This is wrong on a number of levels. I've worked for a couple biotech companies and typically the commercial viability of a drug isn't examined until about phase 1. And even then it's a very rough estimate. I highly doubt any company is calculating an ROI at the screening stage.

Second, it's typically the science that limits the effectiveness of therapy, not the potential ROI. The reason why many drugs only treat symptoms is because that's the best science can do right now.

Third, curing a disease can often have a much better ROI than just treating symptoms forever. Look at Gilead's hepatitis C cure. Before it came to market the drug revenue for that disease was maybe $2 billion. The first year that Gilead's drugs were on the market, they sold $12 billion. The cure was way more profitable.
I don't know if that sentence is a grammatical correct sentence in English. Moreover, I don't know what the meaning of the sentence.

I wonder how the other NLP tools parse that sentence. These are the results:

* Spacy [1]

Well, that sentence really makes NLP tools confused.

"What we observe is that the probability of having money m is actually m^(-alpha). Therefore the money is not being exchanged randomly, and the richest agents probably aren't lucky."

No, it means that you're using the wrong model. There are lots of models of "random" behavior. You can't just pick one out because you like it, and conclude that a system isn't "random" because the model you've chosen doesn't fit the data.

The article isn't especially convincing either, but at least they're describing a model that looks somewhat like money, and produces a distribution that matches what's observed in reality. You're describing a model that looks like atoms, and concluding that money isn't random because it doesn't look like atoms.

That's kind of missing the point a bit. He is really looking for what all IT managers are looking for at companies of a certain size: someone to pull his kahones from the fire when and as where needed.

The real answer is: yes, there are people who can give you this level of support if you use Postgres, at I suspect cheaper rates and likely with a faster response time.

For the situation to occur that he describes with an Oracle database then a truly terrifying sequence of catastrophic events must have occurred, because Oracle is quite recoverable. But then again, so is Postgres. And under normal circumstances, Oracle support is absolutely dreadful, so I shudder to think what sort of money they paid Oracle to recover from this event!
That was kind of my point. It's not in the constitution and conflicts with the constitution.
I personally think it's funny that people mix secure communication and email. Secure system should be built to be secure. Email isn't a good option for that. Most systems are designed to be insecure and email is just a great example.

Expensive or not, they didn't do it, so we don't know if those compounds actually work.

Am I missing something or did they also not use a held-out validation dataset to assess performance? It seems to me they ran their autoencoder, got some suggested compounds, listed anecdotal evidence about those compounds, and called it a day.

Regarding critical thinking, I found this quite an interesting line of thought: https://points.datasociety.net/did-media-literacy-backfire-7...

What is the best summary of the TPP? It was done in such secrecy that it occurs to me that this may be the only good thing that comes from a Trump presidency.
It depends on the place. If you're in an expensive restaurant or a movie theater, yes, you should most definitely care if your kids are bothering people.

If you're in the supermarket or some other public place, well, kids are kids, and shopping has to get done. All you can do is ensure that a tantrum is always wasted effort, and little kids stay in the novelty race car-shaped cart so that they aren't toppling the pyramid of soup cans onto themselves.

Might be slightly off-topic, but I'm still curious about one experience:

On return flight from US I refused to use full body scanner. I got 'thorough pat' (called that way probably to scare us, although it wasn't so bad), also my carry-on was checked in detailed way.Interesting things happened further, I have two stage flight.

1. On first landing in Germany, while moving by foot to next connection, I was picked by Germany border officers from all passengers going through corridor, and examined for about 5 minutes, also my carry on was scanned. Nothing serious, but happened first time ever (try of 20 I would say)

2. on final destination, while I picked my checked bag, it was marked with stickers, and I was picked by border people of my country, also asked, both bags checked.

3. At home I saw TSA notice inside of my checked bag.

Last thing wasn't unusual, I would say I had it on 30% flights from US, but all three items in a row connected somehow (?) to the full body scan refusal, were a little bit too much for a pure coincidence.

The solution is already rapidly inbound, few are talking about it for some reason though. Within three or so years, everyone will be talking about the obvious solution to it. You'll see dozens upon dozens of articles pop up in that time, talking about the same thing...

For less than $20,000 you can start experimenting with new attacks on infection and resistance, in your kitchen (so to speak; I'd suggest a real lab), using CRISPR. You can order the bacterial samples you need very inexpensively, and just begin working on it. Based on the current legal position of Broad and Berkeley, You can also do any work you want around Cas9 or Cpf1 in the US, without concerns for licensing/patents (until or less you plan to commercialize).

Only a few interesting things are out there about it now, that'll change very soon:

> In fact you could argue it's in the best interest of drug companies to keep us sick!

This assumes there's only one drug company. If company A's medicine heals me an company B's medicine does not then I chose company A's and company B's goes out of business.

So no, a drug company does not have an incentive to keep me sick.
People shouldn't have a supply for use when they feel like it. Antibiotics are a last resort, not first!

If someone has some left over then they did not finish the previous course, which means that they have potentially allowed the strongest bacteria from the previous illness to live on.

Maybe it's not common knowledge, but taking antibiotics is essentially putting evolution into overdrive. At first you kill off the weakest bacteria and then only later the most able to survive. If someone ends their course early, they are allowing the best adapted bacteria to live on and multiply.

Perhaps the person wouldn't be getting sick the second time if they had finished their course in the first place.

Also, taking antibiotics also does harm to a person's own flora, not just the invaders. So, please don't take antibiotics if you don't need them, and finish them when you do need to.

Edit: removed extra 'not' in first paragraph.

I think you are both right, both forces (and more) are at work. Market effects are not about what individuals plan or want, it's about system outcomes.

If, just as a thought experiment, it was possible to treat a disease quickly with a cheap drug or intervention, for example a cheap herbal drug that is available patent-free and for mere cents per liter, there would be no business in it, so no company could viably pursue this. The market selects for treatments that give a lot of profit. That always or even merely "usually" automatically somehow translates into the best option from a public health point of view only if you close your eyes and make lots of assumptions about how great the market magic works - in a market with extremely unequal information and very high pressure on customers (when you are sick).

On the other hand you are right that symptom treatment usually is the best we can do. The body is built during the early years and from then on it's maintenance, also what the body itself does and not just the doctors (it does not regenerate most structures, only repair). Just more and more ever more horrible hacks, workarounds and kludges and patches delaying the long decline more or less well. Or as most drugs do, don't even repair anything, just push levers and buttons in the body, but it doesn't do anything structural unless the body does it on its own. So if the structures don't regenerate the button-pushing drug has to be take lifelong.

That is so fundamental to complex life forms that current medicine simply cannot work against it. Maybe never, because replacing a structure in the grown body is much more difficult than growing it with everything else. For example, the difficulty of finding the path for new axons after a spinal injury is much greater than building everything together during very early development. Medicine would not just have to achieve what nature already does (when the body is assembled) - it would have to become far better! Repairing something often is much more difficult than starting from scratch.
AFAIR the messy release for ruby was 1.8 -> 1.9 (the new VM, changes to encodings, OS-level threading etc) but both that change and 1.9->2.0 worked out _much_ better than python 2->3.

As I understand it, Matz considers the upgrade strategy until now quite successful, mostly because at the same time breaking changes occurred people got things they wanted (e.g. faster VM) which encouraged them to upgrade.

Hence the "ruby 3 will be 3 times faster than ruby 2" idea, that's the carrot that should contrast people's will to not update.
They should indeed. Would it be too much to expect literate people to read the bit of paper that comes in the prescription package making clear that the patient should complete the course.
I also wonder that. I've read good things about OpenRC, but I always thought of the lack of runlevels as a defining feature of BSD, so color me a little sad to see this go into a BSD operating system.

Those pesky voters, getting in the way of any decent democratically elected Congress! I quite agree, all legislation should be formulated in secrecy and foisted on them at the last moment.

The only thing that could improve this situation is that deals should be formed in complete secrecy, with no input from Congress or the Senate and should be ratified solely by the President via a treaty process.

You really want to ensure the Great Unwashed and those incompetents they elect indirectly don't get any where near trade deals, otherwise they might possible make "improvements" such as forcing through openness, accountability, fairness and equality! All of which are totally the anathema of good backroom deals.

Based on my world view, convictions and (of course limited) knowledge of humanity, I consider trends towards authoritarianism, zero-sum thinking, marginalization and glorification of the past a bad thing.

I do not see any evidence at all that this would create a better society for anyone (except the very few who'll be in power).

Of course, I might be wrong. But we have enough learnings from the history of human kind to make some rather safe predictions about the outcomes of certain directions and types of thinking.
Yes, resistance to antibiotics comes with a cost. There are several mechanisms for antibiotic resistance. For example, the bacteria could produce a protein that pumps the antibiotic out of the cell. Producing this protein is expensive, so in the absence of antibiotics, bacteria tend to lose the genes responsible for it.

To me secrecy sort of makes sense because it's a negotiation.

You don't want to show your cards in a negotiation, right? So how could the President and Congress say to the American people "this is what we're going to offer and accept from China" and pretend that the Chinese aren't going to hear it too?

Secrecy is often a horrible idea but this is a really complicated issue.

while this is true there are already mechanisms built to counter this uncertainty, i.e. you can get insurance for operating in "dangerous" countries.

It's not just openrc transition, PC-BSD was based on FreeBSD stable, TrueOS is based on current. I also hope things will stabilize for them as I want to see a viable alternative to Linux. Also Lumina is their in house desktop environment which is kinda cool.

Yes it is a bit unnecessary in the simple list example above, but Endo becomes useful when using arbitrary nested Foldable structures and when composing monoids, e.g a pair of monoids is also a monoid. In other words, it becomes useful at scale.

> It's easy to say that you're happier alone.

Yeah, it's easy to say almost anything.

> It's much more difficult to admit to yourself that you have social anxiety that keeps you from making relationships.

Nah, not that difficult, just as easy as to say or admit almost anything. The only problem is that I don't have social anxiety. E.g., one may claim that it must be very hard for me to admit that I enjoy masturbating to copro-necro-midget pornography. I'd disagree, because it's very easy for me to admit that, especially when I'm effectually anonymous. The only problem is that I don't enjoy masturbating to copro-necro-midget pornography, so I see no sense in admitting it, just like I see no sense in admitting that I have social anxiety.

> A human that does the first will decay over time. A human that does the second can be anything he/she wants to be.

What about a human that does the third, the fourth, etc.? Your logic seems pretty binary to me.

> There is enormous supporting evidence that quantity and quality of relationships are directly correlated to happiness

Yeah, it may be true. I could have been happier if I were not me, but somebody else who is more of a social whore. The only problem is, I am me and not somebody who can become more of a social whore. Trying to become more of a social whore was what kept me unhappy. After I decided to stop trying and accepted myself as unlikable, confrontational and angry person, I became more happy.

Also, it's okay for you to think that I have issues, deceive myself, should change, etc. I disagree and don't care enough to try to convince you that you are wrong, because your opinion is pretty much irrelevant to me.

That doesn't explicitly mention frontrunning but it's guaranteed that's what they were doing. These guys aren't dumb.

By "arbitrating broken market rules" I meant that these HFT firms are exploiting our dysfunctional market system at no risk to themselves (like Virtu's single-day loss in a 6 year period). They engage in things like quote stuffing which incidentally increases volatility, decreases liquidity and leads to higher trading costs.

For quote stuffing in particular the SEC investigated and decided to do nothing. The SEC is fully incompetent as the ITG and Citadel slap-on-the-wrist fines for outright illegal activity further demonstrate.

My point about HFT firms being frontrunning scams is basically true.
I agree on the general point that go is simple and familiar, but it's absolutely not memory safe ( and as you said, channel is really not working as well as expected in practice, unless you start using them as actor mailboxes, which i don't think was the original point).
