Who do you think provides them with the drugs?
It won't become A Thing since Trump's administration is an objectively abrupt departure from the mean. It's irrational to argue that democratically elected government (in the general sense, not the US instance in particular) is fundamentally less reliable than the private sector where accountability and influence are more narrowly distributed.
If you use a graph database, something like the GraphQL compiler project might be useful: https://github.com/kensho-technologies/graphql-compiler

Primer on how to use it: https://blog.kensho.com/compiled-graphql-as-a-database-query...

I work at Kensho and we use it with queries that are 10+ levels of nesting with no problems.
Relay is what is supposed to be doing this for React. I highly recommend Relay if you have a graphql api to talk to. I had to fight it initially (the docs are not good enough, although better than before, and I need to contribute what I learned) but once I got going it's made what took an incredible amount of time in Mobx, Redux, or Flummox much easier.
I agree with the author that one of the most annoying parts of the process is that Symantec doesn't tell the legitimate owner any details to actually help them.

If I got that type of error/reissue email, I would assume it was something fairly normal going on, when in reality I really, really need to know that the private key had been leaked.
Right. And we can't just say "we need bitfields", we need 100% C-compatible bitfields, for FFI.
I would really like to agree with this description because it does capture part of the human element of hearing someones dream, but it misses one key element of scenario. You're chatting with them as a friend, whereas it is part of a VC's professional responsibility to take a clear position with founders. Each pitch I hear is an investment of time – mine and the founder's. Neither one of us have much incentive to drag it out if it is really not going to happen.

One thing to note that may be non-obvious… Typically when I provide a detailed reason for the pass – regardless of if it's team, market, strategy, etc. – I don't exactly expect to receive the response "that's a great point we haven't considered, maybe it won't work out for us." Instead, I expect that the response will be a challenge to the point's I have made. Sometimes valid, but most often it comes down to a matter of perspective, but it is unproductive to engage in email debate with every founder where we don't pursue an investment in their company. It comes comes down to the tradeoff between professional responsibility and limitations of my time.
That would be a sort-of holy grail of cancer therapy. The problem is that the best equipment to develop a high-affinity antibody, or find the correct T cell receptor to the mutation is the patient's immune system - and they've already done it.

Predicting what sort of antibody or T cell receptor will bind a specific mutation (more technically a piece of protein with the mutation in it - about 10 amino acids long) is hugely difficult - it requires a very good understanding of how all the amino acids fold and interact in a 3D spatial model, and we simply aren't there yet.

Your last question really depends on the mutations. Further mutations would stimulate more of an immune response, but a mutation could, for example, increase the ways a tumour cell hides from the immune system. On the other hand, it would be hard for the tumour cells to de-mutate itself to avoid TILs already specific for that mutation.
I don't think they're wrong; so many listings ask for SPA frameworks (specific ones at that) even if the business being supported has no need for it.
"Verbal approval" aka "in principle support".

Exactly, in web design almost no one actually thinks about the user, it's all about impressing each other with shiny things, rather than well thought out user experience.

Depending on what you call a "Lisp-like macro", Forth may have them, with its immediate words that allow one to extend its syntax.

If you disagree because Forth is too minimalistic, look at Factor (http://www.factorcode.org).

If with "Lisp-like macro", you mean "hygienic macros" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygienic_macro), look at Dylan (https://opendylan.org/books/drm/Macros) (which originally had a Lisp-like syntax), Julia, Perl6, or Rust.

"H: Yes, we called them “AlphaBay refugees.” It wasn’t the technical challenge that caused problems. Because this was a police operation, we wanted to keep up with the orders to see if there were any large amounts [of drugs] being ordered to one place, [so that] we could share information with our law enforcement partners internationally."

Again I understand perfectly well what you don't seem to understand is that you are taking an anomaly trying to make it a rule.

Many people were predicting they would be rich were wrong. Again survivor bias.

And no he wouldn't have beat it in any market which is also why he didn't really invest in other markets and mostly advice people to do it.

But it doesn't really matter because Buffet is not useful for anything in this discussion which was about whether luck and timing played a crucial and defining role in companies success. Pointing to Buffet or Gates makes absolutely no sense what so ever anyone who invested in the US market the last 50 years would have gotten out on the good side. Just because they didn't made as much as Buffet doesn't change that fact.

You are missing the point entirely because you think that I am saying that luck and timing are the ONLY things that matter.

What I actually said was that out of the talented people there are, luck and timing become the defining factor not superhuman abilities to predict the market. The same reason the VC community in general is doing really bad and even companies like YC are mostly wrong.

There are no secrets to success. They are mostly unique stories not formulas which means they are mostly about luck and timing NOT about talent as there are plenty of talent out there.

Mass is proportional to radius cubed. Cubing a normal distribution makes it not normal.
This is one of the most stupid comments I've ever seen on HN.
Not sure, it's an iPhone 6s. Sure a lot of the places were a little bit out there (Eastern Washington, Badlands, Southern Utah, Yellowstone) but my friend was nearly at full service the entire time (aside from mountains). We ended up just installing Spotify on her iPad and logging in with my account :)
The pop culture cuts both ways it seems.
That's solved in HTTP2 and other connection multiplexing protocols.
Sounds like just bad physical-layer connectivity, nothing to do with TCP.

Most of my experience with wifi mesh is from years ago, with pure 2.4ghz stuff, back when it basically didn't work at all. How close are the nodes? Are there any long multi-hop chains? (Repeater talking to repeater talking to root. The more hops, the worse it works)
I'd rather use Redux without React than React without Redux. Sure there's some boilerplate but we use typescript so the redux boilerplate seems trivial in comparison.

Redux keeps your app _simple_. That's not the same as easy. It means that you can reason about your app as it grows and new features are added. When you run into problems like: this page is taking too long to load because we do calculations x, y and z on the server to push the data to the app. But z takes forever to compute and makes the initial page load painful. With Redux, you can move z to an async endpoint and just load x and y on page load (put the component that needs z in a loading state). Then, fire an ajax request when the component mounts to get z. When that call returns, it updates your store and the component that needs z transitions from loading to loaded.

I took me a couple of hours to do the above in a Redux app and decrease the page load from 2 seconds to 300ms. And it didn't add complexity to the app that would make it difficult to maintain. I don't even want to think how long that refactor would take if the state had been managed with React.

And ... don't even get me started on how easy -- and fast -- it is to test a Redux app. Zero side-effects means zero setup and teardown between specs.

You can heat by moving energy around, too (heat pumps). Indoor/outdoor temperature differentials are admittedly greater in cold-climate winter than hot-climate summer, but on the other hand natural solar heating (greenhouse effect due to windows) is working for you in the winter but against you in the summer.
Yeah, I never have been big on podcasts but ever since they added it to Spotify I've actually discovered a bunch of great stuff. Makes those long drives when you can't agree on music easier.
You mention that this is anecdotal, anyway, but stress to yourself that it is anecdotal.

You sound depressed and you mention that social interaction might be the cause, but is it not possible that you are finding your work unfulfilling, that's causing depression and the rest follows?

I only say this because I've worked long stretches more or less alone with limited social interaction (didn't have a wife around) and didn't suffer any of those symptoms, but that's an anecdote for you. I did suffer those symptoms when depressed, though, and that didn't take solitude.

Some people are very happy with solitude and there's no hard rule that it affects everyone the same.
> this is faster than server side model since you are only loading what is changed and not the entire page again

Not true. If you do proper caching and configure your nginx properly back-end rendering can be just as fast.
> People who are not security-focused will switch to Chrome, which is what's already happened

No, it hasn't. And I think explaining to people exactly why a web page expecting Date.now() to work is somehow demanding something and invading their privacy is a pretty tough job. Like "requires reading academic papers to understand why it could be a problem" tough.

So what you're basically suggesting is that Firefox resign itself to being an extremely niche browser. I don't think that really aligns with Mozilla's goals, for what it's worth.

I've read about high LDL levels, inflammation, etc. I've experienced the latter, not the former. You can go look it up if that interests you. The original 0 carb statement continues to remain unsubstantiated because no such data exists.
"Lunch break" sounds like it's paid or semi-paid; it seems a bit deceptive here. It sounds from the article like the Spanish are putting in 8-hour days, but interrupting them in the afternoon, so that instead of working 9 to 6 they work 9 to 8 or 9 to 9. Thus the streets busy until midnight, for example; this is a case of different scheduling, not lazy southerners.

It is quite a claim - I wonder if it doesn't rely on one, a comparison of the footprint of the structure vs. the same area of farm field (which obviously favors the vertical farm), and two the difference between growing things in a protected, controlled indoor environment vs. a field with weather, insects, etc.

Ask HN: Would you be interested in a readthedocs for not only Python/Markdown?
Last year I've built something like readthedocs, but it works for any documentation generator: javadoc, godoc... and it only requires some small config files to be added (on the backend, no config is needed in the repos). The backend is working (but could use some perfection) and the frontend was pretty ugly. Last year I started designing a new frontend and also an early access signup page which is actually completely done. I'm thinking of picking the project up again, but am wondering whether people would be interested in this product. My idea is to open source this as well and have a business model like Sentry. Should I put up the signup page already? I've still got the domain name for it as well, just need to get a VPS.
You should always have a plan if your key is compromised. It's recommended to announce two keys via HPKP: primary and backup key. If your primary key failed, you can always issue another certificate with backup key and change HPKP.

I think that it's even possible to issue another certificate with different CA using old private key. I'm not sure if all CA communicate with each other about revoked keys.
Well it took about 4 years for NoSQL fad to die out so I keep my fingers crossed.

> Why we switched from Mongo to Postgres

Wow, no shit. A database that was made 21 years ago and is still maintained is actually better - who would've guessed?
But there is another option: a configuration struct, potentially combined with an implementation of Default. Indeed, part of the reason this conversation has gone on so long is that there's one camp who just wants to emulate keyword arguments via additional sugar for structs and Default.

(There's also another another option, which is to have a different function for each combination of parameters. This obviously doesn't scale in the large, but it's perfectly acceptable for functions that take only a single optional parameter, which IME is a plurality of APIs that want optional parameters).
mass = 4/3 pi radius cubed

The cube of a normal distribution is indeterminate.

Had the relationship between the mass and the radius been linear (M = a * R + b) then yes the mass would have followed a normal distribution as well (with different parameters of course).
AnkiTab.. excellent Idea!
Who ends up owning the content when a writer writes on your website?
We had that happen at a company I worked for. Someone blindly opened an "invoice". We were back to work within a day. For each computer, a full malware scan and then back online. Dumped the one hard drive which was infected.

The NAS (which used to be writable to the victim) took a few days to restore from Amazon Glacier. To me this is key: always have an offsite backup which can't be erased by a non-admin. Use BackBlaze, CrashPlan, S3, Glacier, B2, Arq or whatever. Backups forgive a lot of stupid user sins.
USA: Hillary Clinton Finally Reveals Real Reasons for War in Libya
Yeah, I was kind of shocked at the level of entitlement displayed here. Pitching VC's is just like any other sales process, and its not uncommon to have a low hit rate, even if you have a good idea.

Shocker: most VC's will have a very different conversation with you if you've put a little time into building the relationship before you ask them for money!

Most VC's success stories go something like "oh yeah, I met this crazy person, and they just kept at it, and at some point I was convinced and put money in! Now its AirBnB!"

As you say, there are many reasons why cancer isn't self - neo-antigens are just a facet of that. Are cancer associated antigens the same thing as cancer-testis antigens? To be honest, I've never really groked CTAGs - they don't make sense to me. Why does the thymus not expose T cells to them? Why does cancer produce them? To many questions..!
I implicitly trust most of what I hear from a doctor, even when it defies intuition. But I have much less trust for what I hear secondhand, i.e. when someone says "my doctor said". There's simply too great a likelihood for signal corruption along the way. Patients can fail to communicate context to their doctors, miss subtleties in the communication back, and fail to relay context once again when they relate their stories to other lay folk. And no, I am not a doctor :)
Is there any possibility of this man Safarik being punished? Can Safarik be sued and held accountable for destroying eleven years of an innocent man's life?

Ah so you don't buy H&M? They happen to promote a market in Bangladesh where people tend to literally die in a fire (go google it.)

So, what's left of that syllogism of yours?
Suppose the radius is normally distributed, and is a random varable X. The mass will be proportional to the volume, which increases with the cube of the radius, so the mass will be a random variable kX^3 (k = 4/3 x pi x density here). X and kX^3 won't have the same distribution.

I really hope that the ShareLaTeX UX will survive. If I had to use Overleaf's UI, I might seriously consider canceling the subscription. The dark theme is nothing you want to use on a daily basis. Otherwise, ShareLaTeX also worked much faster and had way better example snippets, I think?

OK, maybe I don't quite literally mean side effect-free. In that case I probably wouldn't think it's bad. What I would not expect in a ternary statement is code that, say, makes a network request, or writes to disk, or changes several different properties on the current object.
The issue comes when you try to measure inclusiveness.

"We are indifferent to gender during our recruitment process."

"Okay, sure. How do you know?"

... at which point you need to know (amongst many other things) the genders of those applying, and those succeeding.

To be clear: I'm morally opposed to any sort of irrational discrimination in hiring. I define that as discrimination on any attributes irrelevant to the job, whether it's in favour of historically disadvantaged groups or not.

But if you want to be inclusive, you need to know whether you're actually being inclusive, and that requires metrics.
Musk getting verbal approval from someone in the White House for such a project, is like me getting verbal approval from a janitor at the IRS that I no longer need to pay taxes.
Huh, maybe that was the original inspiration for the equivalent behavior in rsync.

> A trailing slash on the source changes this behavior to avoid creating an additional directory level at the destination. You can think of a trailing / on a source as meaning "copy the contents of this directory" as opposed to "copy the directory by name", but in both cases the attributes of the containing directory are transferred to the containing directory on the destination.

The phrase carb deficiency is vague. I took it as 0 carb since that was the context of the original comment. But if you take it to mean anything value you want, then that is shifting of the goalposts from 'you can remain healthy with a 0 carb diet' - a claim that has not yet met its burden of proof.

I find it obnoxious when a commenter whines about a single word in the first line of a long article. It's hard to imagine any reason for that beyond "look at how good of a complainer I am".
Nicotine and caffeine are drugs but when did you last hear of people crashing cars or killing other people because they were high on nicotine or caffeine. I'm sure it's an ancillary factor and if you could investigate with strict accuracy you'd find they had a non-zero influence. But putting them on the same semantic plane as you are doing implies that people in the grip of a nicotine or caffeine buzz are little different from people who are drunk, and anyone with real-world experience knows that's nonsense. You're not helping your point by reflexively making nitpicking arguments.

I'm pro legalization for all drugs, but but I'm not going to dispute the fact that booze, cocaine, and heroin are just like cannabis, caffeine and nicotine because it just isn't true. If you don't acknowledge the reality of people's experience when making your semantic arguments then people are going to ignore you.
