   Sure but what if it just isn't knowable?

   Well we stopped looking for it though

   The limit is five why's and often you can't even get that. Planes still crash. Perhaps we've pulled on this thread as much as we can. Especially with long ass articles like this that say nothing new. Seriously, what are we ex

   I agree sort of with this sentiment, but it ultimately doesn't matter even if it is that china is covering up their bioweapon accident just like anyone might. We'll never know, and we don't need that to hold them accountable

   I don't think it is ultimately knowable in a way that is helpful. We need to act as if any of the possibilities happened because any of them could. I guess I also don't see why articles like this are needed to work on pandemic pre

   I am trying to say that either it leaked or it didn't, but that we'll never know, but that it doesn't matter anyway.

   What secure labs don't work on dangerous viruses? I guess I now wonder about your correction heh.

   We can and should do that anyway, why do we need a smoking gun, I mean, beyond the pandemic we had.

   This article literally explores and lays out theories about how potentially events and people could've conspired to our present day. I don't think that is intellectually helpful.

    Why not do something about this directly. This lab leak wild goose chase isn't required.

    That article says the first thing you said but not the second.

    Lol. If the treatment of their own people wasn't bad enough and it took a pandemic conspiracy theory to hate them, then I feel like you need to read more.

    Sure yes, that is a fair point, but this conversation doesn't ascribe that kind of limitation in the argument, because we're already talking about other motivations. Maybe (probably lol) they were negligent, maybe it was an accide

    And they should ban throwaway accounts too which you can also see spreading more conjecture.

    I don't side with them, I side with reason. 1. Lab leak hypothesis being proven is not a requirement for any kind of prevention 2. If everyone was honest all the time life would be roses 3. These lab leak articles don't make anyon

    Yes exactly ... If you can't prove the lab leak stop writing articles about it, people.

    That's the very point I'm trying to make about this dubious article and all the people posting conspiracy theories here. How can we say they aren't trying to cause xenophobic feelings?

    Protect them from what? Being blamed? What does that do except stoke fear? There are actual things to talk about like their aggressive naval horseshit why do we have to make them nefarious mind controllers or secret world saboteurs or whate

    Sounds ominous but also completely devoid of useful explanations, blame, or actionable knowledge.

    Sure, but the article is implying there something new that actually would have some kind of bearing or meaning.

    The path language is somewhat a standard (lol) but is very similar to HPGL, glyph definitions in fonts, GCode, or even Logo and reading it is not a requirement.

    I've had a lot of luck with sodium alginate... An acquaintance mentioned doing diaphragm / breathing exercises helped him.

    It always seems like this kind of thing will suffer from accessibility issues?

    Firefox uses RDF internally. Chase Bank uses it presumably.

    I was hoping for an open implementation of the protocol and a software radio based implementation from someone at some point. I know the hardware is cheap but seems like having an open protocol would be best.

    Wouldn't actions like this make them even more liable for the activities on the site?

    I use Wireguard and love it, but do we risk good features not becoming just as open and able to be self hosted with services like this?
