Anything below the current definition of FCC fundable rural broadband (100Mbps by 20Mbps) is slow.
This is why the FCC doesn't want to pay out the $886 million in rural connectivity funds to Starlink, they are already providing substandard connectivity, and could easily end up like Hugesnet or Viasat's overloaded networks.
That's not slow. What's slow is the 1.5mbit DSL that I was stuck with before. Starlink is a godsend for people with no options but shit DSL. Starlink would be a godsend for me even at 10mbits. And I know the same is true for millions of other people. Wireline providers have stalled here for the last 15 years.
Azov battalion was a Nazi regiment until it was in our interest to overlook it.
Google CNN's coverage, a few months ago, then compare to now.
One planted Nazi flag made the media paint all the Canadaian trucker as Nazi's.
Yet, we are arming people who proudly claim to be Nazi's.
Of course, all of this is Russian propaganda, and you will be banned on Reddit, Facebook, and other outlets for having inappropriate thoughts, if you were to doubt the narrative:
I don't think there's much direct evidence to support natural spillover event other than that much of the initial spread could be localized to a wet market, which may have had vendors selling meat from animals known to carry these types of viruses. That seems like pretty weak evidence, though. Other than that, IMO we should have very high prior weight assigned to the natural origin hypothesis in the Bayesian sense, so even without new direct evidence it's still reasonable to believe that hypothesis to be more likely.
About 60% of all diseases is the result of spillover, and that's only the part that we can trace. The null hypothesis is that this was a spillover, anything else requires hard evidence, not the other way around. There are numerous recent cases of documented spillover, but there isn't a single documented case of a lab leak leading to a major outbreak.
The people that keep pushing that angle are usually not in this for the science but to stoke the fire.
Why does either option not require hard evidence? I don’t understand your distinction. Something that happens 60% of the time is almost a hard guarantee that’s that what happened now? Really?
You also ignore all circumstantial human behaviour around this, like China being completely unwilling to cooperate in any way in the investigation. Why? Surely if it was definitely a spillover they would cooperate because it’s not exactly their fault?
That is a gross misreading of what I wrote. 60% is the pathogens for which we can even after a very long time trace their origin to a spillover, but the numbers are far higher than that, we just don't have the proof.
Hard evidence is required for exceptional cases, especially when culpability is involved. Whereas the 'natural' way may simply not have left enough evidence at all to be able to trace it.
Just restart your kernel if you think something spooky related to state is occurring. This is the number one criticism I see of notebooks, but it is so easy to deal with if you are aware of it. The benefits of being able to rerun an isolated part of your code far outweigh the harms IMO.
Why do you believe the next will be worse? Covid is already a global pandemic and will likely reach a majority of the global population before going away.
Here's an example of what's wrong with my state management system:
- Let's say that state A places the teapot at position X.
- Now let's say that we need to transition to state B, where the teapot needs to be placed at position Y.
- Since both states share the same teapot, and since the teapot stores its own position, it's as if its position is a global variable, so both states needs to maintain variables external to the teapot where they store its position.
Now imagine the same situation, but with dozens of different variables. It makes the code difficult to understand and maintain.
One way to fix that problem is to give each state its own teapot. By not sharing certain objects between the different states, the code is simplified enormously. But I made the decision to share things to reduce memory usage.
When I come up with a solution that I'm satisfied with, I'll leave a comment here!
