I'm totally trying to be good faith here, but are you aware of the recent admissions by NIH that EcoHealth (the funders of the research at WIV) basically did exactly this?

"On Wednesday, the NIH sent a letter to members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce that acknowledged two facts. One was that EcoHealth Alliance, a New York City–based nonprofit that partners with far-flung laboratories to research and prevent the outbreak of emerging diseases, did indeed enhance a bat coronavirus to become potentially more infectious to humans, which the NIH letter described as an “unexpected result” of the research it funded that was carried out in partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The second was that EcoHealth Alliance violated the terms of its grant conditions stipulating that it had to report if its research increased the viral growth of a pathogen by tenfold."

Further in the article:

"As scientists remain in a stalemate over the pandemic’s origins, another disclosure last month made clear that EcoHealth Alliance, in partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was aiming to do the kind of research that could accidentally have led to the pandemic. On September 20, a group of internet sleuths calling themselves DRASTIC (short for Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19) released a leaked $14 million grant proposal that EcoHealth Alliance had submitted in 2018 to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

It proposed partnering with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and constructing SARS-related bat coronaviruses into which they would insert “human-specific cleavage sites” as a way to “evaluate growth potential” of the pathogens. Perhaps not surprisingly, DARPA rejected the proposal, assessing that it failed to fully address the risks of gain-of-function research."

I don't believe that's true. Specifically, they say they are republishing public lists that people have signed up for, for largely the same purpose ("letting people know that I've been laid off"), which is in the interest of the subject. They should be notifying the people on the list, but there's nothing intrinsically wrong with what they're doing.

Yes it's very much an individual experience with many functions and

Functional threat modelling for templating past events onto avoiding
future harms, Valli,Revonsuo et al (Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience,
University of Turku)

"The threat simulation theory of dreaming (TST) () states that dream
consciousness is essentially an ancient biological defence mechanism,
evolutionarily selected for its capacity to repeatedly simulate
threatening events."

Integration and consolidation of past events. Physiology and
psychology of dreams, Alan S Eiser (Department of Neurology,
University of Michigan Sleep Disorders Center Ann Arbor)

"... direct and systematic investigation could be made of such
topics as the occurrence, qualities, recollection, and childhood
development of dreaming...neurobiological research, including
lesion and brain imaging studies, have established a clearer view
of the functional neuroanatomy of REM sleep and dreaming."

Processing difficult, complicated, unsettling thoughts. Affect
integration in dreams and dreaming, Gary Grenell (Faculty, Seattle
Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, USA)

"The processes by which dreaming aids in the ongoing integration of
affects into the mind are approached here from complementary
psychoanalytic and nonpsychoanalytic perspectives. One relevant
notion is that the dream provides a psychological space wherein
overwhelming, contradictory, or highly complex affects that under
waking conditions are subject to dissociation, splitting, or
disavowal may be brought together for observation by the dreaming
ego."

> However, the manifestation of a corporate entity should not generate a new right-bearing entity.

Of course it should, that's the whole purpose of the corporation. That's the premise whole western financial system is built on - that the corporations are right-bearing entities. That doesn't mean they are people - it means that in the western legal system, certain rights can attach to entities other than people. That's no surprise to anybody who would look into how corporations work and why they were invented in the first place.

> as though to cast a second vote

Voting rights have never been part of corporate personhood, what are you talking about?

> Money is not speech

Money by itself is a resource. This resource can be spent on speech - I can pay money to facilitate my speech. If you prevent me from doing that, you essentially shutting down my speech - what is the use of it if nobody can hear or read it, because publishing costs money, and I am prohibited from that? In a separation of labor society - which by now is every society - money is a necessary prerequisite to use the services of society. And no (significant) societal activity can be performed without involving money, one way or another. Thus, money are not speech, literally, but money are a necessary gateway to speech.

> This is tge court's error.

No, that's your error by trying to misrepresent the court's decision in a way that is convenient to you for criticizing it. The court did not say "corporations are people" or "money is speech" - they said something that the opposing side activists turned into such slogans, but if you want to understand and not just scream out your rage, then you need to go to the actual meaning, beyond the slogans.
Boneworks is a VR game where almost everything is physics based, including movements of all characters and your own avatar via a skeleton system. It has a different kind of feel to it and is quite innovative.

Yeah, agree here. People are pending over backwards parsing language, you can take any word and make the same argument. Even phrases like "consider", "other", "alternative" can be interpreted in wildly different ways, essentially making conversation much more muted and passive agressive.
Meanwhile the core issue is not discussed, which is; maybe we shouldnt inject mental health into words that are meaningless in that context. Maybe this should be handled with direct conversation instead of passive aggressive ways of inserting some kind of special meaning into random words.
I also feel that work is among the least important things I've got going on, but that doesn't seem like a reason not to care about maximizing career success. If you've got to work ~40 hours per week anyway, why not make an effort to maximize the return on your time?

If you do that, you lose all your apps and settings. Ergo, nobody does that. If you switch phones, you transfer the account. Also, Apple tracking what you do in their App Store is perhaps not very nice but doesn’t affect anyone in any detectable way so no normal person is going to go through the effort to avoid it, if they even know it is happening.
I think my message came off unclear. I wasn't praising Apple for the games themselves, but rather the policy of:

- No ads

- No in app purchase

- Curating a collection of good games to include on the platform

Apple does pay the developers for being on Apple Arcade. Including funding the development of bespoke titles, as well as ongoing payments for the duration the game is listed on the Arcade service.

Similarly! You always wanted to read the comments, because the docs would not necessarily tell you that such-and-such a function had tricky edge cases, or had been replaced by a better version, or was a massive security risk.

What happens if an exchange extends credit?

There's a reason the perp exchanges have a fund, it's the capital that protects them from losing money on overleveraged customers. Or rather it's the rainy day fund that they lose out of when the delev happens.

Not sure this is related though, mechanics of today are not clear to me from what I've been able to find.
Going to need a _huge_ source on that claim. Investing customer funds is the primary way banks make their money, and has been that way essentially since the invention of banking.

I don't understand why the author first describes how bad N+1 queries are and then later claims that they are sometimes good? Yes, of course that can be true in very specific circumstances, but in many cases I've seen atrocious performance due to N+1 queries and fixing them was the first step in making an unresponsive website perform.

Don't also really agree that adding validations, joins etc. to your DB is "coupling your application logic to the DB" or that it makes the app slower (???). The thing that is coupling your business logic to the DB is a bad architecture which, unfortunately, most ORMs (including ActiveRecord) encourage. The fact that you can access a propery on an ActiveRecord object in a view and have this secretly make a database call, is one of the reasons for those infamous N+1s.
# of lines of codes is a super-valuable metric when used relatively to compare two different things in software.

For example, I worked a .NET project with a central form that had close to 30K lines of code. This was 10x in comparison with anything else in the app. This is clearly a "whale" of a problem.

The lines-of-code comparison made it much easier for non-technical staff to now understand why this "one form" (really dozen of different functions contained in a single form) was troublesome in terms of fixes, enhancements etc. and also why no one wanted to touch it.
> It seems that you have simplified the issue into government/countries and motorists = bad and that they're uncivilized.

Hardly. More like US government and drivers = bad. Specifically around the subject of vulnerable road users and sustainable transport. An opinion backed by person experience, and plenty of statistics.
It depends on the fixed price offered by FTX.

I admit, although not medically prescribed or supervised, doing mushrooms has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

Although I still have persistent nightmares it changed my understanding of other people and their perspectives to the point my anxiety in a lot of situations has vanished.

I don't think people should go nuts with them but I do think it's a good idea for some people with anxiety to find a clean pleasant care-free place to try them. Even if it just allows them to spend a few hours immersing themselves in completely different thought patterns and potentially gain something from them.
Obviously Amazon knows what you search for on Amazon. But they probably also track what you type into the search field, even if you then delete it and never actually perform the search and even if you turn off the suggestions.

Just like when you chat with a company through one of those web chat apps, they see everything you type, even if you delete it before you press enter to send it. That is tracking on the modern web.
It is bad customer service that they didn't restore the rollover credits.

If I am understanding you correctly, you're on the Adobe $49/month plan, which gives you 25 credits/month then rolled over 240 or nearly 10 months worth. If that is accurate may I suggest you re-evaluate Adobe Stock going forward and look at their pay per stock competitors? In particular if they're going to treat rollover credits as this poorly (e.g. expiration and or sudden loss)?

The whole rollover credit thing is just a manipulative way of establishing sunk cost (e.g. "I cannot cancel I have months of value in this account!"). If you're building up rollover credit consistently over months you're likely better off either with a lower tier of subscription or a competitor. Adobe's biggest sales pitch is their integration, but third parties also offer Adobe extensions.

Unfortunately I doubt blasting them on social media will help here, Adobe just doesn't care what people think of them.

We can pretend that we are doing amazing, shattering one growth target after another, but this is not the reality. Reality is not liberal bullshit, it's consequences are real. Admitting we have a problem is the first step, which is why we need a better measure, one that includes how the rest of us are doing, not just the wealthy. It also doesn't hurt to include how sustainable all of this, because if it's not than what's the point of growth.
