My org lost a few people to Intel. They all did their research and know full well the technical and managerial leadership at Intel are total clowns and that Intel is finished.
So they are going to rest and vest. They all know Intel is finished but the short term bump in pay is quite attractive for people who want to take a break.
You need to be in the business. I think every drawing uses new numbered balls, maybe go for the supply chain if you can't get in the lottery organization itself.
The US should mandate every gunshot be accompanied by a loud ultrasonic tone that can easily identify the occurrence to any recording device. The tone could eventually be modulated with the guns serial number.
How would that work anyway? It's not something someone would notice you disabling when you go to the range, unlike full auto/DIAS conversions and short barrels where someone might notice, you literally can't notice unless you have an ultrasonic detector. Are there going to be ATF agents hanging out at ranges trying to see loose wires hanging out of people's guns or guns that don't produce ultrasonic noises when fired? I assume that's not going to happen. Anyway, it's not legal to ban guns without the ultrasonic speakers anyway, because there's no way the military is going to have ones that can't be turned of on their guns. No historical precedent for anything like that either, and ~all of current guns don't have ultrasonic speakers on them, so the Heller "common use" thing is there as well.
If I’m understanding your reply, you seem to think that it should be obvious to anyone with an understanding of how guns work, that this idea wouldn’t work/isn’t feasible/is a bad idea in some other way. So, wouldn’t it be more productive and informative to state that opinion and support it?
It’s a lot like saying knives should be required to emit such a sound. A knife is a purely mechanical device, there’s no good way to require an electronic device in a way that won’t be ripped off by every criminal immediately. In the same way, you can’t DRM trigger pulls.
Further, this loud tone would require enough power that you’re talking about replaceable batteries. Those batteries can be removed.
Yeah, it sad to think we have 100 f*cking think tanks endowed by billionaires that serve mainly to drive wedges into our democracies, yet nothing like that for PL geniuses that I'm aware of.
I talked with the SQLite team about a year or two ago and IIRC there were four people working on it (including Dr. Hipp). I believe they were all full time but I didn't ask.
There's fleetingly little evidence of anything aside from a natural origin. This could be consistent with a natural virus collected at the WIV which subsequently escaped, but the multiple lineages at the market makes this extremely unlikely as well.
All conclusions are weak because all theories are at least possible and there is no conclusive evidence. Instead of accepting we will never know, people will now tell you with 1000% (1e4) certainty that it was definitely X. They will queue to die on whatever hill their brains have randomly selected. It's like lemmings only they don't actually do that.
>I wonder how many people who are seemingly willing to believe the self-serving CCP party-line on this, would be just as believing of the owners of a nuclear power plant in their town, once the drinking water became radioactive, claiming "it didn't come from the plant, someone else down the street must have done it" - that is just about as believable as this.
Absolutely sure the CCP are lying (I don't trust them either but that's not proof they're lying is it?)
Another comment here:
>I don't believe this to be true. I consider the likelyhood that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the cause of this to be much higher than that the seafood market in wuhan was the cause and there's no reason to trust any media or NGO to be truthful in that regard.
Literally "I don't believe the facts".
That's just this thread, on HN.
It's really concerning, or it was when I thought people could be self governing. /EdgyBS
>there is no reason to trust any media or NGO to be truthful in that regard.
So if there are facts, you cannot believe them and OP doesn't.
And Second:
For arguments stake, let's assume that is correct and there are zero facts. So what can you conclude?
Nothing! It's possible there was a lab leak, it's possible there wasn't, we just do not know. That would be a fine conclusion.
So why has Op decided one possible conclusions is "much higher (probability) than" the others?
We don't know if there is a god or not. So concluding one particular religion is correct is dumb. The same applies to people claiming one theory or another is right re Covid Origins.
That is where the disregard for (lack of) facts comes in. If you don't know, you don't know; you don't get to decide with certainty what reality is because looking is too hard.
To be fair, if 100 years ago some scientist wrote a paper about how being a certain race made you more prone to violence or how lobotomies are safe and effective.. there would be people saying you don't believe the facts of you don't agree. So, before you judge people maybe reflect on history a little and see that people have reasons to distrust government. A single paper doesn't prove anything. It must be reproducible throughout the scientific community.
That's the weird thing. 100 years ago I'd have doubted that. Some people would have been sure it was 100% accurate and others that all medicine was just nonsense.
And we're in the same place now.
Because people 100% believe things based on zero evidence.
I work full-time with Rust, use it all the time to see how much memory is being allocated to the heap, make a change and then see if there's a difference, and also for cache misses:
valgrind target/debug/rustbinary
==10173== HEAP SUMMARY:
==10173== in use at exit: 854,740 bytes in 175 blocks
Not used it with Rust, but have used it with OCaml, Perl, Ruby, Tcl successfully. In managed languages it's mainly useful for detecting problems in C bindings rather than the language itself. Languages where it doesn't work well: Python and Golang.
