The return of open mail relays (2013)
Colour me skeptical (but curious) about the conclusions as it presently stands. Let me reason it out:

The quantity of mRNA of any gene is dependent on its synthesis and decay rates. This means that genes that decay at a rate lower than the mean decay (basically perish slower* than average), will seemingly appear to be highly expressed after passage of unit time.

Figuring out this pattern is not easy, as it relates to the complex relationship between the quantity of the decay rate of a specific gene, the expression levels of that gene (think of order of reaction from chemical kinetics), the overall decay of the entire sample (either of which is not necessarily linear), etc.

The authors point this out and talk about it a bit in the discussion, but I'm not sure it's completely convincing. And hence, if what we observe is nothing but a normalization artifact.

*how slow is another ball-game (read: order of reaction from chemical kinetics) altogether
Yeah, both sides have massive flaws, but isn't it stifling to keep insisting on this fact and to keep preaching it? Shouldn't we all just accept the lesser evil...

Today's vote only has two possible outcomes, but please don't perpetuate the myth that Americans have only two choices in November. Both Gary Johnson and Jill Stein would serve the public better as president than either of the two corrupt charlatans that the two wings of the Status Quo Party will nominate. If we want to improve the nation, and we want to do it by voting, we will be fools if we continue to vote as we always have.
Requesting exactly three reasons sounds quite trollish...

A Leave vote would probably negatively affect many European research projects.
The EU's framework programmes [1] are funding many collaborations and exchange programs. If the UK leaves, non-British researchers might need to to leave the UK, British universities would get isolated from the rest of European academia, long-term projects would have their funding canceled, etc.
Even if EU and UK somehow would find a way to continue research cooperations, the uncertainty will have negative consequences right now.
While this might not directly affect the average joe, it would negatively affect quite a few people I know.

I'd hope it's a writing issue, as I certainly agree that, should someone present themselves like this, it would seem very transparent.

I think it's fine to strategize in such ways, but you have to be a savvy communicator to pull off this level of ... scheming?
I saw that reverse for a few minutes on Betfair. It's a fairly illiquid market looking at the depths.
Great question ! Couple of points:

If the job is in the same state as you went to college, then they shouldn't be able to reject you because of a positive test for marijuana. They might be more concerned about other drugs.

Unless you were a heavy user, you might be below detectable levels already.

My suggestion: Chill man! Delay taking the test if you can, but not too much. Take the test. If you pass the test - then you were worried about nothing. If you don't pass the test, then you have a nice easy chat with the manager you had the good interview with. At that time explain as you did here, it was for a reason and you have gone off it. Offer to do another test at the end of your probation period to confirm that you've kept your promise.
I have had plenty of comments that were at -2 or -3 minutes after posting, and later wound up very high. My best guess is that brand-new comments get their first votes from the "[new] comments" section, which encourages people to vote based on first impressions rather than context or content, and then later get voted up by more thoughtful readers. Also, people are more likely to vote up a decent-but-not-great comment that is showing as grey to them.

I voted up your original comment, actually. Microsoft has a long history of flat-out lying; they have been getting better in recent years, but they haven't earned unquestioning trust.

I downvoted your other comments because you're being whiny and petulant and paranoid for no good reason.
This is more-or-less complete rubbish. Does a "porn" image file have a different odor than a non-porn image file? Only a credulous loon would believe a headline like that.

I'm not even sure that "the devices that carry it" actually makes sense either, even though the article says: "Because the chemical URL can smell is distinct for storage devices, he isn't confused by remote controls or garage door openers." I'm going to have to call BS on this - the article lumps DVDs, USB storage, and memory cards as "storage devices".

Yeah, this article is bunk. It's a pure police PR plant. If this kind of information is just floating around, part of common knowledge, then police can use "porn dogs" to find "evidence" at will.

People are objecting to add blocking as a perfectly normal browser feature. There is a mindset that as soon as people start wearing augmented reality glasses they are going to want context sensitive advertising in their day to day lives. IMO, most people would much rather block real world adds and overlay them with blank space or even nature scenes.

Browser advertising fits into the same argument as adds on cable television. Subscribe to Hulu and no the adds don't go away.
Ok so for those who didn't quite get it - my point was that Opera are claiming to be the first 'battery saving' browser, and then completely ignore Safari in their tests.
> it's not as if the value created by the early employee goes away if they leave before a liquidity event.

Exactly. The comparison with a football player is asinine. A player who no longer is on the team cannot contribute to winning a football game. But an employee builds something that persists and is built upon long after they're gone.
Day fines could work.
Serious question: is any group working on a voice activated digital assistant for the privacy minded? One that can operate without a connection to a backend network where it must necessarily transmit recordings of your voice to perform queries?

Or is good speech recognition just that intensive, such that common consumer devices really can't handle the load?

If votes were being counted in a completely random order then 1m votes would have been more than enough to determine the result with very high accuracy.

A myth? We literally only have two choices. There is not a single chance that someone else will be elected unless someone within either of the parties does something.

What do you seriously suggest the people do to get another person besides these two?

Whether you like it or not, the fact remains that those who vote for a third party have always been a tiny minority and have ultimately caused elections to be lost to people even they think is the worse evil. Unless of course you respond with what your plan of action is and how it will work.
Except for the inconvenient fact that the cerebellum is not explicitly solving control theory equations.

And also that other inconvenient fact that neuroscientists barely understand the brain at all.
I would prefer a more general change: studies show that traffic jams and accidents happen more frequently if cars are going at widely different speeds. So the consequence should be not only to ticket drivers who go too fast but also drivers who go too slow. So instead of setting a speed limit we need a speed range and deviation from it in either direction should be punished. Obviously this would only be for freeways and certain highways.
3 reasons more of a joke in reference to the Queen. Thanks for polite answer.
You can go to the graph on betfair and "invert axis" to see the actual probability.
Why have a limit at 10 years?
Separating things into components is great, at least in-process where you can enforce interfaces with compilers. Managing deployment, versioning, and compatibility of 10's of networked services (aka micro services) is not a good way to spend time in a young startup...

Of course, one monolith is a bad idea. Probably need a handful of services -- especially separating long running background work from foreground work, glued together with a queue system.
On your first point: Inequality among nations is in decline, as you note.

Inequality among individuals within nations, however, is on the rise. [1] I think this is as important as inequality among nations.

This is idiotic. The author harps on the "direct wealth transfer" and optimizing for previous employees. This "optimization" happens before employees are hired, not after they leave. The effect is realized after the ex-employees have left.
We put a great deal of effort into publicizing the survey, with a special focus on public spaces and piggybacking on highly-visible announcements. The website's front page sees less traffic than e.g. HN or the Rust subreddit, so it's not hard to imagine why nobody considered putting it there. It certainly wouldn't have hurt to have had it there, and I'm sure we'll consider putting it there for next year's survey, but we're quite happy with the several thousand respondents that we received.
Do a search on reddit (lots of pot smokers over there) on how long pot takes to clear your system or if there is anything you can do to accelerate the process. You might already be safe. If you are still in the detectable time period accept the job but say you can't report till X date because you have some personal matters to tend to where X is long enough to test negative. If this is not feasible talk to your hiring manager (i.e. not HR) and explain that you don't normally smoke pot but had a few puffs (and didn't inhale just like a former President) during some recent graduation parties and that it is legal in your state and maybe the test can be delayed or you can retake it in a month if it comes up positive. If your manager has any company "juice" he can get you past this hurdle. Ideally you want to test negative so its not in your permanent record.

This isn't really pertinent to the article. It's not about "stream smoothing" through more judicious use of gas and break.
Sign them too
I completely disagree. Someone who discloses things of this nature seems even more honest.

In my opinion you seem like a bit of a square. :|

edit: Goobye kharma.
That's a bit oversimplified. If LE had used the mark first, and had taken the measure of asking Comodo to stop using it, that would show them protecting their trademark, which would give them a case. The PTO is quite clear that registration is not required for a trademark to be enforceable.
> but he is generally a shrewd operator, and really not liable to simple corruption.

That would probably come as a surprise to the small army of people who have sued him over the years[0], or who have been sued by him for what seem to be vindictive or petty reasons[1].

You may prefer Trump, but the corrupting interests of business and politics very often intersect. I think it would be a mistake to assume he's neither corrupt nor corruptible.

My comment was mainly aimed at people who agree with me that Trump would be a disaster and Hillary would simply be the continuation of the not-so-great status quo. To those people, I plead to stop making the both-sides-are-evil argument.

You seem to be a Trump supporter, so there you go, you're not on the both-sides-are-evil boat. I have no qualms with you other than the obvious political differences.
Hi NotQuantum, thank you for reading the article. These methods may seem a bit brash, and frankly I agree that they are. However, from my experience I have found that if you don't stand out from the crowd when applying to jobs you lower your chances. At the end of the day, your work ethic and quality of work determines whether you are a successful employee or not, but most people don't even get the chance to show their true value because of the flawed and archaic hiring processes that we have currently in the industry.
Yeah, I think after a few generations of stability, when the last survivors of the last major calamity leave power, people start believing that this time is different, we've moved past war, without realizing that humans haven't fundamentally changed.
Uh, working 4am to 2:15pm has nothing to do with meal perks.
This may be being said elsewhere but I think the bigger problem is that you get taxed when buying options that are not liquid. I own a significant amount of a startup company and am fully vested but I can't exercise because of the tax bill.
Implied probability is 100 / odds
Don't a lot of companies give you an initial number of options and then only sometimes more? That's how it was at startups I talked to in 1999 and 2000.
No, inequality among individuals across the world is in decline. That's what my graph shows.

Why is inequality within arbitrary borders as important? There are a near infinite set of possible borders - what makes your choice of borders morally meaningful?
What is good about bunny hopping? It raises the skill ceiling, but it doesn't do so in an interesting or challenging way. It's basically just a "rub your head and pat your belly" test, what TVTropes calls "fake difficulty." It doesn't test your tactics or your aim or your situational awareness; it just tests your ability to stay focused while hammering the spacebar continuously.
These were my thoughts exactly, specifically:

"The 10-year “solution” thus takes money/option value out of the pockets of the current (and growing) employee base to line the pockets of former employees who are no longer contributing to the business."

No it doesn't, those people helped get your startup where it is today. They put in sweat equity in lieu of greater pay. You can make this same dumb argument in reverse as well about current employee benefitting from the work that people did on the ground floor.

Seriously the arrogance of this person is incredible.
Surprise Amazon Isn't as Efficient as You Think
With anti-Jewish sentiment, from Mein Kampf and other sources I see, is mainly about some shadowy conspiracy. Anti-Islam sentiment seems to be based on concrete actions (though with fearful, only somewhat-justified extrapolation perhaps) by people identifying with Islam, as well as Islam-majority countries' actions.

EU and US leaders seem to keep on stating there's nothing wrong with Islam, while e.g. Islamic countries still have the death penalty for non-straight or non-cis people. It seems like doublespeak to say it's great, yet not admit the obvious problems. Anyone speaking up and pointing this "emperor's clothing" situation out is going to resonate well with people. I've considered myself very left and liberal for most of my life, yet I'm now viewing these right-wing parties favorably. Maybe I'm getting older (34) and losing my grip, or maybe there's some serious issues.

If I'm getting this wrong, please tell me. I have a hard time seeing how rational people can come to a different result on this matter. Note I'm not saying anything about individual Muslims, just that no one seems to want to recognize the obvious problems that many people's beliefs seem to have.

No offense intended; please let me know what I'm missing. (FWIW I'm against all religion.)

You can. You just can't do long term capital gains.
The Strange History of Microfilm
If it's on the OS that you use, that's hardly a problem.
Most of those slide switches aren't actually hardware switches, they just tell the firmware/driver to disable it.

> Gowers mentions that, to him, an obvious argument would be: 23 x 22 != 21 x 25, since 2 divides 23x22, but 2 does not divide 21x25.

I don't follow the distinction - isn't the same true of my example, just swapping "2" for "11" or "23"?

I mean, given Gowers' standing I'm prepared to assume his premise is true, and I didn't follow the last argument (by comparison to other kinds of rings) at all so I'm guessing that it's the "real" reason why the theorem isn't obvious. But the preceding arguments made no sense to me at all.
That's fair. This was definitely written with deployments in mind so I can't disagree with your assessment. With that said, I think the real downside of config management, and the real upside of containers really comes down to deployments. There is definitely still a use case for system level changes and patching that are best served by config management. How long until the container based config management? :serious_question:

I wish this article had a more descriptive title, it's really an important read. I've come across so many over-boiled carrots in my career.

> My argument isn't that "professors are paid too much."

Well, okay.

> It's that we have too much higher education.

This seems well-covered in other threads. I'll just say two things:

1. A secondary education from a typical US high school is woefully insufficient for most well-paying jobs in the USA, and this is only likely to become more true over time.

2. Employers are on balance unwilling to invest in educating and training workers.

The argument about what to do is one we should perhaps have, and has been had in other threads, but it is most important to realize the need for something beyond high school.

incredibly stupid people with fears like immigration

I've yet to hear an intelligent argument in favor of mass immigration, especially for a densely populated country like the UK. So, "stupid" to me is forcing a country with millennia of fairly consistent demographics to rapidly [0] turn into a squabbling Middle Eastern/North African/South Asian aggregate. Stupid. And by stupid, I mean stupid to the point of being utterly baffling.

[0] By historical standards. Britain is being re-settled a lot faster than North America was for instance. That took hundreds of years.
I kind of don't understand how this is not the standard. It it 1786?
Some people have already done something, and both of the candidates I mentioned by name in the parent comment will be on the ballot in your state. Please vote for one of them! Don't vote for what you know to be "evil"; that wouldn't be rational. No one will stop you from voting rationally, except yourself, by listening to the "literally only two choices" bullshit that the media spoon-feeds you.

This is probably too political for HN, so I'll stop now.
