The reasonable argument and support facts back then was the same as today. China had a research lab researching SARS-CoV viruses in the same location as the first cases of SARS-CoV-2.

People just didn't like the political implication, and that is not something which reasonable argument and supporting facts can solve.
It was completely true when the Greeks complained about it and it's true still today.

>While American McDonalds do serve coffee, they likely don’t serve expresso.

They should. I just checked the online menu and they have americano and various other espresso based drinks, but not espresso specifically. That said if you go in person you should be able to get an espresso buy telling them to make an americano without the water.
Your standard of proof for 'this is a simulation' seems low to me...
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

This may be referring to people who can "read" the Koran, where "read" means say the text out loud. Understanding what they're saying is a different question, and most of those people probably do not understand the Koran's language (which is a more than thousand year old version of Arabic).

Alternatively, it may be referring to people who read a language written in Arabic script, but not necessarily the Arabic language. Languages that use some variety of Arabic script include Persian (Farsi and Dari), Urdu, Pashto, Western Punjabi, Uyghur and some other languages. Some of those languages use vowel diacritics, particularly Uyghur.
I had access to one of the development boards 1986/87. I was writing neural network code for my degree/dissertation and it was slow on the Sun 3 at the lab which was slower than the departmental Vax. I was writing in C (rather than the AI languages of the time) to get the most out of the machines we had and it was still overnight runs to train a network. The transputer was so seductive with its promise of parallel speed but I could not get my head around the Occam language and dev environment in time for my deadline. I still think of it fondly as a thing that I was happy to have bumped into however slightly since it went the way of so many ideas about how to build a computer with an eye on the pre-winter, mostly symbolic AI (Lisp machines, Connection Machine, Cray).
Must the "platform" be so different from a "product"? I think a platform team should think of their output as a product, and so should the rest of the company. Have a PM, scrum or whatever, normal engineering titles, all the usual trappings.

And then you conveniently avoid the architect title!

I would argue that in the social media space, trends in "cancel culture" and just generally shaming people for saying something not supported by whatever is the current "woke" / "social justice" viewpoint du jour are a relatively recent phenomenon. At least in my experience, conversations online were more open 10 years ago than they are today.
Here are some of the guiding principles.

1. User-centered design: Prioritize the needs and goals of the user.

2. Simplicity: Create a clean and easy-to-use design with clear navigation.

3. Consistency: Maintain a cohesive look and feel across all pages.

4. Accessibility: Follow web accessibility guidelines to make the design accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

5. Responsive design: Make the design responsive to different screen sizes and devices.

6. Visual hierarchy: Use visual cues to create a clear hierarchy of information.

7. Content first: Base the design on the content of the website, with the design supporting the content.

8. Usability: Make the website easy to use, so that users can find what they need and complete their tasks.

9. Performance: Optimize images, code, and other elements for fast loading and good performance.

10. Aesthetics: Create a visually appealing design that reflects the brand and purpose of the website.

11. Standardisation: Use only Standardised terms, icons, images which people are already aware of. Lot of changes may divert away the users and require learning curve.
1. Do you have an example of someone who has been deplatformed (kicked off Youtube, Twitter, etc) for simply saying that COVID came from a lab outbreak? Because I'm pretty sure they also had some strong opinions on other topics and/or engaged in online harassment.

2. Do you have any evidence that they we "deamplified" as a conscious decision by employees of the platform? Or did their opinions expressed simply lose them following and/or not generate their normal engagement?

If their deamplification was a conscious decision by employees of the platform - how is that not also an expression of free speech by those employees and/or the platform? Should private companies not be allowed to moderate content on their platforms as they see fit?

If the deamplification was a result of them losing following and/or not generating normal engagement - what do you expect to happen here? People can express any opinion they want, but people are also completely free to not listen or engage.

My partner regularly picks up pacing duties. It's pretty common for professional runners, and they receive some modest compensation depending on the size of the meet. Pretty trivial for a 1500 or 3k specialist to pace a 10k, for example. She's knocked out an 8:46 3k and is quite literally a human metronome, so it's a good go for her. Making sure your splits are even requires a lot of practice, however, and accelerating or slowing down is an unpleasant experience for the rest of the race participants.
That's not entirely what I meant by my question. Let me try rephrasing. Is there a thing that works on the same principle as a 7 segment display, possibly with a more than 7 segments but still a manageable amount, which is designed to display Arabic characters with a similar amount of legibility?

You make an interesting point, perhaps the make and model of the vehicle should be more prominent or never prominent. The first would villainize the manufacturer and model (which seems irrelevant), the latter would direct uncreased focus on the human behind the wheel. The vehicle type are a huge distraction from what is often an underlying tragedy.

It absolutely isn't, wider reporting of incidents would help raise awareness which would likely have a positive effect in that it'd let people know how widespread a problem it is which could lead to some amount of better decisions.

Not really. I don't think Github has any continuing service obligation to you, especially as a non-paying user. Taking Github to court to find out for sure is probably expensive.

In theory, you could provide a counter notice, and Github says they will reenable repos after two weeks of a counter notice unless the claimed owner provides Github with notice of a lawsuit. But you may want to get legal advice before you do this.

Also in theory, the DMCA provides for damages for improper notices, but collecting on that would require a most likely expensive to start court case.
Comments like these remind me of people who distrust climate models telling me (a meteorologist) what the climate model ignores, which of course it doesn’t ignore because scientists aren’t morons.

Nitpick: language is neither descriptivist nor prescriptivist, language simply is. A modern linguist is generally descriptivist in their approach to language.

Aside from that, I don't think the terms really apply to a discussion about emoji, because what makes emoji odd is that they are almost never in common usage as part of the language until Unicode adds them. That makes it very hard to claim that Unicode is describing anything in particular by adding emoji, and in fact makes their role much more prescriptive than not.

"But one of the big issues today is that a lot of people believe that others not accepting their opinion is a form of persecution. They are so self-centered that criticism of what they say is taken as an insult to them personally. Criticism of these people lead to no moments of self-reflection and no moment"

The colloquial term for these people is "woke".
Another example of a contextually dependent glyph in Latin script is the non-word-final form of 's' that looks sort of like an 'f' in English texts. See for example images of the hand-written US Constitution, where this comes up in the very first word "Congress", which appears to modern readers to be spelled "Congrefs".

This led to an embarrassing mistake when Google OCRed older books that contained the word "suck."
The people making those claims and providing evidence to back them up were actively censored by our largest media platforms.

That throws the whole possibility of debate and responding to critics out the window.

forecast reflecting a 20% to 35% chance of an economic contraction
within 12 months. By June, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was
bracing for an economic “hurricane,” and the following month, the
team at Bank of America predicted a mild recession would hit before
the year’s close. In September, policy makers at the Fed forecast
economic growth of an anemic 0.2% for the year.

The Chat GPT Course
I recently came across 4H in the excellent movie Leave No Trace (2018)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3892172/

The basic premise is this Iraq/Afghan veteran father is raising his daughter homeless in the woods outside Portland, Oregan. He struggles with PTSD but clearly still takes care of his daughter, including teaching her english/math (which the social worker later says is beyond her typical grade level) and of course outdoor survival skills.

They eventually get caught by city workers/police and they end up housed via a sympathetic farmer where he gets a job and his daughters ends up finding a 4H social program for kids. She gets exposed to socialization programs, in particular a local group raising/training rabbits for competitions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-H

The biggest issue with the child in the film wasn't her lack of education, but her lack of socialization. And the (brief) 4H scene was a great demonstration of the value of these sorts of programs for kids.

The failures of the US public education system on grades and the (alleged) solutions has been talked to death in the media but these sorts of social boosting programs deserve their own hype.

It's particularly interesting that it spawned out of the agricultural agencies, not your typical urban ones.
I still remember that all 7s and IIRC all 8s works in Quake 3 Arena as a CD key too. I found this out button-mashing as a kid after my actual CD key wouldn’t take. Probably something screwy with their CD key verification algo that probably just passes stuff around internally as 1 or something. I’m sure this is some whole sub-genre of cryptography — finding inputs that break the verification calculations — but I don’t know the name of it beyond “cracking”, albeit “non-patching-based”.
I don't think it's so black and white. Sometimes, races without pacers can have exceptionally slow splits (which-- admittedly, leads to a very exciting and tactical conclusion on occasion). These "slow" bouts are quite common in heats in the Olympics, for example.

Pacers in the Diamond League, for example, maintain an exceptional pace that regularly leads to new World Records for participants, because the entire race is fast from the gun.

I don't disagree with your sentiment. Just adding some nuance.
See if you can determine that for yourself by e.g. reading the second paper as far as the first sentence of the second paragraph and then looking at the publication date.
I could understand if this were a non-alphabet system like Chinese where the information coding is that dense per character. But for an alphabet system, why the mismatch between the bits of information per character and the bits needed to visually represent that character? The Latin alphabet mostly fits on a 7 seg display, and 26 letters requires a theoretical minimum of 5 bits to encode, so the graphical efficiency is close to optimal. What is it about the way other alphabets are encoding information that makes them hard or impossible to reduce down to a small number of segments?

I used to work on MS Windows/Office from Korea. It took 15+ hours to build.

- The devs all had multiple (4+) computers so they could work on other stuff while waiting for builds. Everyone had a KVM to switch between computers. Later virtual machines were utilized to make even more virtual dev machines.

- Also tried to schedule full builds so they could be done overnight/during the weekend.

- Of course, incremental builds after only changing a few files didn't take nearly as long. (But a full build was needed to test the changes still worked with the ever-changing code base.)

- Dev and test teams were separate, so I'm not sure what the process was for the test team.

- This was back in 2009 (and there is no longer a dev team at MS Korea office.)

When it hit, I took the first Wuhan sequence and ran it through some Python and pulled out string repeats in nucleotides.

So, it's entirely plausible, but without proof it isn't scientific.

>most of those people probably do not understand the Koran's language (which is a more than thousand year old version of Arabic).

My understanding, as a non-Muslim who doesn't speak Arabic, is that the standard Arabic is pretty conservative such that MSA, as would be commonly heard on TV or read in the news or other more formal settings, is not very far off the Arabic used in the Quran. So I think most native Arabic speakers would understand the Quran well, but may not be able to fluently speak or write it.

And that many Arabic learners learn MSA along with a dialect, so many second language speakers would probably be able to productively read the Quran as well.
Why not?
