You are conflating multiple issues which only shows that you care about eliminating cars for a different agenda.

If climate-change-induced-by-cars is a "runaway locomotive", you can solve that differently (eg. electric vehicles). Eliminating them from cities will probably not solve the climate-change effect they have either (most distance travelled is outside cities, including in Germany), but only the local pollution they cause.

If you care about cyclist and pedestrian experience, you can solve that in another way (dedicated lanes and better road design, driver education...).

Finally, congestion is a symptom and not a cause: it's the effect of people needing to get from a bunch of places into another set of places. Anyone who's ever travelled on public transport during rush hour anywhere heavily populated has experienced the same thing (eg. can't get into a subway train due to it being over-crowded).

You also seem to ignore the "fringe" 10% of the population (I made that number up, obviously, to indicate a small proportion, but even in Germany, that would make it millions of people) that currently has no access to public transport in a way they need (if they need to switch 5 transportation vehicles to get to work in 2h with this "painless" switch, it's not very "painless"). This is why I mention "relocation" in my previous post because that may be the only viable option to not make them spend 12h outside their homes for work purposes, and costs of relocation can be prohibitive.

Basically, you are either being purposely ignorant of the issues at hand or simply have the overconfidence of someone clueless jumping into a legacy project.

None of it is painless, or it would have been done ages ago. I admit that we sometimes do need overconfident, clueless people to enact a change, but sometimes we do not.
Well EUV alone cost many billions of dollars to develop. It's also not clear that China is particularly good at leading high tech innovation. If you just look at the dollars and cents, they should be inventing new technology at a similar rate as the US. Doesn't seem like they're pulling their weight.
The claim wasn’t that Delta originated from a lab leak but rather that Delta happened to leak from a lab (after the point that it existed in the wild). Additionally, the phylogenetic points from the article would suggest that Delta is of natural origin
I find fiber to be most rare in recently developed suburbs (1980s to 2000s) with buried utilities. It is too costly to dig and lay new fiber to the home underground.

Stringing it along existing poles is cheap, and installing it in new underground utilities is cheap.
Sometime ago I came to a conclusion that there might be another reason why american (western) left is talking more than acting on the problems from their agenda: any action has 2 inherent risks: risk of failure and risk of success.
While risk of failure is quite easy to understand, risk of success is a very different beast. Risk of success is when solved problem renders the entire movement pointless and puts people in power at risk of losing control.

There is absolutely no capacity to replace ASML on any sort of short timeframe.

EUV step and scan systems are roughly the size of a bus, fractal system complexity and sophistication that rivals the LHC, and mirrors with a roughness two orders of magnitude finer than what the JWST space telescope has to work with (namely .2nm compared to 20nm).

Please do not underestimate the difficulty of manufacturing EUV systems, ASML only manages to build a few dozen a year for a reason :)
Thanks! I did try and polish it a bit, but with so many different features and apps, there is for sure some rough spots still. And I mostly focused on Chrome/Windows experience on Desktop.
The thing here is, you get up to around 20 years just with a single wire fraud count, because the amounts involved here are so high. We're at $143MM in losses on the three wire fraud charges together (2B1.1 states they're to be summed up), which gets you a 26(!)-level enhancement from the base level of 7. That's 12 years (at the bottom of the range), and every other enhancement you take after level 33 is another ~4 years; there are 3-4 enhancements (like "sophisticated means") that seem likely to apply.

On the flip side, given the huge sums involved, it's not easy to make the numbers make sense served consecutively.

Here's an article about grouping:

Heavy agree - I can entertain theories just fine, but those are the jankiest of sources that do not at all support the theory that Delta was a lab leak, simply that a technician was infected by Covid and the prevailing believe is that it was a mouse > human transmission.
I've heard of a situation where people exercised their options at the stock's high point (because of the 90-day limit, or just plain ignorance), but by tax time the stock had dropped precipitously because of an accounting revenue recognition scandal.

Even though they didn't sell their stock at a loss, they were forced to sell a big part of their holdings to meet their tax bill.

But, worst of all, the stock rebounded the next year.

---------------------------

I had other friends that exercised their stock, knowing full well they'd have to sell some at tax time to pay their taxes. What they didn't count on was getting promoted to the C-Suite and ending up LOCKED OUT of selling stock.

They told me the story of this huge tax bill (which they could have comfortably paid if they could sell), and a huge penalty for paying them late. I'm not a tax person by any means but I suggested they _donate_ stock to charity.

Turns out it was a good idea. With their tax accountant's guidance they were able to donate stock at the current value, realize the deduction and offset their gain. Problem solved.

(Again, I'm _NOT_ an accountant. Don't try this on your own at home. Only attempt in the presence of a qualified tax accountant.)
While Theranos claims were absurd , it is not hard to believe there is scope for improvements in specific areas which is what OP is trying to say I guess.

1. The premise assumes there are not significant wastage in the current processes and those are near optimal. Any non optimal paths could potentially benefit from improvements

2. While there are some tests at that low concentrations not all tests have components at that low concentrations. Those could certainly be improved ?

3. Reuse and cross testing the same samples, or testing for multiple things at the same time etc, are all areas that could yield better outcomes than current standard.

4. Perhaps it is also possible that while primary marker for a test is not present in the sample, its presence in the blood could have left other markers that are detectable

I don't know anything about lab testing, if I can think of few approaches to solution for the low sample problem. Experts may have many other approaches so it shouldn't be surprising if there are improvements claimed ?

You'd have to be blind to not see that the "mainstream system" is the one flushing the climate down the toilet.

Bitcoin is just a byproduct of the "mainstream system". It was created by it. It's like the waste product that comes out when refining toxic ancient sludge into oil. And Bitcoin will never go away until the "main stream system" itself dies.
> Sure, but every spending so much time on it every single day can be a serious burden

Yes, but that simply isn’t necessary.
This was the argument made by Larry Lessig in Eldred vs Ashcroft - the extreme length of the US copyright term is well beyond what's necessary "to promote the progress of science and useful arts." 95 years is by no means a "limited time."

I don't expect anyone to believe me, but just a few hours ago when I was at work (without any internet so I 100% did not read this thread), I had a sort of mental scenario in my head about Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel being discussed on HN. In the scenario, the topic was Beyond Skyrim, and I brought up TR and PT to say how much more impressive they are. Now I come home and see there's an actual thread. Pretty crazy coincidence.
This is just untrue though, my company has to eat the cost of fraudulent transactions and the burden is squarely on us to prevent it.
So, right now Unity, Cryengine and Godot all use C# as a language (though it's fairly new to Godot, but is fully supported). Godot is a free game engine to get started on and publish on to start with side projects/build up a portfolio on - though (and double check the documentation) you can use Unity for free and then they take a cut if your game makes more than X amount I THINK.
What do wasps have to do with automotive design?
No. I don't think what they did was wrong a), and, b) because it genuinely is prevalent. Maybe if the statue of limitations passed on some of the startups I've been involved in, I might consider it, but even then, doubtful.. It doesn't matter what was done, the startups were successful and the investors got paid back, so who is going to ask questions and why?

I think the ideals are similar to indie web [https://indieweb.org/], so maybe the author may want to join that community. Basically the indie web feels like a mature community-based approach to what the author is describing, minus the javascript library.
> But I am personally not convinced that sending someone "to jail for a long, long time" is the solution. How is that productive?

At least for murder, one of the strongest predictors of whether a person will kill is if they've killed before. So prison is productive because it makes it more difficult (though not impossible) for a person to keep killing.
Ok I'm not American so perhaps my perspective is different... More than 10 years would be utterly barbaric. The 65 years mentioned in another comment chain would be well beyond the pale.

I'm no fan of Holmes, but what good does it serve to lock up non violent criminals for decades?

The option to set a limit doesn’t require you to set one. Assure lets users have a limit without any significant issues.
Well, I didn't really mean to say that what made him a billionaire was making it hard to cancel amazon prime, that was just an example I came up with that demonstrates Amazon general stance on user-friendliness.

Still, I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to dispute. If we agree with both premises(1. Bezos is a billionaire and 2. Amazon products aren't usually user-friendly), than I maintain my position that the expression "Jeff Bezos did not become a billionaire by being user-friendly" evaluates to true.
I wanted to specify that I find these attempts to but vaccination and covid-19 into perspective very important. This is first study that I know so far has truly attempted to do so. Now in current state they create more confusion and possible harm but they have the data so they should be able to fix these issues.
No shit :)

you can use separate dev/release branches, and do something like "git diff master" (if you dont git push, you don't even need a separate branch, git diff origin/master works, but you lose half the point of frequent commits then)

Maybe they're closer to it now that they've just successfully released another movie on another streaming service.
Can I suggest that you take a "vacation" by half assing your job instead of leaving it? Maybe switch teams at your company so people don't have expectations for you. You know the lazy people on your team who do 10% the work you do, are always missing deadlines, and leave at 2pm? Be like them. Make work your lowest priority. Don't do anything you don't have to. Don't do that extra code review. Don't voluntarily join a design review. Worst case your manager will talk to you about it. But I bet you'll be surprised with how much you can get away with.

A more radical option that could be good is to take a leave of absence. You can probably do this unpaid for 3 months or you might be able to ask your therapist to give you a reason for a medical leave which would let you get 50% of your income via FMLA. The nice thing about a leave of absence is that you get time to breath and establish your personal needed and you will probably land on a different team or at least rejoin your team with reset delivery expectations.

NASIOC is the oldest WRX forum on the internet, you should find a lot of knowledgeable people there.
Ok, in WWII a big part of Allied victory was the US mobilizing a vertically integrated industrial base to build war materiel.

You can look at the history of the Defense Production Act (1950) to see it in action several times building up local industries with lots of cheap money.
If you are looking for more material to help you better understand your soil, the best book I've read on the subject was A Soil Owner’s Manual: How to Restore and Maintain Soil Health. It takes a "just the facts" approach, which makes it more dense than it appears, but can be read through quickly. Here's a synopsis: https://thenaturalfarmer.org/article/a-soil-owners-manual-ho... .
I think you are all missing something, at least if discussing the US market.

I don't quite understand how it is intended to be used, if you have time can you describe your work flow with the tool?
Oh I genuinely mean that and nothing else. I'm remotely familiar with the topic, but I do not work with protein translation and viruses at all. My question about this silent/functional ratio argument could be completely wrong or in the wrong direction.

That original argument is interesting and is a surprising obervation to me, and I would love to read a well-written piece on that. Just keep in mind that "statistically unlikely" doesn't immediately mean "it's unlikely", you might have used the wrong presumption (in this case, silent mutation being not really silent).
That will unfortunately kill you pretty effectively, 6 liters or so in a short timespan is all it takes...

A low velocity financial instrument is still useful if it stores value, even if it has no other utility. Gold locked in a vault, rolex watch that is stored in a safe, stock whose voting rights are not utilized, a house that nobody lives in, pokemon cards that isn't used in a card game.

The list is endless and I guess if you're really asset poor you wouldn't see a value in these things.

Nah. The problem people have with copyright is the monopoly it gives the creator. That objectionable term is right there in the language of the copyright clause. There's no abstraction to flee to here. You can't reasonably argue that it's "new to American law".
> Similar reports of what?

Of myocarditis in kids (especially boys).

This is the pre-print I was thinking of: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.02.21267156v...

I have a pre-teen daughter myself and while she's not directly in a "risk-group" (like boys are) I wouldn't feel comfortable shoving jabs and boosters after boosters into her, when the benefits are dubious.

This is why many countries are holding off on vaccinating kids still, even though some countries like the US seem to be hellbent on vaccinating 100% at any cost.

Edit: The above study has risks broken up by which vaccines were administered as 1st/2nd (page 12). Interestingly Moderna+Pfizer seems to have no(!?) risk, whereas myocarditis is very high among Pfizer+Moderna. Not sure what to make of it.

Edit2: Keep in mind we haven't vaccinated <12 year olds extensively yet, but the data on young children is already worrisome (to the point where risks of myocarditis seem to outweigh risks of Covid).

Edit3: I'm myself double-jabbed, so not an antivaxxer per se, even though I'm classified as one as per "modern definition".

Upon reflection, I'm not so sure that our usage of our voice in real life can be dismissed so easily as a concern, even if the comment was intended to dismiss concerns about this website.

Probably the folks who could best use this nefariously are the folks we already know, who have much greater availability to our voice. Those folks are in the best situation to capitalize on a working voice model to, say, call our manager, bank branch, or local emergency operator. A random website would have to go to some effort to accumulate the needed information to use our voice for much, whereas someone who already knows us could have us fired for the contents of a phone call to the manager, up on charges for prank-calling 911, or worse.

This really misses the point. Any well-informed individual can cut their sugar intake if they are careful enough.

But that has no effect on the massive public health crisis unfolding that (e.g.) absolutely dwarfs COVID-19. Liver disease caused directly by sugar intake is indirectly responsible for many often-fatal conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disease, even metastatis of cancer. The only thing that can have any effect on that is massive policy changes, and a re-architecting of the public food supply.

This is not impossible: we have mostly eliminated hydrogenated fat from the US diet (although I recently found you can still buy Crisco at the grocery store!) So, artery blockage and heart disease from that will be on its way down. It took Fred Kummerow his entire career to get hydrogenated fat out of the American food system, from the '50s well into this millennium, but not substantially until 2017, even though it was known to be poison. (Europe banned it earlier.)

Try finding even a loaf of bread in the bread aisle of your supermarket that is less than 10% sugar. (You might find one or two. Good luck.) Even the multi-grain "healthy" ones are loaded. Check your sauces. Ketchup, mustard, barbeque sauce, mayonnaise, salad dressing, peanut butter, all usually have lots of sugar. So, even if you think you have cut it out, you probably haven't.

Kids have massive promotions directed at them to make them demand unlimited amounts of sugar. It works, they get it. Kids in the US are getting cirrhosis, like alcoholics.

This is not about self-discipline, it is about public policy. People will eat what is promoted to them, that they find on the shelves at the store, on the menu at the drive-through, in the snacks stock at the office. They will keep eating it while it makes them sick, and even while it kills them. (My mother-in-law died in October. She packed on sugar right to the end.)
Wickard v Filburn would have a word with you. It's why intrastate drug sales or making your own machine gun still spells federal jail time. The federal government has decided basically anything involving producing/consuming/possessing goods, even for your own consumption in state never entering commerce, is interstate commerce.
Modified air packaging with carbon monoxide is _very_ common in the US. So the “artificial color” isn’t some dye or something… it’s how the myoglobin reacts to the MAP.
I think there is confusion on what the author meant by "leaked". The Delta variant was already spreading, yes. The author is saying - and the first link above essentially states this - that a lab worker was infected with Delta while in a lab. (Though it's not stated whether that worker was quarantined immediately, or if they could have possibly spread it to others.)

So what's the point? 1,000,001 people have Delta instead of 1,000,000? No. The point is to show that Covid infections are indisputably already happening in labs. And if there is a GoF lab that creates a new variant, it logically follows that it is possible for that new variant to escape. So instead of the not-so-bad 1,000,001 vs 1,000,000 Taiwan scenario, you could have a disastrous 1 vs 0 scenario.
