The idea that the bat population is local to Wuhan is a misconception. The bats from which the gain of function research studies are being done were collected from Yunnan province 800 miles away, not locally in Wuhan. They still have not be

Thanks, I’ll have to read about this more. That makes sense, gives you system to precisely describe particular pronunciations I guess. TIL :)

I can’t be the only one to click on this to be disappointed it wasn’t a website about beer! I wasn’t really aware of the IPA, is this mostly used for teaching purposes when learning a new language? As far as people learning English as a sec

TLDR: There is no actual talk or details of how the future without passwords would look or work. It’s just a blog post about Google patting themselves on the back for how ‘awesome’ they are at keeping your passwords safe, and promoting some

By the way, I meant to say it’s an area of science that is not very well understood. Sure the concepts of connecting computers to our brains have been around for a long time, but these guys are actually trying to do it, and pioneering mod

I'm not sure why this really matters? As someone who is personally indifferent to Elon, this is not very interesting. To Elon detractors and people who want to see him fail, it just seems like an opportunity to 'dunk' on him

I’m not sure I understand your point? My understanding is the intended users of Salesforce are most certainly the sales team . And I say this out of experience with using it as part of a sales team at a car dealership I worked at years ago

Yeah Elon is a controversial & polarizing figure, personally I try to not pay too much attention. I’m indifferent to him. But regardless of anyone’s personal opinions of Elon, the results speak for themselves. I think you have the right

SpaceX, BO & Dynetics all started on the same level playing field. To act like there hasn’t been competition is kind of weird. There has been and still is competition, and we have witnessed the results. SpaceX has simply proven to be su

Yeah this article is terrible, seems like they just wanted a chance to make fun of Elon. But let’s be real, SpaceX was chosen for obvious reasons. Blue Origin and Dynetics are upset I’m sure, but nobody believes they can pull this off by 20

This is my favorite comment of the day! Kudos :) I don’t care if it gets downvoted by guidelines lawyers

I’m not sure I get your point? Best case you get government subsidies? What are you referring to? Worst case? I think I can think of a lot worse than ‘nothing’.

Well, my intuition tells me that the ‘pool’ will always be there. I’m not sure it’s dried up, I think it will always be there for one reason or an other. And it doesn’t seem like the job pool is drying up either. From what I can’t tell ther

It makes me sad that many of the prominent boot-camps now have such a bad reputation, and seem to be run so poorly, or recklessly. I feel lucky to have enrolled at, now defunct, The Iron Yard at it’s peak in the end of 2016. I owe them ever

Except Gwyneth and friends are emulating Rogan’s ‘model’ and applying it to the female audience. Rogan and his style of broadcasting were around for almost a decade before Goop decided to start podcasting & make a TV show. Pretty smart

Yeah, you are pointing out many of the notable edge cases when things went south. To be fair, Tesla autopilot is not technically ’self driving’, and Elon still refuses to call it that. The driver is still expected to be alert and monitor th

This is an awesome article! I bought a Chargriller smoker last year and finally got into smoking meats. I’ve always loved BBQ and learning how to do it myself has been so fun. It’s a great hobby to get into, I highly recommend.

Sorry if I was rude :) As you said you have driven your brother’s Tesla. That’s impressive that the Honda tech has gotten that good. I’ve driven many cars with lane assist and some are better than others. You mentioned ‘bouncing off the lan

Hey fair enough. I’ve driven many cars with lane assist and some are better than others. But they are not meant to be used like Tesla autopilot is. My girlfriend’s 2021 Outback has pretty amazing adaptive cruise, that will come to a compl

by 40four 6y ago
Respectfully, if you think lane centering plus adaptive cruise control is ‘basically the same’ as Tesla autopilot, you should look into a little more. Lane centering does not allow you you totally take you hands off the wheel and let the ca

This is very surprising to me honestly. Yeah, folks have pointed out some of the big players, but none of them have really risen above the competition. You would think NodeJS would have a clear cut dominant, monolithic web framework by now

Alive and well. And if you haven’t seen the surrounding laravel ecosystem in 4-5 years I think you will be quite impressed. The amount of 1st party integrations and side projects is amazing. https://laravel.com/docs/8.x

I’ve never touched Zoom and nor will I. Thanks for the rude assumption though, you can jump off that tall horse. I don’t use Keybase much anymore but for some fun stuff. I still find the the file system useful. Sounds like you will be quitt

Trust in regards to what? It’s an encrypted messaging app. I presume that’s why you, or any other user has chosen it. You trust your messages are secure, and nobody unintended can read them. What are you suggesting? Are you afraid they will

I don’t use Signal, nor do I really know much about this situation. But on a quick glance, it sort of reminds me when Keybase added Stellar Lumens wallets. Of course, a lot of the friction with Keybase & Stellar was due to the magic ‘ai

Fair point, I had honestly never read the docs page on restore. But , I still have to disagree. They may not have landed on the final shape of the API, but they are clearly encouraging people to use restore for this purpose. There is no ‘w

Ok, I re-read your command, and realized you’re doing ‘checkout’ minus minus period (to be explicit). Honestly it had never even occurred to me to use the period there, but it does work :) I always used it for single files. As we said in ot
