And in fact the two linages only different by 2 bases, something that can occur in a single host, it in no way indicates there were two jumps. All you need is for a virus to be circulating in humans for like a week.

As Stanford Biologist Michael Lim points out:

>indeed he goes straight from seeing 2 lineages to concluding there were 2 jumps from wildlife days apart. That : (a) assumes the jumps were from wildlife, not people. (b) hides the fact that >2 mutations are being made in each host anyway, so separate events not needed

>Indeed Worobey seems to think "Lineage A" and "Lineage B" are some profoundly different lineages but the tree he shows confirms they are different by only 2 bases. The "A" root has 2 fewer mutations than the "B" root. He doesn't point this out. Yet he must know.

Windows 10 introduced things that would have been (and were) deemed unacceptable by people who care about things like this at the time, too. You could have said all this about Windows 8 or Windows 10 with a retreat to Windows 7 being the prescription. Many people did.

The only message a move like this sends is that if Microsoft moves slowly enough, people will accept basically anything as 'the less user-hostile alternative'.

Whoa this is honestly awesome, a lot of tools I see on the list are ones I’ve been using so it’s great to see they’re getting financial support. Really hoping Ollama joins the list soon.

In the American southwest, the map shows a dense network of waterways around Farmington NM, and extending roughly 100 miles E-W and 150 miles N-S, and a similar but smaller region between the Colorado river and the four corners. I would guess that this is an artifact of mapping, as the area is pretty arid, and perhaps a consequence of these being largely Navajo, Apache and Ute lands.

That argument can be used either way around so it's fairly useless.

In reality we don't have good software development because people at some level or another don't want to do the things that make it possible. They're always going to pretend they care but do what suits them.

It can be from the most basic thing: the customer doesn't want to pay what it really costs to get something good but can be made to pay for something that's going to turn out to be crap in the end.
IME, it's usually a new hire, usually a product person. There's always pressure on those people to introduce changes to increase whatever the KPI metric is, and from their perspective scrum is a great choice. Plus management drools over data/metrics, no matter how much you explain to them that there are serious flaws with the data. You get more of what you measure, and the law of unintended consequence can be a beast. I've seen people come under the Eye of Sauron because they weren't closing as many "story points" as their peers. In reality it's because this person was the best mentor on the team, and the most experienced in the codebase. They spent most of their time pairing and training others, but only one person gets to make the commit and claim the points. That person initially stopped helping people and would (understandably) get irritable when asked questions, and then left the company. Management considered it a win to dispense with a "low velocity" engineer. It hurts my soul to think about the stupidity, especially since they were told numerous times that this person was the MVP of the team, no matter what the metrics said. You get more of what you measure.
Not sure what to say, but do you have friends in their 20s? It’s not exact doomerism, but more of a “if I am struggling, why should I burden someone that I will love even more”.

And again, for a lot of people life can be more fulfilling without having a child as well. The general economy want these people to have children for its own benefit, not for the benefit of the parents.
Strongly concur on Stadia—a product way ahead of its time. As for the Google ecosystem, I don’t have everything Google—I more often go for best-of-breed—but, for the Google things I do have, I love how well they work together. A bit of happiness is taking a photo on my Pixel phone—and then instantly inserting it into a Google Doc right after logging into my ChromeOS device.
I mean, it's Google. At this point it's pretty much mandatory that anything they launch must be killed within 2 years after someone inside realised what a terrible idea it was.

Never trust Google for anything, ever.
First, there was major miscommunication on the part of the new management [1] and who I thought was my manager wasn't [2]. Second, I was raising the alarm that the "agile and scrum" methods weren't working, and got it raised to a VP of the company [3]. He was let go. Did I cause him to be fired? I don't know. All I know, the new VP just said "that's a shame" when I brought up my points. I knew then, it was time to go.

[1] The silliness didn't start until new management took over.

[2] The term "team lead" meant "manager". I didn't get the memo.

[3] I was regularly talking to him at least once a week. He didn't want me to leave the company and to give him time.
That's not how international travel works until you totally leave civilization; no matter who's paying for the trip, you do know where you're going, and each individual has a choice at every border crossing; they can't simply "export" a box filled with people on a plane that's going "somewhere".
Give me some numbers and methodology. You apparently have access to the site, pick the ten top threads about people and tell us how many many post addresses, phone numbers or emails on the first page.

Edit: I went through the hassle of figuring out how to get on that website. I can confirm 2 or the five pages I checked had doxx info on them and agree that kiwifarms does not seem to have a policy against doxxing and in fact has a culture that promotes it. This is bad.
Since "sorting is not necessary", why don't you try:

>> out_args = []
>> out_args[3] = 'foo'

?

And if it's still not clear, pass

magic_kwargs = { 'arg1': 'bar', 2: 'foo', 'arg2': 'yeah', 1: 'not', 0: 'really'}

to that helper you wrote.
Would people change their opinion about someone if they knew or would they just vote along party lines? In some districts it wouldn't matter. The younger generation is not any better, they're entrenched in the same ways of thinking, re foreign policy. The underlying, foundational way of thinking is the same and it's all pretty dismal so having someone old enough to have alzheimers is not any different.
> go on kf and click a few, there's a ton on there. or just look at their _entire forum_ about a trans-woman named christine chandler, in which they document not only her address, but even have photos of her at walmart, game stores, etc

Chris Chan has been a notorious and divisive figure online long before the existence of the Kiwi Farms. They are arguably one of the most well-known Internet personalities.

Merely referring to them as "a trans woman" throws away a massive amount of context why Kiwi Farms (and many other sites) seems so obsessed.

That's actually what Kiwifarms is doing. If you looked at their hosting structure, their providers 1-2 layers up are friends of the admin (one is even posting in this thread), so sending abuse complaints to the hosting provider is dangerous to personal safety. That's why the victims have to go farther upstream to complain to the first reseller who operates in good faith, rather than these fake corporate entities only operated to host kiwifarms.
It doesn't have to be for cheap stuff aka textiles and other plasticky things. But for tech, modern electronics and so on it could go in another directions.

And maybe we stop using these cheap things anyway since they're garbage anyway. Perhaps it's time to re-start building things to last, or at least that's my wish...
> In general, you can't simulate physics on physics faster than physics

You assume that the physics of the simulation are equivalent to the physics outside it. We simulate simpler environments than our own all the time.

Maybe the constraints of our universe are the way they are because it reflects the tradeoffs required to be able to simulate it given the conditions the simulation runs in.
Alas, this is disputable:

> I see no reason why women would ever want children. What's society providing them that they need to make this sacrifice?

What do you think your future holds? If we are entirely realistic, I think in 50-60 years, and perhaps much sooner, we'll almost certainly be dead. On our way out everyone and everything we've ever known will also be dying. Best friends we'd thought would last to the end will fade and disappear long before.

And that's just the start. Because well before the end our bodies will begin to fail, with our minds often enough not far behind. And, without family, a very likely scenario is that we simply end up alone. In Japan there are so many people dying completely alone, often unnoticed until a neighbor or service worker smells the rot, that they have a term for it: kodokushi - lonely deaths. [1] South Korea has followed suit with godoksa. By raising a family we not only get to fulfill our ultimate responsibility in the continuance of the species, but also you in many ways provide some continuance of ourselves. And as you age we will always have family, such that we will never truly be alone in this world.

It seems to me that the masses of people not having children today is vaguely familiar to the masses of people taking out 6 figure loans to pursue random degrees, unlikely to benefit their ability to provide a living for themselves. They certainly know what everybody is saying about such decisions, but somehow think it won't apply to them. And in any case the consequences are so far removed from the present that it can sometimes be difficult to take them seriously, but that doesn't mean those consequences don't exist.

More forced coercion by the back door.

I'm undertaking the hard task of getting myself removed from all govt systems.

So far I cant have my medical records or identity removed from the NHS systems.
If you submit a GDPR request to a GP, you wont be given all records even though its claimed your GP see's everything.

So you have to send multiple GDPR requests to the Hospitals and other places you have been to on the NHS estate over your life time to get your data removed.

Every GP surgery computer system is connected online and is accessible from the internet!

And this also ignores the fact they can lie and claim your data is removed when the law allows every entity to keep data on people for law enforcement purposes.

There is nothing in law to compel any entity to remove data on an individual if its being kept for law enforcement or scientific purposes.

Its a legal slight of hand because it relies on people interpreting the GDPR legislation incorrectly, getting rid of data they have so that the Govt, in particular security services can do WTF they like to people. Nefarious to say the least.

EDID, CTA-861, and DisplayID are the result of decades of piling layers of cruft on top of each other (CRTs, then LCDs, then variable refresh rates), with different data formats from competing standards committees (HDMI vs. VESA/DisplayPort) with different sets of needs (like HDMI/CTA-861 supporting audio codecs and YPbPr/chroma subsampling originally for home theater applications), sometimes coexisting on the same display (this LG monitor has both CTA-861 and DisplayID blocks).
I've been in the libre software movement for about 30 years, and what you're not really coherently talking about has been thrashed to death for a bit longer than that.

I think the case is highlighted pretty well, clearly the representation is less because of continued/historical lack of access.

Seems to be something that should addressed asap because this is clearly holding the Indian economy and social progress back, efficient use of labor and capital is key, seems to me this is an obvious hindrance.

The bit about names is interesting, seems like something that has a hold on society and people go out of their way to conform to it. Like it is subliminal, not externally evident like race so it should be theoretically an easier problem to solve, I wonder if education and economic progress can resolve this, ironic as it is.

I was also talking about the gas coupe. Take a minute and look at it with european eyes:

- it has comparably as large wheels as most euro SUVs

- it looks bulky and square

- it sits comparatively as high from the ground than most euros SUV.

- it is bigger and probably heavier than most euros SUV. [1]

And many manufacturers have introduced the concept of SUV coupe like Mercedes or BMW.

Given these caracteristics, it could just be called an SUV in the euro market. The only reason it is not is because it was introduced to play on the nostalgy of a pony car of the 60's.

[1] I think what of the most sold car in the SUV category in europe is the Peugeot 2008 which is just a bulkier shaped 208 with larger wheels. The 208 is considered a small/compact car. The 2008 is barely bigger and a mustang dwarfs it.
its also a really big misalignment of incentives when prisons can use prisoners as a profit center though their labor. they take away jobs from free people who would have been able to do those jobs and get a (more)fair wage for it

I understand the concept of saving the most characters. If you were designing some kind of compression algorithm or something, that's the variable that would matter the most.

But from a human perspective, I might be wrong about this, but it feels like there'd be a mental tax to typing this way in that you have to deliberately think about your typing too much rather than focusing on the words. I think it's nice to mostly focus on the words.

Even if you get to the point that typing that way is 100% automatic, I'm not sure that this is always a huge win. Imagine being out and about and needing to use a friend's computer for some tasks. All of a sudden, you've got the muscle memory of randomly compressing lots of common words where it doesn't work with the system you have to use. There's a reason almost everybody uses Qwerty keyboards despite there arguably being more efficient keyboard layouts possible.

That said, I'm not trying to dissuade you from doing whatever you want and if it works great for you more power to you.
I have to ask - is that not a thing where you're from? We've had that baked into online banking for years here in the UK. Heck most mobile banking mobile apps even show graphs showing how much you spend on subscriptions, direct debits, shopping, bills, etc.

I never said anything about warfare. I said killing other humans.

Same as this blade has no utility purpose due to its curved shape. Other than killing a human. You can find knife combat videos online that will show the optimal stab points to quickly kill a person using this type of knife. I'm guessing people back in the days had this information as well for the similar blades in the article.

https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C12G/Civilian-reg-C...

I would speculate that simply carrying such a blade openly would indicate to someone that you are familiar with life or death combat and willing to go there if necessary. Open carry has always had the secondary purpose of showing that you are not an easy target.

Agreed. It was an compelling piece of work-showing.

The majority of cases end in a plea deal. Yes, the judge has to sign off, but usually they just accept whatever deal was made (of course the lawyers present it "graciously" and answer any questions so the judges feel involved, but in my limited experience they accept any reasonable ones).

The Biden deal is unusual. It's highly political. The other interesting part is that they still have an active investigation, so it's not like the deal was conclusive (prosecution and defense were arguing on protection from future prosecution in the deal).
Sacrifice is a choice in this scenario. I think, I agree with the OP above, that one chooses to not to make that sacrifice (e.g. lifestyle change). Just the value of the sacrifice has been getting lower and lower every year for younger people.
Personally I always felt H1B visas should be awarded on a monthly auction. Decide how much immigration we want, then let whichever companies will pay the highest salaries get the slots. This guarantees that we get the most valuable immigrants and makes it a lot harder to drive down local wages because low salary bids won’t win visa slot auctions.
Or perhaps Linux et. al. suing Nvidia and others might cause pressure to relax the DMCA. We can only speculate.
Thank you for submitting this and thank you to the authors.

I am curious how this kind of thing can scale. What I'm inspired by this article is the idea of applying multiversion semantics to datastores that aren't multiversioned.

Sounds like if you have a transactionally sound store of "versions" and a way to query every datastore with a version field, you could implement point in time consistency, because the current version would only change when all datastores are updated. You still have to wait for all datastores to be updated, so that part is similar to 2 phase commit.

My understanding is that two phase commit does not scale and is slow because of all the round trips, but we still want linearizability and strong consistency in systems.

I tried to implement an asynchronously replicating data protocol but it is eventually consistent, not linearizable (it fails the Jepsen linearizability test)

https://github.com/samsquire/eventually-consistent-mesh

I'm a beginner in this area but I have a toy multiversion concurrency control implementation that uses Java threads. (See MVCC.java and TransactionC.java) the key statements of code is in commit() and shouldRestart().
