Use a VPN client on your router, it'll protect you against WebRTC leaks and it'll automatically work for your phone and other devices. Asus routers have VPN support out of the box, for other routers you can use OpenWrt/DD-WRT etc.

This article made it very clear that it was just what she does based on what she has encountered, not health advice. Also, a large part of her concern had nothing to do with pollution. It was that different types of seafood require different cooking methods to be healthy to eat. This is well known, and with so much seafood being mislabeled isn't a vague issue.

The unwritten rule of the painfully obvious corporate April Fool trick is that you try and trick your customers into believing you're about to do something really silly or strange. It's probably not such a good idea to promise things that your organisation would like to be able to do, but can't actually deliver. That only disappoints anyone naïve enough to fall for it and emphasises how far short of these aims lies your reality.

(Hence the general lack of "Cure found for Cancer" headlines amongst the April Fool press releases)

From an economic viewpoint, this also means that the brand value of the articles remains with the masthead rather than the individual authors. This commodifies the authors and makes then more fungible.

> A lot of restaurants also sell ox or bison instead of beef.

That's not really related to the article I guess, but I'm curious:

What's the difference between "ox" and "beef"?

I'm intrigued because in French, ox and beef are supposed to be the same thing (both bœuf), and I would probably have written "A lot of restaurants also sell cow or bison instead of beef" since bœuf is supposed to be castrated bull, while most often people actually get sold cow meat.
Well, from your table S5 and table S12, as is usual we see that about 0.1 - 1% of the cells were mutants in the control group (ie they came pre-"modified").

Interestingly, from table S12 and my (selection for pre-existing mutants) model we can also explain a mysterious result they observed:

"Silent co-mutations in the repair oligonucleotides were introduced into >99% of D54H mutant alleles and ~3% of the F482S allele (Fig. 2c). Carryover of these silent SNPs indicates that the alleles are the product of HR and not de novo mutagenesis. The lower rate of coappearance of silent SNPs in F482S is presumably due to the larger distance between the two SNPs in the oligonucleotide and is rather common to see with single-stranded oligonucleotide donors19."

Rather than that ad hoc explanation, it is simply that the D54H cells had more silent only mutations to begin with (0.1% vs 0.0%). Regarding that 0.0%, an annoying thing is that they only report these percentages to one decimal place.

I'm not exactly clear on the number of cells present before the CRISPR-Cas9 treatment, but it sounds like 10^8, and then they let them grow for 72 hr + 7-12 days (total of 10-15 days) after the treatment. They also don't tell us how many cells were left at the end... but anyway if we assume these cells divide once a day, and 0.1% are preexisting mutants we could calculate the possible number of mutants thus:

Nt = 10^8
p = 0.001
d = 0:15

Nt*p*2^d

After 12 days we can get ~400 million cells from those initial pre-existing mutants, and after 15 days over as 3 billion. Of course other factors would probably come into play that limit this growth, I'm just saying it would be no problem for that small subset of the population to become dominant during the experiment. That is even if the 99,900,000 "WT" cells were just growth arrested rather than died.

So I find those results to favor the "selection for pre-existing mutants" explanation over the "gene modification" one.
Interesting. Reminds me of rest shell from a few years back. https://github.com/spring-projects/rest-shell
I quite agree with you. We should generally spend more time working without seeming to work, which is part of the problem. I get a lot of work done staring out the window, taking showers, etc. I don't recall any particularly great ideas while on the can...

I think the appearance of doing work is now very important. So sitting and thinking has the problem that you might be thinking about the problem or who knows what? Possibly there's a causation problem here - if you are already a famous scientist, you can probably be trusted to "sit and think".
Back when I was developing Android apps I grew to dislike Samsung for these very reasons.

You don't need to setup VPN in the router. Decent providers have Windows and OSX apps that just work. Getting leak-free VPN connections in smartphones is harder, however.
The Bismarck was sunk moving to its theater of operations. The Germans were very much planning to use it as a commerce raider, and it would have been a big problem for the allies in that role.

The Japanese government was afraid to send the Yamato into battle, but that had nothing to do with money (after all, its sister ship was deployed at the 2nd battle of Leyte Gulf). The problem was they'd used it as a centerpiece in their war propaganda, and they thought losing it would be a PR disaster that outweighed any possible utility in battle.
Also, I would add as a personal opinion. These type of "cult" submissions that get re-posted at regular intervals add a lot of character to HN.

> i cannot agree with building code specifically so that it is readily disposable

This is the crux of our differing point of view. Mine is: all code is trash, and business requirements change.

I don't advocate for disposable code, but to at least spend a second thinking that it will eventually no longer provide a business value in line with its support burden, and to recognize that it may have some day reach the end of its lifetime of effectiveness. The code that strongly resists scaling is always the ones who baked in assumptions about the current situation (technical environment & business needs) that are extremely hard to unwind.
Okay... and the point? My argument was regarding platform lockin. As to cross-platform support, what platforms is Mercurial well supported on that git isn't? The big three (Windows, Linux, macOS) are well supported.

That may be. My explanation also requires relatively precise co-localization. Assuming the toxicity is only due to the endonuclease activity, those plans shouldn't be affected either way.
What happens when the business outgrows what AppBuilder can do?

They use AppBuilder 2.

The flaw in your argument is that you're assuming the business grows while AppBuilder remains the same, or even just grows less quickly. There's no reason to think that would be the case. Scaling is a problem that Google and Amazon have really worked hard at solving. Plus for every business that outgrows AppBuilder there'll be 100 that don't, which still represents a huge contraction in the need for developers.

Automated code generators are coming, and they're going to be really good at writing code. If your job is writing code, learn to do other things as well.
I think CASE 3 is going to be much faster due to the high performance AXI ports that Zynq's have.
I've never understood how that could be possible. What makes COBOL programming so different from work in any other language as to make it impossible to pick up, say, C? I've heard numerous similar anecdotes, but never from programmers who struggled to transition from any language but COBOL. I'm sympathetic, but never having worked in COBOL myself, I can't help but be curious what makes it so distinct.
Wouldn't the function sort of "eat itself" if it grew too fast? I can't make this precise, but if it grew fast enough, then most numbers would have many factors accounted for among the smaller numbers already (in a sort of "greedy" manner).

Yeah, they really did put a lot of effort in supporting a variety of scattered audio and video options back in those days.

Kings quest IV, as well as Hero's Quest I, both specifically supported my Casio keyboard. Multi-channel MIDI output using different instruments which they mapped correctly, and even some of the built-in sound effect channels for effects like flowing water or bird chirps.

Same with video, I had a Tandy which had its own proprietary video mode of 320x200 resolution in 16 colours, which was specifically supported you most Sierra games, along with the generic CGA and EGA modes. Tandy also had a proprietary 3-channel sound mode which was supported, though the MIDI via my external keyboard sounded way better.

> Most companies will never have a million+ users. But what happens when yours does?

What a time wasting question! It's exactly the sort of premature overdesigning that you advocate against. The question is good for interviews to check for the scaling mindset but terrible in planning and design. The answer is: you use the same scaling techniques as published in numerous case studies/etc. and hire experienced engineers who've successfully scaled products before.

The real answer is: you re-evaluate your systems to see how they should change to adjust to the need to scale; and you design systems that avoid assumptions that stop them from scaling.

They are literally bad. Low carb diets is a fad that makes it easy for people to lose weight, but carbs are important, it's literally our bodies favourite type of nutrient, and all populations through history that has done well for themself has been high carb, and people wouldn't have to cut out carbs if they cut out all the actually unhealthy stuff they choose to eat instead. Fats are important, carbs are important and so on. Saturated fat, cholesterol, hormones, refined oil, refined sugar and so on are never healthy to consume.

You shouldn't ignore the fact that the number one cause of humans deaths (cardiovascular disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer) is directly tied to eating meat, fish, eggs, dairy and oil. Especially dairy. Dairy is arguably the worst of the culprits, but the others are not healthy either, not by any measure. Less bad does not make good. Not in any big or small amount. And yes, you might not get sick from eating them if you eat less of them, but that doesn't make them healthy, and since they also are the single biggest cause of climate change (because of the way they are produced), and that consuming those things when we don't need to at all is ethically corrupt, there is really no good reason to do so.
There's a saying that loanwords only change in two ways--meaning and pronunciation. In English, "beef" is meat from cattle.
Ask HN: What are the big (or buzzworthy) softwares in Microsoft and .NET?
A couple of weeks ago I met with a potential client at work. We deal mostly with custom electronics, microcontrollers, embedded Linux, that soft of thing. I'm hired to do the embedded Linux thing, along with some higher level stuff, like setting up servers and all that.

During this meeting, the client wanted to aggregate information from lots of devices into one place. He mentioned some piece of software (I don't remember he name now), and I said I had never heard of it. The response I got was rather snazzy, he said something along the lines of "oh, it's only one of the biggest CMS systems in the world, nothing you should know about". Turns out, it's some .NET software, so it was not under my radar.

I'd rather prevent this from happening again, so I'm reaching out to you guys.

What are the major softwares from the Microsoft world I should at least know by name, so that I can sound smart when the next potential client comes around?
Whether anything changed substantially is arguable.

But there's no doubt that ISP customers are sitting ducks. VPNs took off after Snowden leaked. And they're taking off again now. So sure, maybe nothing changed. But as you say, it's a wakeup call.
Why only smart phones?

Yeah I guess I was thinking when I considered having to make it work for both of us. Although... I don't know pretty tired right now can't quite think.

I didn't mean to imply "in the router" I meant route traffic to VPN, I mean I guess I wouldn't have to tell the other person that we're now using a VPN assuming the internet speed isn't affected, we're using the 1000Mbps Google Fiber (haha ridiculous I know)

edit: throttle = better? Can't seem to reply to your post. Oh well, I don't want to replace Reddit with Hacker News haha, I used to be on Reddit but banned myself. I talk too much, especially more important to my clients when I go through what I'm thinking/doing word for word on Slack for example Jesus... self control is my problem, case in point.
I think that this problem probably isn't just restricted to fish. I think if you dug deep into any kind of food, you would find similar issues.
Social stratification through income inequality leads to problematic first order effects...
- skewed political bargaining power
- skewed economic bargaining power

Not to mention second order effects:
- regulatory capture
- debt inflation
- reduced aggregate demand
- privatization and bureacratization
- increased propaganda
- "commodification" of spheres poorly handled by markets
- lower levels of entrepreneurial activity
- less fundamental research from public funding
- long waiting times for public services
- increased costs and inflation from privatized energy production
- less traffic mobility for low incomes from privatised public transit
- housing market bubbles
- less independent press from reductions in public funding

Or third order effects...
- social unrest
- lower reproduction rates
- higher levels of job competition
- recessions
- populism and extremism
- geopolitical unrest
- less political participation

Also, nation states are not income constrained, so stating taxes are used for state income is factually incorrect.

"I was the first to get to him trying to assess his condition and help. Those were his last moments. There was a lot of blood and I was helpless."

Those first ten seconds are shocking. For me it was understanding ^control^, the lack of control and the fight to get it back. The situation you were presented @bitcharmer is binary and anything other than a win can be seen as failure.

For me it took a long time to understand that whatever I did, I had no real ^control^. Understanding control, the complete lack of it, in extreme situations like the one you describe lets you move one step closer to understanding death. To understand what it is like in @bitcharmer shoes, read happened in a similar situation back in 2012 (non fatal) https://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/7949327460

Or just use built in memory. If something is worth remembering then remember it, simple. I do not consider diaries that vital or to-do lists as being anything more than long term storage. It is not the same as knowing what you should be doing that day. For that built in memory does nicely as does having details at hand on a phone.

Regarding the umbrella, if I forgot it then I would be pleased with my brain for filtering that useless requirement out.
This was actually the second fix I had in mind, after the author mentioned that they would like mathjs to have complete browser support (and therefore couldn't use the `vm` module from Node.js):

>If, anyway, you want to make math.eval resistant against arbitrary code execution, I think it would be best to have a whitelist of methods and constructs (i.e. you parse the code that is meant to be evaluated and ensure that every construct is allowed). I analyze JS malware in my free time (see [box-js](https://github.com/CapacitorSet/box-js)), and I found that it is virtually impossible to blacklist functions. For instance, if the parser forbids `[].map.constructor`, I could very well use `[].map["constructor"]`; and if you blacklist the word "constructor", I could use `[].map["rotcurtsnoc".split("").reverse().join("")]`, and so on, there's an infinity of methods one can come up with to avoid blacklists.

The examples didn't really work in math.js, but it turns out that there's still [quite a few ways to get around it](https://github.com/josdejong/mathjs/issues/821).

They tried that in the '90s. A few contractors got into a bind, threw up their hands, and went bankrupt. From a budgetary standpoint that's fine, but when you're limping along with a platform you wanted to retire a decade ago or more (the marines have been stripping museum pieces for parts to keep Harriers in the air), you can't afford another twenty year development cycle.

IMO the F-35 is fine from a capability standpoint. It's just far too expensive.

I don't know Android or iOS, so I'm just repeating what I've read. I vaguely understand that, because you lack administrative privileges, you can't readily control how particular apps access the Internet. Maybe someone could clarify for us?

If you just run VPN clients in your devices, there will be no effect on the other person's devices. If anything, using VPNs will throttle your connections, so they'll have better speed. That's especially likely with a gigabit uplink.
