I don't remember meeting anyone with a lower number than mine, although I was aware that, at least on the global user directory, there were 2 people in my city with a lower number, both related.

In my case I got last online times for several people (mobile app) but mostly all from 2015. I wonder if that's in any way related with the govt blocking WhatsApp that year...

Just to clarify the the 'native' bit, it is web, iOS and Android. I was thinking for some reason they had done a native only app.
Could it be because of the age of the codebase? When ICQ started the available TCP/IP stacks were not good enough and it doesn't make sense to refactor the whole project to use the system stack.
Military Leaders Urge Trump to See Climate as a Security Threat
I don't have a wealth of knowledge on the subject as I'm not really a javascript dev, but I do know that Javascript and unity work pretty well together using it as a scripting language. Where nodejs would fit into this, I'm not so sure, but hopefully someone else can chime in on their experience
This is slightly misleading. What we've understood for a century is the thermal forcing due to CO2, which is a logarithmic function of the CO2 concentration (ie, forcing == O(log n) in CO2 concentration).

What we don't understand (unless we decide GCMs are predictive and can be validated) is the impact of a given thermal forcing on planetary temperature. This is the "climate sensitivity." Unfortunately, this is the number we actually care about.

If climate sensitivity is low (negative feedback), Earth is thermally buffered and we have to worry less. If climate sensitivity is high (positive feedback), the opposite.

(Note also that Arrhenius, the discoverer of this effect, and pretty much everyone through the '60s, assumed that global warming was a positive side effect of burning fossil fuel, just from the preindustrial assumption that warm winters and high crop yields are good for humanity.)
Can't CRISPR achieve stable transfection through pathways like AAV, though? If that's the case, can't the cell lines carry on the changes without any need for on-going therapy?

I met my wife on ICQ.

It's a shame AOL ruined it with ads and overall crappiness, it could have been Facebook - a decade before FB was even a figment in Zuck's imagination. To be fair, it didn't help that MS did their "leveraging Windows" play; around 2002, I realized "normal" people had gone to Messenger because it was "just there" and it worked better with firewalls. But that was it, the IM scene was never as cohesive again -MSN, C6, Jabber, Yahoo, they all split the network.

I wish we could get some visibility as to how many Snapchat users are adult content creators. This is a segment that everyone seems to ignore, but I think we would be surprised to learn its scale and the amount of money flowing through it. It's also probably the group of users which most use Snapcash and driver huge numbers across all metrics.

Didn't expect this to blow up today. But security was considered from day 0.

- Each time a poster is generated the repo's code is fetched and destroyed.

- Your auth token is cleared after each session.

- For maximum security use Gists!

You can create a private Gist[0] and add all the files you want into it. After that you can just use the Gist's ssh/https url under the "Embed" menu/dropdown.

This will allow you to specify exact files that get cloned.

Worth noting that although this analysis is a good one, and helps calm down the knee-jerk responses of "global warming is a fraud", your comment does not contradict the linked article, which does not argue that climate change is not real, but rather than GCMs are a tool of limited utility for predicting climate change or forming policy guidance around mitigating climate change.

The article does not discount the utility of GCMs in furthering our understanding of the climate in general, but reaches the conclusion that existing models are of limited utility when attempting to forecast the affect of policy changes (or the lack thereof) on climate trends.
I used your tool to get paid in the past. Thanks for making it.

Yes, that's mostly true.

In early days, native TCP/IP stacks wasn't good at handling so many simultaneous connections as ICQ needed to handle.

So AOL just wrote their own TCP/IP stack (I think they used this implementation not only in ICQ).

In modern days, it's legacy.

I think they already removed this stack since I left company.

So this title is a bit misleading; something like, "cells edited with CRISPR injected into a person for the first time" would be better. While CRISPR is promising for topological treatments, that's not what happened here.

The team took white blood cells out of a patient's body, used CRISPR to knock out a gene which suppresses immune response, then injected those same cells back into the patient, hoping that they would attack the cancer without that inhibiting gene.

If this were a live CRISPR treatment in a human, it would probably make more sense to just knock out the activated oncogene(s) in the patient's cancer cells and/or repair the deactivated tumor suppressant gene(s).

The trick was this: back then you'd check the associated email addresses of low ICQ numbers. If it was Yahoo, Hotmail and the like, there was a small chance that the email address expired and could be re-registered.

A component like jQuery plugin called Freud for jQuery.

I use it so much I nearly forgot I made it myself. With Freud you can apply 'behaviours' to DOM-elements. What this does is that it enables you to work with your DOM-elements in a more object oriented way.

What I use it most for is applying pieces of javascript on the page only when the DOM-elements that I apply freud to are on the page. This way all you get a lot less code in one big js file.

> selective voluntary amnesia

I'm lucky (?) enough to have the involuntary form of this to some degree for media. I will often forget the plot points of a movie I've watched within days to weeks, and in many cases after a year I have completely forgotten ever even having watched it. I'll pick a movie, my wife will say "we've already seen that", I'll say "I don't think so", she lovingly puts up with me because she luckily likes re-watching movies, and even by the end of the show I'll have nothing but a vague sense of deja-vu the whole time.

I have on multiple occasions, rewatched movies with twist endings like The Usual Suspects and still been surprised on the second or third viewing.

I'd rather have my wife's photographic (videographic) movie recall though...

This. IMO Snapchat is very hard to use for any kind of business application since it has no discoverability whatsoever.

My wife has 90k+ followers on Instagram and started using Snapchat up to the point where she had 4k+ views a day. When instagram launched the new stories thing she started using it slowly and has pretty much stopped using Snapchat now.

I always told that for her use case Snapchat wasn't a good fit because there is no way other than entering the username or scanning a qr code for her to be found and you have to rely on people not being lazy to add you.

Anyway, I still can't understand why hasn't Snapchat added some sort of search or trending profiles yet.

Agree with everything here. I posted an example [1] of how this can be solved now with C# (although in reality it just adds another 'equality solution' to the mix). It uses ad-hoc polymorphism to implement a type-class (interface) and instance (struct) approach, similar to Haskell. There's no IEqualityComparer instance allocation cost either.

> why are you compiling via Webpack serverside at all, that sounds like a bad idea?

Because it turned out to be faster to handle the compile serverside, then use hot-reloading.

Why are we using Webpack? Well because we use ES2016 for everything. I tried cutting down on the # of Babel transforms used, but some Babel plugins rely on the transform output of others (e.g. decorators/static members relies on ES2015 class transform), and so I ended up having to use 80% of all the 'standard' plugins anyways, plus everything up to stage 0.

The alternative was to go down to 3-4 second compile times, by eschewing everything that isn't implemented natively in Chrome. I rejected it as workable because our codebase was already pretty heavily leveraging decorators, but it's something to think about for other projects.

If you only use Chrome implemented features of ES2015, then all you need to make a build is a linker like Webpack/JSPM.

> That's crazy, you should check you're not running more stuff through babel than necessary.

Ah, I think you're saying this because of my 5k line of code figure for the JS project. I'm not counting dependencies... and some of those dependencies are really heavy, made worse because they load incompatible versions of things (e.g. Fbjs 0.13 vs fbjs 0.15).

The same is true for the Python project though, but Python is simply faster at linking pre-compiled files than Babel is. JSPM-client side is worse because it has to load each file individually in the browser and then check to compile it. Loading Babel itself in the browser via JSPM takes like 2 seconds.
It's one of those moments in war where technology leaps ahead of international law. Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions in 1977 outlawed the attack of "works or installations containing dangerous forces" to the civilian population [1]. You'd be very hard-pressed to argue it was illegal at the time. Whether it was immoral is, of course, up for debate!

>why not use a free stock image or a great work of art for the demo

Because a stock image is not standardized and has not been a standard for decades like Lenna has.

It's just about impossible to go back in history and change all the research papers and recompile all the algorithms and update them to a new image.

Of course we could still do it if enough people cared. But do we? is pornography morally bad? What about cropped pornography like lenna? Do the majority of people even think pornography is sexism? If it is sexism, then does that inherently make pornography bad? is all sexism bad? Is it bad that men are attracted to females/vis-versa and that sexually biased attraction exists? To me I would answer in the negative to all of these.
Wow, you've basically destroyed my entire argument!
