Interesting. I've been following the war in Iraq but I wasn't aware they were building so many walls.
Just a question. I see more of the commenters have posted their ICQ UIDs with the last digits hidden, like yours ( xxx in the end ).

Is there a particular reason for not revealing it?

I don't think anyone is; it's still too far out there. I'm sure that there's plenty of research building towards it, but I couldn't name any names. I'm also an outsider to the industry, but CRISPR is actually a simple protocol that doesn't require much advanced equipment, and I've been looking into using it for some home science projects.

The problem as I understand it is that right now, CRISPR requires some manual steps in the lab to make it work well. You can design the protein and guide RNA and spacers until you're blue in the face, but if you can't find a specific enough cutting site on the genome, or one that is close enough to your target, or something like that, you'll wind up with a lack of specificity in that cut, which can lead to unwanted mutations. And since the CRISPR system was originally a sort of bacterial immune system, it's really geared towards 'knocking out' specific genes by (I think, but I'm really shaky on this part) introducing a bunch of extra mutations when the cut it makes in the DNA gets repaired. But there are two kinds of repair mechanisms, and apparently there's a way to encourage the more accurate one, although this is really an area I need to read more about.

Anyways, the technique has also been used to introduce entirely new genes, but I think that involves using modified CRISPR proteins called 'nickase's to make single-stranded cuts in the DNA, rather than double-stranded ones. You introduce plasmid DNA with your genes to match up with the cleavage sites, and ideally it gets taken up.

Whatever the approach, you still aren't going to get 100% expression or transfection, and stable transfection either requires invasive techniques like biolistics (shooting DNA through membranes on accelerated nanoparticles) or delivery by viruses, which has a lot of potential, comparatively minimal side effects, and can even be targeted somewhat to certain types of cells. But I think the FDA is nervous about, especially in humans.

Again though, I'm a layman here too, so someone please correct me where I'm wrong :)
Akamai’s [state of the internet] / security – Q3 2016 report [pdf]
I used Windows laptop with bluetooth and linux machine in VirtualBox (that also provides a virtual internal network). I physically disconnected a laptop from the Internet and used standard Windows "share Internet connection" feature to "share" virtual network via bluetooth. So Windows thought that linux VM is an Internet gateway and provided DHCP service to bluetooth network. The phone connected via bluetooth, got an IP address and all its traffic was redirected to a virtual machine by Windows. Once you get traffic to go to linux machine everything gets easy (if your host OS is linux you could skip some steps and obviously you don't need VirtualBox).

I used Wireshark on Windows to check that everythink is set up correctly and to see what kind of requests the phone makes.

You can use WiFi instead of bluetooth the same way. You only need to use "hotspot" option and provide DHCP to a phone and set your linux machine as a gateway. Probably you can do that with a router too, for example if you connect its WAN port to your linux machine or set up traffic redirection.

On linux I redirected traffic from phone to localhost with ports 53 (DNS), 80/443 (HTTP) and rejected any other traffic (there were some requests to time servers, that were sent by drm component of Android). I also ran a DNS server (dnsmasq) and Squid HTTP proxy that can process redirected traffic (Squid can also generate certificates to decrypt HTTPS traffic which was very useful though it took some time to find correct settings). I set up dnsmasq and squid to serve requests based on white and black lists.

After I did some tests I found another, easier way to capture traffic from Android phone. Android has a useful "Always-on VPN" feature that sends all traffic through specified host (and doesn't allow any network access until VPN connection is set up). You only need to set up ipsec on a linux box (I used strongswan). I used "Always-on VPN" feature to redirect traffic to my VPS while using mobile internet connection.

> Based on what you say, maybe you proxied Internet connections through Bluetooth - do you have a way to know whether there was any leakage?

I physically disconnected a laptop from the Internet and monitored the traffic on a bluetooth interface with Wireshark. The phone did not have a SIM card inside so it could not connect to a mobile network.

> For example, I've read, but can't confirm, that Android makes connections during bootup and before any firewall takes affect.

This can be detected using my setup. But if software is programmed to send some data only via mobile network and not via WiFi/bluetooth then it is more difficult to detect. You would need to set up a fake BTS (using OpenBTS for example) to capture that traffic. You would need special (not very expensive) SDR hardware in this case.

> A VPN with a firewall might be easier.

I ended up with the same idea. I even wrote a simple PHP app to manage black and white lists and view logs.

Maybe you could describe the core use case? I was nodding my head all through that comment because I feel like I should like Snapchat, seems like everyone else does, but after each of several attempts I just uninstalled it because I would open it and wonder what I should be doing on it. I just didn't find myself experiencing things that were worth pulling out my phone for but not worth keeping permanently. And I just couldn't find accounts who posted anything worthwhile on there often enough.

Mine did for me, and I'm clean now. Opiate-replacement therapy is one of the few proven ways to truly help addicts reintegrate back into society. I can somewhat understand the moral argument against it, but the facts don't really support it; I am quite biased, however, as I'd be dead or in jail without it.
Hi,

This is Sami. I developed this comprehensive writing system of Arabic in Latin alphabet to help Arabic learners esp. beginners to improve their reading and writing skills in Arabic without the immediate need to be familiar with the Arabic script.

Okay then, I'll edit my post to more accurately say hundreds of Germans civilians died. Let me know at which collective number you will finally stop deflecting and say "Gee, you know - that IS a terrible tragedy"...

Edited after seeing your edit above: You seem to be equating all the German population in WWII as Nazis. I think I am beginning to understand the agenda of your posts now.
It is interesting to read that so little has changed since the days of Caesar. Reading his Gallic War you'd think the war was won by digging ditches and building walls. For instance, search for "fortification" on this page:

http://classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.5.5.html

Contrast with Galba in the early chapters of

You would only exaggerate a little to say that in his telling, victory is all about being prepared and not slacking off.

I spent most of my free time the last 1.5 years to make this 4-player iPad game together with my brother (developer) and two cousins (graphics).

Considering that it was our first Swift and SpriteKit project (my dayjob is programming business applications in Java), I am pretty proud of the outcome. It even got some reviews (one with a 92% rating!).

The only problem is, we completely underestimated how hard it is these days to get downloads for an old-fashioned "pay once for the whole thing" game. Currently we are in the process of converting it to a free to play model, hoping that more people try it. Wish us luck!

I have concerns they will not be able to reach stability in a reasonable time frame and am prepared to pull the plug and go to postgres if needed. The fact that they are trying to maintain compatibility with postgres really makes this gamble far less risky, and was a wise strategic move.

When Android was pretty new, I got the myTouch (the second public Android device) and was surprised that there was no way to easily see the exact battery level. I'd been a hobbyist programmer for quite some time, and it seemed like a problem I might be able to tackle. The result was Android's first battery indicator app, which remains by far the most-used piece of software I've ever built, with over 8 million downloads.
You really think so? If that is the case, why the long delays in IPOs? You'd think that a 'pump-n-dump' scheme would be more profitable then. Provided that you cannot be implicated in this via many shell companies.

This is a pretty weak argument, because (a) arguments from scientific validity always trump arguments from incentives, (b) you seem to assume that the incentives you list are all the incentives there are. Do note, for example, that scientists also face the incentive to do good science that can stand up to the scrutiny of their peers. It's not enough to point out that the science has some impact and call it a day (after all, almost all good science has impact).

For this to be an "illustration", as you put it, you'd have to first demonstrate that what they did was scientifically dubious, then conclude that they must have done the dubious thing because of incentives. You can't just point at the sign of the adjustment and invoke incentives.
I'd say you'd be much more convincing if you raised actual scientific issues, instead of making vague assertions about their incentives.
I love GTK2, but I can do without GTK3, seeing we're at 3.22 and it's still not as stable or regression free as GTK2.

I'd be the first to build and use a Firefox where the Qt port was updated and made to work but GTK is the GUI toolkit used by Firefox outside Android, macOS and Windows. That said, GTK2 was and still is very good at what it does. It just works but doesn't support Wayland.

I cannot move to Wayland anyway until xterm or rxvt-unicode are ported since XWayland integration is still imperfect. Like they wrote in the bug report, while GTK2 doesn't have a Wayland backend, GTK3's backend isn't really production quality either with dialogs sometimes opting to zoom out rather than scale out or general stability issues. If you try to start Firefox under Wayland by telling GDK to use Wayland, it just crashes on startup.
I still have that "uhoh" sound as my phones notification.
"Probably going out of business due to a lack of revenue."

No. This isn't really that true, the business has placed a great deal of investment on the following: hiring sales people, partnering with measurement (millward brown, nielsen) selling ads like crazy at a premium to the largest F500 brands in the world.

The biggest content creators, celebrities and normals are on the platform. They are creating new forms of expression which have been copied by incumbents namely Instagram.

They have made their first steps into hardware with spectacles which have generated similar type of hype as Yeezys.

So your arguments are not strong enough, its actually laughable you think it lacks revenue. When the S-1 document is public and the gross margins and employee count are revealed we'll see all the risk factors clearly.

Given that the founders most likely own most of the stock, this is a company that is definitely going to succeed as so many people want to work with them.

For an internet marketer you are woefully off the mark with comments like the above.

Did you mean to say GCE/AWS could gobble up "unpaid for" resources for their own computation?

Curious because if I pay for using a P100 for 2 hours - it is 100% available to me and not virtualized of any sort right?

However, if I use it only for 2 hours that day, and no one else were ready and waiting to buy the time on those, then Google uses it internally until...

Women were comparably more fond of ICQ and even now it's them who still hold on to it. It's very unlike the IRC sausage party. I think you would more likely to run into a girl pretending to be male.

Also, I have this feeling that it's much harder to disguise your gender in Russian than it is in English. First of all, everybody has it as first language with all its nuance and can guess a lot of things about their penpal. Discussions are also deeper, making it harder to fake.
How are you able to "see" the single bit errors? I had an ECC machine but I couldn't find any indication that ECC was working or that any bit errors happened.

Reading this I thought the best I could do is to believe that workstation with ECC modules and Xeon will have functioning ECC:

"Unfortunately, we have found that there is no consistent, conclusive way to determine if ECC RAM is working properly. ...We've actually asked Intel, Kingston and Asus over the years for their recommendations for methods to confirm that ECC is working, but we haven't gotten much more back than a blank stare."

Because hescos do not need logistical support 2 people can deploy one and fill it with sand and gravel even by hand if needed.

Hescos are also better since they don't cause ricochets and they don't shatter on impact creating shrapnel.

From my experience when concrete walls are used for fortifications the SOP was to cover them with a sheet of Kevlar like fabric between two layers of metal webbing (concrete bolt/nail gun was used to secure the webbing to the barrier) to protect personnel from secondary impact risks.

If that wasn't available then you usually had a layer of either sand bags or a spaced secondary wooden or sheet metal wall with sand filling the gap between it and the concrete.

When bullets are flying at you you want to be behind a barrier but not near a bare concrete wall.

Is this meant as a romanization method, such as ローマ字ーー＞ 'romaji/roumaji' or as a way to have "more correct" pronunciation for learners?

I hold a firm belief that romanization is terrible for learning a language. It is counter productive (less inclination to learn the proper writing system(s)), leads to incorrect pronunciations more often than not, and there are always competing standards - so two people may learn two different ways to romanize a word, which can be a problem for homophones.

To at least try and give some constructive feedback, use of IPA [0] would be beneficial for reinforcing pronunciations.

A price record not a performance one.

Also, seeing how expensive it is to sort 100TB ($144) you have to wonder why it wouldn't be better to do it on your own hardware.
That's not what I remember though it's quite possible. The development was outsourced to SWRI who does quite a lot of this work. There was a spec and SWRI developed everything from the formulation (binders, structural members etc) to the manufacturing process (something that survived mfg intact and in which failures wouldn't gum up the works) and mfg equipment. But it's quite possible a prototype had been developed at P&G's labs first (I have no idea if I would have been told that, or if I was and have forgotten).
