I don't think you're being very good faith right now. Clearly a lab studying coronaviruses is interesting. Clearly its possible that the lab could have had a leak. Clearly it's possible a farmer could have wandered into a cav

If a country lied and kept information from the public and had internal propaganda which convinced a significant portion of the population that the US was in fact responsible, and it was transferred from the US to China, I would be quite co

I don't think that's a very enlightened perspective. Maybe with people like Trump in the world who would definitely capitalize on that type of thing to cast blame there is inherent risk, but at least amongst civilized educated peo

In tech it is often incremental changes in the right direction rather than a paradigm shift/rewrite that succeeds. Even if under current technology we are not able to profitably recycle goods, having an obviously detrimental to the env

As a skeptic, why should I believe the regulation is effective? (I am asking in good faith, not rhetorically) Wouldn't one Citadel entity affect the other? In 2008 didn't we learn that some companies are too big to fail (and there

While actual technology used and its effect on failure is an interesting debate, I think the growth curve involved has a vastly larger influence on stability. My potentially wrong understanding is they experienced a ~10x growth in a ~2 week

The context is somewhat important. While 508s were being sent, there was also a significant number of 503s (IIRC). A 503 is an absolute hallmark of something reaching max utilization. Sometimes it's a bad code push that results in memo
