How many times have you said this completely incorrect nonsense? Do you get paid to shill this or are you just that ignorant and egotistical?

We needed to lock down the whole world, shut down the economy, segregate the unvaccinated and burn through the little remaining credibility of "authority" for a virus that wasn't virulent enough to escape through a containment breach from a lab with a history of lax security protocols.

Normally I would ignore you for being an ego-zombie but god damn that's some religious level apologetics.

You keep saying that but that is not how null hypothesis work. You don't just get to say: "this is the null hypothesis and therefore it is true". If the lab leak is in fact false the largest reason it keeps persisting is morons like you ego-captured by being superior to the other side continuously revealing your frightening ignorance.

If your hypothesis is "X" your null hypothesis is "Not X"; your null hypothesis is not "Y".

Why should anyone take your highly aggressive and overly confident opinion seriously when you have such an obvious lack of scientific understanding?

This depends on a healthy office culture which seems to be incredibly rare. If you have a middle-management or executive culture of "if I'm an obstacle then I'll look important and involved" (or any other micro-managing strategy) then you will likely see an almost complete halt to progress.

I would assume that any government office is a complete quagmire of office politics and nothing valuable seems to get done anyway.

Because youtube ads are so invasive, obnoxious, and horrible that as soon as someone experiences their absence they won't want to go back. I wouldn't be surprised if their war on adblock has increased its use.

All of these products that seem to be wantonly thrown into every project all have fancy professionally written marketing pages tailored to appeal to middle managers. Cargo-cultists and frauds regurgitate this marketing material to sound knowledgeable with the bonus of usually offloading all extra, and much existing complexity onto somebody else. That's how they get raises and "tech lead" positions while doing nothing but copying and pasting Javascript from stack overflow.

Is that recycled or "told you so"?

Nah, it's all about inciting assassinations now.

Code review processes have a tendency to degrade to being style enforcement mechanisms for the most office politics member of the team to attempt to be seen. People who have experienced that will likely offer resistance to extremely formal, strict and byzantine code review rules. The same forces that prevent thinking about software security will corrupt any cargo-cult list of checkboxes to fix your security. This is a culture problem, a bureaucracy problem, an office politics problem; this isn't a developer problem.

Not if you put their intellectual property into the public domain. All assets to the state; all intellectual property to the public domain. They can keep the name at that point.

Post-scarcity isn't happening until scarcity is post; that's what the name means. Got nothing to do with culture. You aren't some supreme being for believing everyone should give you their stuff.

Are you honestly trying to argue that moving slower requires more focus than moving faster? I think it would be better if you continued to stay indoors.

That's what makes you a bad person. People much richer than you have decided that your standard of living is too high and their reasoning is not quasi-religious moralizing at all. Welcome to the world of consumer-morality; affording the proper tithes and brand products makes one a better person and divinely justifies one's affluence.

If everyone but the elite live in favelas, per-capita carbon emissions can be lowered and Justin Trudeau can finally be assured of his superiority.

Then go throw a tantrum at them instead of demanding everybody else validate your superiority you insipid narcissist.

That is a nicely concise way to word the genocidal views growing in the political climate tribe. Funny how often climate change is used as a justification for increased wealth disparity and regarding the non-rich public as vermin. But who am I to argue with what science says is manifest destiny?
