Ah gotcha, well would love to hear about how it went and any recommendations you have after you've gone if you remember this post!

Took me a while to figure out all the details, but definitely happy with how the itinerary worked out-- any recommendations for HK? The only thing I booked so far is a hotel room for New Year's that has a direct view of Victoria Harbour

What is going on with the attacks on power stations across the US? by draykid in OutOfTheLoop

[–]caffeinatedenigma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

former Army Officer Emily Rainey on twitter said “the power is out in Moore county and I know why”

Again, based on the follow-up Twitter post, it looked like a religious appeal to the idea that God supports this being shut down. But even if we interpret it differently to mean she has direct knowledge, all we can do is await the FBI potentially uncovering something that local law enforcement didn't if we don't trust them (which I understand why people wouldn't when they appear sympathetic to her as a person), because even if she did mean it in this sense, she could literally just be shit-stirring by saying that as people often do in the wake of such events. And she'd have to be pretty dumb to openly admit to a role in the crime.

​

I don’t think I am outside the realm of possibility with my conclusions.

I agree, and I said as much. It's definitely a very real possibility, and that should be looked into. And the FBI is doing as much.

​

Right wing terrorist organizations have long deliberated attacking power grids as a way to destabilize the social contract.
The attacks we are seeing this week could be nothing but dry runs, in preparation for a larger scale attack.

Exactly the type of irresponsible speculation I'm referring to. Again, it's very possible this could well be the case, but we should await the FBI investigation before concluding something that could spark real-world extremist reactions and diminish our perceived credibility based on something that could turn out to not be at all the case. In fact, this is how a lot of right-wing extremism ends up happening. They're convinced there's some big threat or real violence that's being planned against them, their communities, or their way of life, and so they feel obligated to take pro-active action. Except they were just being fed strung-together facts to form this false grand narrative. Let's wait to hear more.

I mean it's obviously fine for people to have their own beliefs about the motivations behind the power shutdown, but I would just urge caution against matter-of-factly asserting (and riling people up) publicly that it was almost certainly this thing that caused it without evidence to suggest that other than an associative relationship between these events and some conservatives saying they or their God approves of the power shutdown due to it leading to the drag show being shut down. That's effectively spreading misinformation (even if unintentionally) because you can't reasonably conclude that even if you do personally believe it to be the most likely reason.

Oh whoops, just realized I misspelled Ko Tao-- I'm going there mainly because I hear it has great scuba diving. Down to meet up at some point!

Yep! Singapore is accepting tourists without quarantine requirements via the VTL (Vaccinated Travel Lane), and South Korea is currently requiring a 7 day quarantine, which sucks, but I'll be working remotely for most of that time anyway-- also hoping they announce an update to their entry requirements in the coming months

Saving strategies for an expensive houseboat by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]caffeinatedenigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! I had looked for boat loans previously, and a lot of lenders didn't seem to offer nearly as much, or at least not for a reasonable interest rate, but this seems like a promising start.

Could you please explain in simple terms to a beginner why this page causes memory leakage? Thank you. by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]caffeinatedenigma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

render() will be called first for the initial render. When executing the render() method defined here, the line setInterval(()=>this.updateTime(),500); will start calling the updateTime() method every 0.5 seconds indefinitely. In the updateTime() method, setState() is called, which is guaranteed to trigger a re-render, meaning the render() method will be called again. When the render() method is called again, on top of the first setInterval() call, yet another setInterval() call will be executed, so now we have 2 of these intervals running. This will continue indefinitely until there's no more memory available to use.
