Wow, I knew that Wuhan studied pathogens, but didn't know it was the first one in the country, and recently certified to study the most dangerous pathogens. This definitely nudges my bayesian posterior on the lab leak theory.
Apple has a large number of price tiers. You could always drop from the $4.99 price tier to the $3.99 price tier. Or maybe your month-by-month subscription price tier remains the same, but your yearly price tier could drop.

Not that any of them did that, of course.

Implicit in your comment is that once upon a time things were different. That is not at all clear to me. Rather, science, government, public health, etc have always been largely a mess, and whatever you conjure up in your idealized view of "the good old days" in those human endeavours is just good old fashioned selection bias.

This is a perfect example of the old adage, we lose on every gift card sold but we make it up in the long run.

Customer buys $100 gift card

Customer gifts gift card.

Recipient buys $89.99 worth of stuff

Recipient never returns to reclaim $10.01

Gift card expires

Company writes value of unused gift card off their books as profit.

There is a reason gift cards are popular, it’s a money making machine. There’s probably a stat out there but from memory 30% of the value of gift cards goes unclaimed.
Exactly. What you need to look at us the incidence of severe disease among each population of vaccinated vs unvaccinated. Comparing absolute numbers is meaningless.

The 2-shot vaccination rate in Israel looks to be around 65% right now, and 1 dose around 72% [1]. However, the vaccines are not randomly distributed: we can expect that the vaccinated population contains a lot more people with risk conditions, because they are much more motivated to get the shots.

What does that have to do with it? We all have important reasons we just absolutely have to be on that particular flight, but we're not entitled to be there.

I would have been incredibly annoyed had I been in his position... but I would have sucked it up and gotten off the plane, not acted like an entitled child, clinging to my seat. Should he have been hurt the way he was? No, of course not. But, c'mon, it's ridiculous to suggest that he wasn't in the wrong at all here. He was given a lawful order to vacate the plane, and refused. That's not "had done nothing wrong". Quite the opposite.

Doing a full gloss is pretty easy. Doing spot gloss, where only spots of the print has another material (typically a gloss material) requires special printers or has to be done by hand, as I understand it (I'm not an expert).

Sounds like you’re pro censorship and want more government control of the free market.
Great idea. Anyone who does anything wrong should be banned from the place where they did something wrong forever with no recourse or mechanism for lifting the ban.

Act unruly in a grocery store? You're banned from grocery stores for the rest of your life.

Act unruly at work? You're banned from having a job for the rest of your life.

Act unruly in a restaurant? No more restaurants for you, ever again.

What will happen to all these people who have been cast out of the public sphere and shunned by society? Who cares! They acted unruly once, there can be no forgiveness, no amends, no possibility for growth and change. I'm sure they'll all just quietly slump off to the shadows and die without a fuss so we won't ever have to think about them again. Meanwhile, the rest of us good, law-abiding citizens who have never done a single thing wrong or ever been rude to anyone in our entire lives can live in peace. Finally!
> You keep making this silly silly argument.

> A text message is not like a software application.

> If you really thing the two are comparable, you honestly don’t know anything about computer technology.

Ya know, I'm not going to attack you like you seem so set on doing to me. But for reference, I'm a lead SWE working on mobile devices.

As for how a text is comparable. All I'm saying is you claim the platform would be vulnerable with sideload functionality, and what I'm saying is the platform is already vulnerable to the attacks you think this would open the door to. Letting users sideload apps won't make it any more or less vulnerable.

> The platform security isn’t perfect, and nor is app review. Together they are much better than one would be alone. It isn’t hard to understand this if you want to.

I'll say it again, but louder for those in the back. The security is built in to the platform, not app review. If the security was only through the appstore you would see hundreds of viruses in the store a day, controlled by a server side flag. Just like what Uber did to run code differently if the app was being used by reviewers. [1] Why do you think apps need permission to access your sensitive data? That's not the app politely asking while having the ability to get it anyway, that's the _platform_ security.

Now, mind commenting on the part you've ignored twice now? I'll quote it, verbatim, again for you.

"What's the difference between running an app ad-hoc right now (via XCode) vs allowing a user to download and install any app they want. The answer is, there isn't any, except for artificial limitations put in place by apple."

How is the platform so vulnerable and insecure currently? You claim this functionality will cause viruses and adware to run rampant, yet people can do this exact thing right now, with artificial limits (3 max, 7 days max) put in place by apple.

> Actually you moved it from "holding your cryptocurrency" to being a bank with safety nets.

The comment I literally responded to is:

That's nice that you trust your bank. I wouldn't be so trusting. Nevertheless, if you want someone else to handle your funds for you, there are lots of reputable services that can hold your cryptocurrency with all of the guarantees you are desiring.

--- end quote ---

I didn't read the rest because it ends up in "It is up to society how it uses and enables Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies." which has moved the goalposts so far, they are now orbiting Jupiter.
You don't have to guess or use your imagination. You can find videos of even more unruly people getting forcibly removed from premises without such severe injuries. Here's one of a passenger getting forcibly removed (and I'm not even claiming it was all that great): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2CR_zuzNwg

I would also suggest considering that e.g. bus drivers face noncompliant passengers (non-paying, even!) far more frequently, and they have pretty good peaceful means of dealing with them.

LinkedIn is my guess, the social media platform with the most reshares and least amount of new content. Everything I see is just a reshare of the same CEO message, or "hustle life" post. I would expect to find posts about career questions and what's a solution to my business issue but it's really just a rebadged Facebook.

I have to have a LinkedIn profile but I try to keep my profile very close to my reality, which means I look like an underachiever compared to my connections.
I didn’t mean to imply that they were always honest or aren’t agenda driven. Unlike Joe Rogan of late, it doesn’t come up too often / isn’t something I want to inject into every conversation I have.

For example I’m always annoyed when I see the treatment of Julian Assange and how the corporate press ignores or denigrates him.

If I’m having a 3 hour chat with Jim Gaffigan in public or private I’m not going to bring it up even once.

If I would chat with Bill Maher or Edward Snowden for 3 hours I’d assume it’d come up.

Joe just injects it into all of his discussions. I can understand why he would be bothered by the attacks on his character but it seems to me like it has become detrimental to his state of mind day to day.

Maybe he needs to smoke some weed or DMT by himself and do some introspection ;)

On the contrary. In case of a monopoly price is guaranteed to cover the costs. In a competitive market the price can be well below the costs. Case in point: Epic games store. They are burning money to carve out a market share. That's an example of price decoupled from the cost.
This is a thinly disguised ad for AppSignal's product, but one bit jumped out at me:

"You run a shared CMS for publishing on the Web, and you allow article segments to be stored in your database. Your platform becomes successful, but most of your authors write book-sized articles. The pages table becomes very sizeable even though it only contains a few thousand pages."

How is this data hoarding?! Storing the text of the articles is the most fundamental duty of a database in a CMS and you have to be hugely successful for users to manually create a problematic amount of data. Unless you're running a content farm where the actual articles don't matter this doesn't seem like a problem.
Unironically the list represents the sad state of good f-droid apps

Many materials are stronger than "steel"[1], and a few of them are quite manufacturable in principle, but nearly all of them suffer from defects in other attributes.

Hardness, toughness, resistance to temperature extremes and degradation by environmental chemicals, ductility/workability, cumulative stress resistance, material cost, toxicity, costs and complexity of making joints, repairs, and other workings, and the ability to vary strength, ductility, hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, and thermal properties: all of these and more matter greatly.

"Steel" (as a category of materials) stands out as an all-rounder. Any new material is doomed to a niche, probably a small niche, unless it can exceed steel in all of the above.

[1] There is not just one "steel".
That's really not it. There is a heavy bias that the appendix is somehow beneficial because we evolved to keep it for some reason (though it could have been just a relic).

EBV is a virus. Our immune system does whatever it can to get rid of it. It causes significant illness. There is absolutely no reason to believe it is beneficial whatsoever.

If you think it is, you can prove it. We have literally hundreds of millions of people walking around that never got EBV. Go on, and find a statistically significant way in which EBV is beneficial for them. You have the burden of proof here.
A more accurate analogy would be if someone sold me a ticket to swim in their pool, then as soon as I show up and start swimming in their pool (having already paid for the ticket to swim), they say "actually my brother wants to swim" and call the cops when I don't want to leave because I haven't got the swim I paid for yet.

Except that's still not a good analogy because that involves the personal property of a discrete individual, not the somewhat public service vehicle of a faceless corporation. We shouldn't allow corporations to run roughshod over the little man. Just because civil suits exist as a potential route for renumeration doesn't mean we should allow this behavior from airlines in the first place.
I get it’s the practical answer given the state of how things are, but wanting to change the car instead of the infrastructure that forces the use of the car betrays a lack of imagination for how things could be.

I own a car, I’m not a “destroy all cars” guy. I just don’t want it to be the only option. The American suburban experiment has resulted in the least active, the least healthy, the most indebted, the most isolated, and the loneliest generation. Yes, of course there’s many other factors. But when you look at the studies of where people know the fewest neighbors by name, it’s in the little boxes on the hillside. Sprawl ain’t helping.

I get it, we all want plentiful cheap land after we’re done living with roommates. I do too. But there’s gotta be a better way than strip malls nestled between HOA-gated subdivisions, connected only by 45mph 6-lane stroads. There’s gotta be a way to build human-centric. Let’s talk about what the next suburban experiment will look like instead of perpetually adding more lanes, always straining to connect our increasingly disconnected subdivisions.
But this isn't a social credit rating, they're asking that people criminally convicted through due process be put on this list, much like the lsts states maintain for people convicted of sex offences, I assume that airlines will be able to decide whether or not to sell tickets to these people much as people can choose whether or not they want to move in next door to a sex offender
