The computers I own are from the 60s onward. The 70s and after 2005 (somewhat) are the most unreliable. All my 60s, 80s, 90s systems still work provided they are not PCs. The PCs from the 80s still work, but 90s and upward are quite hit or miss; HP servers, which can be seen as PCs I guess still work but desktops and laptops are broken. My favorites are msx-2(+), msx turbo r, atari st, Amiga and Sun E450 and UltraSPARC stations. They all seem unbreakable. Or maybe I am just lucky; I never had leaky capacitor issues yet that plagues many 80s ones. The one from the 60s is, obviously, over 50 years now but although called a computer, it cannot win consistently at tic-tac-toe as it is, as the memory Is wired and a few bytes; at least the 70s and 80s ones are usable somewhat (at least for games).
How is this better than dosbox? I just tried running a dos program with it, it just silently coredumped.
Being thoughtful is a better approach than "considered harmful" clickbait in any situation.

Regarding CSS margins, they are part of the box model even if certain stylesheets neglect them, and the only conflicts they can be involved in are easily solved (a rule for "container x" is more specific than a rule for "x" and can override margins, particularly with parent padding, in special cases) and they highlight genuine design defects: trying to use a component both with and without its "natural" margins (without adding appropriate classes or wrapping containers), trying to specify conflicting margins, trying to fit variable-sized content inside fixed-size containers by messing with the content's required margins, and so on.
I would say there are 3 factors.

About the scroll, yes, flutter feels weird on the web.

Italy has been a cultural power for several times longer than the US exists.
How is Italy an American bastion?
> Should other countries distinguish between the USA and the American government? That’s something I don’t see.

I think it's important when you are discussing some actions taken by a minority leadership - an unelected leadership at that. If Biden did something bad on behalf of the US, I would be tempted to say "Biden did X" rather than "America did X", especially if potentially speaking to an American.

I also think in terms of geopolitics, it's important to criticise the Chinese government rather than the Chinese people - especially with increasing nationalisation ongoing in China.

Another commenter pointed out that the probability of this ratio is around 4% (haven't checked the math on that, though; statistics was never my strong suit). While that sounds like it's unlikely, this virus is bouncing around and mutating in hundreds of millions of people. When your absolute numbers are that large, unlikely events should be expected to happen, and happen fairly often.

But, to support GPs suggestion: Wouldn't it be nice if there was something that would help hold the hand of an educated-but-not-expert reader when reading the actual paper.

I don’t think that is a fair characterization of k-drama. If anything, the closer analogy would be what the Japanese automotive industry did in the 80’s. They took a massive, bloated, stagnant industry, reinvented and perfected it, and then exported back to America.

Yeah, that's not just in SV. Here in The Netherlands, you might have a neighbor who hosts illegal fireworks in their apartment/house. Some of that (e.g. 'cobra') is akin to having explosives. Which is illegal to have in your house, due to the safety concerns for other people.
Self publishing has value, and its value is not reduced by peer review publications. No one sets to lose anything from this, except maybe dishonest people.
It's great to oversee certain hypotheses, but as a whole it's largely clickbait, IMO.

Aside from what I said, for example, GoF research generally introduces silent mutations at about the same rate as natural evolution, because it's experimental evolution after all. Likewise, such research often implies loss-of-function, due to uneven selection pressure (unless you do GoF in humans, which isn't really needed in a pandemic scenario).

But on the other hand, he raises the point of the low level of silent mutations, which is more a case of genetic modification than GoF, and doesn't even mention the possible loss-of-function.

So even though the lab leak is plausible, she's using arguments that contradict each other, knowing that at least one of them is invalid (most certainly the GoF one).
I believe a lot of mod authors frown upon this for some reason.
Seems a bit of a mish-mash. "Subtle" is definitely of latin origin, and most romance languages still pronounce the b - per the article, "debt" is actually in the same ballpark. "Island" however is of proto-germanic origins (ieg, iegland) and the coincidence with latin "insula" which later gave French "isle" and from there English "isle" is accidental.

[0] https://www.etymonline.com/word/island

Edit: note about debt though - in most Romance langauges today, there is no b: French dette, Spanish deuda, Romanian datorie, Catalan deute; Portuguese and Italian do seem to use debito, with the b, though. The situation is similar with subtle: we have "subtil" in French, Romanian and Catalan; but sutilo in Spanish and Portuguese, sottile in Italian.

We should also note that Romance langauges tend to prefer phonetic spellings to etymological ones, with French being something of an outlier. Even there, the extra letters that are written are typically still relevant in declinations/conjugations, such as in mauvais (masculine, silent s), mauvaise (feminine, se pronounced like z).
“Acted an criminal act with aim to harm the child.” Don’t see anyone suing her for that one - as an evil human being, of course- except for online underdogs screaming “crusify her!”
English is spoken by more non-native speakers than native, and often they pronounce those letters since they don't know about it. With that in mind, I wonder if the language will eventually evolve to a point where the "b" of "debt" and other silent letters are no longer considered silent.
> > We show that, contrary to the usual implications of network effects, they do not serve to concentrate the cryptocurrency market, nor do they accord any one cryptocurrency a definitive competitive advantage, nor are they consistent enough to be reliable valuation tools. Therefore, while network effects do occur in cryptocurrency networks, they are not (yet) a defining feature of the cryptocurrency market as a whole.

Interesting. If there are ways to quickly/cheaply "bridge" between blockchains, presumably the entire space will benefit as one from increasing network effects.

Aren't you describing a feature branch? That frankly sounds like git 101.
Note that the article isn't suggesting that delta originated as a lab leak, just that some Taiwanese scientists were experimenting with delta in a lab (after delta had been seen widely in the wild), and a lab worker there was infected by delta in the lab (rather than getting it outside), and then brought that infection outside of the lab. That's a lab leak, but it's not the origin of delta.
Does the 3d games today still use ray tracing or some other algorithm?
I believe it was originally designed to be a safety valve in the system. A person can be found guilty because the laws are blind, but if a (loud) majority of the population thinks it was a misjustice, the president can fix the situation.

I don't think any of the founding fathers foresaw presidents using their power to pardon their friends. The whole system is extremely vulnerable to an insider attack - very few tools are in place to work around corrupt leaders.
There very much is a 't' sound in 'often,' but it depends on how you talk (whether or not there was before, language changes). If you're saying native speakers are saying it wrong, then I don't know what to tell you.

While not military, most websites handle some kind of personal data (even IP addresses count as such for GDPR purposes) and a large chunk of the world has regulations that impose penalties or at the very least requires disclosure (bad PR) for data breaches.

Considering how easy and relatively cheap it is to get your own dedicated bare-metal server, I don't see any reason to bother with shared hosting anymore.
Did you know they only ever got Al Capone on tax evasion? Would you draw a similar conclusion in that case, or maybe did the effort put into pinning Capone on tax evasion have more to do with how he was running a murderous criminal organization for many years?
For my part, I always find it amusing when people from {the area in which the EU is dominant} hear a rhetorical comparison country-to-country and respond citing a major region from their part of the world.

It really underlines how massive the US is, and how hard that is for outsiders to truly comprehend.
per etymonline debitum is a conjugation of debere, 'to owe', potentially from de-habere, which basically means 'to take away'. habere may be from PIE *ghabh, to give or receive, possibly also the root of 'gavel'. ACLU claims many to most small claims cases are debt collection. This origin may be highly appropriate
It’s nice they all focus on a different area, though I imagine that took some time to sort out.

My gotcha and the negative reaction to it shows only that the majority of readers are ok w/ using of clickbait titles. That's a pity. Although bringing attention to such things always gets negative reaction in the beginning. Not the reason to stay silent anyway.

Out of intellectual/professional honesty e.g.?
That was from December 2019:[1]

> Based on currently available numbers, there are about 31 vacant housing units for every homeless person in the U.S.

The most recent numbers are 15,185,000 vacant housing units (Q3 2021)[2] and 580,466 homeless people (January 2020),[3] which makes the current ratio 26.2 vacant housing units per homeless person in the U.S.

If you want to go by year-round vacant housing units, that number drops to 11,671,000, and the ratio becomes 20.1. For year-round vacant housing units held off-market, it's 7,008,000 and 12.1.

Though the numbers are different, it's pretty clear that there are many times more vacant homes than homeless people in the U.S.

> How long do people think it should be?

As long as the copyright owner is willing to pay for it. The first, say, 7 years should be free. After that, the copyright owner declares a value (which serves as a standing offer to sell it into the public domain that any person, natural or corporate, can accept by rendering payment) and pays an annual tax, at a gradually increasing percentage, on the declared value. There should also be a minimum declared value for continued protection, which also increases by age of the work (as well as being indexed for inflation).
A margin is contextual, so a reusable component shouldn't have them.

It's a shame that CSS doesn't allow the parent element to define how spacing around the child elements should work.
As mentioned in the article a lot of people in the UK were introduced to a certain brand of Asian cinema via 'Tartan Asia Extreme'.

I was no different. As a student I'd venture into the tiny world cinema section of HMV and flick through the titles looking for anything that had the 'TARTAN ASIA EXTREME' branding on it.

So many fantastic movies in the collection [1]. Oldboy, Battle Royale, Dark Water, Hard Boiled, Ring, Infernal Affairs, Audition, etc.

> Before copyright was a thing, freely copying and remixing the ideas and stories of others was the default

You describe this as something positive without considering that it was basically impossible to survive as an author (or any other creative professional) before copyright existed unless you had a rich patron sponsoring you (who obviously had his own agenda) or were independently wealthy. It wasn't really feasible to make a living by selling your work to actual consumers. I mean just look at Cervantes one of the most popular writers in Europe at the time who died in relative poverty and obscurity and who was basically only able to write and publish what he did because he found a rich nobleman willing to finance him.
I'll give it a go:

It's a bit like a startup. That is: creating the thing isn't the only part - getting people to want it, i.e., finding a market for your product, is intrinsical.

Case in point: Van Gogh. He only became greatly appreciated after his death.

What does that mean for copyright? In this line of reasoning, copyright during life of the creator is reasonable. A work may become a cultural touchstone for ever (Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, Bach/Mozart/Beethoven), for one or two generations (Elvis Presley/Cliff Richards[1]), or maybe it becomes simply widely known without being considered an indispensable part of culture (Venga Boys - Boom Boom Boom). During life of the creator, the creator's efforts should be protected and she/he should be allowed time to get her/his creation ingrained in general consciousness. Post-life, the heirs could be allowed some time to reap what was sown - e.g. 10 years, extendible once for 10 years for payment.

As the OP, I'm not saying this is my view on copyright. I am wondering why society should think it owns something I created. "Because others benefit" is insufficient in my opinion: if you're posting on HN, you're in the wealthy half of the world population. Others would benefit if society took half of what you own and distributed its value to those significantly less well off.

I'm in favour of the concept of ownership myself, but I don't see why creative works should be exempt from that.

[1] at one point in time, there was an Elvis vs. Cliff vibe. Possibly strength depending on where you lived (more apparent for UK/EU folks?).

We have a record of successfully tracing viral origins. This is extremely detailed and difficult science. The last two coronavirus outbreaks took around fifteen years to understand. The previous pandemic was HIV which took even longer than that. Thinking that there is a quick and easy way to understand the origins of SARS-CoV2 variants based on narrative inference is essentially asserting that it is different this time. That might be the case, but it will probably take a long time to be sure. In the mean time we can be confident that we understand previous natural viral origins and also predict that there will be more coronavirus outbreaks no matter what people do in labs. Science and history did not suddenly change because there is an interesting hypothesis linked to a dramatic narrative.
If you ever tried to watch central europe tv, for example Czech and Slovak TV shows, then you would understand why people prefer American production. It is pure trash. With exception of couple Czech movies.

Do you pronounce it ayesthetic?
3D games have basically never used ray tracing. They're starting to, a little bit. Some old 3D games (think Doom-era) used an algorithm called "ray casting", which is similar to ray tracing but much more primitive and much faster - among other simplifications, instead of one ray per pixel, you only have one ray per column.
In American English, unlike British English, œ and æ have mostly been collapsed into e. Compare encyclopaedia, foetus, faeces, diarrhoea, oestrogen. (But exceptions spelt the same way in both dialects: phoenix, oeconomics).

If you'd like to encourage what you consider the correct pronunciation, I'd suggest favouring the spelling esthetic, which I do see but less commonly.
I mean, the top comment is someone proposing a better title. That's actually adding value to readers, compared to nonsense points that have nothing to do with the article. And that comment already was there when you commented, too.
NHS websites asking for DRM in Firefox and Chromium
Articles like https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/abdominal-aortic-aneurysm/ for example keep asking me to enable DRM.

Is this normal? I can't understand why a health website would require the use of proprietary DRM. The only video on there is educational, and plays fine with no DRM.
The crazy thing is, Beats is a reasonable idea. The whole hype surrounding it was stupid, but a fully-remote-across-seventeen-timezones team would really benefit from a single, well-defined time standard. No more "Can I call you at 8am your time?" "Sorry do you mean my time at home, or my time in Costa Rica (came here for the holidays)"
Also seeing the title and the upvotes tells this is one of the topics that matters to the HN community, simply how to make money.

Not saying it is bad, just an observation.
Maybe "pragmatic prosecutors made pragmatic decisions instead of satisfying random internet commenters looking for perfect justice."
I do see why you could have misunderstood that statement, but I at least understood it correctly on my first read, and didn't think anything more of it (except that I hadn't known about this particular leak before, and thought that was interesting) until reading your comment here.

So while I can see why you might have found that confusing, I also think the author could have believed the wording wasn't confusing, and is innocent of any accusations of bad intent. I think that's where the "hysteria" accusation comes from (though I agree that's a bit out of line): you seem pretty adamant about painting the author with a bad-faith brush, even after your misunderstanding was corrected. That's not ok either; just admit that you misunderstood and overreacted, and move on.

I'm not sure I buy this omicron lab leak theory, though I do think there may be better (if incredibly circumstantial) evidence for this than for the original virus being a lab leak from Wuhan. Under the assumption that the author is wrong, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that the argument is sincere, if flawed.
I almost pretend that I am a contractor or consultant in my head to make it more bearable :-)

I'd say Java, except I don't like Java and getting native-looking UI seems to require rebuilding it for each platform, taking away it's one merit of "running the same jar everywhere".

Qt is relatively easy to cross-compile for at least linux and windows, and if you're mac-native, it might be easy to build for all three platforms
