It's hard for me to say without reading the actual research article, but my guess is that temperature is referring to energy of each of the photons relative to one another. Meaning, if you were shining a laser beam down the z axis, typically the photons would also have some small velocity in the x and y directions (this would mean the light beam is diverging). So looking in a frame of reference moving along the z axis at the speed of the photons in the z direction, you would notice that most of the photons would be stationary in the z direction but are slowly moving in the x and y directions. The temperature is probably referring to the average kinetic energy of the photons in the x and y directions. So in order to get the photons all into a single state, you would want their x and y velocities to all be zero.
That's my guess, I know sometimes temperature can refer to similar scenarios with a beam of atoms. Like with the LHC, they often refer to the atoms as having a very low temperature. However, the atoms are moving around in circles at very nearly the speed of light. With such a high kinetic energy, you would expect the atoms to have a high temperature. But really, the atoms are moving very slowly relative to one another, and thus temperature is referring to this kinetic energy.
I think the way to disrupt that is to come up with cheaper treatments and cures that are equally effective. Come up with a way to replace dialysis, or just make it a lot cheaper and you'll save a bunch of money. Obviously prevention is by far the cheapest solution, but some financial incentives to come up with cheaper treatments might be helpful.
PostgreSQL is way more featureful than MySQL, and the recent parallelization optimizations do add a significant competitive advantage over MySQL. What kept MySQL in the popularity lead for so long, though, was its solid async replication story. It wasn't until fairly recently that Postgres had that natively, rather than by third parties.
Apart from those, I’d suggest to take a look to Integromat. Their “http module” (a UI for a curl-like service) is really handy when you want to interact with a 3rd party service that hasn’t been integrated yet.
I've just pasted some data from Writer into Calc.

Try to paste a table from Writer into Calc so that the structure is converted to rows and columns (like Word and Excel does).

Could you elaborate on your column summation problem please. =sum(E:E) works as does the summation button.

~I get Err:522 when I run =SUM(E:E)~

It works!

Don't understand your third point but if it is text vs numbers and dates etc then I've had plenty of fun with this in Excel as well over the decades.

Me too. It's annoying in Excel, but worse in Calc.

Auto-update - please elaborate where it fails

The built-in auto-updater doesn't so much fail, as hasn't ever worked at all (Mac, but I think Windows as well). iirc I get a %%PERCENT%% placeholder sometimes, and the rest of the time I have to download the update from the website instead. Same on several machines.
One thing missing: the "cryptographic signature" isn't required to be a cryptographic signature by the standard. You need to ensure, by configuration or by library defaults, that the algorithm of 'none' is not allowed, otherwise someone could freely modify and replay the JWT for all time.

Minimum wage affects the pay of people earning close to it. When a business decides it can make more money by hiring better workers, they have to pay more than the competition.

For U.S. banks, add better protection for wire transfers. I had to set up a separate account to accept wire transfers from international customers. After the wire transfer is complete, I shift the money to my main account to ensure no unauthorized withdrawals are made.

I would like a provision that all outbound wire transfers must be authorized by the account holder (me). I don't currently do outbound wire transfers, but if I did, the bank could send out an email notification when one was requested. I could then log onto my account and approve/disapprove it.
I think it's buggy. Some peers don't get data at all.
24 fps is barely acceptable. Forget fast pans and any other fast camera movement. Increasing that number will be hard, though, because over decades we learned to associate 24 fps with cinematic quality and higher frame rates with cheapo camcorders.
I think so too.

With a camera in every hand and an independent (or at least controlled-by-competing-power) news outlet just a click away, all the dirt can no longer be hidden from public view.

Our levels of trust are approaching the level that actually matches the dishonesty of the political and managerial class.
I don't think that it's Authority trust issue at all. I think is communication issue because most of the "misleading" that had happened is a result of oversimplifications in an attempt to communicate very complex issues that require deep expertise to have a theory or an educated guess.

That's in an environment where people demand simple and concrete answers because we are conditioned to pay for something and receive a full service for it has become the norm. Unfortunately, humans are not in complete control of everything, there's no global CEO that leads the efforts and even the most knowledgeable people don't know that much. As a result, services and the information on cutting edge are not spotless.

As an engineer, I've used lots of FEA to solve problems, but if you can't put part of your solution space where it can be approximated by a closed form solution (and there are many more than those shown, which are amenable to solution to appropriate methods), you're going to have a hard time building a trusted model. There's a reason we still have wind tunnels.

The most interesting parts of good FEA (where you've shown your model and reality match on measurable components), is that you can see hidden and unmeasurable variables, which may be design limiting.
Same, but it's largely been that way since the early 90s.

It's weird getting pitches from US FinTechs that are solving problems that literally only exist because of how painfully backward that US financial infrastructure is.

Not only do authors of negatively-evaluated content contribute more

So empty vessels really do make the most noise.

That points to an obvious strategy for improving the quality of comments on any social network site. Clearly, providing negative feedback to “bad” users does not appear to be a good way of preventing undesired behaviour.

I'm not seeing such a strategy from the paper's findings. It suggests several ways to limit bad behavior, but since positive feedback doesn't seem to improve quality of comments or posting frequency, I'm getting the strong impression that the overall tone of an online community is set early on in its life, and while it can easily degrade over time there is not a whole lot you can do to improve it.

So how can unwanted behaviour be stopped? “Given that users who receive no feedback post less frequently, a potentially effective strategy could be to ignore undesired behaviour and provide no feedback at all,” say Cheng and co.

This is pretty difficult to implement, though, since it only takes two people to start a flamewar. All I can think of is very proactive moderator pruning, which would a) become a full-time job and b) creates problems of its own as people start howling about censorship.

You seem to be arguing against the validity of vegetarianism/veganism as
a whole based on the statements of a few vegetarians/vegans. You also
seem to be under the impression that vegetarianism/veganism is some sort
of singular 'movement' that has extreme solidarity and a singular
purpose.

None of this is the case though. People decide to become
vegetarian/vegan for a variety of personal reasons ranging from health
to animal welfare (aka 'animal rights') to religion.

There are a number of movements that advocate a vegan diet (e.g.
Peta) but that is a lot different than what you seem to want to imply.
Your 'strawman' is the idea that vegetarianism/veganism is some sort of
'movement' where everyone believes the same thing and has the exact same
goals. [ What are 'vegan thought leaders' anyways? ]
The issue with them for most vegans is probably that hens are usually kept in inhumane conditions.
A 32% failure rate among venture-funded enterprises sounds wildly low. I'm guessing his data is biased; for instance, he may be over-weighting companies that receive multiple rounds of funding. His data may also count any acquisition as "success"; in fact, most acquisitions aren't (many don't even return investor capital) --- boards often manage to structure wind-downs as buyouts for the sake of image.

I'd be shocked to learn that that failure rate for A-round -funded companies was lower than 60%, where "failure" means "liquidity event that does not beat break-even for investors".

Having been founded and been involved with multiple VC-funded companies: to my mind, the worst thing about VC is that it delays the inevitable. If you can't sell the minimum viable product, you won't sell the 1.0 release. If your minimum viable product requires VC, it isn't minimal. All VC does then is rob you of 1-2 of the most productive years of your life. It creates an illusory high-stakes effort with no payout. It hides the "hustle" part of entrepreneurship (or, worse, outsources it to hired-gun m-teams); if you have hustle, you can get to 1.0 without VC, and if you don't, you fail anyways.
What the article doesn't mention is that, if you back up all of your data to your desktop, you can retrieve it by restoring the phone. You will still lose the corporate data, but you will get back your apps and personal data.

If you are using Exchange at work, I would definitely recommend keeping your personal data (email, contacts, calendar) in a separate account, which the iPhone will seamlessly combine for you.
Do you know of any good links for GAE development patterns?

I've read tips in various comments on various websites, such as use filters instead of GQL, using task queues and handling storage exceptions, but very little in one place :)
There is a different kind of devolution possible, which Wikipedia has undergone. It strongly discourages the masses from lowering the quality.

More users need to be given the right to flag articles. It's risky, and there has to be some learning on the part of HN. The sooner the better, or it will become harder to determine who should best have those rights.
There's something of a bubble still to it. Low interest rates + continued quantitative easing = more cash and credit in the system.

But if we get the wave of mortgage, debt, and business defaults that the Fed and Treasury are trying to prevent, that angel cash bubble may feel the pinch too. They're still fighting it.
Impolite? ... really?!?

Well, I suppose that's one explanation for why so many people in society could be described as apathetic lame ducks :)

Perhaps a lot of people would like to question what goes on in the world, but don't wish to offend.

[..] and more specifically, politics is fundamentally bound to technology.

The fact is, technology is closely linked to politics. If you want to convince me that political discussion is out, I think I'd need more than guidelines re. etiquette to stop me ;)
I was quite surprised to find this in one of the most prestigious journals in the world. Vogelstein is one of the biggest names in cancer research, and no doubt that was the most important factor in its publication.

Some problems:
1. They leave out breast cancer and prostate cancer, two of the most common cancers out there. Most of the dots on their plot relate to a tiny proportion of cancers that people get. Furthermore, breast cancer has a very low mutation rate, which also casts doubt on their hypothesis about accummulation of somatic mutations on stem cells.

2. I ran their data using just the number of stem cells and the number of cells versus incidence. The correlations are still good, about 0.5 for just cell mass and 0.67 for number of stem cells. It's hardly a revelation that a larger more cellular organ is more likely to get cancer.

3. For glioblastoma, a type of brain tumour, their data says that there are 0 stem cell divisions, because it is thought there is no cell renewal in the brain (which isn't even true, but anyway). This contradicts the whole hypothesis, but they still include it in there.

4. The lifetime incidence of various cancers is age dependent. For example sarcomas almost always occur in the young, medulloblastoma is vanishingly rare in the elderly, testicular cancer occurs in young men. Their hypothesis ignores all this, because their model only allows for the acquisition of mutations over time, which should give a unimodal relationship between age and cancer incidence.

5. There are cancers that have almost no mutations. Gene copy number changes are just as important if not more so than mutations. There is very little evidence that copy number changes accumulate over time in stem cells in a random fashion required by this model.

I don't think this warrants much attention in the end. This can join the 100,000 other unverified (or unverifiable correlations) in the cancer literature.
+1 to Elixir and Phoenix from my side. I have yet to dabble with Phoenix but the short amount of time I've spent with Elixir has been thoroughly enjoyable. I can't wait to rewrite chunks of code at work into small phoenix applications.
I'm always a little suspicious of these articles - tech bans also hurt the companies that sell the tech in question. I always have a little feeling that these are submarine PR hits by the companies that sell the tech.
> Twitter doesn't allow for paragraphs, just sentences (and short ones at that). Paragraphs should have an internal cohesion to help the reader absorb the concept being presented. Once you have that, you can start chaining paragraphs together, reordering the sequence of paragraphs, with the goal of constructing a path that the reader can follow through the whole essay or chapter. Getting the order right is important for complex topics, as point D might rely on a good understanding of points A and B, and so on. Your goal should be to make the reader feel smart.

You are describing 'tweet threads' (formerly 'tweetstorms'). They are a popular format for long-form writing on Twitter.
I find the question of ownership to be really interesting for a platform like twitter that relies, entirely, on user-generated content.

It seems to me like share-holder ownership is pretty incapable of dealing with the complexities of being such a global and influential platform. The plutocratic model of 1 share 1 vote and financialization of what is pretty much seen and used as a public service really gets in the way of turning the platform into something that could be truly useful for humanity.

I think we are very much due on a change of paradigm when it comes to these sort of services. What is it that twitter users want, what do governments want (many politicians use twitter as an official means of communication), what do workers of the platform want? All of these stakeholders should have a say in what is done with twitter.

To me, saying "the board is at fault" and thinking it could be better as a privately owned corporation is also missing the target. Of course, I think these tech billionaires think they can make better decisions for everyone and so to them it is obvious that a truly public form of ownership would be a mistake. It's the benevolent dictator story.

To finalise, it would be interesting to see an exploration on technologies that could help stake-ownership management so that we can have firms that are capable of making decisions that make people happier and societies a better place.
"This section shall not apply to a business entity that is subject to the act of December 21, 1989 (P.L.672, No.87), known as the Health Club Act" (in reference to disclosure of material changes to a service)

What is it with health clubs?!
If you are serious about helping people, you'd encourage anyone who is feeling lost and confused to seek professional help. If you can facilitate that somehow, provide people with free options, social workers, hot lines, etc, you'd have something of value.

I still think that putting yourself out there to lend an ear to strangers is irresponsible. Because this is not about someone who you've come across in your life and you have a talk and maybe give some advice, you'd be actively encouraging people to talk to you and that's the irresponsible part. Your intentions may be good, but this is not the right way to go about it.
I'd love to hear some stories! People who failed, false positives, etc.

You nailed it. Ask your stamp collectors how much they are willing to pay for a solution before writing even 1 line of code.

You would need a lot of granularity - wipe business emails but not personal ones, wipe documents that were mentioned your employer, but not your CV, business calls/contacts but not personal ones to workmates?
As I understand it, it's a case of the status quo being less-bad for China than the fall of the state. Right now, they don't have a refugee crisis on their border, mostly because the North Korean state manages to keep a lid on things. If the regime falls, they will.
I do that with my small car and a trailer (Granted, I can only do around 500kg/1000lb on it, but it's usually enough). It's at least definitely worth the economy given how far I drive between every time I need to dump/tow.
Urban person here. Anything I go on a trip or go camping (many times a year), or have to move or help someone else move (unfortunately also many times a year), I wish I had a truck. I'm paying for a vehicle anyway, why not have one that does everything I need?

They are also useful if you own your own business that requires moving things around.

Note that I do not own a truck, I just wish I did.
No, cellular data is not massively over provisioned; but in the era of LTE, I frequently have more bandwidth than stability.

Also, this scheme is not really asking for massively over provisioned lines; we're looking at fairly small data sets with infrequent bursts to larger sets, and an ack from the receiver knocks the size back down again.

That said, if I were implementing this, I would probably implement a sliding window for messages I send (waterfall encoding would work great here, though it is patent encumbered), and add the ability for the client to request a set of messages it missed. This would make the traffic a bit more predictable and offer the server & client the ability to make up for traffic which was lost during its send window.
When he said "near infinite loads" I was thinking more like the Toyota space shuttle stunt which is just something for the internet cheerleaders to jerk off to and doesn't actually say anything about the vehicle's real world performance.

Nobody is realistically thinking this truck can pull more than ~15-20k (and even then it would be a short distance and no hills type of trip because of cooling limitations) with the acceleration/braking distance/handling we expect in this day and age for vehicles towing things on public roads.

What if the inventor couldn't get funding to do the research, because nobody was willing to pay for the product?
It is important to know that this scheme is NOT foolproof without further evidence.

If one or more depositors are collaborating with the exchange owner, the owner can simply not include their balance in the "proof", but make an agreement that they would be paid first from the exchange's pool.

The exchange can still be insolvent without proof of all of the total deposits made in all accounts at the exchange. If depositors collaborate to hide their balance, this is very difficult.

Same. From what I've read so far (only partially through the paper) a lot of this is what we already know, but with more evidence for the claims. Really helpful for those of us who continue to combat depression on a regular basis.
Is this more like TotalTerminal or dmenu?
If a lot of depression's hows/whats/whys were "obvious" this article would not be included in the journal's "Current Controversies in Psychiatry."[^1]
