No one is asserting that SARS-CoV-2 initially spilled from human to animal to human. You're perhaps misunderstanding the assertion from Pekar et al. that it spilled from animal to human twice (i.e., from Animal A to Human A forming Lineage A, and from Animal B to Human B forming Lineage B), in "The molecular epidemiology of multiple zoonotic origins of SARS-CoV-2". I think their argument is weak, and mostly agree with the criticisms in

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.10.511625v1

I can at least repeat their argument correctly, though.

You've also grossly mischaracterized the evidence for a research-related origin. For example, it's not that "labs around the world work on SARS viruses"--the WIV was one of only two labs in the world (with UNC) genetically manipulating coronaviruses in ways consistent with SARS-CoV-2, and has the largest collection of novel sarbecoviruses anywhere.

David Relman (of Stanford) published a note in 2020, which I believe has aged quite well:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1073/pnas.2021133117

Many other impeccably-credentialed academics consider this origin to be an open question. Bluntly, I don't think you're well-informed here. (Did you know that the 1977 flu killed ~700k people, and is uncontroversially accepted to have arisen from a research accident? If not, does that shift your priors on research-origin pandemics?) I would urge you to learn more from scientific sources, instead of repeating shallow headline claims.

Hmm that's interesting. The screen is supposed to be non scrollable, non draggable and non zoomable on mobile to avoid this type of issues. Unfortunately it might be a bug for opera on android. I'll see what I can do. Just to make sure, this is happening in a fresh browser tab, not within a webview from another app - right? In the meantime, hopefully you'll able to play normally on other mobile or desktop browsers. Thanks for your patience and support!
If it is just for e-commerce, just steal signup form from local e-commerce websites. Or if there are local competitor platforms that does as good as yours, look into theirs.

But the question sounds like there are already substantial asian users in divergent conventions without frictions. If that is what your app is trying to fix, I'm not completely sure how it will work out.
I certainly write outlines first, but when I do sit down to write a full draft I really like to get to something that's "complete" even if it's really bad. Then I can switch into "editing" mode mentally.

I've never had a trans person come up and tell me I'm wrong for being cisgender, or that I should change, or that cisgender people are just confused, or that they are barring cisgender people from using the bathroom. I have never had my cis life limited by a transgender person in my life, I am just allowed to get on with things with no harassment. Being cis is pretty chill.

Extending that same courtesy back to transgender people is not hard.
I’m sure you’re right, but it’s unbelievable to me how cost effective people claim S3 is. I’ve just never been able to get the pricing calculator to show me “cheap”. And I guess I’ve never really gotten comfortable with the access patterns, as it’s not a file system.

Where could I explore situations where people have used S3 with extremely favorable conditions relative to local storage(?), in terms of: price, access latency, and any other relevant column?

I want to believe, it’s just hard for me to go all in on an Amazon API.
I think we're talking about the X-37, which is a secretive unmanned shuttle.

There is a lot of speculation about the possible uses and missions for the X-37. Amateur astronomers enjoy trying to locate it, but it keeps manoeuvring!

I have a feeling that part of the problem (i.e, why LoTT are allowed to continue doing their thing) is that there isn't any explicit incitement. It's just sort of implicitly understood by the audience that, if there's a post about some specific entity, that's an invitation to harass them. This isn't a situation which the law currently handles effectively.

Must say I don't understand the nature of problems discussed.

I lived in Asia for many years and worked with people from many places there.

It's common to hear "How should I address you?" This is equivalent to the people here suggesting a "nickname" field (good idea).

There are people with only one name. Don't make them double it (Ananda Ananda).

There are people with several given names. But they may only want to be called by the first, or the first two, or the last.

There are people who wish to be called by their full name. They may find it jarring to be addressed by just one piece of their name.

Finally there are people who go by a name which is not part of their legal name at all. Short forms like Bob instead of Robert, but also freeform names for various reasons, perhaps the most sensitive being that some government official may have determined their legal name contrary to their own wishes. Imagine your mother named you Sue but someone decided that must be short for Susan and put that on your government documents.

Related: when people want to show which part of their name is the family name, they either make it all uppercase or underline it. You can see this on some CVs but it happens elsewhere too when a full name is going to be read by people who don't know the addressee.
The constitution - or rather, judicial interpretation of the constitution - is constantly in flux. The kinda things that were seen as constitutionally valid by SCOTUS less than a century ago are completely off the wall compared to today. And today's views will likely be very different from a future court's interpretation.

Not quite the same thing. Actual abundant phosphorus compounds would be quite surprising. Probably the end of the phosphorus-problem resolution of the fermi paradox, for one thing. But medium-small organic molecules aren't that big a surprise anymore.

There are non mainstream systems out there that support datatypes, like BeOS and its successor Haiku.
> For me and my people, it's perceived as rude (it sounds infantilizing). Just because you don't perceive it that way doesn't mean it is not.

So what you’re actually saying now is that any inferred form of address may come across as rude, which means you original suggestion is plain incorrect: splitting given name and family name does not allow generating a genetically never rude form of address, because you can’t know whether the user’s culture favours given names, family names, full names, or even none of the above.

And that’s before getting into honorifics and titles.
Let's say you have a dependency A from China. But all the software developers that work and specialize in A, live in China. If you ban dependency A, what you'll have is a dependency B from Mexico that is calling dependency A.

In order to really replace A, you'll need to hire, train and form software developers specializing in A. This is both time consuming and expensive.

This falls in the same line of some people (economists) who think that printing money will generate wealth. Sounds familiar?

I thought a bit about this... I feel like for me most of my slowdown comes from needing to get timing correct between my right and left hand. When I go too fast I start to get the letters in the wrong order, which isn't as much of a risk for letters all coming from the same hand (for me at least shrug)

I might go look for some research on typing times for different kinds of words beyond letter count!
They are making it themselves ... all of it.
I would like a world where this does not happen but I also think that none of the things you say are issues of politics/equal rights. While not nice, these things seem to be well within the rights of the other people and I don‘t think you should try to force to change their minds through political means/power. I actually think the US has quite a good way of dealing with this by allowing a lot of differences between the states. In that way you can go where you‘re treated best and the other people can go where they like the lifestyles of the others the best. Forcing a national average is a recipe for disaster/division.
I must confess that I directly participated, aided and abetted Eternal September.

By summer 1992, I had landed my first-ever job with InterNIC Information Services. They were part of a trio (with the obscure Database Services and the notorious Registration Services by Network Solutions). IS's mission was to serve as a clearinghouse for information to the Research and Education communities who comprised the Internet in the early 90s. My crumudgeonly supervisor had an MLS degree.

Of course, due to our (800) toll-free number being published by a few very annoying national media outlets, our scope crept into the consumer dialup market. Thereafter, my job duties consisted chiefly of pulling every voicemail message as quickly as humanly possible, then photocopying or printing via SPARCprinter a document known as PDIAL, and then quickly cramming it into an envelope or FAX machine, then probably either rebooting the SPARC machine to unjam the printer, or going to listen to more voicemails.

PDIAL was a compendium of all known methods for getting onto the Information Superhighway at up to 14.4Kbit/s. Of course it included AOL and all the other walled garden, pseudo-ISPs.

So if you ever meet someone who pioneered the commercialized, privatized Internet in 1992-93, I may have been the dude who gave them directions.

Yeah this is a fear mongering tactic, and an intentional overreach.

The Nazi bar problem is not even hard in concept. If someone is not a Nazi, let them in. If someone is edgy, let them in. If someone is a Nazi, kick them out. Not rocket science. Nazis will not accumulate if done this way.

But people get looser and looser about their definition of Nazis, which ends up being “people I don’t like or who have different politics agendas than me” and pre emptively kick out tons of people in the name of keeping themselves safe
my main use case was quick slack messages and emails. I haven't found any good dictation systems where the latency of starting / stopping it for really quick messages wasn't too high a barrier.

I haven't insulted you. By 'pearl clutching' I refer to your use of italics to emphasize words for purely rhetorical effect, like it's a Daily Mail scandal. I'm well aware that he has made bold claims on this topic in the past, some of which I found more persuasive than others. I'm fine with him doing that as long as he's not fabricating evidence, and nobody is suggesting such.
Sorry it was a typo. Corrected.
So does the 3GPP not develop RAND open(ish) standards? I mean rhetorical question: they do. So.. this is "Chinese Chip fabs 1 tier back from TSMC prove they can make viable FPGA and other specific purpose SDH chips for 5G" which is "yea.. we expected that" surely?

> does WASM support background threads?

yes

Figma is able to use more than 1 CPU core and also claim a lot of your GPUs capabilities.

Don't believe me? Open Figma, load a large file and watch it use multiple CPU cores using htop. Driving the GPU is not all the application does. It also has to work with a largish model and abstract syntax tree and do lots of complex things with that before it goes anywhere near the GPU and opengl. Driving that probably happens on the main thread.

On a modern M1, the app is fast and responsive. It only uses a few worker threads (less than the number of CPU cores) and the GPU is fast enough to keep framerates high if you do things like zooming and panning the view. It's the older and slower laptops that are going to be more challenging.
This is definitely an interesting challenge!

Often CPU steals are visible in cloud environments. This could be useful for finding some noisy neighbor behaviors, and deciding to either adjusting expectations or rerun.

But things like IO, GPU or memory contestation also could be responsible. There are some fancy new-ish extensions for controlling memory throughput. Intel has Memory Bandwidth Allocation controls in their Resource Director Technology, which is a suite of capabilities all designed for observing & managing cross system resources. There's also controls available for setting up cache usage/allocation.
That's been my experience of powershell and typescript. To a lesser extreme python because its type hints are a bit crap.

Though I can see why you might not agree after trying an extreme like Rust. Sometimes I want to run a broken program to stop the debugger and see what I'm dealing with and rust won't do that.
Heck, I just saw on Reddit some guy just discovered his girlfriend's "real name" is "Lawr'ryn" due to dumb parents. She preferred to go by Lauren. And her brother Pur'see went by Percy.

Why, as a system designer, would you force your user to see "Lawy'ryn" every day just because that's on some government document somewhere?

> X = some arbitrary number the YouTube algorithm is prioritizing

This thing about video length is mostly a myth. "The algorithm" juggles many variables but I've seen no evidence content length is one of them.

There was a very common pattern of rambling to meet the 10m mark because this was a threshold to add a midroll ad to your video and thus make more money.

So your point still applies, it's just purely out of creator greed and not chasing youtube's heuristics.

My father thought computers were tools for secretaries - on which he looked down - and could not fathom why on earth it was interesting to me. Then he babbled about the one Fortran class he had to take at university, how backward those punch cards were and how he basically learned nothing. When a computer finally entered the house, I was so exited. The first thing I did was installing a copy of a programming language I got from a teacher and I was very proud to show my father. My father literally threw a tantrum. I basically had anti-mentorship. For the longest time my dream was to be unlike my father.

Agree. It's not that blogs don't happen, it's that they're hard to find. The signal:noise ratio has gone up.

I'm hoping ActivityPub sorts out the discoverability somehow.
Thanks for this - I have to admit I've never really seen an HSM doing the two operations you mention. The two cases
I have seen are bulk crypto operations for SSL offload (costly, performance critical) and key wrap/unwrap/derive (less costly, less perf impact, but keys exposed to app).

I guess the cases you mentioned are similar to bulk crypto in the sense you just get the answer back, rather than the ability to compute it yourself?
Nice, very cool, definitely not dangerous at all.
> It's common to hear "How should I address you?" This is equivalent to the people here suggesting a "nickname" field (good idea).

It’s not uncommon in the west either and it’s weird how much we ignored it in software e.g. “I’m John Q. Smith the Third but call me John” or “May I call you j-dog?”

> There are people who wish to be called by their full name. They may find it jarring to be addressed by just one piece of their name.

There’s also the issue of honorifics which you usually can’t get from names alone, as well as titles (whether professional or nobility) which can be very important to people’s identity.
Yes. and for things like KYC/AML the 100 points test can get very literal about "as written on the passport"
There were centuries of organizations that tried to prevent war by trust and cooperation. Before the UN was the League of Nations, before the LoN was the Concert of Europe and there were undoubtedly countless efforts prior. But they all failed completely abysmally. Do you know the one thing that actually worked? Countries having nuclear weapons. Suddenly there was a strong self-interest in avoiding war, and "real" war essentially disappeared - at least between nuclear powers.

And I think that's generally true in everything, everywhere. The reason you can walk down the street safely in most places is not because of an implicit agreement of cooperation, but simply because we're all working in our best interest. You don't even consider messing with other people, because you'd just end up in prison for negligible gains. And indeed as soon as that threat and imminence of harsh consequence disappears, it suddenly becomes much less safe to walk down those streets.

BRICS is not united in some ideological conformity, but instead in self interest. They don't want to be dominated by a single hegemon. And I think this form of cooperation based solely on self interest - is far more likely to persist and yield fruitful results. I also expect this is why agreements will, and should, take much longer. Instead of just bum-rushing some virtue filled "Treaty of Whatever" that'll get scrapped by any participating government when it becomes inconvenient, they want to ensure there are implicit self-interest motivated systems driving cooperation through any foreseeable circumstance.
Incredible book that helped me along on my journey, forever grateful!
