This is a really sloppy article with a number of factual errors:

1) there is not "a vaccine", there are SEVERAL, each with different spans of effect.

2) "a vaccine with no serious safety issues, that prevents cancer."
Um no, not nearly that simple. Not all such cancers are caused by HPV. What would be true to say, assuming perfect efficacy, would be "a vaccine with no known safety issues (true enough: since it's a genetic vaccine, unlike an influenza vaccine) that prevents cancer caused by an HPV strain that is targeted by the vaccine IF the full course and schedule of treatment is followed."

3) "Human Papillomaviruses cause several cancers, including the cervical cancer that kills 4,000 women each year." Actually, cervical cancer can occur absent any HPV infection.

4) "Most people get the HPV virus" is wrong. Most American women show exposure. Not the same thing.

---

The problem with HPV vaccines is not in the science, it's in the marketing. If you were a parent who followed the "expert" instructions from the beginning, here is what happens:

1) You have your child get Cervarix. Then get it again a few months later. Then again a few months later. OK, great, now that all that money is spent, she is protected, right? Um, not exactly. She is protected from Types 16 and 18 (assuming perfect efficacy).

2) Gardasil comes out. It protects against four strains -- the course of treatment you've already paid for and executed over 6 months is already obsolete. Now, you do another course of 3 injections over another 6 months to add protection from Types 6 and 11. Now, a year, 6 shots, and thousands later, she is protected from 4 types.

3) Gardasil 9 comes out. It protects against nine strains -- the courses of treatment you've already paid for and executed over 6 months are again already obsolete. Now, you do another course of 3 injections over another 6 months to add protection from Types 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. Now, a year and a half, 9 shots, and more thousands later, she is protected from 9 types.

But there are 13 types that we know of that cause cervical cancer alone; other subtypes could end up causing cervical or other cancers as well. So you know she is unprotected from at least four more cancer-causing subtypes... and, no doubt, you will be a sucker who buys another course of treatment later.

And once IPV6 gets up to steam, welcome to a world of people with millions of "addresses" to attack from. One advantage of IPV4 is that it was accidentally pretty granular.

That'll be a while, of course, but already we see attackers with access to a tremendous number of unique IP addresses in the IPV4 space.. they'll have many orders of magnitude more soon.
Yes, because moving from vtables to message passing eliminates a whole class of semantic errors whose genesis is independent of the implementation details of the language. Thanks for making this clear.

Take a look at Tengine, from Taobao. It's based on nginx.
Some philosophers assume language. Aristotle assumed language, as far as I know. It is unwise to assume language.

Philosophers manipulate concepts. This means that they create, destroy, morph, change, add to, take away from, and so on. They put concepts into certain sorts of relationships with other concepts. If it is true in Ruby that _everything_ is an object, I think it is a fair analogy to say that in philosophy everything is a concept. Concepts may be anonymous, like anonymous functions, but also concepts are labelled, and concepts have descriptions.

Philosophy has both a _what_ and a _how_. This is the same as any discipline. There is the subject matter of the discipline and also the methods (or if you want to be fancy, the methodologies) of the discipline. The difference between philosophy and other disciplines is mainly the subject matter. In philosophy the concepts are of a certain sort, abstract rather than concrete, though no-one knows as yet how to draw that distinction, some even disagree that there is the possibility of drawing a clear distinction.

[A side note. Even though humans are pretty adaptable, because humans have spent 99.99% of our evolutionary existence not being philosophers, we have a lot of systems in place that make us ill-suited for philosophizing. What I am trying to say is that learning _how_ to do philosophy (for a human being) is as much about learning how to overcome human fallibility and bias and prejudice as it is about learning how to think logically (this is overrated) and learning how to manipulate concepts like a boss (this is underrated).]

Concepts are conveyed from person to person using language. When one starts thinking about thinking you end up having to try to understand how it is that we are able to manipulate concepts in the first place and also how it is we come to acquire language. It is this conceptual and linguistic process that Wittgenstein could observe first-hand while teaching kids.
So the Russians invented and built the first working RFID in 1945! No wonder they made such a big deal about being a nation of builders in their opening show for the Sochi Olympics. What happened to the USA that they began to underestimate these folks?

Now it becomes clear where all that weaponry and defense systems used in Syria comes from. And they keep hinting that they are only using a fraction of their capability, mostly old stuff.

If you think the USA defence establishment is equal or better, then I have to point out that they have nothing like SpaceX, Tesla or Google's self drive cars. The secret sauce is that the private sector knows how to innovate and iterate and deliver working products.

Is it possible that the Russians have their own secret private sector building stuff? If so, they would need an entire secret economy that is impervious to sanctions, etc.
Afaik, wipo and the berne convention do not require copyright infringent to be a crime. It can also be dealt with in civil law (as opposed to criminal law). As an example, breaching a contract is not a crime either in most cases.
So just like YouTube.
"Inslee said the state is working to locate offenders released early who need to complete their sentences. Five have been returned to prison, according to Brown."

What can this possibly accomplish? Presumably these people were released, probably had no idea they were released early, and now have potentially settled into their life again. Returning them to prison can only do more harm than letting it go, and seems more spite than justice.
I sometimes have a similar issue with Travis CI, if I can't use one of their built in integrations or something. A simple workaround is to just upload an artifact to S3 after a successful build. Then on another system scan the bucket with a cron or listen for an S3 event notification for further processing. You can put a lifecycle policy on the bucket so it cleans up after a while too.

It's sort of annoying to have to add on another system to the pipeline, but I think it's generally reasonable. Managing artifacts shouldn't really be part of the CI system anyway, I feel it's better to handle that stuff separately.

I'd argue that often it's also like this: 1) incompetence => ill-defined requirements; 2) being afraid of corruption accusations if non-cheapest option wins => cheapest offer wins if it matches the ill-defined spec, regardless of any other factors.

The "cheapest offer wins" is (IMO) in general not how private companies work, but very often how governmental bodies work. The clerks have nothing to gain for choosing the right option, but potentially a lot to lose.
I agree, although as you said, I'd see it as an example of coverage vs. functionality. Still, if I were to bet, I would put my money on that they had no test suite at all : ) It's a gamble, but I think my chances would be favorable : )

Now that's fanatical woodworking. Even the screws and air pipes are made of wood.

There's a long history of pneumatic logic in pipe organs. Older large pipe organs have wooden switching units the size of an upright piano. But they're not 100% wood; they have flexible bellows and rubber or lead tubes. Doing it entirely in wood is impressive.
>He's a scumbag who profited TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS off content that he knew to be copyright infringing. He deserves prison time.

i'm sure that scumbag violated a lot of Saudi Arabia and Russian laws too (until of course he has all these years been a model Muslim as well as Russian patriot simultaneously). Why do you think infringement of US copyright takes precedence over violation of the Saudi Arabia or Russian laws?

Napping is necessary if you do high stressful work and you want not to burn out.

The nervous system is composed of parasympathetic and sympathetic systems and only one could work at any given time.

When people work too much, they use the sympathetic system almost exclusively and the body wears as it is not repaired as it should.

If you try to do too much, but your digestive system stops working at it should, your immune system stops working at it should, your sexual system stops working at it should, you are in a big problem in medium and long term.

In fact, people use artificial stimulants like coffee in order to mess and fool the natural mechanism of body repair. But they are fooling themselves because if you eliminate the signals but not the problem, you make the problem worse.

Science has studied elite sports in order to get better athletes and know we know that for every effort, you need a given resting time. Give no rest and the person can't compete in the elite, period.
It almost sounds like "fart xenon", which would be the best description of an ion engine I've seen so far :D.
From my expirience those aren't the exceptions - it's pretty much half the time tools work and half the time they don't (anything involving native interop basically is a nogo, monkey patching or meta programming equally bad).

It's nowhere near the level of support you get from even rudimentary type systems such as Java which can always resolve names and can provide strong refactoring. Why do you think even Python added optional type information and type definitions ala typescript and guys like jetbrains are rushing to support it ?

That is a very good guess for the fuel consumption! We use a Honda Eu10i generator that have a fuel tank size of 2.1 liter.

We (I) fill the generator and start it, and let it charge the batteries until it runs out of gas.
We start the generator every day now to avoid running the batteries too low.

Batteries are 6 x 6 V AGM arranged in 6+6||6+6||6+6.

We did consider windpower, but it would have been quite a bit more complicated for our tiny budget. And we would have to have a plan for both days with no wind and days with storm.

My dream solution would be a bigger battery bank, and a generator that can start automatically when the battery voltage drops under a certain level.
Add a huge fuel tank and it would have been able to run unvisited for weeks.
This sounds awesome, trying it out now.

This all seemed reasonable except this paragraph:

"The reason they are floating around is that they have no net acceleration. The outward acceleration of (apparent) circular motion, which wants to sling them out into deep space, exactly balances the inward acceleration of gravity that wants to pull them down to Earth."

There is no "outward acceleration". The weightlessness is because the craft they are in is accelerating towards Earth with exactly the same acceleration. The reason they don't hit the ground is that they have a suitably high tangential velocity.

> The "cheapest offer wins" is (IMO) in general not how private companies work.

I'd disagree with that assessment - "cheapest offer wins" is pretty much the way private companies work as well any time they can get away with it. See: procurement in any mid-to-large company, or the whole stereotype of "made in China = sucks" when it's not the fault of Chinese factories, but of companies that want to pay as little as possible for manufacturing (if they'd pay for quality production, they'd get quality products even from China).

Private companies can be as inefficient as public institutions, but it isn't talked about since they're usually wasting just their own (and their customers') money.
This five day delay jumped out at me, as did the fact it was mentioned without note or elaboration. This delay would not be normal here in the UK. Should it be read as bravado or fear of invoices?

It's not a bit strong.

You refute your own refutation. You use the words 'somehow', 'if', and 'currently'. That's kind of the whole point. _Currently_ there is no theory that explains how to do fusion without massive amounts of heat, ergo cold fusion IS (currently) theoretically impossible.

For private projects I have my own self-hosted installation of gitbucket.

Public projects are largely hosted on my own instance again, but also mirrored to github. (I like github, and I trust them, but equally I don't want to be reliant upon them so setting up mirroring before they die is better than doing so in a mad-panic as they fail!)
What are you talking about? Please give a link to the discussion you're referring to.
That proof is really great! It's always nice to see alternatives to well-known proofs. This demonstrates that you can always tackle problems from different angles.

However, I slightly disagree with the introduction of the proof:

| The really interesting thing about this proof is that it doesn't use divisibility, just mathematical induction in its "Z is well-ordered" form.

That's quite a bold statement. It would mean that this proof should generalize to other well-ordered sets that do not provide any notion of divisibility.

However, I don't see that. (Does anyone else see how this proof could work on such a generalized setting?)

Instead, it seems that this proof introduces the concept of "divisibility" through the backdoor, by calculating with fractions and making use of the basic fraction laws, which are based on divisibility. In particular, the equation

1 / (sqrt(m) - n) = (sqrt(m) + n) / (m - n^2)

makes use of the fact that you can extend and cancel fractions. Moreover, these fractions are not even fractions in Z, but in R, or at least in Z[sqrt(m)].
So there's still a lot of specialized structure involved in this proof.

Nevertheless, great proof!

That was a mistake by me in the design process - I simply forgot, that the charge voltage of battery systems are 14.7 V - And when I tested the diodes, they were not very happy getting more than 13 V.

We should have gotten a stack of cheap DC-DC converters to keep the voltage at 12 V for each strand of Diodes. But we realized the mistake too late for another Aliexpress-order, so we just had to go with a solution with parts from our stock.

..next year we will have lots of better ways to do things.

I've been following GitLab since 3 years it was really cool to host my own GitHub ( back then the design was almost identical ), but now it becomes more obvious how important it is to choose a language before you build a web application.

I think the ruby part was the only bad thing that they shouldn't have copied from GitHub. Also I bet you just can't use a web-app as big as gitlab on your own DO 10$ box and don't have any problems very soon.

If I was part of GitLab team I would definitely put on the table a plan to decentralise the services from their main ruby repository and use something modern micro-service based solution with it's top performant language.

It's a bit shocking people would find it natural to bleed for several days before seeking medical help. On any country with universal healthcare this would be much less consequential, as the patient would be readily treated and the consequences would be largely diminished.
I would say factorisation is more tedious than hard. Modern computers can perform several billion operations per second. The simplest algorithms take O(N) time, that is to factorise N, you need to perform around N calculations. There are better algorithms which run in logarithmic time, so you only need log(N) calculations (and some which are better than that). Even with what you and I think of as big numbers, this is fast.

You get problems with numbers over 100 digits. I recently entered a challenge where one of the questions involved prime factoring a 130 digit number. That was a record feat a couple of decades ago, now it takes a day or two on a modern computer.

Great comment. Just to add, if you carry the stress of work around with you outside of the workplace, it'll also hamper your parasympathetic and sympathetic balance. Of course, this also applies if you are carrying around too much personal stress as well.

Next time you get into a conversation about work-life balance and say you don't have time for a workout, think again about that.
