UV SOLID STATE DETECTION AND METHODS THEREFOR: Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases
UV SOLID STATE DETECTION AND METHODS THEREFOR

Micro Detect, Inc. ("MDI"), a medical diagnostic company located in Southern California, has recently developed an innovative diagnostic technique for conducting antigen/antibody tests. MDI has sought the protection of its innovative diagnostic technique in a published PCT patent application. MDI’s innovative diagnostic technique is a pragmatic approach to rapid antigen/antibody tests, which has an estimated worldwide market of over $60B/year. MDI’s innovative diagnostic technique is a fast, easy to use, one step, and low-cost method that delivers point of care or on-site testing. MDI’s innovative diagnostic technique may be used in the diagnosis of infectious diseases in humans and animals, and for a single or multiple analysis in one run. The diagnostic test may also be used for the detection of autoimmune disorders, cancer markers, antibodies to allergens, proteins, nucleic acids, et cetera. The diagnostic test may also be developed for the longitudinal follow-up of chronic disease-states.
The specimens or test samples may include tear, saliva, blood, serum, plasma, urine, stool, or any other body discharge. MDI’s innovative diagnostic technique may also be utilized in the food industry by using extracts of food containing microorganisms or their toxins as the samples.
MDI has designed and developed a prototype detection instrument, which has provided sufficient data to demonstrate feasibility. Below please find a site associated with a published article that supports the efficacy of MDI’s technology:

MDI is currently looking for a high-tech company that would like to acquire the aforementioned MDI’s technology.
If people have an expectation that they do not need to be prepared for a disaster because they expect care from others, I might call them foolish. But I have a hard time seeing the sense in accusing people who were unprepared for this of being selfish and greedy.

I think the fact that you're claiming these flood victims (who do not all "expect" others to care for them, but may appreciate it) greedy shows a lack of empathy for their difficulty.

For reference, the cost of a 737-900ER is about $100M. The value of the PR that comes from a heroic evacuation is hard to measure.
I'm sure it's quite easy for journalists and others to mix up revenue from "Google Play Services" (aka the non-open source parts of Android) and "Google Play" (the app store), even though they are very different.

The rumours I've heard is that Google charges about $10/phone.
PR benefits seems like another plausible explanation.
That's all nice and good, except it assumes that CO2 emissions is the cause of warming and no such causality has been established.

Yet somehow Jeff Sessions can't stop talking about "urban pot epidemic" and how pot, including medical pot, needs to be cracked down upon.

Meanwhile opioids and meth are completely out of control, but because they are largely white rural/suburban drug users, they have been getting a free pass for decades.

Just look at all this free PR.

But I choose to believe it was about giving people one last chance to get out.
Virtualization certifications: Where the jobs are
Completeness of stack. If you're under the impression that your runtime ends where the Docker container does, that will eventually bite you--it's very rare for my workstation to be running the same kernel version as my servers and I've been bitten multiple times in the past by kernel bugs due to differences in version, so even if I use Docker (which is rare) I run it through a known-good virtual machine that mirrors production as closely as possible.

(Vagrant also has a Docker provider, but I can't think of a good reason to use it.)
> All this is coming.

And when it gets here, then IRCCloud and Quassel would be a good answer to my original comment. But now, those clients don't provide those features, while Slack does.
Vagrant lets you provision in a codified manner full-fledge VMs. This code can be pulled down by your developers to deploy a development environment on their machines. Inside of this you can choose to run containers of your apps with proper tooling built around it.
It's not DO. It's scaleway C1 arm server, even cheaper.

Golang produces native code with very good runtime with green threads which makes it very easy to do async programming and write efficient network code. But language won't save you from inefficient algorithms and dumb code of course.

> I love the idea of just serving a production HTTP API from a single go file.

You may have mistaken by single Go file in my service but it is actually a lot of code included spread across several libraries.
In order to write this service I had to write my own open graph library, oembed library, html parsing library etc..
Not the video, but found the quote:

"Partly what you need to do is decide what your highest value is. It's the star. What are you aiming for? You can decide. But there are some criteria. It should be good for you in a way that facilitates your moving forward. Maybe it should be good for you in a way that's also good for your family, as well as for the larger community. It should cover the domain of life. There's constraints on what you should regard as a value, but within those constraints you have the choice. You have choice. The thing is that people will carry a heavy load if they get to pick the load. And they think, 'well, I won't carry any load.' Ok, fine, but then you'll be like the sled dog that has nothing to pull. You'll get bored. People are pack animals. They need to pull against a wait. And that's not true for everyone. It's not true for conscientious people. For the typical person, they'll eat themselves up unless they have a load. This is why there's such an opiate epidemic among so many dispossessed white, middle aged, unemployed men in the U.S. They lose their job, and then they're done. They despise themselves. They develop chronic pain syndromes and depression. And the chronic pain is treated with opiates. That's what we're doing. And you should watch when you talk to young men about responsibility. They're so thrilled about it. It just blows me away. Really?! That's what the counter-culture is? Grow up and do something useful. Really? I can do that? Oh, I'm so excited by that idea. No one ever mentioned that before. Rights, rights, rights, rights. Jesus. It's appalling. People have had enough of that. And they better have, because it's a non-productive mode of being. Responsibility, man. That's where the meaning in life is." --Jordan B Peterson
Most of the early return happened because the ground crew managed a really quick turnaround and so the flight departed Puerto Rico 25-30 mins early.
It's also my understanding that the passengers they flew in were FEMA workers and 100 or so of the people they flew out were "nonrevs" with seats still open on the plane after that i.e. Most of the people who they flew out worked for airlines and no one was kept off the plane due to space
Or, you know, the components that he removed in order to put that jack in...

Seriously... he shows the pieces he had to remove in order to get this working and he compromised the water-proofing of the phone. How is that, in any way, an equivalence to "void" or "empty space"?
1. Get enough sleep each and every night. Burning the midnight oil isn't good for your body.

2. How is your diet? Fast food, junk, might contribute to feeling sluggish. Drink enough water each day. Maybe some green tea.

3. Exercise! Make time for it.

4. Make a list for the next day of things you NEED to accomplish.

For me, I have found that eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep have done wonders for my energy, mental clarity and goals! I get up every day, drink some tea and then look at my list of tasks I MUST accomplish that day. This helps me hit the ground running.

I used to have an overnight job, 10pm - 8am and it killed my ability to do much of anything else. You are up all night while others are sleeping, then you get home and you need sleep. If you sleep to much then you can't run errands or even get much of anything done before you need to think about going back for the next 10pm - 8am shift. Stopping working this job was huge for me.
Made decisions based on what? Astrological charts?

You need meaningful data to make meaningful decisions. Otherwise you are mistaking luck for expertise.
Would either of you be interested in this? https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=15194413&goto=threads%...
I wholly agree. If you measure efficiency by code production and feature/bugfix turnaround time, I guarantee you can lose a huge percentage of your efficiency very easily. How about a 15 second interruption every 10 minutes? The amount of useful work you got done that day might be well below 50% of an "undistracted" day.

The overhead of constant context switching has a high price. If this is happening on your team, no tool can fix it. You have to fix the culture, and that's much harder.

"Flame wars" in the sense of actually responding to the people who are trying to have a discussion on the technical points? Suggesting that my posts involve flaming virtually ever is a flagrant mischaracterization, and we both know it.

This thread contains about the "worst" you'll find from me, with "No offense, but this reveals your ignorance...". This is a flame only insofar as "flame" constitutes any disagreement at all.

When the account was rate-limited, the complaint was a) that HN had received out-of-band complaints from people who were getting mad that I discouraged others from deploying database clusters on Kubernetes; and b) that my posts on the subject were "trite". Maybe I don't waste enough time on HN, but I'd never seen that before.

I concede there was one post in that thread that could be interpreted as borderline incendiary, suggesting that the only reason to run a database on top of k8s is to win "GCool Points" (a position I continue to maintain), but it was directed at no one in particular, intended to provide some levity to non-techno-hipsters, and prevent some of the routine noise we see every time I make that type of post from people who really don't have any counter-point except that "Google does it!". Hardly a habit of engaging in flame wars. And it was used by HN/YC as an excuse to "detach" the entire thread, in which a real technical debate was occurring, as is occurring here, instead of just the single borderline post.

I understand that you feel the need to go on the record with a denial. I hope you can appreciate that I feel that need too, whether the accusation is implied through the rate limit that prevents me from replying and may mislead others into believing that my position is indefensible, or explicit, as it is now.
since i am using docker-compose locally, i have little use for vagrant nowadays. For staging and production the docker containers run inside a Kubernetes environment which i don't want to replicate locally. Am i missing something ?
So does non-hurricane air. The hurricane by itself presents very little danger to a plane in the air.
Even if the subject doesn't interest you: this is a masterfully written flame worthy of reading on that basis. Certainly much more enjoyable than the more typical polemics.

As for the article itself, I feel it sadly doesn't even make its own case particularly well, cherry picking statistics and aggregating dissimilar data (e.g. clumping aristos and private corporations together when looking at Scottish landholding)

As it happens I agree politically with the writer that aristocracy is not a good idea (though hard to eradicate in any society), not that I care much if Great Britain has problems.
The use of the phosphorus donor is interesting. I haven't read it through totally, but it reminded me of this hypothesis: https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-new-spin-on-the-quantum-bra...

The other thing that I didn't see is a mention of the temperature, although I presume it may be around room temperature based of previous work with donor-spin qubits.

Also note that this isn't an experimental demonstration, this is a theoretical treatment with simulations. Nothing wrong with that, but there was a lot of brouhaha over non-Abelian anyons for topological quantum computing a bit back, but those weren't experimentally demonstrated to even exist. Now, to be fair, these are concrete simulations and are definitely different from the non-Abelian anyon situation because they don't require the existence of particles which haven't been experimentally demonstrated, and IIRC spin-donor qubits have been demonstrated before experimentally, but do know that there can be unexpected pitfalls. For example, in theory QAHE state materials should exhibit no backscatter theoretically, but experimental measurements instead suggest that there is a small amount of backscatter, although the mechanism remains unknown.

Nonetheless, hopefully exotic physics in conventional materials can push forward EE devices in the future!
Err, no, this is a misconception. All IO in Go is async - there is no sync IO in Go (as sync IO would block an entire OS thread). There is an internal registry mapping blocked file descriptors to goroutines - when a kernel IO function returns EAGAIN, the goroutine throws the file descriptor + goroutine info onto the registry and yields back to the scheduler. The scheduler occasionally checks all descriptors on the registry to mark goroutines that were waiting on IO as being alive. The scheduler is, therefore, essentially a multithreaded variation on a standard "event loop" - the only difference is that "callbacks" (continuations of a goroutine) can be run on any of M threads rather than just one.

From a Go programmer's perspective, this looks like "blocking a thread", but because goroutines are relatively lightweight in comparison to actual threads, it behaves similarly resource-wise to callback-based async IO. (Although yes, nginx is likely optimised so that it throws out data earlier than Go can free stack space and so can save some memory. Exactly how much is up to benchmarking to find out.)

Basically, the only differences between Go and e.g. a libev-based application as far as IO is concerned is a different syntax - the event loop is still there, just hidden from the programmer's point of view.

Note that this doesn't mean you shouldn't put nginx in front of Go to serve static files - nginx is likely more optimised for the job than Go's file server, might handle client bugs a little better, is more easily configurable (e.g. you can enable a lightweight file cache in just a few settings), you don't have to mess around with capabilities to get your application listening on port 80 as a non-root user, and so on and so forth.
I wish companies would stop doing big release announcements followed by a signup that puts me on the waitlist. Let me try it out right now if you want to tell me about it. I'll get an email nine months down the road and probably just delete it because I won't even have thought about it after the announcement.
that's really good news!
Wrong way around. Hashicorp decided to release Vagrant as an omnibus installer that packages an embedded Ruby, which (apparently? I haven't checked, I'm going off the earlier post) isn't Ruby 2.4.

They also killed off the gem-distributed version--which is still, to this day, a huge pain in the rear, to the point where I build my own Vagrant so it doesn't use its own weird out-of-the-way Ruby.
The bigger news is that they announced GA of their Dropbox Project Infinite competitor today. https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2017/09/drive-file-stre...

Could a launch bug have caused this morning's Google Drive outage?
Yes, Quassel and IRCCloud are exactly such solutions.

But that always has to happen in such distributed systems, Matrix has the same – your home node actually connects to the Matrix network, and you connect to that.

Even on XMPP you end up running an XMPP server somewhere which connects via federation to the actual network, and your clients just connect to that server.
And when their selling point is about "open communication" being a human right. A bit over the top. Then all this crypto currency nonsense. If I showed this page to a manager at a company, they'd immediately be turned off by that. Why not just drop a stripe checkout form onto the page with "Donate?"

Curious do you work in-office, or remotely?

Being on a remote team, without slack we'd be a lot more disjointed without having chat.

We have some business folk who insist to chat through email, and it always ends in a very convoluted chain with 15 people in...and it's horrible....
Vagrant is useful if you want to simulate a whole box, or a cluster of boxes - for example, you can spin up a cluster of 3 VMs to run Mesosphere DC/OS [0]. If you build and deploy just containers, and don't have any full VMs in your stack, then you might not need Vagrant.

Vagrant also claims to provide a "good workflow for writing Dockerfiles"; it can provide a nicer user abstraction over `docker [many, many args]` for running your biz [1].

Can you share some things where COBOL still shines today?
That title is very click-baity. Yes, it's being shutdown, but it's also being replaced by "Backup and Sync" which does basically the same thing. I've been using it for a while now and don't even realize I'm not running the old Google Drive app.

I revived a display on a camera that got wet during a rain on Hawai'i after two years when I read about the "rice method" - it was working the next day. Similarly I saved a phone that went off my pocket into toilet - immediately removed battery, washed in water and packed in a box of rice for a day. Works still like new.
A single chart can't possibly explain the entirety of climate change. I was just addressing your points that climate change in the past is like what we're seeing now and that the current trend is cooling.

How do you handle sites that have scraper prevention? Such as captcha, IP throttling, etc.

I'd pay $100-$500 per-month for a service that could reliably scrape some particularly difficult sites. With that being said, I'd need the service to be able to handle ~100 req/s in bursts and 2-4 req/s on average.
The really interesting property, if you do this right, is that you can concaneate a series of fields, sort them lexicographically, and you end up with the data sorted by the types of the fields. This allows you to create complex composite keys that contain primary indexes directly in the key. I don't know if this is something fundamentally important, or obvious, but when I learned it, it made designing my key schema a lot easier.
I’m writing on these things right now. They’re going to be in Quassel at least before the end of the year, on desktop and mobile. In developer builds they’ll already be in in a few weeks or a month.

And almost all functionality already is there anyway, as said.
One of many hidden truths here is that software is expected to scale easily and change easily while physical objects don't have these expectations attached.
What I'm saying is, you're saying this was a case of the airline trying to get out as many people as they could, without much regard for the risk and costs. But from what I see, they seemed to have optimized for the risk and the cost extremely well, to the point where it made perfect sense to do what they did, both business wise and humanitarian. Meaning those seem contradictory.

(In no way am I playing down what they did though. I'm only commenting on your analysis.)
This sums up my thoughts very well. I highly recommend reading Bernard Stiegler on this topic (e.g http://www.samkinsley.com/2016/06/28/how-to-survive-disrupti...)

Unfortunately, little of his work is been translated into English yet, but Wikipedia has compiled a good list of articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Stiegler#Online_texts. This might help too: http://www.samkinsley.com/2011/11/01/reading-bernard-stiegle...

With a blockchain, you could verify that your vote went through but so can your neighbour. Even if you find some way around that: If you can see how you see how your vote was counted, you are able to prove to someone else how you voted making vote selling possible. These are two big reasons not to use such a system.

Personally, I know for certain that my vote in the last election went through because I have seen the complete process myself and have verified that the published vote counts match the once counted in the polling station. There is no black box left.
