I've seen the paper, and I don't understand its reasoning. Maybe that's my lack of domain knowledge; but Jesse Bloom is impeccably credentialed and he seems to disagree too.

I believe it's possible that:

1. The mutations that separate Lineages A and B occurred in non-human animals, and were introduced to humans in two zoonotic jumps. This is Pekar's argument.

2. Or, the mutations that separate Lineages A and B occurred in humans during cryptic spread, at the market or elsewhere.

If the two lineages were separated by a large number of mutations, then option (2) would be very unlikely--the virus couldn't spread in humans for long enough to accumulate that many SNPs without exploding into a large enough cluster with enough sickness and mortality that emergence would have been discovered earlier (and we'd have found evidence of that spread retrospectively in sero-surveillance of stored samples, etc.).

But it's just two SNPs--as Jesse Bloom notes, 5-10% of single human-to-human transmissions show at least that much difference, as will many two-transmission chains for which the intermediate never got sampled (or longer chains for which many intermediates never got sampled; the over-dispersed "superspreader" nature of SARS-CoV-2's transmission means almost all chains die out, while a few explode). So what excludes (2)?

ETA: I've never found anyone able to explain in their own words why "two lineages" definitely implies two zoonoses despite the tiny genetic distance between them. I strongly suspect that most people making that claim are simply repeating it, and aren't able to understand the paper, and that the reason none of us can understand is that it's nonsense. If anyone believes otherwise then I'd love to hear, though.
ok - replying to myself - defining a function to overlay the normal pass command can work around it like this:

function pass() {
defaults write org.p0deje.Maccy ignoreEvents true ;
sleep 1;
/opt/local/bin/pass -c "$@" ;
echo "Copied password to clipboard for $*";
sleep 1;
defaults write org.p0deje.Maccy ignoreEvents false;
}

I think this might work ok!

Sure they talk later in this article about chosen vs unchosen suffering, but at this point using a word like "suffering" to describe the sensation of having your muscles burn from exertion seems like a good argument for a new word or that their use of the word suffering is a poor choice.

I think of Eddie Izzards routine on the word "awesome" is apropo, if a hot dog is awesome, awesome doesn't mean anything. To paraphrase their bit "Setting foot on the moon was awesome! Oh yea? Awesome like a hotdog?"

A life without pain isn't a life that exists, but many people I've met have made it into their 40s and later with no appreciable "suffering", and frankly, while it might make them less capable of sympathy and empathy they are often personally better off, stronger, healthier, more capable, less fragile, etc. for having not suffered.

Look at any co-hort of children, those who suffer early and often have worse life outcomes. The pain of muscle fatigue or even the bruise from getting punched in the face during a boxing match don't seem serious enough in most circumstances to warrant the moniker of suffering.
Mostly I agree, but "just accept the government's decisions" can only be expected to go so far. "I disagree with a legal decision" is not the same as "my right is being taken away", or, "I am being harmed", and the line is highly subjective for each person. On certain topics, the conflict is inevitable.

I think it’s working exactly as intended.

You are comparing to recent conflicts. If you look at bit further back - during the vietnam war the US lost cose to 10,000 aircraft (helicopters, planes, everything) combined. That's about at many military aircraft as exists in the world today.
Thanks for responding. We've been honest about the situation, but I think people will feel blindsided because due to our own mistakes we mis-calculated our expected runway by a disastrous amount. I only found this out a day ago, at my position.

You're right that my own issues are secondary, my family will support me there. My duty is to those who are being laid off, and then to those who are staying but losing their close coworkers.

"Gets the shaft" implies harsh or unfair treatment. It was startup guy's idea to sell the company, and startup guy's lack of abilities which led them to the mess in the first place. It seems like startup guy is getting exactly what he deserved?
That is a substantial value, to be sure.

But I also look at it the other way: COVID was perhaps the smallest scale event that could produce fundamental change in the way we (as in, humans) approach biodefense and disease control.

If we needed a wakeup call, better to have it now than ~2100, when we're estimated to reach peak population + continued concentration in cities.
I’d agree with you only if it was law that hospitals must turn you away if you are unvaccinated but deathly ill with COVID. That would be a horrible thing, however the difference here is that not being vaccinated does affect other people in a pandemic. Getting an abortion does not overload hospitals in the same way.

The one thing of value that crypto actually delivers (and which will never be replicated in tradfi because of incentives of existing players) is atomic multi-party transactions across unrelated parties. Something like a flash loan would never exist in tradfi. Being able to borrow billions with _no_ risk of loss due to execution delays between borrowing money and executing a trade means more liquidity and lower risk for market makers which translates to a better experience for everyone else.

It's too bad it's attached to scams and grifters.
Non-profit space is almost always dominated by healthcare. Charity and charities are bit players.
It is a good analogy, because they're both cases in which someone would be forced by the state to risk injury or death and undergo a medical procedure. You might think there are good reasons to require people to do so in one case, but that doesn't mean the analogy is bad.
A side note that I found particularly interesting

> On March 22, the Reynolds account logged out of Google and less than a second later, the Wiland account logged in, suggesting the same person was behind both accounts.

I've always wondered how often timing analysis is used in practice by surveillence big tech. I suspect that as people become more privacy aware, and start using VPNs, pseudonames, multiple accounts, etc, that big tech will start using timing analysis more and more to correlate traffic and identify users. Like if your friend sends you a Reddit link on WhatsApp, and you immediately open it in your browser, that Reddit session is now linked to you.

Another more complex example: let's say Google has already identified your Reddit account. You open a Reddit discussion, and deep in the discussion it links to a Youtube video, and you open it in your browser. Now even if you weren't logged into Youtube, Google could guess that it's you based on the timing of when your Reddit account opened the discussion, and when the linked Youtube video was accessed. And not just that video, but now every Youtube video watched in the same browsing session, is now linked back to you (assuming you have first-party cookies enabled, which is basically required if you ever want to log into anything).

Seems a bit paranoid, but I actually suspect this happened to me a few months ago. I was using a FOSS reddit client and clicked a youtube link buried deep in a reddit thread, and opened it in Newpipe (a FOSS youtube client). I wasn't logged in, and was using a VPN, and yet the next day on my Youtube feed I started getting recommendations based on that video (and those recommendations were very different from my usual ones). Scary stuff.

In most cases that's true, but not all. ARM MTE + quarantine has just 1-2% overhead as tested on Chrome:

Military still use them
I’m taking about working between chains, not staying on a chain or other cryptos built on the same chain. Someone is building a decentralized exchange, the interaction or adding the next new crypto currency to that exchange and choosing how it is setting the price of the exchange or possibly relaying on other centralized exchanges - typically to set the exchange rate you would rely on the bid ask spread, but if it doesn’t look at other exchanges someone can just buy from one exchange where it’s cheaper and sell on the other. Have you seen office space? The movie where they make the program steel fractions of a penny in each transaction? This is doable in the setting of the prices and fees and the way rewards are set for liquidity, benefiting the person who created them - so who knows how these places work, no one except programmers, and maybe they gain trust over time from others that never had a problem with them before. But when something does goes wrong, who will foot the bill and be held accountable. That’s why centralized exchanges are a must because if something goes wrong you call the police.
This experiment is close to extreme danger of strange matter creation, which in some models could be chain reaction,so whole Earth could transform to strange matter in case of close contact.
Thanks for responding. I really want to do this, but I worry it is unfair to people in other departments who do not get the sneaky down-low info. Really the company itself has to be honest without delay, since that will achieve the same thing but equally for everyone; and I feel like that is what I will push for.
> I've always wondered how often timing analysis is used in practice by surveillence big tech

Books written about the NSA, GCHQ, CSE etc talk about them using things like timestamp logs/traffic analysis/time of day analyzing commercial and government telecom links going back to the 1960s, so in the modern era even if your crypto is absolutely unbreakable, there's a huge amount of analysis and correlation that can be done based on timing analysis.

Then you combine your timing analysis with things like correlating geolocation of blocks of IP addresses, netflow and traffic analysis, metadata obtained from other adjacent/nearby users on same ISPs at either end, a whole fire hose of other data that's still useful even if the crypto is solid.

> let's say Google has already identified your Reddit account. You open a Reddit discussion, and deep in the discussion it links to a Youtube video, and you open it in your browser. Now even if you weren't logged into Youtube, Google could guess that it's you based on the timing

Not just timing but also cookies, client device/browser fingerprinting, IP address/what ISP you're on, and the usage patterns and logged in activity (and app-collected telemetry data on android and ios devices) of all the other persons in your household and neighbors.
You seem to be lacking some understanding of how IVF works.

10 to 20 eggs are extracted, and then an attempt is made to fertilize them with sperm. 70 to 80 percent of those are successfully fertilized. That's (low) 7 to (high) 16 fertilized eggs. Perhaps 2 to 4 are implanted.

When would you say a child is "conceived"? When the egg is fertilized? When the egg is fertilized but only inside a woman's uterus? After the fertilized egg implants, perhaps?

I don't see how you can say that IVF isn't "murder" of all the fertilized eggs that aren't implanted - unless you try to say that suspending the process by freezing them is okay? - but if it's not "when fertilized" that you claim that "a child is conceived" then we start talking about the actual issue: potential and actual.

An egg has the potential to become a human, if fertilized. It isn't one.
A fertilized egg has the potential to become a human, if it implants correctly. It still isn't one.
An implanted egg that's divided 100 times, and is now 200 cells, has the potential to become a human, if it's fed and nurtured. It isn't one.

"Viability outside the womb" was picked for a reason, but even that permits other people to play the game of "force a woman to provide her body to continue to be used to feed and develop the viable-outside-the-womb baby" or "cut the woman open to remove the viable-outside-the-womb baby" if she doesn't want to continue to feed and develop it.

There's certainly a difference between "legal" and "moral"; a woman who knows she doesn't want to have a child and fails to act to prevent that "potential" from turning into "viable" must still have a legal right to terminate that pregnancy/viable human, but her actions are morally indefensible. By the same token, removing an implanted grouping of 200 cells can't be seen as anything other than cutting off the potential, and doing so as soon as one is aware of the potential and knows that one lacks the desire to end up with a baby is laudable.
Oh I’m sorry did the protestors at Amy Barret’s house break in and smear feces on the walls? No, they just peacefully assembled? Yeah that isn’t an insurrection by any means.

People loudly protest all the time, that isn’t the same thing as “domestic terrorism” even if some property gets damaged or relatively few people get hurt. By that definition the civil rights movement would have been domestic terrorism. You know what is domestic terrorism? Firebombing abortion clinics and murdering doctors like some “Christian” right members have done.

Frankly the people who stormed the Capital are a sideshow. The real coup was directed from the highest seats of government to prevent the peaceful transition of power, and the mob was merely a minor part of the plan.
The real action was in getting Pence out and selecting alternate electors illegally sent.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm in the process of figuring out what I want to research. I'm still in the phase where all the areas of CS seem interesting, although some more than others.

AI is the most interesting and mathematical thus far, but I think the most employable field (and one in which age is an advantage) might be security. I'd also really like to take at least a course or two in compilers... and probably one or two in graphics/CV just because I don't know anything about it.
Tesla relaunches $6k Enhanced Autopilot, gutting Full Self-Driving package
If Apple cared more about privacy, they could address this with a category of enforced local-only apps. A local-only app would not be able to access the network or interact with other apps. It’s data could be backed up and synced via iCloud but not by any other means.

Side channels aside, this would avoid data leaks.
Thomas calls for cases to challenge the right to gay marriage and other cases based on the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses.

I'll note that Thomas, a black man married to a white woman does not call for a challenge to the right to interracial marriage based on the exact same clauses see

The hypocrisy is palpable.
Often managers want to hold onto the very staff who are most likely to voluntarily quit. Simple reason being that the more competent, and sometimes underpaid for their level of skill, staff only need a nudge to job-hop. Whilst the laggards are more likely to want to stick around.

Of course, in the current climate with so much bad news, the optimism about finding a new job might be curtailed.
This will lead to most of the best to voluntarily resign, since they'll be the very first be employed elsewhere and don't like financial uncertainty. Worse, you may have too many reduntant roles (which are less required) while lacking in another role.

Announcement is good, honesty is good, punishment for higher ups is absolutely required (and announced), future plans need to be announced on how to save the company financially and ensure those who stay won't have a problem in a near future.
The answer is yes many young people have never lived as adults during a time when you saved money by putting it into instruments like CDs.
Oh please. Any project that isn't under your direct control will at some point "rug pull", because they will make a decision that's different from what you'd have preferred.

Major controversies that come to mind around Linux pretty much immediately are systemd, Wayland, the sound server wars. I also vaguely recall major back and forth around memory management. That's normal and expected. That's why you make "buy vs build" decisions, and any third party package is susceptible to that.

And "many individuals involved" means absolutely nothing - do you honestly believe that somehow this editor is a lone work of genius? Or that companies somehow have a coherent vision for every single detail? Have you ever worked in a large company?
Sounds like a manual about how you fix a minor leak that would pint directly to you, with a big leak that dissociates you from the problem and divert the hounds to chase a random tool. Creating a reasonable doubt that would serve well in case of legal troubles.

It seems that exactly the same happens here and there each a few years.

If they even were encouraging people to try possible passwords, well... nobody is so dumb. My bet would be that the USB has been hidden in a safe place for some hours but knowing all the time where was.
The USB key was used to transfer the data from a government office to a service firm reviewing Covid19 related benefit claims and fund distribution. The employee mistake was to not delete data from USB key after transferring to the firm's system.
With FTX and now Goldman buying up assets from dying crypto companies, it looks like a bigger crypto crash will now start to hit the rest of the financial markets.

I've been trying out Nix lately and did something similar to get a croc binary. My system package manager didn't have croc and also didn't have the Go version required to compile croc, but Nix did have the latest Go.

Ran this:

nix-shell -p go --run "go install github.com/schollz/croc/v9@latest"

and got it compiled. In retrospect, I should have just used the croc package in Nix, but the simplicity of this approach is a vast improvement over the alternative of getting Go myself and cluttering up my system with random build tools for one-off compilations.
Here's what will happen. He will lose the $7M civil suit. He will have a judgement of $7M that Bungie is free to collect on such as wage garnishments if his home state allows it or repossessing any assets the state doesn't protect (many states block repossession of your primary household). At this point his option is Bankruptcy.

Depending on his total assets, a judge will either allow Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Chapter 13 happens when you negotiate with your creditors based on your income. In Chapter 7, you discharge the entirety of the debt. If he does not file Bankruptcy, then Bungie can reinstate the judgement every 10 years (time depends on the state) and continue collecting until his death.

After Bankruptcy, the debt will follow him for 7 years (possibly more as unscrupulous debt buyers will give him a taste of his own medicine filing invalid, but hard to prove, claims on his credit report). The size of the debt may make seeking employment difficult. Having a judgement of any size will limit his ability to rent houses or getting any sort of credit. And good luck getting any kind of government clearance. This is the real debtor's prison which will regulate him to living under sleazy landlords likely in questionable locations, getting loans with insanely high APRs, and having to use his own money to generate credit (secured credit cards). Even though judgements last for 7 years, after bankruptcy you are usually out of this prison in 3-4 years. FWIW, many loan officers may look at that judgement as a clerical error (someone pressed 0 too many times) but once they ask for clarity all bets are off. But I've heard many stories of people climbing into a $50K car loan a year after bankruptcy so his mileage may vary

EDIT: Bungie and this gentleman could settle out of court with no judgement as well. The filed civil suit will still be a public record but that is much lower weight on one's credit score. The out of court settlement could stipulate no more bungie content being uploaded or posted on the internet for a period of time. There are many different directions, what I outlined is if this person does not respond or otherwise loses the civil suit
This is similar to a board I am on. Good orientation. Well-defined roles. Plus good meetings and enough self evaluation that we know what we need to work on.

As the org has grown we have had less need for nitty-gritty skills and more need for high level thinking and directional strategies.

There are certainly plenty of dumpster fires in the non profit world, but I doubt it is that much different from the business world.
No nation is ruled by law, they're all ruled by people. Certain people on the supreme court decided to take a right away that's been in place for 50 years. Due to the current dynamics of the political system, they could have handed down the decision with just "because we say so" and it wouldn't have changed a thing. Legal argument was always a back seat to the end goal.
are you thinking of Dell?
Question: Who owns the deposited assets? Don't the original owners have dibs? Or can Goldman just pull the rug and say "ours now". That would seem crazy.
I think from a purely moralistic perspective this is unkind. Perhaps they are getting exactly what they signed up for. But how many naive purely technical people have been short changed by similar antics in the past
