>represented an analogy for the threat of global nuclear war; however, since 2007 it has also reflected climate change,[4] and new developments in the life sciences and technology that could inflict irrevocable harm to humanity.[5]

It has been this way for nearly a decade. It's also plausible that they are linked - climate change destroying natural resources (land, food, etc.) certainly has the potential to inflict political instability and conflict.
Using Apollo Server, I get around authentication with an auth query which updates the context object of the query with the auth token of the user. Then, any subsequent queries can use that auth token to authenticate the user and authorize it for the query themselves.

I've also seen it where the authentication is handled by middleware before GraphQL even touches the request. I figure those two methods work for about every use case.
"The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes" - Donald Trump

Both of these quotes within the last month. Are you serious??????
What does it mean to say that analog and digital computers have the same computational power? My intuition would be something like: for any function calculable by an analog computer, for any desired degree of precision, there is a Turing-computable function which approximates it to that degree of precision. But you have to be a bit finnicky, since you can't actually feed an analogue input to a digital computer, either. So it has to be some relation between the precision of the input and the precision of the output. And of course there's the other direction, that analogue computers can simulate digital ones.

Do you know whether anything like this been formalized and proven?

Wait, do these numbers include the cost of land in the package or are these just the construction costs? Otherwise, I'm confused about this. My experience is that if there's a single family home sitting next to a tower of condos, the cost of single family home will always be higher than the cost of a single condo of similar quality in the tower, due to the cost of land alone. In fact, many times a 100-year old wooden SFH would still be more expensive than a brand new concrete condo.

No, actually you are right. You CANT convince me. Before I appreciate the legal opinion on some poster on ycombinator I prefer the opinion of a former German supreme court judge:

>And I guarantee you even if things were equal, which they are not, you would want your own stuff, not someone else’s cells.

This sounds like wishful thinking from VC who just put a lot of money into the Bespoke solution. The idea of immunotherapy is that your injecting cells that can attack the cancer. What does it matter it it's your own cells especially when the cost is an order of magnitude bigger.
In order to get this to happen, you MUST take it to court, and to do that you need to find someone to whom this technicality applies. Thus if it was not this (alleged) murderer, it would have been an alleged thief or an alleged drug dealer. These sorts of things rarely have a warm and fuzzy person in the spot light, because those rarely need such protection.
You can't just say "survivor bias" and think you have a solid argument. Let's examine your objection more critically.

I mentioned I'd carried every day since 2006. Suppose this isn't quite true, and I've only carried 330 days per year (this is too low, but still). Further, we just started 2017, and I started carrying in August 2006. This means I've carried roughly 3,437 days. If my carrying a Glock on any given day is as high as 99.9% safe (i.e., I have a 0.01% chance of a negligent discharge), then I should have a "survival" probability of only 3.2%. If my daily safety probability drops to only 99.7%, my probability of getting to now with no ND is 0.0%. Decreasing my daily safety probability to only 99% means my probability of no ND is 9.95e-14.

Now think about what this means. Either:

1. Carrying a Glock is very unsafe, and I'm incredibly lucky. In this case your claim of survivor bias would be warranted (assuming there weren't many others like me, which there are).

2. Carrying a Glock is very safe, and the chances of an ND are substantially less than 0.01% per day, in which case the charge of survivor bias is unwarranted.

It strikes me that #2 is the clear winner here.

The full paper states that they did this prior to even phase I of clinical trials:

I guess the proceedings of the ethical reviews would be quite interesting.
I always love technological solutions that ease the path forward to meaningful action.

I wonder if there's a way to algorithmically determine how a candidate with subpar funding could beat somebody established with many more (a playbook of kinds). That would be the next step forward -- sure, you can run, but it flips the dynamic when you're smart about running to win.

I strongly recommend this attitude. A tool off the shelf rarely fits the hand well; when the tool in question serves to help investigate the self, a prepackaged methodology poses the risk of shaping oneself to fit the tool, rather than the other way around.

Interesting to see the love/hate. We are just starting a new blank slate code base and decided to go straight to C++17. We need expressivity early on, high performance later. And a model where someone can really get high performance on the core and still let people prototype / experiment down the road. It's pretty well supported by gcc & clang which are the compilers we care about.

I haven't really done much C++ programming in 20 years so approached it as a brand new language (to me) that I'd never used before. It's a big but powerful standard. I can't say I adore the syntax, but it's subject to path-dependent constraints that you just have to put up with.

I'm still looking for good references to style and practice that are appropriate to the latest C++. Books targeted at C++11 are pretty useful but it's too early to have more than the standard to help with 1y features.
Agreed. The tooling around deep learning is not as mature as the tooling around software development. There is a fair amount of engineering and grunt work needed to even get started, let alone build on others' research. A few problems from top of mind:

- Setup: Installing DL frameworks, Nvidia drivers and CUDA is an exercise in dependency hell. Trying to run someone's project, which has different dependencies than what you have is difficult to get right. Docker images [1] and nvidia-docker make this simple, but are still not the norm.

- Reproducibility: This is big as Denny mentions. Folks still use Github for sharing code. But DL pipelines need versioning of more than just code. It's code, environment, parameters, data and results.

- Sharing and collaboration: I've noticed that most collaboration on deep learning research, unlike software, happens only when the folks are co-located (e.g. part of the same school or company). This likely links back to reproducibility, but there are not many good tools for effective collaboration currently IMHO.

> "Almost certain" seems like an exaggeration. At my college (Yale), the "student government" was basically just a committee to plan Spring Fling. You can see their budget online:

As a counterpoint, Columbia's student government is quite powerful.

There are multiple levels (with different domains of influence), but the most powerful is the student senate - each school is allotted two (I think) student senators, and they have the same level of authority as the senators representing the faculty, etc.

Columbia also has a long history of political activism and public protest, and the University Senate was actually established in the wake of the most famous of these[0], to provide students with a structured outlet for supporting or opposing university policies that did not involve literally occupying buildings on campus.

As far as elected representation within a private institution goes, it's not perfect, but it's pretty well-executed.

The original statement regarding Swift 4 was "the primary goals are to deliver on the promise of source stability from 3.0 on, and to provide ABI stability for the standard library."

The article seems very anti-socialist:

I have no idea how it is in Venezuela, but as a citizen of former socialist / now capitalist republic I take such articles with a grain of salt.

One could also argue that they are basically stealing the (heavily subsidized) energy from other citizens of Venezuela. In capitalism such thing would be normal, but in socialism it is far from it.

"wars, pandemics, civil unrest; only violent shocks like these have substantially reduced inequality over the millennia."

No. The history of Anglo culture has been as violent as any other - but not in revolutionary terms.

Same thing for Scandinavian cultures.

UK/Australia/Canada/NZ have relatively reasonable rates of inequality and there has been no revolution.

Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland - have likely the highest degree of 'equality' and yet - there has been no revolution. Their Monarchies and State Churches remain intact to this day.

The American revolution - though important in terms of world history - was a pretty minor affair - the colonies were small and sparse at the time.

It's also very difficult to consider 'revolution' before recorded history as there were no 'social movements' as we understand them, granted, studying revolution before the common are would be worth an academic exercise.

I never thought that forcing cable companies to create apps for other devices was right. Forcing a company to develop software felt wrong.

The issue is not that cable companies have a monopoly on delivering live tv to consumers. A consumer can get live tv from Sling, PS Vue, DirectTv Now and soon Hulu. They can purchase a $59 Roku stick for each tv and get all of the channels they want over the internet.

The real issue is lack of competition when it comes to delivering internet that allows the cable company to have unreasonable data caps. There are also plenty of states that are passing laws that won't let cities build their own internet service. If more people had access to reasonable data limits they wouldn't need cable or the Sergio boxes.

Luckily, I live in area served by Comcast and AT&T. I pay $70 a month for symmetrical 1Gbps internet and my house is wired for Gig E. I subscribed to Hulu, Sling, CBS All Access, Netflix (which I had when I had cable) and Amazon Prime. I also have a Plex Server. All six of our TVs have either Roku boxes or AppleTVs.

If I had cable, I would be paying $50 extra per month just for box rentals and that doesn't include another $25 in HD Technology fees, Sports Access Fees, Network Access Fees, and other fees.
I can explain the first quote.

In a universal donor scenario, the T-cells are engineered, error corrected and tested once. From there, they can be multiplied pretty cheaply. Most of the cost is in the initial engineering.

In a patient cell scenario, each individual patient's cells must be engineered, tested and delivered. This is obviously much more expensive.

A very crude computer science analogy would be the difference between scaling up a load balanced application relative to adding a new server from bare metal without automated scripts.

Why the treatment would cost half a millions dollars at the market is outside of my purview, so I'm eager to get an explanation as well.
How valuable is the information on your laptop to the NSA? If it's under $100k you're probably ok doing what Stallman does https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html . If you have information worth over $5M to the NSA, then you better get physical security personnel as well as network and hardware security personnel; maybe ally yourself with a different powerful state or corporate actor. In other words you need to make their expected cost of getting that information significantly higher than it's worth.

Alright.. What I meant to say was,

Types don't enforce all meaning ie., the enforcement of contracts through types go only as far as they mean something to the problem you are applying it to. It does not cover all the complexities of the problem, or the way the code is changed in the future.

EDIT: This is also why it is easy (and nice) to implement parsers in strictly typed functional languages, because parsers are well studied theoretically. The problems in the real world are not studied well enough for contracts enforced via types to work completely.

I misspoke; I meant to say 'obscurity', which is the relevant concept in this thread, and there are most certainly reasons to have security through obscurity: once you've found a flaw, you must fix it before its obscurity vanishes. This is certainly relevant it the development of fuzzers where novel approaches could reveal 0-days.
