There needs to be a discussion about how China is going to compensate the world for covid19. Given the thousands of lives lost and billions of lives disrupted, it seems unfair and unwise to let the source of the loss escape shouldering the cost.

Why new diseases keep appearing in China

You’re missing my point. Why should the other countries have to keep acting to clean up China’s mess? Shouldn’t China be responsible for that?

Also, given that China concealed the full extent of the outbreak for as long as they could, I disagree that the rest of the world had a fair opportunity to deal with it.

Then they are only paying a small fraction of the mess they’ve created. What about the lives lost in Korea, and Italy, and Iran? Why should those countries suffer because China won’t practice basic hygiene and eats unsafe food?

33 years of frustration here.

You’re almost completely wrong.

Legally, wether you’re an employee or independent contractor matters for everything from the Americans With Disabilities Act through Workers Compensation, not to mention, taxes.

Wether the company offers benefits to hourly employees is largely an internal decision.

How can you not think that what young people need is to spend more time stoned?

That would certainly incentivize pharma to develop the next antiviral, wouldn’t it?

The guy in Washington was near death until Remdesivir was administered. He was released a few days later.

Cool stuff.

Doesn’t this change everything wrt cheating?

What jurisdiction?

If you’re in the US, see Metallica v Napster.

Except that didn’t happen with the Max. The engineers thought MCAS was safe. Nobody in management told the engineers to design MCAS do be dependent on a single sensor with no sanity check and nearly physically impossible to override.

The 777 is the safest of them all, isn’t it?

Man kills parents and begs for mercy because he’s an orphan.

For French, it’s really easy. Use a vpn to get a French ip, and you can watch TV1 - TV5 for gratuit! Avec subtitles en francais.

Do whatever the hell you want with FB, Zuck!

Stop worrying about trying to please the PC police and just run the most addictive and profitable BBS you can. Promote whatever you want and shadow ban whatever.

The Europeons may object, but ultimately in the US the political will doesn’t exist to make you do more. A few politicians like Hawley on the right and AOC on the left may have an issue that works for them, but the American majority is going to look pretty skeptically at any significant regulation.

Not sure where the 42 came from, but requiring the party seeking an injunction to post a bond is pretty standard on a case like this. I would read absolutely nothing into it.

I agree that you don’t want someone with strongly bigoted opinions leading an organization. That’s a far cry from ruining someone’s career because they hold opinions that aren’t approved by a vocal segment of the intelligentsia.

Who cares about what crazy ideas RMS has about assault? If RMS was giving money to rapists I might care. That RMS hangs out in /b isn’t on my concern radar.

I fail to see how being so easily offended is good either for an individual or society. Quick to outrage doesn’t strike me as particularly mindful or consistent with best namaste practices.

> When management makes statements like "we don't need [to pay for] senior engineers here

The problem is that Boeing management never said that. Moreover, the fired CEO was an engineer.

> specific steps to weaken the engineering leadership

What in the world are you talking about? There’s been no reporting of anything like that. The MAX engineers failed all by themselves. No management told them to design MCAS in a brain dead fashion. Nobody “weakened” engineering leadership.

> Should the government prove that it followed the law when investigating a criminal?

They do, but only if the defendant requires them to do so.

What’s happening here is that the prosecutors told the defendant “look, we all know you did it, so plead guilty and we’ll recommend a light sentence. You have a right to make us reveal our tor backdoor, but if you do the plea offer is off and we will have the trial, and win, and ask the judge to send you to prison until you die.”

I’m sure the defendant is very interested in learning about the tor backdoor, but the idea of getting out of prison one day seems a little more compelling.

Reading his rules, it’s hard not to agree with Bob Woodward that many journalists have become “unhinged” over Trump.

Are you trying to hide from the NSA, FBI, China, or Disney?

If you’re a pirate, I wouldn’t worry. Likewise if you’re a Chinese dissident or tax cheat. The NSA isn’t going to blow its cover over Frozen 2 or your $3 million bitcoin wallet. Recent news accounts also suggest that the Feds are dismissing child porn cases rather than disclosing methods.

That leaves espionage and terrorism. If you’re involved in those, maybe going cheap on a vpn isn’t best practices to begin with.

> Even when people make decisions, they're generally a weighted combination of a bunch of "feelings". We attempt to explain a kind of simple, logical rationalization afterwards, but psychologists have shown that this is often a bunch of post-hoc fiction.

Isn’t the first sentence just an example of the second?

Thinking of converting an old trek. Anyone have thoughts on front / rear wheel drive?

If you’re not a Musk fanboy you’re just a hater.
