> there are really only two paths toward ending the war: one, continued escalation, potentially across the nuclear threshold; the other, a bitter peace imposed on a defeated Ukraine that will be extremely hard for the United States and many European allies to swallow.
>Every day Trump was in office, NATO got weaker

Your entire argument ignores the fact that Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. You're saying that NATO was stronger before Trump, and yet they (and the US in general) let Russia waltz in, and annex Ukraine and that was that?

How do you account for that fact in your worldview?

I think my original point that I made poorly was that in, say 1987 one would see that games were exploring the possibilities of the sorts of thing that the original commenter was hoping to see, but were held back by limitations of the hardware.

What we ended up with was 2-9 factions with up to 3 levels of response (hostile, neutral, friendly) which would be a disappoint to an optimistic CRPG player from the late 80s.

How does this not mention project defuse, the NIAID funded EcoHealth Alliance research program taking place in wuhan which sought to:

1. Study immune boosting drugs in bats.

2. Take bat corona virus and 'predict' how it can become infectious to humans by incubating it in humanized tissues until it thrives in them, and if that is insufficient directly modifying it to insert a human-specific furin cleavage into the viruses genetic code for the spike protein (as this is an already known barrier to human infectiousness).

3. Inoculate wild bats against human infectious corona viruses by administering drugs to boost their immune system and exposing them to the viruses developed in the prior phase.

Sars-cov-2's primary functional difference from its nearest known wild ancestor is exactly the cleavage proposed in defuse. However, defuse proposed studying a different wild virus than the ancestor of sars-cov-2. The nearest known wild ancestor of sars-cov-2 is the virus the same researchers were working with immediately before the project proposal for defuse.

DARPA had declined to fund the project, with the view that it violated the US government moratorium on funding gain-of-function research ( https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/301... ). NIH has taken the view that this project was not gain-of-function research because the particular virus they were experimenting on could already infect humans (just not particularly well) and because they were directed to pause research and report if they found a ten fold increase in infectivity (the researchers seemingly failed to do so, but did eventually report when they hit a 10,000 fold increase in apparent viral load).

SwiftUI is still a little rough in some places though it is growing fairly quickly. If you are doing simple UIs where there are already UI components built, it works well, but if you need more custom or more complex you get into the weeds pretty quickly.

Catalyst is helpful for the near term (next few years?) to bring over more complex iOS apps that use the iOS UI framework. That gives developers a product now while they work on a SwiftUI version or whatever direction they end up going.

Lucky you! I hear a lot of it. Here is a summary, if you wish -- everything is USA/NATO's fault; war is horrible and the best way to end it is to stop supporting Ukraine and convince them to give up; if you say anything negative about Putin or doubt his words, then you are a hysterical warmonger and the good and decent people should make sure that you will be properly punished for that.

For me the depressing thing is the assumption that 50% of media in the West should be the voice of Russian trolls, otherwise something is wrong with the West.

Why would anyone have "no idea" about this? We're literally surrounded by women - moms, sisters, friends, wives - our entire lives. This is not some secret knowledge that men cannot grasp. Men know the score here, and have even intervened for our sisters or nieces when needed. I see stuff like this all the time online, it's absurd. Who do you think I spend most of my time with? Women.

I can't tell if you simply skipped over words while reading her response or if you simply brought personal bias into your reading.

First, you quote her as stating: "the Wuhan lab did not have "the fucking virus" -- we don't know what they had or did not have, because the Chinese government is not exactly being forthright on the matter." But her actual tweet notes "To have the virus originate at the lab under any circumstances, the lab has to have the fucking virus!" That seems to be a logical conclusion, which your framing dismisses.

Rasmussen continues by stating "Not only did they not have intact, infectious, replication competent RaTG13–which, again, is not SARS-CoV-2–at WIV, there’s no evidence they had any ancestral proto-SC2 virus." The first point was explained by the tweets above that one, and the second point is clear. There is no evidence that they had the virus, so any argument that there was a lab leak requires them to have the virus in the first place, going back to her first axiom at the beginning of the tweet.

But the bigger issue here seems to be one of framing. Yglesias frames the preprint in the context of the press response to it, and not so much the actual contents. The abstract clearly states: "Together, these analyses provide dispositive evidence for the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 via the live wildlife trade and identify the Huanan market as the unambiguous epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic." Note the lack of any mention of a lab leak here, or anywhere else in the preprint. Rasmussen's rebuttal is done in the frame of the conclusions of her research, which Yglesias misinterprets as a paper trying to disprove the lab leak theory.

Considering that he cites those figures as from the New York Times instead of from the appendix of the preprint, it seems pretty clear that Yglesias is responding to the New York Times article and probably didn't even read the actual preprint.
Neither of these things are actually deprecated; both remain far more stable than any web framework.

And how exactly would Putin's pupet government work towards joining the EU? It's not like it's a job for normal citizens to work towards that. This requires a desire and a massive effort of a whole government, to achieve.

Sounds like a joke.
Agree or not, but that is exactly the case being made by Russia. Here in the West we're led to believe the Ukrainian coup of 2014 was totally organic and sprung from the magic fairy dust of happiness and democracy. The Russians will tell you that was a CIA coup that installed an anti-Russian regime right on their border. This is why they took Crimea in 2014 and why we did nothing about it.

The key point is that an abstraction layer trying to implement an API that looks like parametrized queries is not equivalent to actual parametrized queries where the query and parameters are kept separately, and the SQL text is parsed and execution plan is formed by the DB engine before the parameters are even considered. If your DB library is inserting the parameters in a text query before sending it off to the server to be parsed as arbitrary SQL, that's not a parametrized query, but just fake smoke and mirrors.

Also, another reminder that the "hacker group Anonymous" (as opposed to the assorted spontaneously-assembled imageboard events and the anti-Scientology protest events) was a left-wing hactivist group that was infiltrated, then busted and jailed by the FBI.

We are headed into a new Cold War that will last decades.

Right, I understand the concept, and I suppose I should have been clearer. Compared to the same level camera by Nikon or Canon, why did you choose Sony?

I used to shoot with a D2X (dating myself here), and at the time Sony was not a serious contender at this level, at least among anyone I knew or any research I did. Everything was Nikon or Canon. Sony and Fujifilm seem to have some excellent cameras these days and I’m interested in what drew you to Sony versus the equivalent from Nikon or Canon?

Also, have the workflows improved on any of these in the last 15 years or is it still dump raw from the physical card to the computer and edit? Anything that lets you sync to a cloud storage when plugged in after a day of shooting?

Accenture and McKinsey both closed up shop in Russia. For those two to leave money on the table means there’s definitely something big happening behind the scenes.
Excellent! I hope this will at least make Putin less popular. And hopefully he will be replaced with somebody else.

The biggest mistake Putin made is that he was under impression that Russia can survive alone and isolated. That might be possible in 60s but not any more.

What about the one-user, commercial shop? Seems like commercial is minimum 10 users, but personal/developer is more expensive per user. Does a one man shop need to pay $250 for commercial use, or $75?
They say the best camera is the one you have on you …
Totally agree -- a similar situation has occurred where some airplane crashes and the people that know the most about it either work for the industry or consult for the industry and there is essentially nobody else that knows anything useful. So one way that this type of thing can be approached is to have a commission -- the equivalent of an information "firing squad" -- nobody really knows who said what, but it allows information to be presented from experts. But requires a ton of trust among the people in the commission to not out each other for who said what.
I think we can all bet that behind closed doors the people that are involved in this type of research are definitely treating the possibility of a lab-leak as highly probable and are thinking about ways to prevent it in the future since we now know that apparently tons of people would rather get disease X than be told what to do.. so we have a bigger future problem on our hands than we thought if something really nasty escapes..
People paying servers to selfhost are also fucked. This makes absolutely no sense since we all know the oligarchs etc will have oversea bankings and stay float. It's the average people who get punished, all for something they have no control over.

The body of mirrorless current gen cameras is also substantially shallower than older SLR and DSLRs. This is because the system to bounce light to the viewfinder is no longer needed. Most of the rest of the form is constrained by physics and ergonomics, so it doesn't change due to this new technology.

The lab leak hypothesis and the seafood market hypotheses are not necessarily in conflict. If a lab made a boo boo with a virus sample, they could cover up the institution's own infections, and purposely get some people sick at the market to make it look like it started there.

One reason sanctions against Putin aren't harder than they are, is because those of us in western Europe are still taking the relative luxury of (in my case) typing this comment sitting inside wearing an t-shirt, instead of having to wear my skiing inside my apartment.

I.e. the current sanctions explicitly excluded natural gas etc. Russia supplies around 40% of the EU's gas, demand is around 2x as higher.

We could just wear coats, but we're not. We could also do something more about it, but we're not.

No, it's not.

Otherwise, its (at most, depending on the actual terms) civil breach of contract.

The publisher doesn't own the copyright and can't contract out derivative works of the existing novels without the permission of the copyright owner (Martin).

What’s interesting is the contrast between the demographics of Afghan refugees and Ukrainian ones. At the Polish border the people crossing in were overwhelmingly elderly or women with children. It’s a sharp contrast to the majority of able-bodied young men who were trying to storm the airport in Kabul.

In any case, if they are already in Mexico then they are out of harm’s way and are in a safe country where they can claim asylum as refugees. They can then apply for regular immigration for the US if they wish to do so as economic migrants.
