So when people were insisting the WIV was the source for all this time due to the type of work they were doing there, they really meant that the CCDC was the source even though the CCDC was doing entirely different (and lower level work)? You get why that's not very convincing and reeks of "god of the gaps" style arguments, right?

In my view, the question should be whether it's more or less safe than humans driving. If use of automated driving results in less death than humans driving, considered at the broadest possible scale, then that strikes me as an excellent outcome. Instead, each and every death under autopilot results in all the hens clucking as though it's proof the technology has failed. That's ridiculous.
> paying their employees less

If they could profitably pay employees less, why wouldn’t they just do that and not wait for a judgment?

> increase prices to consumers

Same: If they could just do that any time, why wouldn’t they, if it would result in more profit? Why wait for a big expense like a judgment?

A good point. Another factor reducing the "coincidence" of a (probable) bat-originated coronavirus pandemic starting in a city with a lab studying bat coronaviruses is that labs studying viruses of type X tend to be located in areas where viruses of type X are found.

To take ejb999's example of radioactive water being found near a nuclear power plant, is it more likely that the radioactive water was found because there is increased monitoring of radiation near nuclear power plants?

It is important not to make emotional leaps to conclusions. Apparent correlations deserve study, but they are not proofs.
That kind of stuff really doesn't bother me. I rarely pay attention to anything like that anyways. Also, it is not uncommon, at least for theatrically released features, to have differences between territories not dissimilar to that kind of background object replaced/modified. Small details like that which have no bearing on the plot or affect the viewers take of the content will be changed. These edits help the producers track down which area a leak occurred.
Interested to know how it changed your life?

My wife and I have been watching a show on Netflix called "How to Change your Mind" and have been contemplating trying either LSD, shrooms or ayahuasca (we're not really druggies, we're just really interested in living more connected and meaningful lives and it seems those substances really help in initiating the process).
Yup, got some of this in the USA too.
Its weird to have an article about the dangers of editing that doesn't clearly identify what the dangerous edit was. Seems like the hand wringing was about a scene the article-author incorrectly said was edited, so the article updated, but now the article is an empty shell of criticism without substance.
The elite is associated with accuracy, cleanliness of execution, precision, correctness, an ability to be flexible and expressive while maintaining refined control and precision.

Take olympic athletes or orchestral musicians for instance.

If say a violinist said they only used a particular violin because it was that which was correct and expressive, that's much closer to elitist than say egalitarianism.
Did you know J.R.R. Tolkien rewrote the Gollum scenes in the Hobbit in a newer edition to better fit his new book series, The Lord of the Rings?

I'd say a little more nuance is needed than automatically dismissing any change as bad.
Does it though? What, exactly, is _dangerous_ about it?

Seems like its just something new, no need make such a fuss. Does every headline really need to be so apocalyptic.

From the article, here's the edit: It's a simple mistake of an expansive series costing $30 million an episode, really: the creative team set an episode of Stranger Things 4 on March 22, forgetting that it had been established as Will Byers' (Noah Schnapp) birthday in the earlier season.

So can someone explain to me why this is a plot hole? If the episode took place on March 22nd, Will Byers' birthday, we would expect... a birthday party?

I guess I didn't say all of it - yes, if it is a possibility, we should take it seriously. I think they are all possible, we should take them all seriously.

I don't think there is any way to get to a scientific certainty either positively or negatively about any of the origin theories; thus we should take precautions about all of them.

> But maybe additional confirmation that this pathway really works will help spur research into a way to replicate the same effect, without requiring the full bone marrow transplant process?

Doubtful. It's been known for a long time that the CCR5-delta 32 mutation conveys HIV resistance because it results in a different CCR5 coreceptor which HIV uses to enter white blood cells (this is the whole reason the bone marrow donor was selected in the first place).

Thus, the bone marrow transplant process works because now ALL of this patient's cells have that different, resistant CCR5 coreceptor. Hard to imagine a way to replicate this process without some method that results in all new white blood cells being generated like this.
Fair enough, but approaching the problem rationally, is that really how we should measure success? Are you satisfied with a solution that results in objectively more death just because you claim to have some part in creating it? That strikes me as ridiculous, and the outcome is that we're holding autonomous driving to an impossible standard.
People seem to be mistaking the author's claim that this phrase is useful with a claim that it is moral. The phrase makes it clear that something is not open for debate - which saves everyone from wasting time and losing face by having an argument. That's useful. Even if I disagree with a workplace norm, even if it makes me mad, I would rather know that people are not going to be open to discussing it. If you disagree with the workplace norm, your options are now very clear: get over it, leave, or, depending on what the norm is and where you are, file a lawsuit.

I wound up writing my own stow replacement in Ruby, that moved the files rather than symlinked them. It does pattern-match the filenames with a list, anything on the list gets symlinked. It can also copy home-rolled binaries into /usr/local/bin. I suppose I could use both stow and etckeeper but a simple script can keep everything synced to my precise liking.

Hold on, since when is preserving "your effectiveness" in a debate something that anyone cares about in the real world? You should just say, "I find that word offensive" or "please call me X instead." A polite person won't keep pushing or debate you after that. It makes it clear that you are asking them to do something to make you feel comfortable.

Also, "we don't do that here" doesn't mean "not right now" it means "never, or we won't let you into the club." The phrasing of the sentence implicitly diffuses responsibility among the entire group, and marks the other person in the conversation as an outsider.

I'm not you, but I wouldn't want to say that to an employee. I want them to feel comfortable, too.
This is especially true in jurisdictions where private prisons operate. Very (too) often the people who own the prisons and profit off of them have close ties to people of authority and power in local government. If you are skeptical, consider: otherwise the prison contract would have gone to someone else with closer ties or more leverage.

Corruption is rampant in the "developed" world but we just use different words for it.

It's not like Stranger Things is a courtroom record or SEC filing. Who cares if they want to retcon a made-up story? I think in the digital age, it should be trivial to keep records of what's changed and let people access the no-longer-canon versions if they are hardcore fans, but let the 99% of casuals just see what you want them to see. Honestly, it could make for some really interesting non-linear storytelling.

While these articles are certainly framed and headlined to make people think there's a boycott movement, neither the first nor third article actually report on anyone in particular who's called for a boycott. The Newsweek article suggests why, with its most prominent sources for a boycott including some random indie musician and "user smilingoutloud2". I should have caveated that there's always noise on Twitter calling for silly things, but I don't see much reason to believe that there was ever a real boycott movement or that Disney was motivated by fear there could be.

But the process was enough to bring sureness. You seem to have a problem with the process being non-traditional, but it was the obvious adaptation to get the same sureness on the shortest possible timeframe.

The data wasn't limited in any way.

It's funny, because I have the opposite criticism. We just let people die for 6 months because we refused to act on "we are sure it's safe, we are confident it will work" and waited to have complete certainty on both of those. If we just scaled the tests further and start paying the labs before we were completely sure the vaccines work (we just really, really expected them to). We could have tested them in less than a month, and vaccinated most of the more vulnerable people in less time than that.

But if we did that, we would be open to the possibility of one of the vaccines not working. We would need a lot of transparency to deal with that, and it looks like the population can't deal with quantified certainty in any way, just with the binary version of it.

OP must be interpreting the above statement which implies that this hacker is either with family or basically doing work related stuff, nothing else
I fully disagree with your sentiment. Yes there are outright bigoted jokes, but I believe many people have a different line in the sand of where appropriate and inappropriate are. There are many jokes that one workplace may deem 100% harmless and another might cause offense. My general assumption is that the person didn't mean to be bigoted, they just didn't understand where the line was.

This of course is not speaking of outright racism, but an example might be wearing a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo. Some workplaces would find this perfectly acceptable, whereas others might deem this racially insensitive and rude. It's not outright bigoted, (in my opinion), and not meant to cause harm, but the workplace culture is the what determines if it is acceptable or not.

If you have a 5-person company and you hire 10 more people, should the social rules decided by the first 5 be dictated to the other 10?

I think the medium is the main difference. An old movie you have on tape or whatever physical media and would need to go buy an additional copy of a new version of it. Whereas something primarily on streaming can change on you without notice and you cannot go back and watch the original.

Plus in the case of Lucas it was in a new "Special Edition" which contained other edits too. It was never passed off as the original version, and part of the selling point was the edits. Rather than an update in place without any notice.

That's not how it works in practice, though. Right-wing sources are known to simply make stuff up to fit their worldview.

Your example is problematic, because the left is willing to hold its leaders accountable and the right simply isn't. If Bernie is discovered to have ever harassed a woman, he'd have to resign in disgrace.

With that background, you have to start with the assumption that the right wing site is making things up and find a reliable source that isn't itself sourcing only from the right wing media universe, as the mainstream media is sometimes known to do.
> What's happening in these transplants, in cancer patients who also have HIV, is that the patient's original bone marrow (having become cancerous) is killed off and completely replaced, taking the HIV with it.

That's not accurate. If that were the case, then ANY bone marrow transplant could potentially cure an HIV patient. What's happening is that bone marrow is what generates white blood cells, and the donor in this case was naturally resistant to HIV due to the CCR5 delta 32 mutation. This results in white blood cells that HIV can no longer easily enter.

So what's happening is ALL of the patient's white blood cells are being replaced (rather, generated by this new donor marrow) with ones that are resistant to HIV.

It seems to me the point is that an automated driver is never distracted and never drunk. The automated systems should get credit for that. That is, they should not necessarily be compared to a skilled, attentive, unimpaired driver. That is, as you admit, not the current state of affairs. Relative to the status quo, automated driving is becoming much safer.

No, I didn't make up a restriction. You misunderstood. "All you can eat" offers usually contain an explicit time frame, for the obvious reason that they don't want customers to enter in the morning and re-enter in the evening. That's why I wrote "usually". If they don't, then that's their mistake and they have to literally offer all the customer can eat.

The same for hosting. If you make your offer unlimited and don't make any exceptions explicit, then your offer is unlimited. The least thing you have to do is to add a little * and list the exceptions in every advertisement. Otherwise it's deceptive advertising and bait-and-switch fraud. It's really very simple.
