It isn't clear to me where you're getting these numbers from... where do you find 35 WT and 35 mutant? Could you point me to the data for WT vs mutant embryos in this experiment?

Edit: in case you're referring to the table you linked to, the top line is unmanipulated embryos, and the second and third to experimental embryos, control and test. The survival rate of the second two lines is reported as similar.
That's globalization for you.

Apple's software is based on open source BSD. They sub-contract the building of their phones to China, and they are made mostly with Korean chips and displays.

Apple can import cheap indentured workers from overseas on H1B visas.

They avoid US tax by pushing their profits through Ireland.

Kodak was a far more progressive company that invested in their employees.

> In fact, I don't think it's weird, I think it's reality.

At the risk of sounding snarky, I think it's useful to point out that we call it the Standard Model and not the Standard Reality.

Model ≠ Reality, yadda yadda.

We have an immensely useful model of fundamental physics as long as the energies are low enough. However, I feel that we lose a lot by letting that utility stop us from asking epistemic questions of the model itself.

Historically, math has gained a lot by taking such questions seriously, especially in the areas of logic and computation.
For the curious, it sounds like you may be referring to the "assistive technologies" upgrade. Anyone who uses any kind of assistive technology is entitled to a free upgrade. And they do mean any kind, and they don't ask what you use:

"We are not restricting the upgrade offer to specific assistive technologies. If you use assistive technology on Windows, you are eligible for the upgrade offer."

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgra...

If you're worried about the ethics of saying you use an assistive technology when you don't think you really do, take a look at the Windows 10 Ease of Access settings. Anything in there obviously qualifies you, and many of them can be useful for just about anyone. For example:

Do you get tired of the crazy Windows 10 Start menu animation, and the downright awful cursor animation in Word and Excel? (Really, what were they thinking: when you click on a cell in Excel, the box cursor animates from the old cell it was on to the cell you clicked on! Who in the world cares about the old cursor location when clicking on a new cell? And when you type text in Word, the blinking cursor animates across the screen as you type instead of moving in sync with your keystrokes like every other program in the world.)

You can fix that: Ease of Access / Other Options / turn off the "Play animations in Windows" setting.

What if you have a high-DPI display and find the default one-pixel cursor width a bit hard to see? You can make it thicker in that same panel.

Have a keyboard with a numeric pad and would like to be able move the mouse cursor using the numeric pad? Ease of Access / Mouse / turn on Mouse Keys.

Don't have a numeric pad, or you would like to be able to move the mouse cursor from the home row keys? Get my JKLmouse program that gives you IJKL or HJKL mouse cursor movement: http://www.jklmouse.com/ - forgive the shameless plug, but it is really useful to be able to move the mouse cursor precisely pixel by pixel. MouseKeys or JKLmouse let you do that, and either one also qualifies as an assistive technology. (And sorry my installer isn't signed, but if you prefer, you can get the source code from GitHub and run it under AutoHotkey - just put a shortcut to the script in your Startup folder.)

Have a high-DPI display and want the better support that Windows 10 offers for it? Or do you ever use a screen magnifier to see individual pixels - either the one built into Windows or one of the many others available? Same story.

Anything along these lines legitimately qualifies you for the upgrade, so you don't have to feel guilty for clicking the "Yes, I use assistive technologies" button.
My point is the majority of speculators lost most of their money in the short-term, and didn't live long enough to see the value of their investment appreciate, and for most people that would qualify as a failed investment.
Note: Best to run that program through `cweave` and read the typeset output, rather than read the `.w` file directly.

> the connection between information theoretic entropy and physical entropy

Refrigerating tomatoes kills the flavor and the nutrients, so like all fruits and vegetables they are best consumed 'in season'.
Yes, this happens inside a single translation unit (.cpp file). However if you have multiple .cpp files which include the same header file you have to reparse it each time. This is because before the inclusion of that header different #defines might have been set (e.g. through other headers), and therefore the content of the header file might be different.
Just like "client" and "server" swapped during the transition from X-Windows to WWW.

That reads more like propaganda than anything I've ever seen come out of the NOS.

It is however interesting that there is overlap between stichting wakker dier membership and producers of NPO shows. Moreover it is very worrying that Diederik Stapel has any public advisory function. I wouldn't call this 'evidence of close organizational ties' though.
It's not the second inclusion that's a problem but the way any given template might behave completely differently depending on what order they're loaded in.

That is, including a, b, c is not necessarily the same as a, c, b or b, a, c. This is not true with proper modules, they're order invariant, and as such you can make a ton of optimiztions.
Yes, just like we all know it's bad air that gives you malaria. Good thing no one bothered researching that.
> Venezuela.

Great example, if bitcoin suddenly developed magic powers that could unseat a dictator, write a new constitution, educate the electorate, and protect the rule of law.

Seriously though, two things.

One, Venezuela has significant problems that magically giving everyone a bitcoin wallet isn't going to solve.

And two, currently the biggest use of Bitcoin in Venezuela is to evade currency controls. Which is criminal activity. Which is one of the only two things Bitcoin has a usecase for (the other being speculation)

So yeah, while a lot of people might be better off if they engaged in criminal activity, you can't use Venezuela as an example of a legitimate use-case for bitcoin.
If the hypothetical we're discussing is "kill all the rich", assuming the year after takes place in a capitalist economy doesn't seem like a sure thing.
Sure, but string theory shows what happens if you can't come up with a testable theory in a reasonable timeframe.

It is the ultimate "version 2.0" product. Missing features in the original, vastly over-engineered, and never ready to ship.

This is an extra-ordinary opportunity to be working on a contrarian real world use case of Blockchain technology in the most difficult conventional markets of all: real estate.

Vulpos enables you to own a home anywhere you go.

Millennials are not buying homes anymore. At the same time, rents are rising.

The renter position is getting weaker while landlords are getting stronger.

We are creating a token specifically designed for to solve this problem.

As a holder of the token you can use it to access apartments or houses for a short stay or to live in for years.

Additionally you can rent the token out if you are not in need of the spaces we provide.

Is this something you are exciting to work on send me a message here or through my email: fadi@vulpos.com then we will take it from there.

Looking forward to meet you.

Best,

Fadi

We have other kinds of relationships for when sexuality need not be involved. It seems like a huge waste for people to make all that time investment in a romantic context when there is not even mutual sexual interest.

People looking for purely companionate or utilitarian relationships can still find friends, roommates, and coworkers the old fashioned way.
To the point about his ego not being fed at Google: when he went there, I wondered what he would be working on and if being another name on a roster if insanely talented engineers and scientists(Norvig, Pike, on and on and on)would help him grow and create more great things, or prove a frustration in some way. What was he working on there, I haven't read many details, does anyone know?
Seems like building an app for say music festivals has a lot of the same requirements. If you can build an app that supports Glastonbury and Burning Man that can be your commercial underpinning and testbed, and disaster relief can be the free part of the service.

Many of the comments up thread said redistribution doesn't work. Working is defined as reducing poverty levels which is literally measured by how much money they spend. And redistribution is literally giving poor people money.

I.e. giving poor people money doesn't end up with the poor spending more money.
Wait, what? That's not what I see:

> This Wells Fargo Addendum constitutes a legal agreement between you, Stripe, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C. (collectively, “Wells Fargo”).
That is an interesting edge case. I might amend my definition based on 'ease of translation' arguing that e.g. webassembly text and macro-less x86 assembly are so close to bytecode as to be equivalent.

In the end though, it seems hopeless to keep a sharp distinction definition of transpilers or compilers for that matter. Would something that turns WebAssembly text into WASM binary qualify for a compiler? Does an x86 assembler qualify? What about headless browsers that create screenshots?

Funnily enough, from a mathematical point of view, it's the opposite: integration is a really nice operation that can be applied to basically anything, whereas differentiation is really finicky, sometimes derivatives don't exist and you can't even be too sure when, so you need to be extra careful. This carries over to doing numerical computing: integrating an arbitrary function is easy, for smooth 1d functions it's a solved problem, differentiating even a reasonably smooth function numerically is much harder. If there is noise in your function, it doesn't matter so much for integrating, but can completely break the derivative.
I wish good luck to your friend. Truly.
Women I met Switzerland, who slept with at least football team of men, desperately wanted to have family and another child. She could not comprehend, why I would not propose to her on the 2nd month of of dating. After few months, she ran away, found another men, sent me a pics of her wedding rind, another man. Soon her engagement fell apart.

I'm still on Windows 7 on my Thinkpad because my apps work fine and because windows 10 added these stupid scroll animations when you hit the page down key. Many people don't care but I use the page down key a lot and event time I press it in Windows 10 it animates the scroll down gesture which is annoying. I don't want a tablet on a Thinkpad. I know on Windows 8 it wasn't possible to disable it when I tried. Hopefully disabling animations will now fix this in Windows 10.
As far as I can tell, no. Never seen anyone I know get a response, for all the posting they do.

Aren't you really saying that they are narcissists?

The job market is a bit like this - a lot of job opennings and a lot of applicants.

If all of the jobs you are qualified for are beneath you, then you need to fix your head. And if you want stability, but the only jobs that pay what you deserve are short terms contracts, then you need to consider your priorities.

We tell people not to settle, because getting deeply emotionally involved with someone unsuitable ends painfully. As does trying a committed relationship and realizing that you could do better.

But 'settling' for someone as attractive, clever, funny and sane as you are is not settling.
I found this article's explanation of the basic state of physics to be one of the best I've read. I know squat about the field, and so can't say if it was accurate or not, but the layman's explanation of the core problems of quantum theory, the probability and whatnot, was easy to grasp, and made sense.
Socialism is a bit of an over-loaded word. Most people use it to speak about market economies in western Europe with heavily funded public health, wellness, and education programs which intend to promote democratic constitutional goals such as equal opportunity for citizens.

Planned economies such as the USSR clearly impinge on human liberty, tend to be undemocratic, and are usually very inefficient, and I think almost everybody would agree with you that they aren't a good alternative to the current U.S political and economic system.
Zello has three problems: one is the afore-mentioned battery overhead, the second is cellphone push-to-talk adapters resold by the company are very expensive.

You can find knockoff PTT devices on eBay but they don't have momentary switches, so you have to remember to click once to speak and again to clear the channel and any accidental brush against the toggle can end up blocking the channel indefinitely. And that's the third problem with Zello: its "only one person may speak at once" nature.

As I mentioned previously, this really seems like the same problem a music festival faces just at a different scale. If someone could build an app that supports Glastonbury or Burning Man that could be the commercial underpinning that lets this hypothetical app donate services during a disaster.

You'd already know how to add and allocate people to bands of channels based on their role and responsibilities. And how to deal with griefers who try to channel dominate or block for their own selfish or stupid ends.

Heck maybe Zello (or this hypothetical app) add a more WhatsApp-like buffered playback mode that means people just queue for whose message is heard next but no one hears anything from you until your transmission ends, rather than trying to make your cellphone literally emulate a two way radio or Sprint/Nextel phone.

That would also mean you could just see the previous stream of talk activity and play it back on joining or rejoining a channel. Add a way to tag conversations with rescue numbers and you can even make accessing data about a given rescue searchable.

Sounds like a fun project. If anyone needs an SRE guy when they get ycombinator funding look me up. :-)

One last note to potential investors: the Department of Homeland Security established CERT to let the general public be trained for assisting first responders. Included in that training is buying a go bag of your own for basic first aid. Adding a $10 waterproof PTT switch to your bag is not unreasonable. (Asking people to shell out $50-$175 which is what current Zello ptt adapters cost is too much IMHO).

Anyway one could potentially sell this to the government although that would probably mean FEMA coordinating the onboarding of users and devices during a disaster for both the good and bad it implies.
>>>the internet has enabled a very large number of people to either get or improve on their education.

For me the greatest achievements of the internet are the Khan Academy and Wikipedia, the runner after those would be the Gutenberg project. Open access is changing the world as we speak.

1000%% agree on this, but being in the position I am; I am in a position to have the perspective that allows; where I have benefited from it all, contributed a tiny amount to some of it - but not tarnished by money+power to see that this is still not enough.

Look - I think very highly of you, but I am also of the position that just because some person did well on their internet eureka, doesnt automatically make them a good person.

It's all this vocabulary fighting that makes this stuff so damn hard for people new to trying to do interesting things with strings. Like, different languages use totally different terms in the API documentation, even.

So, for example, I can figure out how to take a document written in Microsoft Word with that Latin-1 business and make the characters stop sucking in python 3, but I don't even know what to google to do the same thing in javascript, because people use terms like "encoding" and such totally differently.

>So turn your eyes forward and focus on what you can change: the future.

And now you start feeling bad about it not happening tomorrow. Better advice is to feel who you are, not who you're going to be, because the latter is simply a change after applied force, but the former is the force itself. Talking to my succesful friends I realized they're no more happy nor sad than me or themselves in the past. Success doesn't make relationships better, even worse. Success doesn't answer any fundamental questions you have, because it is about acceptance, not about the force that reasonably stops you every time you attempt to be "nice player". Not researching/admitting your inner true state is just a colorful way to a personal exhaust, such loved by those who convert people to wealth which they also don't need.

Above said doesn't apply to those who are "succesful" by design and maybe some groups out of my (pretty narrow) focus.
