Completely true. A preprint has the same value of a post in Wordpress. It depends a lot on who wrote it. If the author is Terence Tao and it is abut math, it is probably true https://terrytao.wordpress.com/ All other post must been read carefully.

The value of peer review depends a lot on the journal. There are predatory journals that publish any crap if you pay the fee. And there are serious journals. (And there are some journals in between.)

Anyway, the peer review is not a proof that the paper is correct or that the data is real. It's only a check that the article is minimally inteligible and the result makes a minimal sense. People has published fake data. Some articles are just wrong. (Publishing usually involves a few review suggested by the referees and editors. It is not so easy. But a lot of articles slip through the cracks.)

In a good journal the peer review filter the very bad articles and the bad articles, but there are some articles of dubious quality that has been published. (Some get famous, like the arsenic in bacterias, of cold fusion.)

Most bad preprints and bad articles are just ignored. This part of science is protected by obscurity. The problem is that in this emergencies, any preprint or press release is immediately repeated in all major media, forums, facebook, and whatever other platform is out there. So the bad articles have a lot of diffusion.

> La importancia del cribado periodístico

Just assume there is no filtering by the journalism. Many just start the article with "According to a recent scientific study" and then they repeat whatever the article says.
Well, there is

I agree completely with the goal of availability. I don’t even disagree that static pages could be useful toward this.

What I take exception to is the idea that static pages are the one true way to achieve this goal, and TFA’s pronouncing that not using static pages is irresponsible.

Do you know what CPU WUs/projects are available? I have not been assigned any WU in days so I am not sure if there are any new ones which have been released recently.

But current the covid19 page (last updated mar-10) has the following statement:
"All projects are using the new GPU-accelerated Core22 based on the open source OpenMM biomolecular simulation engine."

You modify the kernel. As for SMIs, you know where SMRAM is located in memory and the cache geometry, so can ensure that there are cache ways available which SMIs won't evict.

Cache evictions can also be monitored by CPU performance counters, so you can detect any that do occur.

I think this is true. When left totally to my own with medium-term or long-term deadlines it's hard to resist the pull of distractions on the web.

But that is also fairly easily mitigated with methodologies like Scrum where you are frequently touching base with other team members. During the daily standup meetings you publicly commit to what you're going to do in the next day, and inform the team of what you did during the previous day (along with any roadblocks you hit, if any).

I don't find myself tempted to YouTube the day away when I know I've told the team I'm going to to X, Y, and Z today and that I'm going to have to stand up in front of them again tomorrow and let them know my progress (or lack thereof!)

> In private offices, you mostly rely on bumping in to someone
> in the lobby for serendipitous discussions.

Collaboration is crucial! If private offices are so private that collaboration is discouraged, then that's a problem that needs to be solved somehow.

> A 3 person team packed in to a private office is likely the best
> of both worlds.

I think I find this to be the worst of all worlds, hahaha. A conversation can be easier to ignore in a wide-open space (where it's part of the overall din) but there's no such aural camouflage in a 3-person office: it's just you, your work, and a noisy-ass conversation in close proximity.
> Why should people that would like some quiet time (which is needed for all of us) have to come in at non-standard hours. That sucks.

Dodging rush hour is a plus for me.
It's also how I feel about the RT-watching population of the US.
>> "...what should your default zone be?"

My default zone should be a team office with a transparent door that shuts (preferably a big, heavy door, so people are subconsciously incentived to only bother opening it if they really need something).

The three-zone scheme sounds nice, but if you give me team offices and conference rooms of various sizes, I'm pretty sure we'll be unstoppable.

NB. I had this exact team-office+heavy clear door setup in my old office and it was awesome. When we moved to the new expensive space, it was just one loud big room, ugh.
I'm working in a 100% Chinese high-tech company, and asked my colleagues: they think it is just a test (that was my first impression too).
Yeah, I always found that ridicule odd. I'm no fan of the guy but it was a perfectly good point (and, in fact, was disastrously proven true pretty quickly).
> First, a federal law called EMTALA requires hospitals to provide emergency treatment regardless of citizenship or ability to pay.

Required emergency treatment is just short-term stabilization, it doesn't include the further treatment which may be medically necessary to provide a reasonable chance of good outcomes. This means, approximately, that without ability to pay, your treatment will stop at the point at which you would be admitted to the hospital from the ER.

Cyclododecan has been the industry standard for vanishing 3d scanning sprays, but as Cyclododecan is no longer available from the textile industry, this kind of spray does not exist anymore.
Aesub Blue is a rather new product from a young German company. I have met the founders last year and they are really professional and transparent. Just check out their documentation.
To be fair, as the product is so new, possible interactions with materials are still not perfectly understood. But from what I have seen, the feedback from the professional scanning community is very positive.
Also a lot of the experience is not transferable.
It does actually, in the context of personal usage. The vast majority of products have no such "after-purchase" restrictions.

Why should a company have the right to restrict what I do with a device throughout its life at such a level, unless I am actively harming them? Should they be able to remove features? Brick devices? How far should that level of control go?

That mindset is going to be the death of general purpose computing within the general public.
It is not a brand, it's when all the capabilities come together in a single package with one general way to do things that you get the benefits. You could do all this stuff with IaaS but there were too many ways and not enough lines in the sand between dev and ops in the IaaS world. IaaS should be considered a legacy approach.
It currently has a performance per watt advantage because of a fundamental design difference (smaller, simpler, many cores) which works great for mobile and can be scaled up to desktop/server rather than trying to scale down x86.
There is an argument that there will be bitcoin banks to act as custodians for people like you. Personally I find it outrageous to not be in control of my own money and would rather set up my own security solutions (how will someone steal from a wallet that has never been connected to the internet, is protected by a password with a decoy wallet, and nobody knows how much I own?)
Okay, that sounds cool.
What I don't understand is that they are screening pilots for weapons, who once they pass the screening, are then given control of the plane, which itself can be used as a weapon.

Because there are often two or three crewmembers in the cockpit. If one of them is subverted and can carry weapons aboard, they can establish control over the cockpit by killing the other crew. By preventing weapons from entering the cockpit, one is preventing this scenario. The problem is that searches of the pilots are easy to circumvent. Simply have a terminal worker sneak in a weapon and give it to the pilot. If this ever happened, the reinforced cockpit doors would very much work against us. This is a very good reason to pay pilots much more than $19,000 a year!
The price isn't that important, as long as it's not so high that it excludes people from using the mail system (when's the last time you tried to send a letter via Fedex? I bet it didn't cost $0.20). The important thing is that we have a public system, accessible to everyone, for distributing important communications -- things like absentee ballots, jury summons, tax forms, etc. Any citizen with a stable physical location should be reachable with this system, and it should be controlled by a public entity, not a private one that can decide not to deliver mail if it's not profitable.
It's important from a practical point of view. If 99.9% of people will consent to a certain government abuse, even if they do not condone it, then the government can commit that abuse and deal offensively with the other 0.1%. If 9% of people will consent to the abuse, dealing with the other 91% offensively doesn't work. This is what civil disobedience is ultimately all about: enforcing a law that most people don't agree with is not a sustainable approach, because there are always a lot more people than law enforcers.

San Diego Airport Authority says you can't film anywhere in the airport and makes further points on filming xray equipment:

http://www.san.org/documents/corp_serv/Codes/Article%207/Cod...

I'm not aware of any major airport that lets you film secure areas, which is the point I'm trying to make - and so that could just get rolled up into a civil case against him. Which is the point I'm making.
I love TextMate but I do feel that at the current pace it is in my best interest to learn new text editors.

There is also something to be said for vim opening a 8 GB file, and searching through it to replace what used to be an unreserved name in a MySQL dump to a reserved name. Most if not all other editors will completely fail.

While at first I was sad that I couldn't just have my TextMate at work (another user just pointed out I can use one license for work and home! Score!) I am also glad that I have learned at least the surface plus a couple of centimetres of what vim is all about and how powerful it really is.
I believe the current policy is strict for international flights (no bag without a passenger, must remove it if passenger misses flight), but looser on domestic flights. Not 100% sure that's true, but digging in some air-travel forums comes up with airline employees claiming the same thing as of late-2009.
I don’t think the percentage of people who won’t opt out is all that important. It would be a nice additional argument but it’s not really essential for the fight.

A few thousand outraged people with good connections, good stories and media that picks them up is sometimes all it takes.
I'm not sure I follow the "Retinal Display" name. Is this just branding on a 300dpi pixel resolution? Or is there something to do with multi-resolution support for apps (those coded in the old resolution will still get up-converted text resolution, it sounded like).

As a very general rule you will tend to find that larger organizations will put more value in certs. Many times the hiring and organizational processes makes it harder for them to properly define and value bona-fide talent.

As a very general rule smaller organizations will not value certifications, and in some cases may look at a person with many certs and little real experience in a negative manner. For these groups having a strong resume of real-world problem solving, and being able to discuss this in detail will be most valuable.

So, IMO, it depends somewhat on what career path you want. If your goal is to stick with government type jobs, then you may be able to turn those little pieces of paper into actual cash. If you're reading and posting here because you desire work in a startup environment your time is probably best spent more hands-on.

First a note: I'm certainly of the opinion that the system as it stands is excessively in favour of intellectual monopolies - particularly when it comes to software patents. I just don't hold the opinion that taking the other extreme is productive.

There's the obvious prime example: drugs manufacture. The cost to research drugs and then test them is astronomical, while the cost of producing them is often very low. Much of the cost of the drug then, pays for the original research. It takes quite some time for the drugs to pay back the research cost.

What, then, is the solution to making money in this sector without intellectual monopolies? Personally, I'm in favour of no intellectual monopolies in areas where the cost of creation is high. Where the cost is lower (new, fast moving industries, for example), IP terms would be reduced or eliminated.

Ex Excel PM here. Funny enough that spec still exists and it's kind of cool to be able to review them. Over the years my experience was that PM got less and less technical which was frustrating. The Excel team somehow had remained one of the more technical teams in Office (probablly across Microsoft) but definitely saw a tendency to hire less technical and more product management (marketing) style folks. The devs, specially the old school ones who had been on the team for 15+ years kept the tradition of ripping specs to shreds (in a good way). I used to tell new hires it's a shark tank you will be fine unless somebody smells blood.
Just one of the usual MRA talking points.
So thats part of my dilemma, I don't think theres much risk at all and I'm a bit confused by talk of risk in the startup world for software guys. The market is hot and I have little doubt I could walk out tomorrow and get a 110-120k job, and maybe a bit more, so the risk is only that I'm gambling the lower wages for the chances of bigger payout.

Seems pretty minor on the risk side for me and I'm not sure how I can effectively argue for more.

False. Abandonment certainly does still exist. There is a large body of widely-accepted case law on the matter. There have even been recent legislative initiatives, both foreign and domestic, attempting to extend abandonment to all "orphaned" works none of which have met with much success to my knowledge.

You should seek relevant legal advice if you have further questions on this pretty accepted point of law. If you wanted to say pursue a suit for damages against an infringer for taking a work seemingly in the public domain that as proper holder you have explicitly abandoned under the theory that "abandonment doesn't exist." I think any experienced attorney would inform you that you face an uphill battle to say the least but it is always about the specifics.

You raised the topic of Berne not me. I provided a quotation to show that the point of material fixation remains the same whether under USC or its treaty obligations. TRIPs leaves it to members to decide what material fixation means. In the US that means a work must be tangibly expressible, in a fixed medium, i.e. copyable.

http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ01.pdf might be less technical and provide you the info you need regarding what generally "suitable" for copyright in the US means:

>>
Several categories of material are generally not eligible for federal copyright protection. These include among others:

works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of expression (for example, choreographic works that have not been notated or recorded, or improvisational speeches or performances that have not been written or recorded)
>>>

In case you don't understand, and please don't be insulted as I hate to be pointing out the obvious, but you seem not to grasp that undeveloped film != negatives. You use the terms interchangeably when that is the very point under consideration, e.g. undeveloped film : negative :: improvisational speech : recorded performance

Others in the thread have argued that exposing film to light : recorded performance meriting copyright, but I think that is tenuous because undeveloped film can not be viewed, disseminated.

Negatives are normally created under the direction of the photographer or her employer in order to disseminate images and are definitely works of authorship subject to copyright. Undeveloped film is arguably not and simply property, and the article is about the purchase at auction or yard sale of undeveloped film. The photographer, being long deceased, is definitely not the one creating the negatives. The purchaser of the film is. I hope that is clear.

Sculptures/architecture are most certainly subject to duplication especially when on public display. Sorry, you seem to be going off the rails here and with "baked-beans on a wall", and I have no interest in following; my interest in the topic has waned.
Sometimes this sort of "lazy" is exactly what people mean when they talk about avoiding premature optimization.
My line of thought while replying to the parent is that if a rewrite is needed, those that are more performance minded, are likely to use a language that doesn't suffer from GIL or a pure interpreter as canonical implementation.

Somehow you can already see it on the interwebs. The majority of Go and Julia users come from Python and Ruby, not from languages that have AOT/JIT compilers on their toolchains.[0]

I just want to say that this is an beautiful example of the hacker ethos being put to use. The creator got into a new field, saw a hole in information, and put together a neat, useful resource. Just perfect.
The only question you need to ask yourself is this: if there is an expression here then that expression would have to move the needle from 'derivative work' to 'sufficiently new creation to warrant individual copyright'.

I don't think that's the right way to view it. Contrary to the common perjorative usage of 'derivative', a 'derivative work' has a full individual copyright. The difference is that that publishing the work might also infringe on the rights of the original. For example, in Cariou everyone posits that Prince holds a copyright to his derivative works. The only question in the case is whether their usage of the original falls under fair use. But whether fair use or not, they remain derivative works.

But the copyright on a derivative work lies squarely with the holder of the original copyright.

We're at the limits of my knowledge, but I don't think this would be the interpretation under US law. Instead, I think the holder of the original has no automatic claim to the copyright on the derivative, but would likely prevail in a suit against the infringer to collect damages. I'll try to research more. Thanks for your followup.

"With a fortune of that size, additional wealth is about little more than score-keeping."

No. I hate this sentiment. Having more wealth is it's about expanding one's ability to act, increasing one's economic influence, and, most generally, being able to shape the world how one likes. This is true regardless of income level. Wealth is never about "keeping score."
