Here is an even more extensive study on the academic achievements of African immigrants and their descendants in the U.S. and U.K. [0]

If anything, the research demonstrates that the Igbo from Nigeria are exceptionally successful - more high achieving than Chinese and Indians:

"Africans speaking Luganda and Krio did better than the Chinese students in 2011. The igbo were even more impressive given their much bigger numbers (and their consistently high performance over the years, gaining a 100 percent pass rate in 2009!). The superior Igbo achievement on GCSEs is not new and has been noted in studies that came before the recent media discovery of African performance. A 2007 report on “case study” model schools in Lambeth also included a rare disclosure of specified Igbo performance (recorded as Ibo in the table below) and it confirms that Igbos have been performing exceptionally well for a long time (5 + A*-C GCSEs); in fact, it is difficult to find a time when they ever performed below British whites."

That code doesn't prove what you say it proves. That's one snap-shot in time where what you say applies at that moment. There's no telling what happened before or after it by just reading the document. It also doesn't account for the fact that her team worked on multiple modules per Hoag's write-up which just have the team leader's names in that code instead of her team's.

Got any other evidence from primary sources like the one I shared with specific timelines for specific people? I'll actually look that them as I'm willing to change my position with good data. I just tested it on how much her people contributed to the code using the Hoag reference. That got confirmed. Now I'm reassessing her leadership roles within the program.
Compiling C++ is usually pretty slow. Go and C would be significantly faster.

I know Google and a couple other companies are designing their own hardware to reduce overheads like power and square footage. Does Amazon do the same?
No, I don't claim that PWT predicts different behavior. PWT is reinterpretation of physic facts we already have.

However, walking droplets shows that relativistic and quantum effects can be explained in terms of Newtonian physics. For example, just by looking at walking droplet experiment with two slits, I can say that speed of sound in water is constant and it isotropic regardless of speed of particle, because waves around particle are propagating, so water is not moving at all (unless wave is really big, so path to travel will be longer). It is easy to understand. It also explains why Michelson-Morley experiment failed.
Even supposing you're right, what's your point?

Many years back a songwriter in the area around Stuttgart wrote a song in local dialect about Mercedes drivers:

I fahr Daimler, Stroß gehört meer, wer net Platz macht den nehm i aufs Korn und ins Visir....

I drive Mercedes, Street belongs to me, anyone not yielding, that one is going to be taken into my cross-hairs.

E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3nMUm4iy8Q

At the end it becomes clear the bully behind the 500SE Mercedes is just the chauffeur.
[...] if this thing pans out (and it's looking more and more like it will) [...]

Totally not, this is still with 99+ % a measurement error. We really understand theoretical physics pretty well, physicist have repeatedly predict measurement outcomes to a part in a million and less, have predicted particles decades ahead of the experiments discovering them. People really underestimate the power of theoretical physics and if there is a conflict between theory and experiment, it will almost always be the experiment that is wrong.
Yeah, that's kind of misguided. The biggest advantages of dynamic languages when doing "exploratory" programming are late binding, built-in syntax for commonly used data structures and duck typing. Those allow you to scaffold a lot of stuff pretty quickly, try the bit of code that you care actually care about, and then decide from there whether you want to do a full implementation or just use the snippet you wrote.

Compare that to a language like older Java, where you need to build a class no matter what, most likely you need to implement a few interfaces and add a lot of exception handling just to get the scaffolding in place, and if you want to initialize something as simple as a hash map you have to do it the painstakingly, line by line way. Sure, your prototype may (or may not, depending on how serious you were about handling those exceptions) be more solid, but it took you double the time to get there, which is basically the opposite of what prototyping should be.

With all that said, and being a huge Python fan, I still feel like strongly typed languages should be a requirement for bigger projects that you plan to maintain for years. Python, as great as it is, starts hurting a lot at a larger scale. I'm really looking forward to using something like MyPy once my projects start being Python 3+ by default.
Personally I don't think there is one.

Any such protocol would reduce these apps to a 'lowest common denominator' of features.

And in the current climate, its features (not interoperability) that sells.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see one. But I can't see it appearing until the business case demands it.
(NB: I don't do HIV research.) You are correct.

Obviously, curing HIV is an open research question, but also the way to go about curing this retroviral infection is still unknown. When there is sustained virologic response, we know that the virus will come back if drugs are withdrawn. Exactly which niche of cells have integrated HIV into their genome, and how to identify them, is an active area of research at least as of about a year ago when I last looked into it (hint: probably macrophages and T cells).

The Berlin patient shows that cure is possible via treatments that also eradicate the bone marrow, but these are not generalizable across populations due to the high morbidity and mortality.

For prevention, vaccination that can generate antibodies such as the one in the article would be highly valuable. Less valuable but still very beneficial would be a long-lasting monoclonal antibody injection that can be given once a month (or ideally less often) to reduce the likelihood that high-risk individuals become infected.

For cure, I suspect that an approach which pairs replication suppression with genome editing tools, such as CRISPR, may ultimately prove successful in curing individuals of HIV.

Plus they have a real customer service culture, something Google seems allergic to.

Edit: posts further down from mine seem to suggest my sentiment is outdated and Google takes cloud support very seriously in their teirs.
https://cloud.google.com/support/
I agree with this sentiment. I live in Mt View and we regularly have Google cars on our roads. The cars drive either slowly, or very slowly, and I always try to pass them. I've seen other drivers do the same. If / when the cars become more common, I expect people to do more advanced tactics like cutting the cars off for merging into lanes.
Also there are many things a lot of people may call obvious, but is not quite so obvious.

I actually went the reverse direction, from theoretical physics to mathematics, because I was disappointed with the lack of mathematical rigor, and that the workd of mathematics is a lot more interesting once you get to proofs.

Hm. This seems difficult to prevent without really preventing a lot of valid use cases.
How much evidence is needed to motivate testing it in space? It seems that would settle the dispute regarding whether it works or not. Considering how inexpensive cubesats are to launch, it seems like it could be launched for about $100k, not including the additional R&D.
The design needs some work though. You can make it much better quickly by a few quick steps:

- Replace the horrible box shadows with one from here: http://cssdeck.com/labs/16-box-shadows-to-save-your-time

- Add box shadows/borders to the square images.

- Think about white space. There's basically no space between the paragraphs, yet huge space between the sections. Why?

- Apply a super slight linear gradient (the two colors should look the same) to the buttons, with perhaps a thin border with a similar color and some slight shadows. The green should be replaced anyway.

- Think about the typography. The general text here seems a little bold, try a font-size of 300.

Those quick tips make most typical "developer designs" much better quickly.
This is actually a great point. Thanks for sharing. I should maybe considering removing LIME in that context or changing the wording.
We pay 10+k/mo for our AWS support, and it has never paid off, even with multiple phantom errors and failures... the top level support supposedly being paged out of bed for me doesn't have answers. Always had to simply restore from backup without a good report to share with mgmt.
That's why like most people publishing an app to the Play Store, I created a separate account just for this purpose.

It's as close to a dropdown as you can get in the CLI without putting GUI elements over the top. Try

gci - then ctrl+space

The available parameters appear on the screen, you can select one with the arrow keys, and tab, when you choose one and press space, they all disappear again. It's interactive, dynamic, it changes depending on how much of the parameter name you've typed - it's not just printing to the screen and stuck there.
That's not what I was referring to. I was responding to the claim that pharmas are inclined to make treatments instead of cures in order to transform a terminal illness into a chronic one and thus make more money long term.

I agree with finid in that the only real way to drive consistent traffic is with good content. One good suggestion that I've heard floating around the SEO community is to create a 'Beastly Resource' with content you know people will want and give it out for free. For example, if your website is about programming and you're a master with CSS, consider creating an awesome guide on CSS. If you're interested, here's an SPI podcast with Neil Patel that explores this topic in more depth:

I think the ideal goal would be to create a vaccine that would induce a immune response producing this antibody immediately on contact with HIV. In that case I don't know that we know whether it would just keep it at bay or if it would be able to essentially prevent infection in the first place.

I think deep learning can be seen as a class of machine learning techniques with more flexibility and which uses neural networks (usually with quite a few layers).
Gruesome factoid: Balls and chains were a common cannon load for clearing infantry, ship sails and rigging, and other diffuse targets. So this was arguably a straightforward adaptation.
>"we've tested primates on isolated islands and found that they are also infected, so if you find SIV infected primates on an island that was isolated from mainland Africa 30,000 years ago and it's preset within 100% of the primate population you know it's at least that old."

This sounds familiar, do you remember the ref? From what I remember the degree of "isolation" was questionable.
You're just missing it. Take a walk around the block some time. Time is more than free when it is your own, especially if you're learning something new or enjoying yourself.
Maybe it isn't strictly sticking to the definition of stoicism I've found this effective, surprisingly, in road rage or what some would call bullying situations. When someone is getting aggressive, I have just stayed serious, calm and looked slightly determined. I keep eye contact and try to think about being bored as well. When bully-types blow up at a stranger, they usually do it to someone that they think will back down. When they don't, they get confused.
They don't have 100M users. Just 100M names from scraping Quora, Linkedin etc.

They probably have less than 1000 users I'm guessing.
I think in many ways this could be considered a feature and not a problem. Why does it matter if someone butts in front of you? The passengers in the car can relax and let the computer handle the task. Yes it's important to avoid deadlock while merging during congestion but aggressive drivers will always try to butt in front of likely looking candidates, autonomous or not, and this usually doesn't stop progress of the line in general, just maybe frustrates the non-driver?
The question is then what really matters?

It is turtles all the way down once you start peeling.
That is an awesome project, much better than the QR Clock I did.

My experience with the clock was that I really needed ECC mode 'M' to get the maximum ECC bits which worked around all sorts off issues with differences in scan rates between display and reader.

In my setup the QR clock is displayed on an array of 64 x 64 LEDs, when the LEDs were operating at a 60hz refresh rate you could induce some pretty interesting interference with the camera scan rate on phones with QR readers, once I boosted the refresh rate to 240 hz that interference went away, then it was a question of how much "dwell time" did the code need to be recognized and I got it down to 100mS as the fastest I could go and the QR libraries on the iPhone and Android could still pick it up.

So for reliability considerations maximize the display refresh rate and the ECC correction level.
I don't understand what you mean here. What in particular did you think he was going through just to please the compiler?

It's an antibody, so in theory the human body can produce it itself. That's how vaccines work: they trick your body into producing antibodies against the real pathogens.

The question is whether all humans can produce this, or just some genotypes. If it's the latter, then yes, some people would have to take it as medicine and never stop.
Hmm, I wonder how well that would work. I believe HIV mutates a lot, and so if you infected yourself with a "nonpathogenic" version, I'm not sure it would remain so forever. (Though it says "develop", so perhaps they could find or introduce some other weaknesses in that strain, and let it kill all the existing HIV, then flood the patient's body with something that kills the new strain before it can mutate.)
Whole lot of 'race realism' in this thread even for hacker news.

This is a great point, would be worth further investigation. And I agree with your general interpretation. It would be interesting to look further at where CNN is failing to detect bad ones and where the feature engineered one picks them up.
I adore cycling but I've had to stop as I started to develop RSI, first in one wrist, and then in the other. I actually think it was cycling that was the proximate cause.

General gym workouts help, so long as I use weights and machines with care. But I have gone back biking after forgetting about the wrist pain, only for it all to come back and become chronic again.
What you are doing is proving that there is a strong difference in behaviour among ethnic groups and that racism doesn't really account for (assuming 'Black people' face the same degree of racism wherever they are from).

Your articles say nothing about the possibility of variance in intelligence among different groups.
I wish you do adopt children and read 1984 and Brave New World to them. It will take more than a generation to drive us into the ground, and I like to believe it's not too late to forcefully swing the pendulum back.
You're right, custom elements don't do that, and it's not a goal of the custom elements spec (as far as I can tell) to promote any particular programming style. It's a low level spec. So showing the most low-level way to use it makes sense.

Here's a library that combines custom elements with VDOM rendering: https://github.com/skatejs/skatejs

Considering that the foundation of democracy requires a LOT of investment and involvement at the individual level, probably a lot. When everyone's voice matters everyone NEEDS to be well informed and active in their government. (Also, this is why the US does not have a democracy.) One way to "achieve" involvement is to just straight up watch everybody. Granted, that's not exactly what's going on here. But my guess is a culture that openly debates matters of government probably tolerates more public views of personal matters than others. Rampant individualism probably emboldens all this.
Just curious, what type of AWS instances you use? And also is it on-demand instance or reserved instances? I'm using AWS for couple of years, exploring other options.

The pictures in this NYT article are worse than useless... the header image I'm pretty sure is CGI, or heavily Photoshopped to the point where it looks like it's CGI. We then go to a 1970's model of the entrance to the building for some reason, and then finish it up with a picture of a security camera on the outside of a concrete wall (part of the building? I guess?)

If you click through to The Intercept's article, you get two night-time pictures of the building, the same 1970's model of the entrance (for whatever reason), another night time shot that's too close to make out the building and where the actual focus of the shot is the building behind it, a picture of the intercom (wtf), a blueprint of one of the floors, a fucking sketch of the lobby, a picture of the satellite dishes on top of the building, a Visio document of their network diagram, a logo for one of their programs, another night time picture of the entrance to the building, and then finally a picture from nearly 30 years ago of a man sitting at a computer.

There are way too many pictures in this article that is about a building yet there are zero pictures of the actual building itself! First of all, I thought "Manhattan Tower" was the name of the building. Turns out it's just some building in Manhattan. But for an article about a building, there's a conspicuous lack of pictures of the actual building itself.
See, that's precisely the attitude I mean. I want something and I know what I want, but Unity devs and people like you are certain that I am mistaken and do, in fact, not know what I want. That is precisely why I do not like Unity.

>"And yes we've discovered SIV later because AIDS happened then we found that it's a virus and not because they are gay, so people started looking at it's source and discovered SIV, FIV, EIAV and others."

This doesn't really fit with the narrative in the paper I linked. They give this reason: "It was the impression of workers at the New England Regional Primate Research Center that there had been an increase in the number of deaths in its macaque colony."
However, if a competing venture capital company funds the cure when you fund the treatment then you lose your investment.

Ok so explain that process without hand waving then! There are plenty of cases of bundling that are 1) Allowed to operate under scrutiny of competition authorities 2) Can be theoretically/empirically justified on efficiency grounds. The emphasis is on you to demonstrate that this is not the case if you are arguing that the constraint is unreasonable. This is the basis of modern antitrust enforcement.

One possible efficiency justification for bundling.
