nonsense, it's not now 'generally accepted' that it was a lab leak. It's possible. We don't know.

However, and this is critical, it was absolutely 100% misinformation when first claimed. Trump was desperate to deflect blame and not let COVID derail his reelection chances, so he immediately blamed China, well before we had any actual information, analysis, or intelligence to suggest that. Talk about your 'politics mixing with science' deteriorating trust.

The article describes "far-UVC" light, which they say is new.

> Far-UVC light has a shorter wavelength than conventional germicidal UVC, so it can’t penetrate into living human skin cells or eye cells. But it is equally efficient at killing bacteria and viruses, which are much smaller than human cells.

The UVC lights on Amazon are presumably plain old eye-destroying UVC.

(If you want to use UVC, get it installed in your air ducts, where eyes don't go.)

If we ran the entire world off of nuclear reactors, we could increase the energy we used and still not worry about exhausting the amount of uranium available to us. Proliferation would be a concern though.

That said, why would we run the entire world on nuclear, or go for a nuclear-only strategy when we also have solar and wind and geothermal and hydroelectric? For that matter, why should we exclude nuclear from the energy mix available to us?

Different sources of power have different properties with different tradeoffs, but if you can cover your bases with multiple types, why wouldn’t you?

They're already settled for life with the existing business. The feedback they got from the potential buyer is what is missing, the business is too dependent on them and if they're able to remove themselves from the equation more and more it'll be a great lifestyle business where they're set for life.

The other factor is the buyer probably looked around at competitors and noticed there was another business less valued that they could pump the same capital into and outgrow this business.

Yes, a good business model would have been to :

- Invest (a lot of) capital to develop the product, make data more readable, refine the UX etc

- Invest (a lot of) capital to market the service to doctors, offering it for free to them, with the angle of improving their patient outcome

- Invest (a lot of) capital to market the service to patient, offering it for free to them, with the angle of letting them check what their doctors are doing

Once everyone is using it and it becomes the de-facto source :

- Market that to drug companies, asking for (a metric ton of) capital to "better manage your product reputation". Magically, the "better managed drugs" suddenly are shown under a better light than the others.

Profitable ? Yes. Basically extorsion ? Also yes.

This is rather worrying. A game isn't an argument. It's not even evidence! Movies suffer the same problem in that we can couple causes with effects in ways that bear no relationship to reality. Just look at how Hollywood has contributed to deforming how people understand relationships. That's just one domain. It doesn't even need to be intentional, as Chomsky has argued, so no conspiracy is required as long as interests converge. Rather, the corporate-media-education complex is a self-reinforcing system where most of its actors do not even realize they are reinforcing the presuppositions of the system by excluding and punishing that which would threaten the existence of the system, regardless of whether the presuppositions are themselves good or correct. Most people even believe they're doing good (not that malicious actors don't exist, but most people don't give any of these presuppositions any consideration).

Arguments may be bloodless, but they have substance. Theater, interactive or not, is capable of deceiving. Your emotional response is not fact. What you would be presented with in a game about some historical event is a recasting of historical events in terms of our modern sensibilities. Movies do this all the time, this subtle anachronistic and theatrical re-presentation of history. This can be an impediment to understanding, not an aid.

Besides, while recreation has its place, we waste too much time on entertainment. Movies, games, and so on. These are like the cave in Plato's allegory. Instead of leaving the cave, we have doubled down.

I don't think the word "renewable" implies anything about effort involved?
It's kind of interesting how every single time that some kind of fraud damages the system, not only is there no effort to fix or revert back to an undamaged version, but the damage is simply allowed to grow and fester as copy-cat fraudster corporate types latch onto the barrier that was breached.

It's literally every single time. Internet "bubble", housing "bubble", "Affordable Care Act" fraud, and the mountain of other frauds committed before and since; including all the various "recovery act" type of Government fraud where the same class of people who commit the fraud and cause the damage, are then the primary beneficiaries being rewarded with billions, approaching trillions now. And that's without even touching on the murderous fraud of the type like the deliberate fraud of the Iraq war.

Just look at the common complaints today regarding work-life, wages, and even supposed staff shortages (the claims of which themselves are fraudulent); they all are directly linked to things like this guy knocking yet another section of the wall out through Sunday workdays that was then never reverted/rolled-back even after the fraud was revealed. Is Chick-fil-A really just a fluke in how efficient and happy it's employees are in spite of the fact that they shut down on Sundays? I sure don't ever think so.

nobody is making that claim, because it is clear that people make errors. this isn't some wild revelation to engineers that they've all missed.

rather, the claim is that modern reactor designers are safe(r) now _because_ they don't require everything be done right.

> That won't work at all these days, I'm afraid

I'm afraid I don't follow your point. Saying that something "won't work at all these days" means that there are meaningful, and I stress: meaningful, aspects of our life that totally break down in the absence of said thing. An occasional few seconds of awkwardness (which is a totally fine emotion to feel) regarding some celeb drama is, in all honesty, insignificant.
You didn't talk about being fired or being shunned, being discriminated or being laughed at; you presented a very very bland example equivalent to admitting to your colleagues that you didn't notice a new coffee machine was installed.
Maybe you suffer from a mental condition that amplifies these emotions so much that you can't stand that occasional awkwardness, but I don't see how that justifies defending being addicted to the news cycle.

z-index, although I'm not sure if it's a bad thing
It's really weird to see people here arguing about any kind of support for this modern fascism. Guys, whether you like it or not, there's war going. Right now the war is fought in Ukraine -- I no longer have a home to return to, my parents are sheltering in the basement, and while I'm relatively OK I do have friends who were murdered when Russia shelled Kharkiv.

But there's another aspect of this war -- information war. And it's being fought right now everywhere. While you argue against any censorships, Russia bans/jails/fines/kills EVERYTHING that doesn't strictly follow official party guidelines.

1. Russia bans everything that they don't 100% control: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Heck, Meta is now officially an "extremist organization". I'm not even talking about other large media outlets -- all banned, latest example I've heard is German DW.

2. You're in Russia you are not allowed to call this a war, because official position that this is a "special operation". People do get fined for this.

3. They fined a guy with a sign "Фашизм не пройдеш" (== "no to fascism", but literal translation would be "Fascism will not pass"). Courts ruled this to be "discrediting of the Russian Army". People are constantly jailed/fined for "no to war" signs and for their posts on VK (Russian clone of FB). Even high profile people are censoring themselves online. Even high profile people (Yevgeny Roizman) are being investigated for a simple "like" in a social media.

4. There are pro-war rallies. Regular people are beaten up and harassed for "no to war".

5. Whether you like it or not, but Z became Russia's swastika. Main TV channels openly support it and openly discuss plans about turning western world into ashes. Prime time TV openly discusses the war plans and how those shouldn't stop with Ukraine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgcP30dIIqw main propagandist (Solovyev) openly says "with sanctions like those why do we have to stop [at Ukraine]?" and "seven troubles -- one answer -- all world to ashes", which paraphrased means that they have a universal answer to any trouble: nuclear bomb ("all world to ashes"). Or another openly discussed plan how would they conquer Europe: https://www.unian.net/russianworld/u-soloveva-obsuzhdayut-ok... Or another one: https://twitter.com/carlbildt/status/1506315902169534464

7. Putin's rhetoric resemble's Hitler's to an uncanny degree. "National traitors", "solution to the ukrainian question", etc.

8. https://t.me/nexta_live/20770 yep, it's exactly what it looks like.

9. They terrorize anyone with at least a bit of opposition. They threw a severed pig's head in a wig to the doorsteps of Alexey Venediktov apartment (chief editor of "Echo of Moscow" radio station (recently banned, of course)). Oh, and Ukrainian emblem with "Judensau" (== "jewish pig", an anti-semitism thing). This is not a unique thing -- if you want, I'll give you a couple more examples. But the main thing is that perpetrators could not be found.

So please, for your own sake, do not help those propagandists in any way, because they don't play by the same rules as you do.

"1) a collection of arbitrary rules invented by humans, 2) probability distributions over the ability to exchange certain assets at different points in time, 3) a giant optimization program."

"Standards-wash" is such an odd phrase.

How is it treason to support (as in cheer for not support military) a country in a war your country is not fighting? Would it be treason to support Iraq too? The government decides what side to be legal to support?

These laws are very much an unfortunate slippery slope.
In something like TF2, I'd probably rely more on the player's name than what they were wearing. If I recognize the name (even if only in the context of the one match), and know roughly how good they are, I can have my mental preference of who I prioritize.

I usually play Deep Rock Galactic, which has some non-cosmetic ways to judge people's experience. Promotion(like prestige) of a class is indicated by a border color and number of stars, and indicates someone has played a character for promotion25 levels. Bronze stars are okay, silver stars should be decent.

'Blue Levels' are also present. They serve as an indicator of how many times that player has leveled up any* character. So, someone with blue level 100 and only one promotion star should still be considered experienced in terms of game sense, but not necessarily an expert on their character.

Someone with low 'blue levels' and no stars is just a greenbeard, and should not be expected to be great.

The author liked Rocket League, and paid money for it, then disagreed with its direction.

If you gets years of enjoyment out of a game you spent $20 on, I think you've come out ahead in all measures. I think that's the most important thing to not lose sight of. Now, I totally get expressing disagreement over the direction of a game, but at the end of the day it's probably unreasonable to expect to enjoy the experience of a particular game (or any single thing, really) forever. Games change, gamers change.
Ah, now I get the confusion. Yeah, most of interpreters probably wouldn't have made the in-memory distinction between small ints and doubles. So the conversion would have to happen back and forth every time a bitwise operator would be applied.

Nowadays the semantics if what happens are still the same, but things happen a bit more optimized by usually avoiding the round-trip to double when not necessary.
You realize this has been going on for at least a century, right? At one point we literally confiscated all of the gold by order of government. Whether the overton window is shifting or not, this stuff has been going on since time immemorial.
I think the takeaway from the blog post is wrong and comments focusing on building a faster MVP miss the point.

Not everything is a startup. This is a research project - and should be approached that way. There should be donors, a foundation, free access to all participants, reputation-building by writing (& publishing in reputable journals / conferences) studies about its efficacy, a board of doctors actually reviewing & cross-checking recommendations, a doctor-to-doctor helpline, etc.

As the author found out - it's not something people want to buy, but the public. So I think if you approach it from that direction - it might just work.
Email and default-deny for unknown addresses solves this problem entirely. No reason other protocols couldn't do the same. It's only a problem if you need to host content by any rando, then try to show it to as many people as possible to drive "engagement".

I'm not sure what you mean, but Bernie didn't win the primary. That decides the horse that the DNC backs (except in incumbent years).

> To be specific it was misinformation to say it was a lab leak, now it’s generally accepted.

It's not generally accepted except in counter-culture circles. There isn't any more evidence for a lab leak hypothesis today than there was two years ago. The actual cause is not known, so claiming a specific theory with certainty would indeed be misinformation.
You don't have to build anything to make uranium radiate.

That's a pointless argument and unrelated to "renewable", which means it won't get used up.
It's still true, for the internet at least; the problem is that the other layers we've since built on top of the internet (large, centralized web services) do not share that virtue.

Tl;dr: Recognizing that I prefer 1:1 conversations as opposed to big groups helped me a ton.

First of all, figure out what's "good for you" versus what's a societal expectation that you can skip. For instance, when I was younger, I didn't like going clubbing or taking dates to loud bars with groups of people, because that's...not me. Solution: go for coffee/lunch dates instead. Easy.

For things that are "good for you" but not comfortable, find ways to make them easier based on your known preferences. As an example, I decided that I wanted to go to some networking events. While there, I tried to talk to other people who were there by themselves; it was easier for me to strike up at 1:1 conversation than to try to join a big group. I also found that if I went to networking events alone, not with a friend, it was easier to meet people.

Your preferences may be different, but play to your strengths or the things you already know you can do, and build from there.
Is the full lifecycle of the power plant less, equal, or more risky than alternative forms of power generation? Oil or natural gas require funding terrible regimes, hydro has environmental impacts and is close to being tapped out, and coal emits tons of pollution and radioactivity. It's not enough to say "this is bad", you have to look at what you're going to replace it with.
Can you share some examples, please?
It's the same calculus, it's just the kids need to figure into it once you have them.

I made a number of choices differently once I had kids. I folded up a startup and took steady employment at a company with good work/life balance. I bought a house in a good school district rather than renting and taking the risk that rising rents would force them away from their grandparents. I make a choice to drop the work at 4:30 so I can go walk to pick the older one up from pre-school rather than get an extra 20 minutes of work in.

But all of these are still choices - they're weighing the things important to me and deciding that I'm going to allocate my labor and capital in different ways. Once you start getting into the economics of pricelessness, when you must do this for your kids or you're a bad parent, bad things often happen. You lose the ability to make rational trade-offs, and your kids often sense that and never learn the ability to make rational trade-offs.
The theme of the article is not that you should be less productive, it's that stepping back and slowing down can make you more productive. For example you could have saved yourself some offense if you had taken the time to consider the author's point before reacting.

You don't need full scale power plants to produce weapons grade material.

The reasons for anti-proliferation targeting of power plants is countries that want to hide their weapons programs in commercial power plants.

Japan isn't Iran, the thing to fear from Japan arming is the short-term response from China, et al. and other less allied countries wanting to follow suit. Long term, a nuclear Japan might be a good thing for regional stability.

It is very possible that Japan already has nuclear weapons or production is simply a matter of assembly.

They have thousands of pounds of weapons grade or very-easy-to-change-into-weapons-grade nuclear materials, enough for thousands of bombs. Additional power infrastructure would have no effect on their readiness to become armed.
