They’re instituting this for the generation that grew up with Vpns so they could watch pirate streaming sites on their school Wi-Fi? Good fucking luck.

Always an impressive operation they have one peering point in San Francisco and their data centers historically consist of a church and shipping containers.

precious hamburgers?

There’s a whole lot of bullshit going on around this story. People are acting like she violated national security interests, but they can’t articulate how. Like she shipped ebola to wuhan, but she wasn’t fired for that because cooperation with high level labs is kind of important (and I’m sure wuhan already HAD a sample of ebola before she even shipped it). The findings she shared would’ve been shared eventually(and the reason it started a kerfluffle is because China shared them and included her in as a co-author in a paper and included her in patents for ebolavirus treatments). You can still say she was working “against Canada” if you really want to twist it, but that’s not really what happened. She violated policy and got fired, then said the firing was unjust. The potential damage to Canada comes from intellectual property interests but there’s not much money in treating Ebola in the first place.

Researchers working at the National Microbiology Lab on cutting-edge, high-containment research are not allowed to send anything to other countries or labs without the intellectual property office negotiating and having a material transfer agreement in place, in case the material sent leads to a notable discovery.

I sure hope people are sharing this research with Zimbabwe. They’ve got endemic marburg virus to deal with. The frank truth is, for something like Ebola, sequencing it isn’t going to change how you weaponize it. You weaponize it by breeding it and then blowing it up at low heat so it spreads over a large area. Any contact with it leads to infection, it’s a nasty bug.

This is different, than say, anthrax weaponization. You can go to cattle farms, dig in the dirt, and culture it, and you will eventually isolate anthrax. That strain, however, won’t really go into spore form well and won’t be super pathogenic. You’ll need to infect a bunch of sheep with it and try to get a better strain, like they did in my hometown at Ft. Detrick. Then you use specific drying methods to make it turn into weapons grade spores. That’s why specific strains are important with anthrax and you could theoretically use something like CRISPR to make your own that’s better than what you can find digging in the dirt.

I seriously cannot parse these two statements

The document show the service had a more rosy initial assessment of Qiu’s motivation, noting in spring of 2020 that she could be “susceptible … based on the belief in the power of science to help humanity.”

But as the investigation went deeper, CSIS’s concerns deepened. A few months later, CSIS wrote Qiu was using the level 4 lab in Canada “as a base to assist China to improve its capability to fight highly-pathogenic pathogens” and “achieved brilliant results.”

They’re the same picture

Like I get it, you want to secure medical research. And she was likely inappropriately sharing unpublished data against lab policy. But the tone shift they’re trying to make doesn’t connect for me.

Hey, we need a robust serial connection to our cartridges for checking ink levels. Nothing more basic would do. /s

No kidding. “We’ve allowed our cartridges to arbitrarily execute code. It’s the user’s fault.”

That’s less entitlement and more “trying to create the community they envision”, though. It’s entitlement if they feel like they deserve users after fucking around. Mods, or really any online community leaders, can do whatever the fuck they want as far as I’m concerned.

It’s just meta promotion. I don’t know the specifics of their rules, but it’s the type of post I’d remove as a mod. I’d remove most meta posts.

I likely would’ve removed the thread for being offtopic, but not permanently banned you.

Sure, but there’s just not enough cabin space for what folks are trying to do now. Doesn’t help they redesigned the cabins to fit more seats.

He’s comparing it to back when folks would regularly check bags and not pack clothes in a carry on.

In the states, it’s actually usually integrated except for nursing homes(continuing care in this model) and to a lesser extent behavioral and addiction (though that’s often integrated with acute care). In many places a single metro organization (like hopkins, frederick health, and meritus in maryland) will have all the other legs.

Being spread out just makes it harder to administer when private because you don’t have the whole pipeline to control.

Seems dumb. Care is provided through collaboration of those entities and is generally local. This sounds like it will function fine for the areas of the province without access issues, but throw those with access issues under the bus.

The front fell off.

3 thousand dollars for synthetic knit? Jesus Christ we’ve lost our collective minds

When I say floor I mean you’ve been assigned a bed out of the ER department. I once said that to a new diagnosis type 1 diabetes kid in the peds ED and she thought I meant we were going to make her sleep on the floor, lol. Boarding in the ER on a stretcher for days is unfortunately common in the US.

Before getting a floor bed? Shit you can do that in the US.

He lived in Polish Ukraine at the time. Still not excusing fighting for the Nazis.

You kidding? The NDP has always been my northern light. I grew up rage reading about Harper.

I didn’t realize speakers were MPs. (Dumb American)

Man, what a load of corporate bootlickers in here

Lol.

I think the last one that was worth it was the orange box.

From the interview, all the artists originally used free stock art as a base in the first place. They’ve just expanded their… breadth.

I actually think this brings up a good point. Artists they hire for these tabletop game jobs will end up using AI to create a base image or backgrounds and edit it for the project one way or another. They’ll do it to increase their own output and income.

Edit: And guys like this will pay you less to extract more profits from you with that in mind of course.

The company name is indie game studios. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepublisher/39914/indie-game-studios

Idiotic. They argued that it was two separate instances and the trial court agreed. His trunk was a second location than his car since the person wasn’t overdosing in the trunk, lol.

Folks are very much underestimating how much this formula change will make the product useless. VOCs are the active ingredient in WD-40. They are what makes it work. Penetrating oil is a VOC because solvents are what allow it to penetrate. It’s why WD40 has such a distinctive smell. Their alternative formulation will be garbage.

In the end people will be making their own with starter fluid and acetone which will likely be exempt from the ban despite being VOCs.

Edit: Folks seem to think it’s the propellant that’s what’s being regulated. It’s not. It’s the volitile organic compounds that allows it to penetrate. Seems they’re mostly reducing them instead of banning them, which we’ve already done in many states.

He complained the judge wouldn’t rule on his motion to dismiss. The next week the judge denied his motion to dismiss. The sanctions request was filled yesterday, so they haven’t responded yet, but we do know that whatever they send will be taking advantage of the “excess pages” rule that their lawyer was too stupid to abide by when they first submitted their motion to dismiss and got it stricken twice. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63296393/coomer-v-lindell/

Boarding in the ER is not uncommon in the states, but we don’t often leave them for days in the hallway.

Don’t they get all their damn lumber from Canada?
Edit: looks like they stopped doing that in 2011.

The mansion level is the most fun I think.

Conscientiousness is one of the big five and is very well modeled.

The key thing is, their license model and walled garden policies are what created the problem. Wringing their hands when something they knew would happen happens isn’t admirable.

Both countries depend on jingonists for political control. Neither, however, are entirely run by them.

You have to decide if you have a duty to follow licensing agreements or not. Most folks here do not believe they do.

Sure, but first amendment issues and generally proving something is not sincerely held seems difficult to me. The former is something appeals courts will decide while the latter is something a jury will decide.

Not further charges but it can be referenced to furthering the conspiracy for the RICO charges. Overall that is a hard case to figure out though.

Listen buddy, if we get artificial general intelligence the last thing we gotta worry about is it reading the paper.
