"Close to Family" seems to be one of the biggest reasons people move. Also, this personal connection seems to play a big role for many people:

A musician friend from Denver moved there last year and I didn’t notice. But this summer, she posted something on Facebook along the lines of “I expected to tolerate it, but I actually love it.” My interest was piqued. And the more I looked into it, the better it sounded.
"Don't ask a barber whether you need a new haircut."
I wasn't aware, thanks for mentioning that. However, the videos I watch are on YouTube and news sites and such... not sketchy sites. And I never play MP4s on my phone directly (unless they're videos I've recorded). I'm not sure many others do either, frankly. So how much do I need to worry and how much of a justification is this to upgrade the phone every 1-2 years?

Depends on your kefir. Kefirs are unpredictable and they CAN go bad. Just be careful with that stuff, or even let a lab analyze yours if you can. Drinking up to 50 billion organisms (in one glass) every day has the potential to shift your microbiome for the better, or the worse.
The Reddit userbase would demand it, is my point.
From the article: "Ever since Touch ID came out with the iPhone 5S, there has been a tiny coprocessor embedded in the main S-series, and now A-series, processor chip."

Uh, the A-series is the "main" series of processors -- the ones in iPhones and iPads. The S-series is just in the Apple Watch.
They're (NR) welcome having Down syndrome children if the desire. Most people would rather not, I assume.

However I suspect even they don't want to do it oneself, rather view it as a kind of community work awarded by lottery. They would like "somebody out there" having Down syndrome child so they can feel good about themself as not-eugenics-supporters.
That doesn't mean they get much of it.
> "Such systematic efforts raise thorny questions for bioethicists. Some worry that pushes to eliminate disabilities devalue the lives of those who already have them. The cost and accessibility of the procedure raises concerns about genetic traits further widening the divide between rich and poor people. Then there are concerns about the push to select for non-disease-related traits, such as intelligence or athletic ability. The ever-present spectre of eugenics lurks in the shadows. But in China, although these concerns are considered, most thoughts are focused on the benefits of the procedures. “There are ethical problems, but if you bring an end to the disease, I think it’s good for society,” says Qiao."

It's interesting how there's such a wide culture gap between China and the west. We spend so much time worrying ourselves sick with every possible downside, debating in circles and not getting anywhere, while China is bravely pushing ahead with a bet that's 90% likely to pay off.

The arguments in the paragraph above are a perfect example. We should continue giving birth to babies with genetic diseases, because this will supposedly make the current patients feel better? We should continue subjecting our children to illnesses, because "eugenics"? How can people seriously believe in these things? Getting rid of disease is good. Polio eradication was a great step forward for humanity, and the sooner we can replicate this success with other diseases, the better.

There was only one good argument raised, which is ensuring egalitarian accessibility to such procedures. And I'm sure this is a solvable problem. If we can afford universal healthcare, we can afford universal genetic screening.

When I look at the can-do attitude in places like China, and the endless cynicism and paralysis-by-analysis in more developed countries, Jeff Bezos' quote comes to mind. It seems clear that we've become a Day-2 country, while China is still very much a Day-1 country.
Playing around on MyFonts:

- 5,000 desktop licenses (BBC has 20k+ employees) - $200k (one-time). Note that desktop licenses often have limitations on use in logos, e.g., so this might not cover BBC's usage.

- 1.5B pageviews for the webfont - $1.7M (monthly). BBC gets 1.5B pageviews per month.

- App (50k), ePub (1k), and Server (4) licensing - $200k.

So full retail, Gill Sans would cost BBC $20M+ per year. I guarantee BBC isn't paying full retail, but you can get a sense from the size and scale of the spend why this might be a cost-effective solution.
> Ask whether the blockchain is open and public, whether the code has been published, and whether there has been an independent cybersecurity audit.

That's an entirely prescient statement that suggests the SEC has done a serious bit of homework and has put careful thought into the subject.
Oh, I hadn't heard it was that old. Fascinating, so far I've always thought it was something that came directly out of Google itself.

It also allows them to sell your data for mining purposes. In the next year we are going to see many AI business buy access to many unique large datasets.
Here is the one:

I don't think the latter point is true. FP requires a lot of thinking up front, which is not how most engineers like to work.

That's not to say that FP is at odds with iterative programming, but it means that you have to work out a "specification" of your code pretty completely from the beginning.

Although, even then it's not so bad because the excellent type systems and compilers mean you can develop the specification interactively (see Idris' typed holes).
I had never heard of it, either, growing up in the US in the 80s and 90s. Certainly it is far more prevalent now than it was back then.
I'm glad to know other people have this experience and find ways to share it.
Well, the water DOES come over. Whiskey is distilled to at most 80% AL so you get 20% water with other things coming along for the ride. If you go much higher then 80% you start loosing so much flavor that you might as well be aging vodka.

That said, most of the flavor still comes from the barrel.
I just want to make it clear that this is a choice you're afforded because of the value of your home.

You (quite literally) have a million-dollar offer on the table to move to, say, Austin, TX (or dozens of other great cities). The fact that you choose not to accept that offer does not negate the existence of the offer. The offer is always there. And this is a very real asset that you have (that, I hope it's clear, most people don't have), whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.

Worth pointing out: they have a sandstorm version, which changes the amount of justification need rather a lot.
my understanding is that a big part of determining the stage of a cancer is based on tumor size and spread.

https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/diagnosis-staging/stagin...

I think most treatment is focused on killing/removing tumor cells and reducing tumor, so the earlier stage a cancer is detected, the less tumor have to remove, and the better the chances of removing all the tumor so there's nothing left to grow, spread, or metastasize beyond the initial tumor site.
I love Simple, but definitely need a backup bank as well. I use their debit card for most purchases and love the real-time alerts. Also, love how they break down purchases.
> what if the political tide turns against my religion and my church's website is knocked off the web for being "anti-LGBT"?

Yes, what then? Shall we solve that problem when we have it?

Because you can fantasize and theorize until the cows come home about how your religion and your church will be knocked off the web but in the meantime that never happened and it very likely never will and if and when it does you will find a lot of voices sympathetic to your cause, including mine.

Or are we somehow beyond being able to evaluate things on merit?

> I'm hoping this is just an extreme case and that they won't do it on a wide-scale in the future.

Yes, it is an extreme case. And no, it most likely - you can't deal in absolutes - won't be done on a wide scale in the future.
Especially true in dynamic languages like Python.
This dude doesn't have any storage anywhere. I mean, I don't take many photos and even my photos use more than 50GB. I can't imagine anyone who makes a post like that requiring less than a Terabyte for all the stuff they create and/or download.
Slowly but surely. This isn't even close to a real diagnostic, but it's a hopeful proof of concept.

I really do wish detection studies would publish a ROC curve, though, or at least d'.
I can't think of any acceptable Qt or Xamarin apps period, which is the real point of comparison here. The fact that VS Code is acceptable is truly surprising and represents a victory not only for Electron but the whole concept of cross-platform apps.
No but the Titanic set let's your practice essential skillset and dip your toe into kaggle.

You still need to clean those missing data and do some sort of imputation. (edit you cannot use randomforest until you deal with those missing values in R at least and from a theory perspective I don't recall CART handling missing data.)

If you want to eek out those percentage of accuracy you have to do feature engineering which gave me the chance for the first time to actually understand and practice feature engineering.

And of course you gotta do EDA on it.

The only thing I've see that is bad about the Titanic is the data leakage. People are getting 100% accuracy because you can look up who's actually dead or use the test data with your train data and increase your model accuracy. But it also introduce you to the concept of data leakage.

I think the titanic dataset is very nice and compact that it lets you practice a variety of skill sets within the datascience domain. Much better than when I had to deal with medical genetic data.

> variable selection

You mean multivariate data?

I think there's a reason why in applied statistic you take statistic and regression first before you jump into multivariate.

Unless you just want to blindly do PCA and factor analysis on everything under sun without understanding the theory sure.
Interesting. How did you like it? Does every person at Intel have their own quarterly OKR list, or do they stop propagating down at some level? Were they always on time? How did lower levels give input with regard to what they thought were important goals? Or did really everything come top-down?
> the ICE raids on immigrants

That's not fair. Humanity is not yet at the stage where it can allow anybody to live wherever they want. I also can't move to the US without a visa, not legally at least. And if I do it illegally, I can't complain if I get raided one day. It's not a human right yet to live in the US.

BTW, those kind of raids also happen in Europe. Yes, they make be feel bad, but unless we go for radical taxation and basic income (including for immigrants), I don't see how we could not have them.

I never understood the restriction on presidents being born US citizens until recently. What we've observed of late is a perversion of the basic liberties and freedoms that America was founded on. My hypothesis is that in part this is due to an influx of individuals who were not raised to value those freedoms and liberties within quite the same cultural context. (I'm trying to be very careful here please don't pervert my words.) This is by no means bad but my point is that it certainly is at odds with our own American cultural values. It is also supprising how many Americans I've met so easily prefer personal safety or cater to anecdotal passion and empathy. What's so ironic is ther it's these very values that have allowed us to become what we are today. Why are we so eager to throw those out the minute we realize just how powerful they are? But that's not the point. My point is that it's fine to entertain and exchange all cultures and ideas, but we've built a system of geverning people that depends to some degree on our own cultural identity. The key to true diversity is tolerance--the ability to firmly retain your own identity whilst co-existing with all the other ones. We cannot value freedom of expression if we are not willing to tolerate ideas that are different from our own. There's a word for a shared political/social worldview: uniformity.
Actually refusing to build more housing is what is raising prices.
I agree that 82% to 4% seems pretty robust. However, larger data sets are more robust to potential flaws in experimental implementation.
The only downside is that, at least once, some hapless intern is guaranteed to load the dishwasher with hand soap. I don't know why, but there's always one.
> it was probably designed with security by obscurity in mind

Anything in particular that makes you think this is probable? There's evidence to the contrary as mentioned in another comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15040972

> If they don't have the binary, they can't find vulnerabilities in that, right?

No, vulnerabilities can still be found (and they've had the binary all along). This just allows them to decrypt it and inspect the source code, which makes it easier to identify vulnerabilities than a black box.
I think it is indeed a distinction: Facebook is no doubt a bad habit for some portion of its users, just like many other things are. But casting doubt on the legitimacy of their business model by using the "you are the product" trope is really a different matter. The things that are actually worrying about Facebook would still be worrying even if we paid for it, and suddenly weren't "the product" anymore.

"Benefit" is a fraught word. History is littered with those campaigning against presumed vices. I can't find the quote right now, but I'm pretty sure Dr Kellogg, the cornflakes guy, had some things to say about young women reading fiction that IIRC wasn't all that different from what critics have to say about Facebook today.

Whatever is wrong with Facebook is analogues to what's wrong with any number of vices, from sugar to alcohol to weed (and Facebook is probably in the very light end of that spectrum). They all benefit users, but also potentially do harm. The solution isn't moral zealously, it's being responsible, being aware of not letting it get to you and helping a friend before they get in too deep.
We can solve that easily: We just call people Nazis who call themselves Nazis. Problem solved.
Incredible. How can they spin prenatal screening for Down syndrome as a bad thing? It's a severe disorder with literally no benefits and we're absolutely better off taking steps to eliminate it.
Well, if you stay outside of the Google Play Store, you don't really need a Google account to get it working. Bought a new one this month, and I was able to do basic functions + receive a security update before I got home and typed in the password from my password manager.

I used to work for Apple a long time ago and this was one of their 10 "core" values (and I'm sure they intended the pun). For whatever reason, this one value really stuck with me because I'd find that people tend to be more honest with you when you assume positive intent. Instead of trying to defend their actions, they explain what their thought process was in making decisions and taking action and are much more likely to admit when something fails. Between "assume positive intent" and "failure is an option and, sometimes, it's the best option", I find that interactions with people are much smoother and far more genuine.
No, I was commenting on statement, "everyone does this". What I was trying to say is that with effort, you can begin to identify times when you are biased toward a certain thing (in this case, different programming styles), and consciously choose to leave your emotions out of the equation.
I'll start mining atemerevCoin, launch my ICO and become rich. But in all seriousness, you are correct, and I think this is a good thing. If they can't decide what Bitcoin should look like, fork it, launch all three, and we will soon find out which one people want. However in my opinion, Bitcoin is also an evolutionary dead-end, and the future is Ethereum.

I'm running Termux on a Samsung Chromebook 3. Can you explain what you're running, so we can try to see why it doesn't work for you?

Also, don't forget, you can run Termux in the background, with an sshd, and then run any SSH client you want to talk to it --- which puts the copy and paste into your control.

Also, Termux is open source... So, if you have ideas about Copy and Paste, you can try to implement them.

To switch application windows in Termux, Control-Alt-C makes a new window, Control-Alt-N goes to next, Control-Alt-P goes to previous. It works great, and is super quick.

You can run multiple Termux Application Windows, and then you can run multiple SSH clients, so multiple monitors will work.

I know some of these are kind of hacks, but I'm just trying to be helpful.

Android Apps do handle the mouse terribly, no argument.
These are the sort of absurd conclusions people draw when they allow their worldview to be dominated by a single theme. In fact I'd argue all extremism derives from a conception and understanding of the world which bends around a single theme, so that even things which in reality have nothing to do with that theme are assumed to have a connection to it.

Look at the ugly era of McCarthyism in 1950's America. McCarthy saw Communists everywhere because he wanted to see Communists everywhere. Were there Soviet style Communists in America? Certainly so. But not to the extent that he believed.

Remember: history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
Yeah, ~10 years as a manager (and 30 in the industry) is not a lot of experience. But it's enough to know that "focus on the stars" mostly aims at making the managers life easier - anybody can manage a team of great performers.

Of course it's a judgment call. Some things, you cannot fix. But some things, you can, and the cost of doing so is much less than rehiring. Good management means making those judgment calls, not just saying "meh, I don't care about low performers, too much work".

Maybe, just maybe, that's a tiny part of the reason people on my team seem to stay longer than 4 years. Because we don't just treat them as disposable cogs.
My son has a peanut allergy which manifested in the same way. We were then told to have a component test done on his blood to determine which proteins he was actually allergic. It was explained that some are more commonly related to anaphylaxis while others tend to just cause rashes, etc. He ended up testing positive to one that is considered "bad", and he has been in OIT for awhile. So far so good - but I recently heard of a child doing the same with milk OIT and the child passed away. Very scary stuff.
Interested in what quote exactly you refer to?

I think this difference is primarily due to free speech. You will have to sacrifice fast, decisive action if you allow anyone to jump in and muddle the waters.

No, not "how". Merely that it still works at all. A big fraction of the population assumes you have to buy cable to get TV. Some think that selling TV antennas is illegal. [1]

My super-quick skim of the paper shows that they are indeed using cfDNA. The novelty presented lies in the creation and application of a technique they dub "targeted error correction sequencing" (TEC-Seq).

Figure 2 shows the sequencing error rate reduced from around 1e-4 using conventional NGS to 1e-6 using TEC-Seq.

This increased sensitivity allows for discovery of early cancer at levels that are undetectable using existing cfDNA testing techniques.
