But what if the antigens are vital for the tumor ? What mutation are you referring to? Presumably the immune system will kill the cancerous cells ( shedding the mutation as well).
Well, the point is Doom's levels and controls are designed for the constraints of a 1992-ish pc. It's not too surprising it worked on consoles as well. Quake on consoles was, predictably, poop.
Yes. Millions and millions.

No, the game uses frame delta times rather than a set tick rate per second.

(In general it's how most games already work; it's just that it's normally convenient to set it at a fixed rate to make some things like physics more deterministic, and it gives a nice target performance/budget).

Isn't it fair to say that the field of computer science has (up until recently, apparently) distinguished itself with its corny humor, dorkiness, and resulting sense of humility? I feel like puns and bad jokes had generally been a special part of the culture of early technologists. It's a little sad to see that give way to a kind of self-important seriousness.
Could you simultaneously target multiple mutations to reduce the risk of this? Similarly to using a cocktail of antibiotics to prevent the development of resistance.

i.e. the probability of shedding a single mutation is 1/x, but the probability of shedding two in the same organism is (1/x)^2, so targeting more mutations make it exponentially harder for the organism to adapt.

Only if Google / facebook stops inventing. Yahoo made a mistake of stagnation. Microsoft made a mistake of stagnation from 2000 to 2009 (Balmer period). Motorola made a mistake of stagnation. Apple is again making a mistake of stagnation. As long as companies not sitting on their arses and let the competition overtake them they will be fine.

What do you mean by "going down"? The IPO price was the IPO price. If people are unable to trade during the day and the price is unchanged, it just means that the stock didn't have an opportunity to trade up.

This article reads as very developer-centric, is my first thought. When comparing Docker and Configuration Management, he uses deploying code and scripts as his comparison, which is far from extensive when thinking through a list of all changes on a system.

As a former operations engineer himself, the author didn't touch on a suite of other day to day complexities to consider : how to handle emergency change management and track that (most configuration management tools can revert to baseline if they detect a change they don't expect), keeping systems patched, etc.

While not a bad article, I feel like we've talked about just deployment, and quite frankly there are a zillion ways to solve the automation of it.

Opera being better than Edge is a claim I might believe but I don't think Edge is almost as bad as Chrome.

I stopped using Chrome when I discovered it took hours off my battery life on a MacBook. Edge can't be almost as bad. Intuitively I would believe the ranking in terms of battery life would be Safari > Edge or Opera > Firefox > Chrome.
I work in a big pharma analyzing image and experimental data. In a prior life I analyzed social cliques from vast numbers of user transactions. In both cases it seems like greater volumes of data should lead to deeper insights. But as it happens, the amount of useful actionable information in that data was surprisingly limited.

Often the available sensors/assays failed to detect reliable info. Or the phenomenon of interest interdepended on too many variables expressed with too great a dynamic range for us to detect reliably or model usefully. (The present lull in genomics R&D illustrates this well, as do automated interpretation of signals like EEG and NMR spectra.) And the signals that we can extract are often uninterpretable or sporadic. Alas, gathering more data won't yield more signal. Given the present limit on sensor resolution, you just get more mixed signals.

The potential of all ML is limited by the depth of the data that are essential for the discrimination of subtler signals. In the domains you mention (medicine, biology, geology, other sciences) I'm convinced we need better sensors more than greater amounts of the same data available now. We need better hypotheses which lead to better ideas of where to look and what to look for. In general, ML can't help with that. Until we better imagine how the mechanism might work, our questions remain too vague.

To wit, I'm afraid that applying ML to most software apps will suffer from the same limited ROI. I suspect that most app and user data is too shallow for mining to add appreciable value, no matter how clever it is.
There is a lot of discussion going on currently around OSS business models. The general consensus is that support contracts / professional services / support do not monetize well enough to grow a large business.

Hosted services is a viable business model. The risk here is to ensure that your product, if successful, cannot simply be deployed by Amazon. Dual licensing has been one response to the Amazon risk.

Admin tools alone are also thought to be difficult to monetize at sufficient value to grow a large business.

While DataStax has a nice UI, they have built a data platform with Cassandra the core, much like Cloudera has built a data platform with HDFS/HBase at the core. Personally, I view the data platforms as prepackaged and productized SI (which is very valuable..

One thing that I didn't see mentioned here that I'd like to point out (again) is that the Ubuntu on Windows stuff is CLIENT ONLY aimed at developers.

How are you tying efficacy of advertising with busted exchange? I don't see it.

This deal was upsized very close to the IPO date and completely oversubscribed with huge retail interest. Everyone wanted this deal to succeed and news behind it was extremely positive. Don't see how random chatter about advertising causes a stock exchange to blow up.

To piggyback on the weird comparisons, why didn't Square encounter any issues on their IPO? News was extremely negative and it was said that they were forced to IPO to cash out investors.
Almost all trials fail, but it's interesting that CRISPR is getting the nod. It has so many uses that if it doesn't work in this specific cancer study it doesn't really matter.

FB has a "network effect" the value of the network increases with the square of the participants (i.e. the number of connections you can have). Similar effects occur with human languages, telephones, and the internet. It's a kind of natural monopoly, because once one gets big enough, no alternative can catch up. That's why we have the internet, and not internets.

Google is different, because it's easy to switch search engines. One competitive advantage they have is "google suggest" - this takes massive capital investment in server farms to be fast enough, which is difficult for smaller competitors to match.

NOTE: in Google's opinion, FB was a very serious threat (hence google+), because more information about users means better targetted ads. So they don't think they're unassailable.

I agree with the "don't drink too much kool-aid" but you can also completely develop and deploy Phoenix without worrying about distributed systems, umbrella-refactorings, and so on. At least, I have. :)

This has been the whole appeal behind Phoenix: it truly is as productive as Rails/Django but much more performant. Better throughput, faster boot times, faster tests, etc. Fault-tolerance, channels and presence are the cherry on top.

I have seen Chris keynote about the presence implementation and they seem to have used really advanced techniques that I cannot not quite follow. Still, this week we are going to deploy presence into production and all we really care is that it just works (and without Redis or any other dependency).

Phone Surfing in Bed Makes Two Women Go “Blind”
What counts as a 'true competitor'? You seem to be asking if there's a chance that someone will upend Google at search, and Facebook at social networking.

But that's not how these companies pay the bills. They built massive ecosystems around their original businesses, and they use that ecosystem to mine data and serve ads. With this money, they've amassed social and infrastructure capital, so they can out-build competitors (Google Drive, Docs), branch out into other product lines (Google Cloud Services), or simply buy them out (Instagram, WhatsApp).

To compete against them, you need differentiation and feature that appeal to a passionate audience. Snapchat, for example, attracts people who've seen or heard how damaging it can be to publically post on Facebook. DuckDuckGo appeals to people who don't want trails of their web searches making it into ads they see on websites. Dropbox works for people because they put out a solid product and aren't trying to force you to be part of a large, monolithic ecosystem.

But it's an uphill battle. Facebook's preferred strategy is to buy out services before they become dangerous (they tried to buy Snapchat back when it was still known mostly for sexting), and Google's is to outbuild others. They form a very effective duopoly in a way.
I wish they had done this instead of just said "look ours is faster when we enable adblocker on one browser but don't use it on another."

California isn't magical, but it's the only place where you aren't left with a dead sea effect of candidates who weren't willing or able to move away to a better labor market.
Oh, ok. Yeah, and indictment of the candidate after the convention would be horrific on so many levels. That would be game over, and frankly all the money that would go to the candidate would switch to the Senate and House races just to keep the down ticket from taking a huge hit.

I really couldn't see that happening. If, and I really mean if, an indictment happens, it will be before the convention.
I am not in a position to generalize but my worst(and only poor) experience was with an older foreign couple, likely in their 70s. I am usually very hands off with my guests but in this case, I showed them how to use the mirowave to make tea, how to operate the washer/dryer among other things. They acted annoyed through much of the trip but ultimately, I continued helping them because I figured a) I don't really know what it is like to be in their shoes b) these could very well be my parents or heck me, some day.

After the trip, I wasn't expecting a glowing review. But when I got a super negative review, I was pretty bummed.
Costs haven't been that bad, I have floated it since 2012 (only around 1M images have been uploaded).

True that we left before 2.0.

I was excited to hear that 2.0 wasn't backwards-compatible, but apparently (from the community feeds I'm still connected with) things haven't improved much.

The problem seems to be that they just didn't have a deep engineering bench at Magento, and as the red-headed stepchild of eBay a few years after their acquisition they had no way to hire. (I was actually pitched a "CTO of Magento" job at eBay Enterprise a few years ago, but the comp package wouldn't have matched my lead engineers' at the time and most of the dev team was overseas and chosen based on price. It looked like a nightmare.)

edit: Apparently they've since been sold to a private equity firm to be managed for cashflow, which is a common outcome for stagnant enterprise companies with vendor lock-in and rich fees. So much for buying their way out of their code hole.
People hate being labeled racist more than actually being racist. Good example: Trumps feelings on undocumented immigrants being rapists and murderers.
Article fails to mention the Sydney Hostage Crisis of 2014. Three people, including the gunman, were killed, so this event just fails to qualify as a mass shooting, but the fact is, in a country where shotguns are banned, a lone gunman still used a shotgun to hold 10 people hostage.
They broke the mold when they made him.
I trust Armin given his excellent open source track record in the Python community. I will be using Sentry when I need to, solely because he works there :)
But Facebook didn't trade at a higher price when there was no longer any trouble. Nothing material changed about Facebook in those few days. So either the price would have gone down (meaning Facebook did the right thing), it would have stayed flat (same here), or if it would go up, it would go up when the exchange fixed their trouble (it didn't).

Nothing indicates that this went poorly for Facebook. It seems to indicate the opposite.

>There are simply too many people in CA at this point to enjoy anything it offers.

The problem you describe does not get enough attention. The state and local governments have seriously mismanaged growth over the last half a century or so. The individual person's quality of life has truly been diminished in the way you describe.
On the other hand, there are sub-par workers that have a higher than reality view of their skills who also get disgruntled that they are not treated like rockstars.
IMHO the more interesting story is the linked to article on the mechanics of what the firm was doing.

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-05-04/dividends...

Dividend arbitrage is one of those activities that was common for a while and it launched alot of funds that were active for a couple of years until the space got too crowded and the tax implications became too gray for most funds.

I think I've made this point several times on HN before, but taxes, specifically tax minimization is a huge factor, and becoming larger all the time in the returns of many hedge funds.

Rentec is one of the more famous funds who is known for making large returns that is very aggressive with its tax avoidance. As i said in a previous comment, Rentec is full of incredibly smart people but when a tell all book is written about them, I'm betting that a much larger portion of their gains than most people realize will be shown to come from tax avoidance.

This is a really good read. It pisses me off to no end, but anybody who is an engineer (especially an early engineer, christ!) should read this to try and understand the mindset of investors and new founders.

This article articulates what seems to be a common sentiment among founders I've met: early employees who want to do good work and cash out are a liability.

The rhetoric proposed here of "early employees who leave" vs "god-fearing quality employees who stay or join" is targeted directly at dividing and taking advantage of us.

MinGW is not getting more and more mature, because it keeps depending on the same library from Microsoft. That library is the big downer in MinGW. MinGW is now dead as a way of doing quick-and-dirty ports of POSIX programs to Windows. (Specifically, quick and dirty porting of non-GPL-ed programs to Windows, such as they are not tainted by the GPL).

Going forward, MinGW is only useful for writing Windows-only programs using GCC, GNU Make and Bash. Well, sort of. Anyone in their right mind will just download a copy of Visual Studio if they want to write Windows programs in C or C++.

MinGW still has a tiny advantage: its path handling is more Windows-like. Cygwin programs do not understand the concept of each drive letter having its own current directory, so that drive-letter-qualified relative paths are possible. A drive relative path like "C:foo/bar/txt" does not work properly in Cygwin. What it is supposed to do is resolve against the current directory that is associated with the C: drive. I think what happens is that it gets treated as "C:/foo/bar.txt". If you compile a command line utility with Cygwin, and that utility works with path arguments, it will surprise Windows users in some circumstances. Perhaps Cygwin can fix this issue someday (if it hasn't already; I haven't been tracking this).
