Ugh. I've been saying for years that the EU Commission's approach would eventually lead to stuff like this but nobody was willing to listen. The assumption EU bureaucrats and "EU citizens" make is that there are no limit

I live in Europe. People do absolutely care, why would they not. Had lots of discussions about it here. What a weird argument this is anyway, proof by European? What is this?

All government funded work maybe, yeah? It wouldn't make much difference. The consumers of that sort of research are ultimately just pharma companies and they don't use it much because so little replicates to begin with.

Of course it was sequenced by virologists, they're the ones who were there at the start when they let it escape, they're the ones who were splicing cleavage sites into it and developing vaccines against what they'd developed.

They're trying to document a system that wasn't designed with usability or GUIs in mind and they have a perverse incentive to keep Linux hard to use because that drives support subscriptions.

Sequencing is something done by many types of biologist, there's nothing special about virologists there. No, this is a profession that really should not exist at all. GoF was banned in the past without consequence beyond causing them

Who said anything about qualifications? She is a terrible CEO because she knows nothing about web browsers, and clearly couldn't care less about her companies products. Why would anyone ever make a lawyer a CEO of anything except a law

I'm pointing out that simonw's claim about what verification meant wasn't true by the start of the Musk era. Leftists call anyone to the right of themselves a Nazi so your claims about specific individuals are uninteresting.

Originally blue check verification was heavily throttled and restricted only to people who were being impersonated. So it was a mark that you were worth impersonating, being somewhat correlated with being notable, hence why it became valuab

Originally that was true, but as Twitter got ever more woke it stopped meaning that and became blurred with endorsement. From Wikipedia: Twitter faced backlash in November 2017 when it verified the account of Jason Kessler, a neo-Nazi and

Almost total absence of GUIs and proper documentation. A big part of why people pay for AWS and friends is not instant scalability or even the fancy features, but simply because clouds wrap a half-way decent GUI around high level server o

You can configure JetBrains TeamCity to be a service desk and competent issue tracker, it also has a Confluence-style knowledge base in the latest versions.

YouTrack is pretty great. So is TeamCity and they integrate well. The JetBrains instance is open so you can just sign up for an account there and play with it. Also you can run them both on-prem and they're pretty easy to admin if you

Take a look at mkdocs-material, it's not just a theme, it adds some local-side search as well. Still with fully static pages.

That isn't a problem either. It is tautologically true that if corals experience a natural die-off, and then you look at it soon after, the species you mostly see will be the ones that grow the fastest. The other slower growing species

The lesson it's supposed to teach is to be helpful to others, and that disobedience can lead to punishment. A fairly basic part of parenting, employment, fighting in the military or many other things that boys grow up to do.

You're making decisions based on trivial social factors instead of the only salient point, which is that NIST had proven itself to be corrupted in the past when it comes to setting cryptographic standards.

It doesn't actually matter. NIST should not be involved at all. Jesus this is basic, if all they're doing is refereeing a competition there's really no excuse for them to be involved at all.

by nvm0n2 3y ago
It actually doesn't, because NIST needs to speak to and be trusted by more than just a tiny clique. Djb crypto is widely known and used which means they have to deal with him whether they like it or not.
