The US government is so large and sprawling that essentially every agency concerns itself with every possible topic.
Thank you for the suggestion. When I was searching for solutions, I got a lot of snippets like yours, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to turn a snippet like that into a page on the site. The best I ever got was a markdown page that was a copy of the "about.md" page, but I couldn't get that to show anything but static content.

I created this 3-4 years ago, hacked on it some to get it where it is, which I tried not to be too crazy. But maybe I just munged it up somehow. Maybe I just need to start over again with the latest Hugo and get brained up. Hugo has nice documentation, but it fairly quickly goes from "put a few markdown pages here and run hugo" to "read the rest of the book". Which is probably just the nature of the beast.
A lot of these quotes are actually inventions of translators or researchers.

Another one that I'm pretty sure was not actually said by Aristotle (and that I love), is:

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
The linked paper has some clues:

> "Muller (1927) that showed that the mutation rate is proportional to the radiation dose, much of it attributable to ionization by cosmic rays. The muon component dominates the flux of particles on the ground at energies above 100 MeV, contributing 85% of the radiation dose from cosmic rays (Atri & Melott 2011). Muons have an energy sufficient to penetrate considerable depths, and they are, on average, spin-polarized. Ionization by spin-polarized radiation could be enantioselective (Zel'dovich et al. 1977). Therefore, we argue that the mutation rate of live and evil organisms would be different. As there could be billions or even trillions of generation of the earliest and simplest life forms, a small difference in the mutation rate could easily sustain one of the two early, chiral choices."

The actual models and calculations they employ to get an estimate of bias are really complicated, but if I read correctly, it's only a diffence of +/- 10^-7 relative to 50:50 equality:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ab8dc6#...

They suggest this is somehow amplified over time, but it's equally likely life just settled on one or the other handed version randomly.
Rolls is on a whole different level when it comes to fit and finish. The interior and ride quality is why they cost as much as an Italian sports car and weigh as much as an armored vehicle. Adding a bit of leather trim and brushed aluminium buttons doesn't get you into the same league.

It is funny that the old ones are so mechanically unreliable though, when you consider that Rolls also has a long history of making aircraft engines.
For countries where pre-school to university education is funded with taxpayers money and citizens have a right to education whenever they please, I don't think a book club is going to break the camel's back.

I'm speaking as someone who has been enrolled in university for most of his adult life, attending whatever I feel like, while paying for it with my taxes. Public libraries, schools, and universities here have all sorts of clubs and events as part of their program.
It's mostly a historical accident, like Python ending up as the data science language.

Microsoft XNA used to be a popular indie game framework that used C#. Stardew Valley, Celeste and Terraria run on XNA.

Mono used C#. Xamarin used Mono to create a cross-platform application framework that worked on mobile. Unity leveraged Xamarin to create a cross-platform game engine that worked on mobile, ending up using C#.

Thus, two generations of indie gamedevs ended up learning C# to create games. Then Unity grew a whole lot, so more and more people ended up associating C# with game engines, so as soon as Godot was released people started asking for C# support.

But C# being the language of choice doesn't really depend on specific C# features. It could've just as easily been Lua or JavaScript instead. For example, RPG Maker moved from Ruby to JavaScript when they upgraded to a new engine, again, because their new rendering engine was nw.js, and getting it to run almost anywhere was easy.
Why do you assume money changed hands at all?

Raspberry Pi Foundation gets another high profile and very desirable piece of educational software to include in their OS so it's a big win for them (and some of their users).

Wolfram gets a bunch of potential paying users when the children/college students/hobbyists get into the workforce and decide to use Mathematica in a commercial setting or pay for licenses of their own to use on their own more powerful workstations at home.

Looks like a win-win for everyone. I'm not really understanding all the negativity here. If it's because Mathematica is closed source, the Raspberry Pi OS image already includes closed source software like Minecraft education edition.

Firstly, the DOE has expertise in areas such as biosecurity, biodefense, and biological threat reduction, and is responsible for managing national laboratories and supporting research in various scientific fields.

Just one example of this is the HAMMER facility at Hanford, WA, where DOE can train people to deal with all manner of disasters. https://hammer.hanford.gov/

Given the potential for a laboratory-originating virus to pose a significant threat to national security, the DOE may be interested in studying the origins of SARS-CoV-2 to better understand the risks associated with biosecurity and to inform its efforts to prevent and respond to biological threats.

Secondly, the DOE has collaborated with other agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in conducting research related to COVID-19. The origins of SARS-CoV-2 are an important aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic and understanding its origins can inform public health responses and the development of treatments and vaccines.

Finally, the DOE has a stake in global scientific cooperation and the international research community. The origins of SARS-CoV-2 are an area of intense global interest, and understanding the virus's origins is important for future pandemic prevention efforts. By contributing to the scientific understanding of the virus's origins, the DOE can help to advance international collaboration and cooperation in addressing global health threats.

The problem is bridging the gap between the ideal solution (everyone gets an individual tutor) that scales for everyone.

It's not meant to replace teachers, but it reduces the amount of individual teaching needed. In my own case, once I am done with this and can afford the time, I'll get a private music teacher and go through any tough spots I encountered since our last meeting.
IMO there's this weird tendency for technologists to create a model of "normies" with no bespoke interests or self-actualization, and then argue that they're following fully-fleshed-out "normie" incentives rather than the actuality of advertising and product placement.

Also I find it a bit disingenuous when people argue for the "less expensive" options that put you at the mercy of streaming companies. My amd64+Kodi+zfs+VPN setup certainly isn't the cheapest, but neither is a corporate puck with several monthly fees for streaming services. If one wanted to be entertained for the least money possible, I suspect that would just consist of using your current laptop/computer running a general purpose OS to play dodgy streaming sites. But most people seemingly want something more than that (which ties back in to my first paragraph).
"You don't need a citation for an opinion."

No, that's not the most dangerous interpretation.

The most dangerous interpretation of "lab leak" is the one backed by the most evidence - that they were artificially enhancing viruses so they could develop vaccines against them. The Pfizer guy who got caught on camera by Project Veritas said they were considering doing the same thing.

Selling people vaccines for viruses the scientists created specifically to create vaccines for, is about the worst conflict of interest you can imagine and one with global implications, not just for US/China relations.

Option A - You take the job in 2024 and put off the Masters. Option B - You start your Masters and put off work until 2025.

When I was in your position years ago I took situation B, but before doing that I had good reason to believe I had a job lined up that was interested in the MS. My main reason for choosing B was I felt I’d never have the time to do a masters full time once I entered the job force, and I wanted do have a degree that distinguished myself. All of that worked out fine for me and I have a good job now.

However, looking back I would choose Option A. I didn’t learn a lot of new things from my Masters because there was so much overlap with my undergraduate degree. I would have appreciated it more as a part time program later in my career when I had more experience. Also, it took me 5 years to catch up with the salaries my friends who didn’t take the pause were making.

I’d recommend taking the job, work for 5 years then revisit the masters.

Seems like the only problem here is a dispute about the accuracy of the appraisal. With an accurate appraisal the owners could have bought a comparable property elsewhere.

Come to think of it, given that the value of the appraisal is the main issue, it’s very strange that the owners never got their own appraisal, instead paying all these legal fees while relying on an automatically generated “Zestimate”. The fact that they were involved in a legal battle for years without ever having gotten an appraisal leads me to think that getting a fair price was never their goal, but instead they were hoping for an inflated price as holdouts. Then the NY Times writer came in, and noticing this glaring hole in their story, needed to fill it with a quick search on Zillow.

> However in my personal case I don’t believe transgender and gender identity roles are something that should be pressed on still developing minors.

I don't think those things should be pressed on developing minors either. But I see people of all stripes dressing their boys in pants and their girls in skirts; blue for boys, pink for girls; encouraging boys to hang with boys and play with "boy things" and girls to hang with girls and play with "girl things" and romanticizing cross-gender interactions between children as young as a day old. I don't think we should be forcing these norms on children of this age.

But I suspect that what you're actually saying is that we should not tolerate transgender expression in children. Which, I submit, violates the rights of that child to express themselves.

And, by the way, freedom of speech includes the freedom to respond to deplorable speech with criticism and even shunning. If somebody thinks that you're a bigot or a hater, will you defend their rights to say so?
The article is very selective: For example there is no mention of the Napoleonic wars. Also there was WW1 - that's another big demographic shift. They built a big defensive line, the Maginot line, because they gathered that they would not have the manpower for another big confrontation, in the style of WW1. However France had a higher birthrate than Germany - in the period after WW2.

Gain-of-function research serves a legitimate purpose, but if this lean stemmed from GoF work, that is not apparent from the SARA CoV-2 genome.

Aside: When's the last time you even read the the comics on a regular basis?

I have family that I had to stay with last year for an extended period. They are older, so they still get the news, and so I read the comics just like what was left of the paper (let's agree to table the discussion of newspapers for now?). Like, the comics have really gone places.

Try xz compression and put in a blob and then and put in wasm (C or rust for best performance). You can inline the wasm in single html file along with js and css. At load time, in wasm, you can decompress and instantiate the elements/objects/records from parsing the blob. You can keep in wasm or copy/move to js land. Sounds like a lot but it's pretty easy.
I find it interesting that this story was picked up by the WSJ and has not yet hit the NYTimes. The WSJ editorial staff is well known to have a conservative bias, but their newsroom editors are considered to be quite centrist.

By that time, though, Microsoft had implemented product activation. To my knowledge, no one ever cracked the telephone activation algorithm. That is, there were no tools to get a confirmation ID from an install ID. At the very least, no tools were ever made widely available, and don't seem to be even to this day. I suppose there wasn't a lot of need, since pirates just distributed volume licenced versions that did not require product activation (FCKGW).

That's 80% of how to use it. Most of the rest is how to select individual parts of the graph to study. So other than setting it up and writing material for it (which I don't envision most people needing to do), I don't see how that's less user friendly than a website. But I understand how using a CLI is inherently limiting. Not enough time as a solo project so I am not focusing on that for now.
