following limits [...] 4095 characters in a string literal (after concatenation), 65535 bytes in an object, [...]. It also states that INT_MAX may be, for instance, as low as 32767. So, for a truly portable analysis, one would have to warn whenever any of these limits are reached, leading to an analysis useless except for some toy examples.

The bigger and more interesting question is whether it was originally in mice or it hopped from human to mouse and back.

If SARS-COV-2 jumps this easily, well, we'll have serious problems predicting the mutations, a challenge for vaccine and drug design.
If a 50-character piece of JS is running for two seconds, it was definitely optimized at some point. And even a most advanced optimization of 50 characters would not take more than 0.1 seconds.

Even with a warmup, the unwrapped version is more than 3x faster.
How would you define a good result for that query? It seems like the only thing you could expect from that query is a page of advertising, since the "best X" without any criteria is a concept that doesn't exist in reality.
It gets worse: differentiation would be 0/0 if you went straight to the limit rather than just approaching it, so 0/0 can be any differentiable function, not just a value.

I suppose we'll start giving everyone free biohazard bins when there's no place to store them, and handle them specially too.

No, that's not going to happen. Biohazard disposal is expensive even for hospitals, and applying that to everyone... ruinous.
I visited a coffee farm in Costa Rica. They told us that 'dark roast' was for the substandard coffee.
For anyone struggling with depression or living with a partner who does, I highly recommend Johann Hari’s book “Lost Connections”.

It’s a non-fiction journey through decades of research on depression, how the topic even surfaced on the academic horizon, and how we as deeply social creatures can unwind some of the environmental aspects which cause depression.

As a depressed person myself the book is so well structured and has brought a level of clarity on the topic I haven’t seen elsewhere. Really helpful for getting into an actionable mindset.

There's some good stuff floating around on the 'net about, for lack of other terms, cultural adoption and celebration, versus cultural appropriation. IMHO the nugget that distinguishes one from the other is whether the thing is being severed from it's origins, or whether what you're doing with the thing is connecting yourself to it's origins.
I also have to disagree with this. Butterfly knives were “the cool thing to have” when i was 13 (close to 25 years ago) and we definitely did not have youtube telling us about them and pretty much everyone in my class/city had them. I’m not saying it was the right thing by a long shot, but depending where you live I’d guess your kid will end up getting one eventually if they really want it. Imo it’s better to be educated by yourself about the why knives should not be carried and ever considered to be used etc, rather than your kid carrying one in their backpack cause they are trying to hide it from you.
I read a couple of these. I was not impressed.

For example, you claimed that "Unarmed black people are 3.49 times as likely to be killed as unarmed white people. Local crime rates have zero effect on this statistic." This is false for two reasons. First, this is an analysis of police-involved killings alone, and is not the society-level indictment you suggested. Second, the data for police-involved killings comes solely from those reported on by the media. Since the media overreports on police killings of black Americans (e.g., George Floyd) and underreports on police killings of white Americans (e.g., Timothy Coffman, Tony Timpa), this is highly suspect.

You also claimed that it's "actual racism" that... the ratios of stops that turn up contraband and stops that don't turn up contraband occur "at the same rate regardless of race." How is it "actual racism" not to target a racial minority out of proportion to genuine suspicion?

You claim that disproportionate cross-racial shootings of off-duty police officers is due to "actual racism," but the study you cite says the disparity is likely due to unconscious biases rather than racial animus. Problems of fear-conditioning and P200/N200 overmatch are problems, but they have a different solution than the problem of police departments filled to the brim with racists.

I was interested by the stereotypically black name versus stereotypically white name study, but was deeply disappointed that it didn't study that question. Instead, it seemed as though the study were deliberately trying to blur the lines between race and class. Why compare "Jamal" to "Emily" or "Greg" instead of "Dakota"?
> most self-help content is overly repetitive so definitely good to have summaries like this.

Yup, a lot of them are basically written out versions of blogposts. I mean one of the "original" self-help books, Dale Carnegie's one about people, can be summarized in a list of bullet points - the book itself is padded out with anecdotes.
I may have misunderstood your requirements, but why do you say that most static hosts don't allow custom headers to be set?

I know that Netlify does[0], and use it myself, so I would expect the other big names to support something as well.

There are at least two interpretations of "came from the seafood market down the road" (Hunan seafood market):

- an infected animal at the market transmitted the virus to humans
- an infected human at the market transmitted the virus to humans

The book "Viral" (Chan/Ridley), states, based on the official research performed on the matter:

> This China-WHO report revealed a different picture from that given by media reports. The market was called a seafood market for a reason: most of the stalls were selling seafood and freshwater aquatic products. Crocodiles were being sold alive. Snakes and salamanders were being slaughtered on the spot for sale. From sales records in December 2019, just ten stalls were selling meat or products from birds and mammals, including chickens, ducks, geese, pheasants and doves; and deer, badgers, rabbits, bamboo rats, porcupines and hedgehogs. According to the market authorities, all of these animals were from licensed farms and no illegal trade in wildlife was detected.

> The authorities tested 457 samples from 188 animals spanning 18 species. They all proved negative for SARS-CoV-2 genetic material. This included 27 stray cats (a species that is susceptible to the virus), which were presumably living free in or around the market, as well as 52 rabbits and hares, 16 hedgehogs, ten mice, seven dogs, six muntjac deer, six badgers, six bamboo rats, a number of pigs, five chickens, three giant salamanders, two wild boar, two crocodiles, two soft-shelled turtles, two fish, one sheep and one weasel. They tested 616 animals of ten species from the suppliers to the market and found no sign of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material.

Note that this doesn't imply the lab-leak hypothesis, as the human in the second case may have contracted the virus from an animal elsewhere.
"no need to make this a hill to die on" is what you say to someone to take away their ability to say "no". Don't make it your usual stance.
We ran into the same issue and we had to use API gateway to rewrite urls. but it had the added benefit of handling CORS there and the preflight requests never hits the application servers.
Additionally preflight requests are cached at cloudfront and at browser with "Access-Control-Max-Age" and for the first request we do pre connect during the main domain load so the users never notice the small latency it may have.

I agree that AWS products are all over the place.
You are repeatedly making very strong, incorrect (quite aggressively insulting) claims about my intentions based on your own invented assumptions, despite having been told directly that you were incorrect.

You now claim that actually I am lying about what my intentions were. You insist that I was previously intending to be insulting and cruel and that by (a) apologizing for being insensitive and (b) denying that was my original intention I am being “passive aggressive”.

(To what end do you think I would do this, and who do you think my “aggression” is aimed at? You think I am just trolling you for my own amusement?)

I don’t see any way of convincing you otherwise here; continuing this conversation seems futile. Have a good day.

I'd expect that to be part of the standard threat models that a fund would have prefab contract modules for. Founders still have 50+1? (otherwise it's clear what would happen) Include module "contingency stake transfer agreement" or something like that.

But it won't come to that, I'd expect GP's "socially impossible" to work well enough. Particularly when there actually is something in the contracts, that something will never be tested.
> explicitly racist policies seems like a step down from at least attempting to evaluate individual merit.

It is a result of the observation that the usual methods for evaluating individual merit are themselves racially biased and, therefore, require a correction factor applied.

> Attempts at race blindness

This ignores the environment factors around the development of minority individuals that impact the measured merit.
Fiercely well researched answer. Well done.

Is avoiding the OPTIONS request as simple as keeping a fetch to the same origin? I thought there were all kinds of rules for something to be considered a "simple request", like it can't be JSON, can't be PUT or DELETE, etc. I haven't looked much into this but does someone have a clear answer?
Not that often and as influenza is a relatively simple virus in comparison with coronaviruses, predicting the cross-reacting variant is reasonably easy.

Lovely article and perhaps the first one that people new to Wilson's work, like me, should read. Having read it, I can't say that I came away thinking Wilson was racist, at all. If anything, it inspires me to try to be less emotionally charged when dealing with emotionally charged issues.

I'm in a situation like that right now, well, my wife is, i suffer from a very strong depression that is destroying my life, relationships, jobs and hobby's, to be fair i don't know how she can endure that.
My depression keeps me away from doctors, friends, it keep me in the same job position because i can't find forces to learn more things, i am still fighting this war and i hope to get well some time
Agree. When I'm interviewing I'm trying to evaluate if the candidate will be able to do a real job. In the real world you're coming up with answers to a novel problem. There's no way to know what the complexity of the optimal solution is (unless you can prove it, which doesn't happen outside of a classroom).

This. Management needs to understand the value of "tinkerers" and "massagers". They're immensely valuable, but since they don't have a direct production output, managers rarely understand the value they provide.

Without them, quality degrades and you get a lot of busy work from working in inefficient systems.
I've noticed similar thing after reading through Atomic Habits and books written in similar way. Yes, padding the book with cherry-picked anecdotes to support your argument gets old quickly. It bothers me when only one side of argument is presented.

There are few merits though. First, people learn better through examples than through theory alone. If the book can lay down some distilled observations and then show actual life situations where these concepts are presented in context, the subject becomes more clear and understandable. Second, summarizing book information may preserve the gist, but for habit-changing concepts to take hold they need to be repeated and ingested over days and not minutes. Third, not all have the same power of focus and most people need relatable stories to keep their attention.

The Atomic Habits book has good summaries of each chapter and of overall concepts, so you are free to digest it in your own way.

Regarding your principle of reading only 30+ year old books, I would be worried that the contained knowledge has gone stale, is based on data that was proven to be wrong, or just that the language/cultural context has shifted enough for me to misunderstand the author. Also, if a person is a top talent in a specific field, it doesn't mean they are a good writer, or that their interests are aligned with reader's.

There is a role for summaries with different levels of detail. The short capsule summaries are useful(for one thing, it is easier to remember) and your link itself is a great example.

But, there is also a role for longer summaries, which are still short relative to the book, but include useful points and some of the illustrative examples not present in the shorter summaries. Reading a 250 page book has ample scope for the mind to wander and lose track of the important issues which is not an issue with a 10 page summary.

Further, summaries at this level are less available, and it would be a good thing if more books had such summaries. (The downside being people might be more likely to skip the original book and the author is not rewarded - this can be corrected to an extent if the author themselves give these shorter summaries at the end of the book or as a separate short book. Also, some others might be motivated to get the original book after reading the summary).
