TIL about eggcorns.

a word or phrase that results from a mishearing or misinterpretation of another, an element of the original being substituted for one that sounds very similar or identical (e.g. tow the line instead of toe the line ).

I have a version of this all the time when writing but it doesn't match that definition. For me, it's more like my writing is transcribing an internal auditory dialogue and my inner voice might be saying 'their' but my transcriber will write 'there'. So, it's not that I don't know what's right ( or write ) but that it comes out wrong without active rereading.

Does anyone else have this?

I agree. I know many riders who say they only started wearing gear because they had kids, so this would align with a bell curve as they decide not to anymore once their kids are grown/independent.

I'm 30 with no plans for kids, and have always worn all my gear since the beginning. What some people don't realize is if you don't wear gear and you get hit even completely accidentally or its the riders fault, your chances of dying and causing emotional damage to not only those you love, but the other party in the accident are just not worth it. I.E. giving another driver PTSD for the rest of their life because they feel like they killed someone even in the situation it wasn't their fault.
The issue raised is not about video codecs, but about browsers. Apple is using their market position to artificially prevent Safari from being competed against by other vendors—that is classic antitrust behavior.

For comparison, imagine Microsoft banned all browser engines other than EdgeHTML from running on Windows. Would you find that acceptable?
I’d much rather be in Seattle than Ukraine.

Somebody I know took a walk outside last night in Seattle area and reported back to me that they felt something off in the air they breathed, said it kind of burned, but it might have been their imagination. The AQI was nearly 300 yesterday.

> So their AWS bill is $500k/year.

> Hire one person to buy, configure, manage hardware is what? $250k/year? And is this self-hosting more reliable than AWS?

A company which has a total AWS bill of $500k/yr is a very small one (the article says 500K is just the RDS/ES bill, so total is surely much higher for them).

Our (tiny startup) AWS bill is ~200K/yr and the amount of compute and storage we do could very easily be handled by one single physical server.

Now, sure, if we went to self-hosted we'd split that into multiple servers for redundancy and growth headroom, but in any case definitely less than a dozen boxes.

You don't hire anyone to install and manage the hardware at that scale. Someone from the ops team goes to the colo for a day or two to set it all up and then you only need to go back when something needs replacement, which at that small scale is going to be very rarely.

That's exactly what we did at a previous startup and the company grew to many, many hundreds of people before there was so much infrastructure that it became worth thinking about hiring a dedicated person. By that time you'd be in the 10s of millions in AWS spend.

I’d love your feedback, thoughts, comments, etc.
I understand it is the most efficient (unless h265, which is patented, is better).

My point about YouTube is it gives Google power. They can say “we’re doing this with billions of hours of video” and people must follow. They can demand chips that encode faster. Or decode faster. Or say “No YouTube app on your custom gizmo device without VP1 support.”

They have the power to force changes in the market the way a startup or even Microsoft don’t. Those two would have to convince people the change is worth it to everyone. Google just does it, and others follow because it’s now there.

I’m basically arguing Google abused their position as opposed to Apple.
The lab in question was doing gain of function research.

The existence of gain of function research shows that you are wrong.

well done, very cool and am looking forward to Dark Mode!
The actual root causes are economic but there's a psychological feedback loop at play as well. I lived in Germany for a few years and got culture shocked when I attended a 40th birthday and realised that I was the only parent in attendance. When society gets itself into a situation where not having kids is that normalised, it gets fairly easy to validate the choice not to have one.
Hey, I didn't say to use margin!
I’m not sure I agree with your first paragraph, but the second…. That’s pretty good.

If you’ve already extracted (milked) a billion dollars or more from the business, why do you care if you wake up one morning and your business is the next MySpace? That’s the employee’s problem, not yours. Sell the business to someone who hasn’t yet realized it has turned into MySpace, and move on to the next idea you’ve got. Or retire. Whatever you want.
It's interesting to see comments like this gain traction in reference to anti-depressants, but get heavily criticized when they are pointed at ADHD meds.
>Thirdly, this paper emphasizes the strong impact of the COVID pandemic and asserts that understanding the origins of the virus would necessarily aid in preventing future pandemics. This does not clearly follow. Especially if the virus had natural selection origins there is no clear and obvious way of systematically reducing risk. Simply living or traveling where host populations like bats live could be enough to generate exposures and it is not simple to clear people off of rural habitations.

Exterminating all the bats is an option. It would be our first purposeful extinction and would no doubt cause many problems. We need to at least weigh up the possibility. Then we can run the risk benefit analysis.

BLE 5.2 has a range of up to 240m. It'll depend on antenna design and ambient conditions but 100m should be easy.
Right - it should never really be suspicious for a research paper to include text rationalizing why it's a good idea to invest in researching that topic. That's just basic self advocacy.
This is an article about video codecs. I interpreted the above comments as complaining Safari was a problem for not supporting this video codec.

So my comment was about their video codec policy.
Unfortunately I found strict mode not very usable, because it only allows the six basic datatype names and doesn’t do column affinity determination <https://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html#determination_of_colum...>. This thwarts one of the more practical forms of strictness in querying libraries, automatic column type mapping (e.g. mapping DATE (which has NUMERIC affinity) to your language’s date type, or conceivably some other convention like mapping TEXT_Foo to your own Foo type). I’m perplexed as to the rationale for this restriction which feels just gratuitous and unnecessary.
When I say features I mean actual HTML standards, not just random features browser vendors decide to implement.
So you are saying there are no advantages to a closed platform, no place in the world for it and it shouldn't be allowed by the government to exist.

Because it's not like there are no alternatives.

If there was no Android, I'd say yeah, regulate away.
"Dog bites man" is not a story because it's just a thing that happens. "Man bites dog" is a story because it is surprising and not normal.
To my mind, there are a few reasons:

1) It makes the pandemic deterministic (bad lab security means an outbreak) instead of stochastic (wildlife spillover). That is, to be frank, even as an epidemiologist who is very skeptical of the lab leak hypothesis, a comforting thought.

2) It's a popular topic in the Substack/Medium set, because it moves the pandemic back into their wheelhouse of expertise, international relations, policy, etc. It becomes a human problem with human solutions.

3) It appeals to the contrarian mindset.

4) All of the lab leak papers at least attempt to show definitive proof. In contrast, actually finding the source of spillover events is the work of decades (and isn't always or even often successful). "Science is slow and uncertain" is a less compelling narrative.
I'd be willing to bet every manager in the company believes all their employees are in the top 60-70% in terms of performance and every employee believes similar.
They have finished porting everything. And it was done chunk-by-chunk, but in C++ instead of assembly.
Honestly, I think part of it is a wider failure of people not engaging in stochastic thinking.
I'm not sure what you're implying or maybe what you are thinking I implied. Maybe you think I have veered off topic for the forum, despite the topical article under discussion?
Wonder what bubble you're in, I've been seeing a Facebook attack article easily 3-4 times a month for the last three years. I want to see Bytedance's CEO in front of Congress.

Whereas anti TikTok is a recent (and much needed) development. That app is fast tracking through every single pitfall Facebook hit, starting with making users' attention spans less than five seconds, filtering out content based on beauty, giving schoolchildren tics, and all the trust and safety issues.

Higher obviously, but less than 20% in lost zip codes on train lines which is the relevant thing here. Staten Island is like 84% but there’s basically no transit there, and outer Queens is similar. Deep South Brooklyn also has higher car ownership. The Brooklyn neighborhood I live in looks more like Manhattan in terms of car ownership.

If you want a cheap flute you can easily find one for under $200, or cheaper used. With nice instruments, this is a lot like looking at high end furniture and saying, "I could make a table so much more cheaply."

Apple might have made a deal with one or more major h.265 patent holders that discourages them from fully supporting av-1, similar to how Google pays apple nine digits a year to keep Google search default in the Apple ecosystem.

It occurs to me that the evolving meaning of the term "hack" has tracked this generational change, going from zen mastery of the arcane arts, to underground destruction and subversion, to clever personal convenience. Perhaps we were never miseducated. Perhaps we were just honest.
I need help understanding how they “gave evidence”

In any case, I know this won’t be officially resolved in the court of public opinion.
To be fair, there’s no trace of it in the lab either /s

Double zoonosis? The virus jumped to us and then to dogs, cats, tigers, hippos, pigs, etc. 29 known species! An unfathomable triple zoonosis that happened many, many times (thousands?) over the years. I’d say double zoonosis isn’t too uncommon.

The initial SARS presumably passed from bat to intermediate host to humans in a wet market. This exact type of event happened in China just 20 years ago.

And there isn’t “no trace” of an intermediate host. There are suspected intermediate hosts but none confirmed. Similarly SARS had a couple potential intermediate hosts, and MERS had a potential intermediate host but unanswered questions around that, too. Scientists had more confidence in those theories, but still uncertainties.

Again, I think both theories are plausible. But being a repeat to what we’ve seen before _is_ simpler. When you hear hooves, think horses not zebras.
My company uses it. I really hate it.

JavaScript world has moved away from classes. NestJS brings it back with a vengeance. It makes things so complicated.
It's even worse than the Uncle Bob explanation.

There are thresholds of effort for certain things at largely constant levels. E.g.: designing a new language, build tool, web application framework, or database all have some minimum effort that needs to be invested. In the past, there just weren't enough developers in the entire world to "overdo" these things, so there was a relatively small pool of languages, tools, and frameworks to choose from.

Now, individual corporations have armies of junior developers spitting out frameworks and query languages like a machine gun. There's so many now that you or I haven't even heard of 99% of them!

As the number of available developers grows exponentially, so does their capacity to "reinvent wheels". Their ignorance of existing wheels to they could be reusing grows exponentially also. The result is an exponentially exploding set of ad-hoc, incompatible systems.

In my recent semi-DevOps, semi-Cloud-Engineer role I've come across an absolutely bewildering array of tools even when I've generally restricted things to one cloud and one language's ecosystem. Heaven help you if your project has multiple languages!

Being a human is not a good reason to become a parent.

Ofc it's impractical at a political level, but from a logical perspective it's a lot safer for the existing population and more reliable a solution than a megaproject (ie "giant sun shade") which won't limit carbon at all leaving humanity on a longer tail ride to the same situation alongside the dangers of a megaproject failure.

It would be interesting to see trends of planned vs unplanned families. How many would be births get stopped with Plan B, etc?

In the Philippines, I'm not even sure you can get plan B pills, though there are other options I believe. The Catholic Church has generally frowned on any sort of birth control. Abortions are not legal.

Seems like dwindling birth rate would be a cultural shift rather than economic. I'm skeptical of a survey which asks if you're planning to have kids though. I'm single right now and I would say I'm unlikely to have kids. A relationship next month could change that.
