The problem is that it's a bad comparison to compare people that eat red meat with people that don't. Lots of people that eat red meat eat it in the form of highly processed low quality meat that's cooked in too much fat and oil, for a start. Lots of them eat far too much of it as well.

Nobody is saying 'a steak a day keeps the doctor away'. But red meat is good for you: it's full of all sorts of essential nutrients that you need. It's tasty, and if it were in any serious way harmful then we wouldn't be eating it.

>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

You're going to have to argue with the multitude of people who have had success beyond "losing weight" on low carb diets.

The days of calling low carb a "fad" are waning.

Very well put. Tools like this, by lowering the barrier to entry of making software (I'm assuming the best case scenario - that App Maker is a quality product), tools like this expand the pie and make the software development industry larger. Wordpress is the perfect analogy here.

And a lot of my best freelance jobs recently have been for companies not traditionally in the tech industry who had a new idea they wanted to pursue, proofed the concept with a Wordpress site, and then once they had some degree of market validation, needed a developer to build it into something more robust and customizable.

> but plastics aren’t exactly made to be safe to ingest

Plastics are usually simple polymers, long chain of hydrocarbons. Not saying it's safe to ingest, but comparatively with many other substances found in the environment, there is less likely to be any interaction with your organism. The contamination of drinking water with lots of drugs in traces is, I think, far more dangerous.

I am not sure what's left of the original microkernel design in the NT kernel. You could say Linux is hybrid too because of FUSE and VFIO.

But yes, I was thinking exactly of that paper when I mentioned hypervisors. It only applies to type 1 hypervisors though: not KVM, Beehyve, or OpenBSD vmm. Even VMware ESX is more of a hybrid kernel.
it is very expensive & time consuming to create a vast amount of properly labeled image cell dataset. In general you need >2 pathologists to confirm the cell types (they disagree sometimes and you usually take the majority vote); this almost never happens with cat images;) Also there exist a multitude of device acquisition modalities for image capturing in microscopy, different stains for the same types of cell, etc. & actually simple RGB cameras are considered fairly low tech for these kind of operations.
ps. I am no deep l expert (i use more 'traditional' ml) but as you pointed out ~400 images for these techniques can be an 'overfitting' recipe of disaster..

The linked story and yours are both harrowing. But it has spurred me to action. Many years ago, my younger sister, a police officer, was off duty and just driving her car into town when she saw a car plough into another in front of her. She jumped out of her car and raced over to the drivers door, where she saw that the driver had a gaping wound in his neck and was bleeding out.

My sister hates the sight of blood, and faints when getting a needle, but to this day I don't know how she did what she did, which was to reach in and clamp her hand around his neck to try and stem the bleeding, while trying to talk to him. His wife was in the passenger seat, relatively uninjured but screaming hysterically at her husband's condition. My sister said that she looked into the guys eyes while she tried to talk to him and reassure him - she said the look he gave her was one of 'pleading sadness', and she watched while in less than a minute the life went out of him right there and then.

She only ever told me the story once, and our family has one of those stupid 'don't talk about it' rules, which after reading this, I intend to break. She seems fine to this day and doesn't show any outward signs of it affecting her, but next time I get the chance, I will see if she wants to talk more about it.
From my understanding, economist is owned by their employees, and a holding company[0]. The holding company has no voting shares and the employees have total editorial freedom.

So it's voice is actually of the writers first and foremost. It's really kinda cool considering that they're one of the most successful print meadow companies in an age when most are struggling.[1]

The Weirdness of CRISPR
Incidentally this article made me think about people who save other's life, sometimes at personal risk. I am not thinking about big hero - like actions (which are of course fantastic) but rather Joe passing by and somehow saving Bob's life.

I had two cases like this in my life. In one of them I saw a car rolling over on a highway and stopped to see if the driver was fine (alive, actually). He was there, breathing, and there was petrol all over the place. I got him out before the car shared to burn (quite slowly, nothing like in movies).
I did not even think once about my safety, I did not think about anything, actually. There was strictly nothing heroic in what I did because brain was not involved at all.

I wonder if others have this as well - for me a hero is someone who realizes what he or she can loose and despite this take the risk to help someone. This was not my case at all and would not be either if my children were at stake, for instance.
Yes. That's true
Is he really the same Cliff Stoll who wrote The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking A Spy Through The Maze Of Computer Espionage? It is one of my all time favorite books.

Actually, there are loops: jumps are performed modulo 2^16, so jumping past the end of the program actually wraps back to the beginning. By dividing the program into blocks, and jump as many times as required, you can perform loops. Just one problem: it takes a looong time.
Nice presentation. I have used Rx in some previous projects, however for new things I now also prefer pull-style APIs with possible async/await like you have shown. From my point of view they are easier to comprehend (more normal syntax instead of magic operators), easier testable (less callbacks in tests) and allow a better ingeration overall (e.g. you can move ownership of the object which is iterated upon between components without doing things like complete/unsubscribe and caring about whether it's a hot observable and unsubscription might loose events).

One remark about your slides: Your implementation of "throttle" might not be what one would expect from a debounce/throttle function, as it will never emit the last value if this is filtered (shortly occurs after a previous one). In most applications the last value of an eventstream is important, as it represents the most recent / final state. E.g. for the example which makes HTTP queries out of form data you would never make a query for the final text content if the last keystroke happenend in the debounce period for the previous one.

The Economist is not doing mathematics or controlled, replicated experiments. Any given reader can't meaningfully check the work of a news organization for its relationship to the truth, except to see whether it aligns with what you already think. If you are not an expert in economics or international relations, who's to say that what you already think is more accurate than what you read in the Economist? Maybe you can check the particular arguments given for minor points, but not for "does this accurately portray the facts on the ground?" or "would a subject matter expert find this claim reasonable?" The latter can be false, for example, when something is plausibly argued and technically correct but missing the point.

Reputation and credentials are important because reading something like this is an act of trust. It matters whether the source is competent and trustworthy. However, I don't think it's a problem for the trust to apply at a publication level rather than an individual author level. Editors are a thing.

If you already know whether or not the Economist is correct about something, what value are you getting from reading it?
It definitely has a very strong "Project Jabberwocky" vibe.
I had a similar experience, and I'm a bit slow to process extreme emotions so in crisis I'm very calm. A few days later though, it hit me while I was in the shower and my guard was down; I started shaking and I didn't know why. I literally dropped the washcloth and realized that I was crying, then I realized why, and it all hit me. As you say, it's one of those things that never quite heals, it just... skins over a little. Sharing does seem to help.
I came to work early once and forgot my keys. I decided to just sit on the ground and go through commits [pathetic]. A newer dev, recently hired came by next. I explained the situation. He then grabbed a weird small set of tools out of his bag. After about 3 minutes he opened the door. I was totally horrified. I am not sure if i was more upset he had the tools on him, the tools WERE LEGAL, or how easy it was to steal all our cool hipster monitors. He went on to explain how he couldn't get into various types of locks and which locks he was training on -- like some type of club or sport.

I guess this is as good a thread as any - does anyone know where the TR-909 cymbals came from?

The kicks are obviously synthesized, but the open and closed hihats sound suspiciously much like audio waves that are simply played at a higher and lower frequency as you twist the "decay" knob.

If they're samples, where do they come from? They're totally unlike any other hihat I've heard, definitely totally different from an actual hihat on a physical drum kit. I guess 90% of dance/techno music in the last 3 decades uses the TR-909 open hihat or a mildly tweaked version of it. Yet it must've been a rather strange, unnatural sound when the 909 was released. What were the motivations of the people who designed or recorded this sound? How was it made? Was it sampled or synthesized and then recorded?

Was Kakehashi involved?

A bit of historical study should teach you that only happens in extreme cases, and even then it takes a long damned time. See: Arsenic and mercury as coloring agents.

The problem is that if the background noise is loud enough, you can't identify causes. Do you get cancers because of one of the things you're exposed to? A combination? All of them? Is one the real culprit while the others are not? We live in a soup of thousands of poorly studied compounds, and as a result it's very hard or impossible to even study the problem in a human population.

So, maybe it is shaving years off our lives, or causing something we are aware of, but we're not aware of a causal link.
I was pretty much sold just on the notion of giving this as a gift, but now I'm truly, deeply sold. That sounds like a business I'd go out of my way to support.
I don't think that's true; social anarchists generally regard hierarchy and unjust authority as inherently something to oppose. It is the abolishment of law and legal responsibilities, not just opting out. It's rejecting the entire concept of them.

A site like this does not get off the ground in the U.K. without the cooperation of the letting agencies. The primary web-site for finding rentals in London is rightmove.co.uk and zoopla which are both owned by the letting agencies.

Of course they want tenants to bid against each other to try to extract the maximum price for properties.
Compare that to most of the Ivy League: " In 2009, Princeton admitted 41.7% of legacy applicants—more than 4.5 times the 9.2% rate of non-legacies. Similarly, in 2006, Brown University admitted 33.5% of alumni children, significantly higher than the 13.8% overall admissions rate. In 2003, Harvard admitted 40% of legacy applicants, compared to the overall 11% acceptance rate. In short, Ivy League and other top schools typically admit legacies at two to five times their overall admission rates." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_preferences

Mongo DB got a lot of traction very early on, despite some less than optimal defaults. As time went on, adoption grew, their marketing teams and support contracts also took them to the next level. I liked them early on, because it was such a natural pairing with Node on the server. The disconnect that you get from ORMs was gone in my mind, and despite the likes of Mongoose, I often don't see the point of the mappers, beyond basic data validation.

Cassandra is at the tops because it was a very early BigTable-like solution that came out of Facebook. It has many options to tweak, and scales near linearly. But at the cost of having to do for yourself what you might take for granted in other databases.

Couchbase is interesting, I also think that Redis has become interesting as well, but would suggest separate instances depending on the use case.

The one that I think doesn't get enough consideration is probably RethinkDB... from a dev-ops perspective it's hands down one of the better NoSQL databases to work against. From a dev perspective, the fluent API is sometimes better, other times harder than say MongoDB's, but it works. It's about as close as it gets to easy to deploy-scale in my mind, and would love to be able to use it more.

From my own experience, most of my data fits well in either traditional SQL, a bigtable-like solution where most queries are single-key (Cassandra) or an in-memory kv store such as with Redis. Mongo has traction, and RethinkDB is my preferred choice where I want tiered data in a single record (document store), which serves several other areas in between traditional SQL and the likes of Cassandra.

Another interesting one not covered is etcd...
What you describe (the shutdown technique) is exactly what my linked blogpost describes, by the way. If this is the fault of BSD, or the sockets API definition is indeed an interesting question.

This is clearly the way that things are going. Within our lifetimes the Western way of making war will be a fleet of drones endlessly circling above "enemy" territory, firing a Hellfire missile at anyone a Facebook-trained face recognition algorithm deems to be a threat.

By "enemy" I mean "the entire rest of the world" of course.

Sorry, that should have been "neoliberalism", but it is true that the economist is also libertarian to a great extent.

Would something like images of rat cells to train to than transfer learn on humans be worth while? The author of the article tried it with ImageNet and it didn't work out. But I wonder about the viability of that techniques with non human cells.
The problem with those kind of scenario's is that they depend on the enemy being utterly stupid and giving you your dream scenario and then just surrendering in defeat something that history shows don't actually happens in the real world.

What would actually happen if you sent a US battleship against a age of sail fleet commanded by competent people would be that the battleship would spend all of it's fuel trying to find something to shoot at while civilian shipping kept getting sunk, and then end up destroyed by saboteurs when returning to port for refueling. And that's the dream scenario in the real world you never see that kind of a technology gap persist for long.
