You buy a media outlet because you want media power - ie, political power. Direct profitability is a side effect at best, the point is to advocate for policies and coverage that allow you to make money by other means.

Look at NYT's ever-so-delicate handling of Carlos Slim and issues that relate to him, ever since he bought 1/6 of them. Not a whole lot of criticism of his telecom monopoly or his effect on Mexican politics, lots of advocacy for policies that drive international phone calls.

Ontario Institute for Cancer Research | Toronto, Canada | Computational Biologist/Software Engineer | Onsite

My research group at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research is looking for a new member to help develop algorithms and methods for analyzing large amounts of DNA sequencing data. We currently focus on building tools for working with new, portable DNA sequencing devices that can be used by anyone, anywhere in the world. We are committed to open access and share all of our code on github (example: https://github.com/jts/nanopolish).

This position doesn't require prior experience in biology/bioinformatics - the problems we solve are analogous to classic machine learning tasks like speech recognition. This would be a great position for someone who wants to try out the academic side of the world and apply their background in computation to important problems with direct relevance to biology and health.

OT nitpicking but Singapore is neither nearby nor culturally similar.
This was a fun game!

I'm running for governor next whenever that happens. I really had to put myself in the shoes of a California voter to get the numbers to work out. I think for all new housing going forward, it's important that we enrich the state's coffers so that all y'all don't have to pay as much property tax -- as manded by the State Constitution. I'm therefore raising the fees per unit to the maximum this game allows (really not high enough but it's good as a working model). I also think the whole point of California is big open parking lots and lots of freeways; so I'm going to require that density be lowered by 40% and parking increased by 40%. I've noticed that there's no affordable housing in the entire state pretty much, so each new project will be required to set aside 40% of their units to qualified people-in-need-of-affordable-stuff. It's a real problem and these fat cat housing developers only care about themselves. Additionally, the banks going bust really fucked our economy a couple years ago, so I'm mandating that they charge no less than 10% per year of interest. Finally, as a show of good faith, the State of California is levying a tax on property development of 16% of the total project cost.

With this, there is a 0% chance of any new housing being built. You won the lottery when you happened to be alive 40 years ago to buy a house, and it's my job as the Governor of California to protect that asset for you and your children.

Right, but if there's flexibility to change the specific inputs... maybe you can change motions when/if they're becoming a problem?

Or maybe people should work less?
I don't know if it made it into this version, but I was trying v3.0 nightly builds a few months ago, and the material-design-ish "tip of the day" dialog they added was… weird. It's completely out of place against the rest of the OS and I'm fairly certain it's done with a webview. Overall way too heavy and involved for such a small feature. A small native tool palette panel would have sufficed.

I reverted to the stable release for a while but these days I just use plain old Terminal.app. I miss the Visor/TotalTerminal/Quake pulldown feature since SIP kills TotalTerminal, but oh well.
> That's just the format du jour. Ten years ago it would have been "store an XML encoded representation" and ten years before that it would have been some delimited representation.

That's called progress. We can't store it in some future language, who wants to store it as XML, so let's use the best of what we have.

> What I find amazing is Tokyo. Tokyo, 1945, burned to the ground

Perhaps that's the reason why everything works? It was all rebuilt much more recently. Also, to my understanding the Japanese culture doesn't place the same value on historical structures[1][2]. It's much easier to secure right-of-way when there is less importance placed on the actual locations or buildings, or when it's expected it will be torn down at some point in the next 20-30 years anyway.

I would not characterise the actions of undemocratic regimes as representing the "will of the country".

The fact that we accept undemocratic regimes as legal representatives of their countries for pragmatic reasons doesn't change that.

What 'historical structures' are there in Silicon Valley? The place was a bunch of orchards that were later burned down to make place for random ugly office parks. Let's be honest here.
I was using iTerm2 while Vim was my main text editor. Recently I switched to Emacs, and now my iTerm2 usage is lower for 60%. It's lower to that point that I ask my self is it now worth over Terminal.app. I used it because it had True Colors, while Terminal.app didn't, and it was a deal breaker for me. Now I am considering ditching iTerm2 since I feel it is slower than stock terminal. Used it for years btw, worked great with my nvim/tmux/zsh setup. But now it is kinda all falling apart since I installed emacs.
The setup seems rather similar to https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module which I've used in the past.
Perhaps they've bundled it with Nginx Plus without crediting the original authors? The project has a bit too permissive license for my taste.
Thanks for that stunningly beautiful commentary. /s
"Successfully integrate" = "live peacefully in this country under a single government and set of laws," not force them to abandon their culture. Stuff about making immigrants abandon their religion, outlawing their traditional dress, forcing them to shake hands, whatever, is (imo) disgusting and not what I mean by "cultural integration." That stuff will work itself out over time by regular culture processes and a two-way exchange, the same as it did for all the previous immigrant groups (Catholics, Irish, Chinese, Africans, etc). No, things still aren't perfect, but over time things do become more integrated just through natural processes.

> Would you integrate into a culture constantly telling you how much it sucks and how it's wrong about everything and how sorry it is to you about that?

The people acting that way (e.g. Donald Trump) are not helping. They're an obstacle. They're making things worse for everyone. There would need to be strategies to mitigate that, finding ways to convince them to be more accepting of immigrants, or reducing contact with the most hostile people as much as possible. But I still think allowing immigration, and having programs to facilitate it, is a better strategy than what has been happening so far, despite the obstacles.
Haha the competition is fierce! But your skills aren't exactly overlapping so it's not like there's actually competition here. On the bright side, you're a role model for someone else :)
> Yes, but al-Qaeda existed for years as just a decentralized terrorist network, whereas the legitimacy and appeal of ISIS partially depends on their establishing a caliphate

Prior to the post-9/11 period, during which, after a brief spike, the value of al-Qaeda's brand fell, the Taliban in Afghanistan wasn't so much a government sponsor of terror as a government sponsored by al-Qaeda, and a key part of al-Qaeda's appeal and legitimacy. Success at establishing territory with a formal government of the style promoted by the ideology has been as much a part of al-Qaeda's appeal as it is for the Islamic State (and the failure of al-Qaeda central to maintain that is a big part of the reason that al-Qaeda in Iraq, with its greater success at that, broke away and became, through a number of steps, "The Islamic State".)

That sounds sort of like you decided to fix a bunch of problems at the same time

A real database with real schema involves a series of guaranteed logical relations. Each violation of these logical relations tends to result in a different kind of problem (if you have a relation requiring pairing cars and drivers, you could have the problem of cars without drivers and drivers without cars. The potential logical problems multiply as the effective schema grows, without you have explicit schema or not).

So basically the move of using a real schema fixes a wide variety of real and potential problems compared to ad-hoc solutions. There are many ad-hoc solutions but since these aren't guaranteeing logical relations, such solutions tend to have holes the appear later.

So the gp may have been forced to use a real schema based on the multiplication of problems or they may have just done it because it was the right thing.

The Lambda Architecture and Big Data Quality
The rules around "pre-existing conditions" are completely asinine. Under the old rules that Republicans would like to go back to, I'm covered as long as I don't have any period that I didn't have insurance since donating the kidney. However, if I temporarily lose health insurance and then get health insurance again, that kidney donation 16 years ago magically becomes a pre-existing condition again for a period of multiple years. Even though nothing at all happened in that short period I went without health insurance.

The kicker is, health insurance companies will use any pre-existing condition to get out of paying for just about everything. So, for example, if I wound up getting poly-cystic kidney disease, my insurance company would use the fact that I donated a kidney as a pre-existing condition to get out of paying for it. Even though it's completely unrelated and can't cause PKD. It's an out in their mind and they're going to take it.

Health insurance and medical care in the US is absurdly corrupt. That's why I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital without buying a walking boot from their provider. And their provider billed my insurance company $700. And the insurance company paid them $400. And then the provider billed me $100 and threatened to send me to collections if I didn't pay them. All for a walking boot that didn't fit, that I didn't use, and that I could have purchased from Amazon.com for $53 with free shipping.
No, he picked a famous and perfect example. He just didn't specify it well enough.

Over the last 2 centuries, number theorists developed the theory of large prime numbers. The numbers that they were dealing with were so large that they had no conceivable use in describing the physical universe.

Famously one prominent number theorist, G. H. Hardy, wrote A Mathematician's Apology, a book describing and justifying his life. In it he famously described his field as being utterly useless with no practical applications.

Then cryptography came along, and the mathematics of finding large prime numbers, and factoring hard to factor large numbers, turned out to have practical applications of great importance!
