Do you hear that? The sound of no real evidence and just empty accusations?

I can freely admit we will never have 100% confirmation either way, only probabilities but we have everything we need to explain zoonotic origin and we have to take in a bunch of wild assumptions to make lab leak work. We dont even have any outside the market clusters.

If you want to believe lab leak go right ahead but you cannot sit here and act like your evidence is strong and certainly not stronger than zoonotic, thats a lie. The OP certainly can't claim Nature did some wrong by going where the evidence goes.

He beat the odds, good on him.

The most successful people I know all went to college. The least successful people I know all thought a high school diploma was good enough, and that they'd be able to just bootstrap a career like their Boomer parents might've done, or start their own businesses (and they ended up on the wrong side of that 90% statistic, no surprise there).

There's only so long you can live in your parents' basement. Eventually they'll be forced to get real jobs, and when they realize that college is still necessary for everything that doesn't beat your body to into an early grave or pay fast food wages, then comes the surprised Pikachu face.

I think you're confusing the knowledge gained in college being a prerequisite to understanding how to do the job, with landing the interview in the first place. If the education section of your resume ends at "high school diploma", any employer that pays better than the wages of barista at Starbucks is just going to shitcan your application without even looking at it.

The major exception being physically demanding jobs. Want to crawl through attics, work on a fishing boat, or a filthy oil rig? Yeah, that'll be happy to have you, but the feeling might not be mutual.

Plus you'll learn a bunch of stuff that you otherwise won't unless you are an incredible autodidact.

I've known a couple of people like that, bit "be amazing" isn't really a general purpose solution!

Statistically speaking, you've only got a 10% chance of your business lasting more than a decade, and 70% of small businesses fail within the first 5 years. Finding success as an entrepreneur is the exception, not the rule.

It's using UE5, so I'm not sure what you're getting at here? That it didn't need the new engine? That UE 5 is worse somehow?

Also, they can't drop the cel-shaded look, it's part of the character of the game. I'm not sure what they would transition to--more realism? That would be weird.

It's been five years and all the evidence has been pointing away from WIV and towards zoonotic. At the very least in 5 years you are no closer to disproving zoonotic.

If you think you got more information there's $100,000 up for grabs. Once guy already won it by really just slapping down lab-leak for like 12 hours.

So maybe Nature keeps it's good reputation and you can stick with RFK Jr as your strongest advocate. Good luck with the monster man.

No autopen but at every EO signing someone on his staff has to explain to him what he is signing, then he nods and says "Wow, that sounds important". Stable and definitely not losing his grip on reality!

Ahh i forgot Allen and Gates didn't meet at college but at their private prep school and they also took advantage to access to early computing systems at Univisity of Washington and Gates had some other family connections that also got him early access to computing systems of the time.

See, don't go to college kids just be born in particularly lucky circumstances.

I mean Jesus Randy just use UE 4 and call it a day. We didn't need realistic sunlight in borderlands.

All of it published though, the initial data, how they got it, informing people that it will be revised with other data and how they did the revisions. We don't have to make up some arbitrary vibes check about how much.

There are no secrets here so we don't have to allude to any. If we feel the BLS can perform more accurately maybe we should fund them more and with different legislative directives and not slash their budget and sow doubt on their already well established methods because you don't like the numbers.

We have to be willing to accept that we might be seeing unprecedented revisions because we are in a time of unprecedented economic actions, in the past 40 years of economic data have we had global 10-20% tariff rates and nations targeted with 20-200% rates, rates that are also changing month to month?

Is this actually true? I know we have some high profile examples in history but even amongst those like Gates and Zuckerberg while they didn't finish college they started their companies with connections made in those colleges. Pretty sure guys like Thiel and Sacks and Andreesen all have degrees, some multiple. I feel like this is a meme more than actual truth.

Also I think the more interesting statistic would be amongst those billionaires and millionaires how many of them make sure their own kids go to college and the best college they can possibly attend. That i would bet has a pretty high hit rate.

And since AOL gave us the Eternal September, the timing, at least, make sense.
