"As a result of all this random motion, a typical enzyme can collide with something to react with 500,000 times every second. Watching the video, you might wonder how the different pieces just happen to move to the right place. In reality, they are covering so much ground in the cell so fast that they will be in the "right place" very frequently just by chance."

That's the problem with those visualizations - they aim to give one an intuition of what's happening, but in fact they mislead. I wonder how it's possible to give an intuition of the reality, when in addition to the crazy statistical noisyness of the scene, those molecules are also in quantum superpositions.

Sounds to me, like you are finding excuses to defend a bad design decision. If my mouse dies on me, then I expect to be able to plug it in and then continue to use it, with a minimal interruption of my workflow. Which, how you presented it, is not possible. I shouldn't be forced to bend my workflow around my devices, but my devices should bend to my workflow.

Yes, this is not always possible, but in this case it is just an unnecessary inconvenience. And if I decide, that I want to have the "crappy experience" of using my mouse while it's on a charging cable, then I should be able to make that decision.

This is not "refining experience", it is just bad design.
For the first time I would have hoped that Prof. Tanenbaum included a backdoor in the MINIX network stack. Now that would be kind of ... cool?

Free or open source software doesn't imply working for free. A copy of your software doesn't (necessarily) entail additional work.

I guess whether people in general "work for free" depends on how you define "work" and "free". I work on many different things purely for their utility to my friends and me personally, or just for the fun of creating something. I work and I gain something from it, so the time spent on it is paid for. Call it hobbies or normal social courtesy, it's still work by any reasonable definition. It's also not free; I expect it to benefit me in some way, whether it's by having a great time doing it or the satisfaction of seeing someone else enjoy the product or helping my friends have a good time.
How to Use BBW Hookup Apps to Find BBW Hookup Partner
Your imagined Jony Ive sounds like a real peach.
I do, actually. I simply don't have time to watch all the games I'd like, which is fine, but if I'm going to be on the computer anyway a scrolling terminal play-by-play is ideal: it's minimal and easy to read, it doesn't slow down the computer with some ad-ridden live-updating website, and it's subtle in case I need to hide it. Same reason I use pianobar over the website or phone (plus no ads).

Moreover, the only thing I miss since cutting the cord is live events (sports, states of the union, olympics, etc.). It's not worth it to pay the various leagues (see above, plus I'm a Knicks fan...) so any little bit helps.
Title is inaccurate. MINIX is not Intel's. Why is this ME fluff piece being rehashed? Why are they talking about stupid ideas like replacing it with Linux?
You're excluding exactly what I suspect OP considers a substantive difference.

Also note that some of the first iPhones had plastic backs.

I for one miss plastic, it is a hell of a lot more durable and doesn't have any of the issues with interference. There are lots of ways of making plastic feel premium as well.
Couldn't agree more. And if you need to make it more concrete, Typescript gives you that and more. Well except the variadic generic types which they are planning to have.

I don't like node.js, but I occasionally use Typescript like a more powerful C#.
true, but over time you get better at isolating these gems (pun intended).

Another way to read it is that thanks to the BSD license, Intel got an entire OS for free to use for their backdoor core but that doesn't matter really - the important part is that MINIX is now the most widely used OS in the world :-)
Blogging Requirements: Top Essencial Tools to Run a Blog (2018 Review)
I found Goodsell's images of the crowded intracellular environment in E. coli, useful visualisations in developing a model of a living cellular process, namely, transcription control. Transcription is the first step in gene expression: in E. coli, RNA polymerase transcribes a complementary copy of a gene, namely, messenger RNA, for further processing to protein. The transcription process is controlled by proteins that either compete with RNA polymerase for the start site of transcription (turn off the gene) or bind adjacently and promote transcription (turn on the gene). The difficulty I had in constructing a mathematical model of transcription control was that I wanted to include nonspecific binding, where RNA polymerase binds with low affinity to random stretches of DNA. While such binding occurs with low affinity, the sheer length of the DNA meant that a significant proportion of the RNA polymerase was bound in that form. Fortunately, I became aware of the work of people like Allen Minton (NIH) and Tom Record (U Madison-Wisconsin) who studied molecular crowding. To borrow a sentence from Wikipedia, "[H]igh concentrations of macromolecules reduce the volume of solvent available for other molecules in the solution, which has the result of increasing their effective concentrations." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macromolecular_crowding I found (I hope correctly) that Tom Record's quantification of crowding, as affecting a 100-fold increase in concentration, "exactly" compensated for the reduction due to nonspecific binding.

>Yeah, but why would they? Why would any employee or manager have an incentive to do extra work to do so?

Coz they get paid.

>why would they reinvest the money if there is absolutely no gain to doing so, instead of paying it out to executives

It's true that with a higher profit tax you'd may see execs paying themselves higher and higher salaries and shareholders would be less inclined to prevent it.

>I’m not sure you know what this means. A new factory is an asset, taxes are definitely paid on it if Apple buys a new factory with retained earnings. Are you claiming that a corporation can gain new long term assets without paying any tax unless investors put more money into the business or banks loan them money?

>I'm sorry if I sound shocked, but I actually file corporation taxes for a small business.

So do I. Actually, the year before last I personally paid more in corporation tax than Facebook did (they paid £4,000).

I'm pretty sure they were taking neither investment nor loans.

Apple is notorious for releasing not completely finished "revolutionary" products. They rush for the first release but get the marketing right, then they incrementally polish the product in the following years until it's really good.

I'll probably wait two iteration of the X. And in the meantime if my phone breaks, i'll take the opportunity to experiment with other brands and OS.

Reversing the arguments of the conditional probability, yes, but just saying "it's the reverse" is a bit ambiguous.

> If it is less than 5% probable that the null hypothesis is correct given our data, we will reject the null hypothesis and consider our alternate hypothesis (HA) to be correct.

You could be reversing the 5% to 95%, could be reversing null hypothesis to alternate hypothesis, could be reversing reject to accept, etc. Too many moving parts. P-values are so often misinterpreted, it's best to err on the side of specificity.
This is an interesting article that was cited, pulled out to highlight.

I agree with the general sentiment and indeed do everything you suggest. Based on my experience 99% of the time this is the right approach but there is a small minority of people who are severely damaged. I live in London, UK and despite being polite I've had homeless people be aggressive to me, loud swearing and yelling, but nothing physical so far. Also there was a recent story where a kind woman tried to help a homeless person and invited him to live in her home and tragically he ended up murdering her, her son, and almost the husband (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41484206). Obviously that particular incident is extremely rare but the point, yes everyone is a human, yes everyone should be treated with respect but be cautious, it's impossible to know how damaged and ill someone might be and I think it's best to keep interactions to a minimum but be polite.
They may spend it on cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, etc. Or even be exaggerating/faking their circumstances.
of course Permutation City, I am confused why anyone named that book yet.
After my last drone flew off never to be seen again I started looking into open source flight controllers. The open source platform has come a long way. I consider DJI to be the most advanced at FC firmware. But they intentionally limit you so much.

My next drones will most likely be a Spark for the interior and an easily upgradable OSS DIY rig for aerial photography. Running Betaflight or iNav.

The Berkeley license gives software publishers (which are not users) maximum amount of freedom.

Japan grants residency to a 7-year-old AI 'boy'
Without getting into the licence discussion:

> [...]your engineering teams contacted me about some secret internal project and asked a large number of technical questions[...].

> [...]your engineers began asking me to make a number of changes[...]

Those are two cases where Intel asked Tanenbaum to work for free. First as consultant and then implementing custom code modifications.

Yes, not many people will charge for answering questions and maybe he thought that the changes requested by the Intel engineers were appropriate and useful for the project itself, but the fact remains that this work was valuable to Intel and required Tanenbaum to spend time on it.

Edit: Formatting
I really don't understand the big deal about the notch. Does it cause any problems for anyone?
I personally would select a dynamically typed language (preferable with C-like syntax) like JS/PHP/Lua/etc over a statically typed one for web server projects most of the time. Only for specific high performance web server usecases I would use Go or Java. For video games and other high performance applications I would use C++.

Larger teams have different requirements.
Exactly. JS won because it's the only access to the most awesome and popular dev plateform in the word.

JS has un unfair monopoly.

Just give us a decent language on FF, Chrome et Edge, and everybody will stop using JS withing 5 years.
> Concerns about controlling quality make sense given that artists on Threadless’s forum complain that they’re unable to promote their work because the print quality has dropped to the point that designs flake off after a few washes. Reviewers say the sizing, feel, and weight of Threadless’s shirts is inconsistent and getting worse over time, with some customers reporting that shirts bought five to 10 years ago are still holding up better than those purchased this year.

This is exactly what happened to me, I used to wear a lot of their t-shirts, and needed a couple of new ones, so I did an order, and the fit had changed completely and they started loosing their print after a few washes.

I didn't bother contact them, since I did not want to get into a "ship items back, receive item again and pay import taxes again"-cycle and wrote them off.

They have been turning on their marketing emails a lot with me last couple of weeks, I think they are bleeding.
This needs 2014 in the title. Can someone update?
Which past are you talking about? Before the last years progresses, to make your javascript working on multiple browser your only choice was to lock you learning huge frameworks and toolkits like jquery and dojo, or spend hours during your weekends to get a project working on multiple platforms.

Those times were painful, now it’s much much better.
So you jumped on early in the Rails timeline and we’re able to keep up. Seems you’re just proving that point.

I don’t know where the idea came from that a featureless rectilinear slab is somehow the ideal design for a phone.

Of course people are perfectly welcome to their own opinions, but there’s a deeper design principle here to let an object be what it is.

If all you do with a phone is look at it and tap on it then a plain rectangle is very good.

But you also hold the phone up to your head to talk into it and hear the person on the other side. Orientation is important.

It’s also probably the best camera you’ve ever owned, which intrinticly have a lens and depth. Why try to pretend one of the most important aspects of the phone doesn’t exist? (There have been some truely great camera designs over the years... how many of those were featureless, symmetrical rectangles? But now we think that’s somehow the ideal design??)

And the phone looks back at you, listens to you, and senses your environment. All key features. So why try to sweep those important sensors under the rug? Orientation is important here too, so again you want an orientation, not a symmetric featureless slab.

Sorry to jump on you, but I think your examples aren’t good.
The process was figuring out that we in no way mix any GPL code with our own code. As long as we don't do that it's fine but we still have to make sure every time we touch anything GPL'ed.

My personal opinion is that it's because the term 'a work' which is used liberally in GPL is a legal term and can potentially be interpreted quite broadly. This means that we have to ensure - every time - that what we do does not constitute 'a work' which derives from GPL code - in the legal sense - if we do not want to distribute the source code that we create.

With BSD we don't have to go through that process because it will not result in us losing control over our own software. We just need to stick a disclaimer in a license file and we're done.
It has not caused any issues for me. And faceId, if I can channel my inner SJ, is magical. It’s like I have no security on the device.

My only complaint about the X, is that I want it in the frame of an iPhone plus.
Intel is not the user. They are a vendor, a publisher.

By calling them "users" and saying "users have freedom" you are conflating things needlessly.

We are the users here. We severely lack freedom. (Thanks BSD!)
AI may add $15 trillion to world economy by 2030 (with R code)
The way to think about it is that the bigger the minimum wage, the closer you get to econ 101.

When you're below a certain threshold, the bargaining power effects of the firm hiring minimum wage workers having a monopsony of sorts can mean a MW with little-to-no disemployment effect. I could even see a $15 MW be reasonable in, say, the bay area. But it would be a ridiculous affair nationwide.
Any source for this? That sounds high, it would be enough to pay the rent for a year for each one.
It would also force Intel to give us a means to replace ME with something else which ultimately puts the user in control.
a. The limit has been changed quite a few times in the past. It has both been decreased and increased when required. I think they were soft limits which didnt require a hard fork. I dont have links right now. Will post them as soon as i find any.

b. You are right but their is still a maintainer of the repo that merges the code in the repository and do releases. Core developers don't believe in capability of segwit2x developer i.e. just Jeff Garzik to handle this task.

c. There are two pools slushpool and f2pool that are currently supporting the original chain. Other than this several twitter polls have been done and several meetup groups have posted articles on medium denouncing their support for segwit2x. I am not good with saving links but I am sure you will find several polls with a simple google search.

d. Miners are not a part of bitcoin consensus mechanism. They are a way of safely executing the chosen decision. All issues must be raised before merging code in the bitcoin repo. By blocking the activation of segwit for over an year, miners lost the confidence from the community. Also around 40% of mining power is currently controlled by Bitmain and the rest is also dependent on them as they are the only mining hardware manufacturer.
I don't think it is related to platform but segmentation. The segment being premium phone users. If there was a way to segment Android Flagship users the results will be similar. Apple and iPhone users makes this segmentation much easier.
> 1. Theoretically, a minimum wage will reduce unemployment, and the higher the minimum wage, the higher the impact. However, even in theory it has to be quite high to get meaningful impacts, given how noisy employment data is.

Er, wouldn't minimum wage have the opposite effect, theoretically? If there was a job that I would pay $1 for and someone was willing to do, but the minimum wage is $2, then that job is illegal and won't exist(well, it might, grey economy and all, but sticking to simple theory). This would increase unemployment.
Are there any alternatives to Threadless? Tees from my last order have a completely horrible quality.
Agreed! After being burned by React-Router, more than once, I actually would opt for manually implementing a Redux-et-all solution with something like History.js over using React-Router again. Which is pretty worrying considering how important routing is, or should be, in the ecosystem.
Exactly. When I see something that my friend has found on facebook and I share it, I always acknowledge them for finding it. It's simply intellectual honesty/courtesy. A "thank you" would have been enough. Intel goofed; hopefully they'll make amends. This has nothing to do with legal requirements or financial compensation.
You're conflating two different things.

Yes, the state of the web in 1998 was as you describe, but by 2005-2006 there was an explosion of MVC web frameworks in many different languages, of which Rails was just one.
Yup. Google are doing everything they can to ensure their future. They know this.
It sounds like a much easier solution for EC2 instances.
However it's limited to AWS - hosted apps, if I'm not mistaken?
What I actually find more problematic is that you traditionally put your marriage status in your CV in Germany.

If you haven't married your partner but have children together, they might think you are a single parent. If you are married, they worry that you might get kids and take parental leave (which is by law quite generous in Germany compared to other countries). And so on. I personally leave that out now.

Lots of other non-GPL FOSS projects suffer a similar situation. Here in Brazil, the Lua creators having a hard time finding out who is using the language as the license permits people to pick it up, patch, distribute without ever saying "hi!". They are always quite happy when they learn about usage in the enterprise, entertaiment and other cool uses.

Companies using such projects should be more courteous, if only to encourage more of such licenses...

This really doesn't mean anything to me without a citation. Wikipedia led me to this [1] article, that states "Nearly half of the homeless money, $81.5 million, goes for rent subsidies and programs to assist the 6,355 people living in "permanent supportive housing" - long the cornerstone of the city's program for helping the down and out.".

I'm not sure if the 6,355 in the supportive housing contributes to the 7000 "homeless" statistic, but dollar spent per homeless person seems like a measurement that's at best misleading and at worst a propaganda soundbyte.

This is like saying North America and Europe don't have freedom because you're not free to kill/abuse/take advantage of the others however you like. Freedom doesn't work like that.

The GPL restrictions are for keeping the freedom equal for all parties involved.
The minimum wage argument assumes that corporations choose whether to hire based on an evaluation of the productivity of a worker. In reality, nearly all companies choose a wage by simply looking at their neighbors.
