Same. I'm already long since shortly after the IPO, obviously I wish I invested much more. The passage about fixed bandwidth costs due to relationships with ISPs really resonated with me. Wish I worked for them and was getting those

You're choosing to ignore a whistle blower because it conflicts with your friends opinions, opinions that aren't most likely 1st hand accounts. If you're expecting an organization to just willfully admit negligence or wrong d

Just because you believe them and they're smart, doesn't mean they have all the information. So, you can take the opinion of people that weren't physically present at the lab, or you can take the account of a whistleblower w

Here's a 'conspiracy theory:' I think org XYZ is doing nefarious things because X happened and it's in their best interest to cover it up. See, there's no first hand evidence, there's just raw speculation. A w

There's an alleged whistleblower that says it's a lab leak. Someone that was on the ground and had access to information. That's not a conspiracy theory. Whether or not you believe this person, that's up to you.

We'll never know what happened because the time for properly investigating has long since past. There was plenty of political stonewalling early on. I know I don't trust governments or the media to properly get to the bottom of

I tend to do the same about that other country. Too dangerous to name it, too many lists. What if you're on a flight that gets diverted there? I don't want to end up in a camp.

Not all prisons are the same. The labor camps operate like this, your family member was either not in one of these prisons, or he took the job.

Can confirm. I've seen C-states absolutely wreck performance on certain low latency workloads. In particular, lots of small random writes on a storage cluster.

What this typically means is the team lead thinks they're entitled to do the interesting work, like designing new features, exploring new ideas, and everyone else gets to fix the bugs and implement their half baked ideas. Then the dev

Clearly we need to setup the Social Media Agency and regulate them. We'll staff the agency with high level political appointments comprised entirely of Twitter and Facebook executives. Works for the FDA, anyway.

Except that it is. They were already able to distribute the product under EUA. The push for 'full approval' was entirely political. What's the bar for full approval? Whatever the FDA says it is. Usually that includes conv

While this is technically true, it's only because the FDA abandoned all previous procedure for full approval.

Why do people act like a completely unreasonable plan (and plan is generous) created by the morons in charge was ever going to be followed, let alone work? Garbage in, garbage out.
