You’re linking a study from early 2021, which is before the admissions began to start. The WHO was dishonest throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, at this point in time this is well-known.

The Wuhan Virology Institute is in the heart of the city, and a quick Google search shows a population of 11 million in 2018. Is this not a large city?

I find it seriously troubling that people still believe the nonsense spewed about COVID-19 and it’s origins in 2020-21.

But not the laboratories doing gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in the exact vicinity of the virus’s origin? Even considering that several workers of this laboratory got sick with COVID in 2019, right before the outbreak? C’mon, it’s been 4 years already, this is becoming ridiculous.

Well, in the instance of this book, you should follow along with the steps that Bob Nystrom writes for you. From reading it, it’s clear you’re supposed to follow along and write code “with him”. He even outlines exactly where each line of code should go, and explains why along the way.
I find it difficult to understand how you’re still propagating the “Wet Market Theory”. Please further explain why you don’t believe that COVID-19 did not emerge from a laboratory.

Upon visiting the website:

  This is most likely because your project has a code error.
  Check your project logs, fix the error and try again

Maybe it got hugged to death?

There really isn’t much to be explained. I’m using the terms somewhat interchangeably because they are essentially the same thing - deep distrust is just high magnitude distrust.

One may distrust their state, but in some regards can still trust. One with deep distrust will likely never trust, their level of distrust is much higher. This does not require a conspiratorial mindset.

Re:The Mythical Promise of Tin Foil Hats on Thursday June 13, 2024 @12:21AM (#40665901)
With due respect, I reused your own example to highlight its absurdity.

That being said, you still haven’t convinced me. I claim I t’s very possible to hold deep distrust without attributing intentions/motivations to conspiratorial actions.

The act of distrusting does not require an assumption of motivations (or a nefarious/secretive plot, as you put it).

An interesting anecdote and counterexample (at least to me): Just yesterday I visited a rather large mall to visit a jeweler for a simple ask, and while standing in the store 3 other jewelers were visible. The jeweler I had visited was unwilling to assist. After visiting two others that were noticed while waiting, I got some help. Was very convenient!
An anecdote: I regularly played Crash Bandicoot with my family while young on a PlayStation, and our device always had disc drive issues. Pretty sure we even went through two PlayStations while playing that game lol. Still loved it!
Now there’s “Overwatch” the game, “Overwatch” the anticheat platform, and “Overwatch” the OSINT platform!

I suppose it is subjective, but I consider about any health problem requiring a professional time sensitive. Time lost potentially leads to damage of one’s most irreplaceable asset.

No, I don’t believe it is. There’s much wiggle room between the two scenarios you painted.

Of course one can have a deep distrust of the government without believing it’s run by lizard people from another planet.

Re:Monads are like burritos (2009) on Sunday June 02, 2024 @04:17PM (#40556929)
Would it then follow that commands/builtins like `time` and `sudo` are monads? What about shell commands in general, since you can always chain together stdout to stdin with pipes?
How come? This doesn’t seem true to me, and your second clause reads like a non-sequitor
This seems likely to me.

Considering the global market share of Windows, there would be a need to roll out such a grandiose service slowly, too.

Likewise. The idea gives me flashbacks to a picture of a teratoma I once saw.

(Nightmare material)

I agree with your sentiment, but traditionally (in the United States) cab drivers are one of the few service providers that one is culturally expected to tip.

A line break in between the two sentences of the last paragraph may have made the commenter’s point clearer.

It seems to be they were only comparing the relatives benefits/drawbacks of glibc and musl, but with the way it is written the pro-musl comment feels out of place.

I don’t buy it. Most people’s interests are aligned within the context of a healthy and functioning neighborhood, and by extension society

Nearly 8 years later and you still seriously believe Trump won the 2016 election via Russian interference? Even after all investigations yielded no evidence?
Re:Who Owns What in NYC? on Saturday March 23, 2024 @11:21AM (#39800587)
This website that is linked (at least) twice on this page, https://www.worstevictorsnyc.org/, is extremely troubling.

Owning and managing rental properties is a business endeavor and unsurprisingly will be treated as such. When a landlord’s clients (tenants) cease to uphold their end of the deal (rent payment), the landlord is well within their rights to evict their tenants to sooner have new tenants that will pay rent.

Putting the most prolific landlords of NYC (and as a result, the landlords with the highest number of evictions) on blast with an evil red hue is disingenuous at best.

Perhaps the site is dated and only applies to the COVID era, but if this is the case then it’s time for the site to go down?
