It's of course not: believe science.

It's: obey authority. That's what they really mean when they say it. It's philosophically very wide, it represents a much broader spectrum for the person using it than just science. What you're witnessing is a coward's soul laid bare, when you witness someone shut down discussion with bumper sticker regurgitations.

When you read the history of any given authoritarian regime of more recent times, there is a large fraction of the general population that tremendously assists the monsters into coming to power, through endless acquiescing. They're the gray moralists, the fence sitters: who am I to have a brain, who am I to have an opinion, little me, who am I to do anything, who am I to hold an opinion separate from such and such important person, I do what I'm told when I'm told without asking questions. They're zombies and they're terrifying to observe in action.

So Eden sank to grief, so dawn goes down to day.
One reason could be because some of the people responsible for researching origins were personally involved in funding gain of function research in these labs. Some scientists privately supported the lab leak theory, but they abruptly changed their minds for unknown reasons. https://republicans-oversight.house.gov/release/comer-scalis...

I think what the parent was saying was that, for a futex, the kernel wakes you up when the condition might have been satisfied, but spurious wakes are possible too. (I'm counting the simultaneous waking of multiple threads as spurious wakes here.) That's not the case with locks, which only wake up when the condition is satisfied.
Yes, and that's supported (albeit weakly) by the fact that 3 researchers at the Wuhan lab became sick with flu-like symptoms in November 2019: https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210524/wuhan-lab-researche...
Microsoft doesn't shy away from outright lying to pry phone numbers from people.

I made a couple of Xbox accounts for my kids to use for some PC game. Used unique emails on my own domain and hosted on my own private mail server. Declined requests to provide any extras. Not a week in MS sends an email to both that literally said "Your _email_ account was hacked. Your Xbox account is suspended. Secure it with a phone number or it will be deleted."

The new and improved, people-friendly Microsoft. Just a fresh coat of paint over the same old core.

Make sure you know the recursive versions of the algorithms, and that’s pretty much everything you ever need for a generic coding interview, and you might not even get asked a dynamic programming or a producer-consumer question.

Maybe you need some more specialized data structures for a more specialized role (eg tries[0] and inverted indices, for a search job), but you probably already knew those if you were already doing that job.

There’s just not that much to know.

You could say that but, based on some revealed communications it also feels (we can never truly know what was in their heads) like there was a concerted effort by denouncers of the lab leak theory to conflate lab leaks with purposeful leaks to discredit the lab leak theory.
You obviously never ever seen rtt graphs for low-orbit and GSO satcom links.

It's not a zero friction environment. Switching platforms is a pain. A competitor would have to be spectacularly superior, while fighting uphill against one of the largest companies in history. The larger Apple gets, the stronger that pull- like a black hole.

Have you ever touched a katana, travelled a parsec, had trouble with the yakuza or seen a howitzer fire in person? No probably not, and even if you did others haven't, all of those things people know since you are interested in and consume action/adventure media.

Consider a person who don't care at all about action/adventure stuff. They just care about making the nicest home possible. They read books about it, watch TV shows about it, watch movies about it, and remembers those details and forgets about all the actiony nonsense. Why wouldn't they know words of things they will likely never posses themselves? It is the same concept.
Write-ups like this always assume Netflix will remain static.

In the past, they have faced two existential crises:

1) DVDs by mail was becoming a buggy-whip style business. They pivoted to streaming.

2) Streaming content licensed from other companies effectively gave them a “maximum profit”. Every efficiency they gained that led to higher profit was quickly negotiated away by rights holders who threatened to take away Netflix’s life blood (content). So they started their own production company and created their own content.

Now they’re being attacked from every direction by a host of competitors. History shows Netflix will not lie down. As an impartial observer with no dog in the fight, I’m interested to see what they come up with next.
I'm not sure I understand how to contrast the two things. They are entirely unrelated.
People have been finding partners and having children ... for the entire history of homo sapiens, and our homo ancestors, and their ancestors back to the dawn of sexual reproduction. In fact, there is probably nothing we are better evolved to do than find a partner, make babies, and raise them.

While I agree that dogmatic belief is not a good outlook for progress, here we should be talking about the alternatives.

And the alternative to a supposed "scientific belief" is "wishful thinking".

- Never noticed UI latency - and I use it mostly in a virtual desktop (Horizon Client)

- I have chat and documents open for collaboration all the time - how have you missed it?

- don't have it set to open on startup, perhaps? We're not allowed to have any apps open on startup that aren't of the handful of "approved" ones, so my first task every morning is [command] (I run VDI on my MBP) then click Outlook and Teams from my start menu. Takes about 10 seconds

- never had issues with the Teams/OneDrive integration ... and I've been using it for a couple years now day in, day out

- never saw a perms issue sharing/sending a file ... is it a restricted file type by your organization, perhaps?

- been in Teams calls with well over 500 people. Hardly a dropped sound.

- chat windows do age-out after a certain period of inactivity; they're still "there", but they're not in the most-recent list any more

I especially like the task cards you can create and monitor - and how comments/updates create their own chat threads, so you can tag someone via chat, and it'll bring them to the task card just by dint of replying to the conversation ... THAT was brilliant

I also like that when you create a meeting in Teams, it auto-creates the Teams room/links for everyone invited. Whereas if you make it in Outlook, you either need the Teams plugin enabled, or you need to manually add the conferencing info after the fact
A known, actively-studied virus leaking out of a lab is precedented, sure. Mistakes happen.

STEM is (barely) more female than male [0]. It only seems disproportionately male if you take the idea that 60%+ of people in a major should be female as a given, or if you pick very particular subfields in STEM and take them to represent all of STEM.

There is precedence for this, too. Still is, although we currently don't use the same terminology as we did during the cold war. You could argue that terrorists who strap themselves into bomb jackets also demonstrate this, and I've heard the acceptance of "collateral damage" thrown around as yet another aspect of it.

Underrated comment of the century
Exactly. The title is - “One Size Fits All”: An Idea Whose Time Has Come and Gone

As is so often the case in this industry an idea comes, goes, and comes back around again. Time to reevaluate.
> The aggregate of individual moral/ethical choices manifests as social phenomena.

That's not entirely false, but it's misleading. The personal choices follow relevant distributions, which are themselves not aggregates. Also, such choices are made in circumstances and under constraints that are not up to individual choice.
Wow, I know 100% of the male-identified words and none of the female ones.

I expected more overlap.

I'm not the only one in comments to say this, but perhaps it is interesting to see multiple people reporting this.
> On a cultural level, we must stop defining masculinity as necessarily toxic and start promoting positive masculinity.

There is no need to tell people how to behave 'on a cultural level'. It has nothing to do with anything other than some people trying to impose their beliefs on everyeone else.
400V is only used for stoves or instant water heaters, but e.g. our stove uses 11kW actually.

If you don’t have these amounts of energy available, the temperature your instant water heater can reach or the speed with which you can cook obviously suffers (which I suspect is one of the reasons why americans prefer gas stoves so much).
I think you mean wet market theory. This is true, but at least there was a "high bayesian prior" due to that being how it happened in the past. Nonetheless the wet market proponents were irresponsibly aggressive in their forcefulness.
Oh, that dumb thing that anyone with 1/2 a brain said would be dumb turned out to be dumb. Who would have guessed?

And when I say dumb, I mean fraught with fraud while providing no value.

I agree that a woman can't be a role model in the same ways as a man, but I believe this is not necessarily a bad thing.
> I think it got labelled as crackpot because a lot of the early proponents were suggesting that it was leaked on purpose, which strays well into conspiracy theory territory.

Maybe, but the early communication allowed for no dissent:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

> The rapid, open, and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened by rumours and misinformation around its origins. We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. Scientists from multiple countries have published and analysed genomes of the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and they overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife

> Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumours, and prejudice that jeopardise our global collaboration in the fight against this virus.

That's not ambiguous language. Pretty much a blatant slamming of the door on all non-natural theories of origin. Anything else was labeled "conspiracy" at a very early stage.

The funny thing is... I would say for about a couple of hundred thousands years before the Neolithic Revolution, we did.
The rollout has been good and well-planned, and definitely a long time in the making, but why is it whenever some user change is rolled out it is always to “improve user security”? Is it just a short hand at this point?
> That is - the men who'll grow up to be stable and reliable have lonely teenage years.

Wouldn't that be nice? That sort of karma is not really guaranteed to exist. Chances are the ostracized lonely introvert will be worse off due to poor networking and if he finds any success at all it will be despite many disadvantages. Meanwhile, asshole bullies could very well go on to become their bosses because sociopathy is often found in powerful people.
In the news today: scientists say they are totally not at fault when a lab-grown virus escapes from a science lab! When asked for how it could happen then, they said "Oh no no no no, it must be some people, uh... COOKING AND EATING BATS! Yeah! It must be the cooks, or the patrons, or someone else, BUT TOTALLY NOT US, because, uh, there's a market right by our lab!"

Just for the lolz I would have asked if they are frequent patrons :)

IDK, but I tend to apply Occam's to the theory, and to me, the alternative theory looked a LOT more crackpot-ish...
There's a lot of bias here. How many people care about tv so much they would switch platforms for a show? I mean, I care a lot but I will never get paramount+ for Halo or Disney+ for star trek. It's the only thing to do when I am just tired and need to sit down.

I am very tolerant of mediocre shows. I used only prime until a few months ago and I am honestly aghast and in awe of the amount of content on netflix. I feel like I could never run out of random things I can put on I haven't seen already. I think a lot of people do the same to the point where they have a "just play something" feature. Amazon prime had good content but slim pickings! And half the stuff you have to pay for, ran out of free stuff fast. Hulu likes ads too much, low value content too.

My point is, Netflix is "tv" everything else is some site charging for video content. You turn your cable tv on to some channel and just watch what is on, so long as you haven't seen it already. Netflix lets you do that, everyone else, maybe they have good shows but not enough of them. The Netflix UX is amazing as well, it rivals apple UX in my opinion. It just works, even autoplay preview works well somehow! Their app also syncs well and lets you download content for long trips and such.

I have to disagree with OP. Netflix is here to stay. Don't tell anyone but I would gladly pay up to $99/mo for it as-is because similar quality on cable does not exist but I would be paying much more for premium cable.

"Netflix+chill" is only a thing because of their UX, can't do that on Hulu because ads ruin things for example.
If most women are optimising unemployed men out of dating / marriage then men being unemployed has far more significant consequences for men than women. Women are all about equality for access to employment but then complain that there aren't enough suitable men with jobs. The more a woman earns the smaller her dating pool becomes. Perhaps she could be more flexible in partner selection? There are outliers but the data suggests women are very traditional in very particular ways. Whereas the situation for men has been to marry down. But no such expectation for women. Its an interesting little bit of hypocracy.

There's a heap of complexity around this. Society needs to shift and work this out. Its only been around a century. The answers are not so simple.
It's an assured-sounding statement, but what is it based on? I have role models that aren't my gender; it makes no difference to me.

Collapse of the Fern Hollow Bridge
The first outbreak being down the street from the Wuhan virology lab is in fact evidence. Not conclusive by any means, but it's an event that is more likely to occur if the lab leak theory is true than if it's false.

Boy, have I got a bridge to sell ya.
Who are you to define what masculinity is positive or negative? You are playing right into this narrative that masculinity is toxic.
absolutely agree I would say that rough sports games and even fights were pretty important to my growth as a child. I've tried to figure out what exactly I got from that kind of stuff as a child but I think its just kinda how males bonded back then.
Next step is having them featured on the cover of an O'Reilly book, or as a character in Aggretsuko.
This is where unfortunately the mass public messes things up. There lots of possibilities that exist as to the origins of COVID. However, everyone I know who thought lab leak was possible, also thought it could only be lab leak and accepted that based on little to no evidence. They themselves rejected that any other origin was possible. The same is said of animal origins. Essentially people picked sides with lack of evidence for whatever their popular theory is. So what we are left with is two sides who point at the other for being the bad guy while doing the same bad thing they accuse the other of.
- Can you give me an example of when a project took a major turn in another direction, and what was the cause of this change?
- (if applicable) How many heads is this role expected to support?
- What was the team's last achievement recognised by the whole company?
- When was the last time the team performed a disaster recovery exercise?
- Can you explain the process of "idea to feature retirement" starting with the request from the product owner?

I've got hundreds of questions from interviews over the years.
Here's what I wonder: what if the people associated with the Wuhan lab don't even know if it was a lab leak? What if they couldn't even prove it was if it was, or vice versa?

That could explain a rush to downplay a lab leak too. It wouldn't be "oh crap we leaked a deadly virus." It would be "oh crap... wait... did we leak a deadly virus?" followed by over a year of them quietly attempting to figure out what happened and not being sure.

One of the things I've learned in this life is: never assume malice when stupidity, ignorance, or carelessness is a sufficient explanation. Maybe they don't know if it was leaked because they didn't keep clear records or a complete history of samples.

Of course this is almost scarier: the idea that we are doing GOF research that's dangerous in such a way that it could blow up without us really even knowing what happened. At least if a chemical plant or nuclear reactor blows up it's obvious what blew up.
Teachers also give boys lower grades and girls higher grades when their gender is evident; anonymous grading greatly reduces the gender gap in primary and secondary school.
The OS comparison is especially bad since we have seen very little meaningful competition in that space.

Linux dominates the server space.
Windows dominates the desktop/laptop market, with Apple a niche player and Linux even more niche.
On mobile, it's more balanced but there is still a duopoly.

Personally, I would love to just pay a microtransaction for the show I want to see, but I'm not sure the economics stack up.
This is a spitball take, but I'm trying it out because I'm more interested in learning how it plays out than actually making a point.

Socialization is moving at a slower pace than the shift in economics. The trade deficit starting in the 1970s has overwhelmingly affected goods [1], resulting in the exporting of goods production overseas and leaving the US with a service-based economy[2]. The US at the time had a greater proportion of gender-dependent occupations[3]. The export of goods-producing jobs tended to disproportionately affect men as a result of this gender-occupation dissymmetry[4].

At the same time, people have been socialized with system of gender values. In the past these gender values were congruent with both gendered occupations[5] and gendered occupational values[5]. However, as the proportional of service occupations grew, a portion of men found themselves socialized with values[4] incongruent with the values associated with occupations now available to them. The lag between value socialization and economic realities represent a point of friction and frustration that is expressed as a feeling of being undervalued economically[7].
