If they had just said every device needs a repair manual and spare parts available, that would be much more reasonable.
I'm really interested in migrating some of our own systems/services to k8s and I'd love if you could elaborate a bit. How do IAM resouces or VPC subnets etc map to k8s concepts?
Jesus associates with “bad” people is a gross simplification. Rejects is a better term.

Jesus teaches two points. One that “bad” people are bad because they are rejects.

Two. You must repent. He never tells an adulterer, tax collector or prostitute “live and let live”. He orders them to sin no more.

The ones thrashed in hell (and he’s graphic here) are the ones who don’t repent on time.
The doctor in the video said fish skin is good for healing burns because it's very similar to human skin. Is the mechanism leaching nutrients or entire layers of tissue from the fish skin to your skin? As in, replacing your skin with fish skin?

Yeah, I had most of my family killed in Holocaust and I still think that if a Jewish person would be hating on a random German person (like what happened to German colony in Haifa right about this time) is still racism.

We're so hardly conditioned to believe that "racism is wrong" that when we see instances of racism that actually make sense, we instinctively want to name it something else.
The work of finding exploits to these algorithms probably requires less talent than the work of researching and implementing them.
The price of a single bot is amortized across thousands upon thousands of follows. If it costs a penny to have one bot issue one follow, and a single bot performs 5,000 follows, then that bot has earned $50. If Twitter were to buy follows for the market rate (one penny) then ban those accounts, it would drive the market rate for bots up to (using our hypothetical example) $50 per follow. (This is an oversimplified example, of course, but reducing the average number of follows that a given bot can perform would indeed have the effect of raising the market rate, though we can continue to argue over the magnitude; it's self-evident that if generating bots didn't have fixed cost overheads, then we'd see fewer bots with incredulously inhuman numbers of followed accounts.)
Exactly. The fact that Zurich came closest to making the math work out should tell you something....

When you don't spend 100% of your income on getting by, marginal increases in both pay and living costs favor you, so long as they are remotely balanced.

All relevant parties in FB, twitter, Yelp, TA are very much aware of fake accounts, fake review, and any other bot-related traffic. Yes, they do have teams dedicated only for that. So the real question should be - what actions are being taken to counteract social bots. This is not something any company would want to go public about. So basically - we don't know.
The social media platforms are not 'struggling to respond.' They have ignored the issue almost completely because it inflates their metrics and enables them to over-bill advertisers. This in turn corrodes the trust that people have in the web in general.

The prevalence of bots really puts stress on the whole idea that pageviews on free websites are the same thing as subscribers to paid services. It is very simple to mass manufacture fake views and fake users on free services. It is not so simple to massively fabricate metrics around paying users.
You're missing the forest for the trees. I don't care if you like or dislike Christian morality. The Norse themselves had their own moral standards (nine virtues, as I mention). If you were courageous, for example, you were "good" -- if you were a coward, you were "bad." That standard (the good/evil dichotomy) has always existed -- but don't take my word for it, read Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil.
He also comes across as a fairly bad father (his kids rape, murder, and commit treason). That goes all the way back to taking multiple wives against explicit instructions. 1 Chronicles 21 describes David as being responsible for the death of 70,000 of his people.
Great point. Reminds of a very good book. If you haven’t read “Good strategy, bad strategy” by R. rumpelt, you definitely should:

Out of the myriad shifts and adjustments that occur each year, some are clues to the presence of a substantial wave of change and, once assembled into a pattern, point to the fundamental forces at work. The evidence lies in plain sight, waiting for you to read its deeper meanings.

Here in socialized Europe it will be very beneficial. Our health system focuses on solving problems, not selling us stuff. So this will be another great tool assisting with making us aware of what options we have in improving health outcomes.
It's pretty good that this kind of open secret gets coverage in the mainstream media, but it's disappointing that this article contents itself with a bit of celebrity shaming and only hammering on Twitter, probably because they're a bit more transparent (technically speaking) and easier to take down.

Other networks (i.e. Facebook/Instagram) are probably just as bad, and if so they are generating untold amount of ad revenue based on fake traffic and accounts.

What I'm saying is that there really is a little proof that the vaccine this year is even working. Would any other drug ESTIMATED to be only 10% effective be approved by the FDA?
Context matters. I regret time I spent when younger playing alone, but some of my happiest memories involve endless games of Doom II, DN3D, and Quake on the network my friends and I built in our dorms. A bunch of us around each computer, chatting, cheering, jeering, and just plain waiting for a go.

Context is everything.

Nope. You’re confusing “antagonist” with “bad guy”. I’m fact, much of your confusion, and the confusion in the other comments, stems from conflating “protagonist” and “antagonist” with “hero” and “villain”.

Beowulf is a tale of a brave warrior vanquishing monsters, not a struggle of good and evil, anymore than a story about someone hunting a wolf described as “monstrous” or “evil” is a moral tale.

It’s similar to what the author points out about the Arthurian stories. The original French tales were about brave knights fighting beasts and monsters to display their strength and bravery. It was only later versions that transformed them into moral paragons fighting representations of human weaknesses and evils.

I also note you conspicuously forgot the Odyssey in your response.
I was disappointed that "commuting" was not on the list, because it's up there for me.
I have very little hope for this succeeding, although I hope it does.

I say this because this problem is vastly more complicated than people believe for the following reasons:

* A substantial amount of data about patients is encapsulated in clinical notes which are free text. There is no standard format for notes; notes wildly vary in terms of quality, detail, and accuracy; and notes are full of non-standard abbreviations and clinical shorthand.

* A large amount of the data in an EHR is incomplete or incorrect. Information may be out of date or recorded incorrectly. Patient medication lists are a great example of this, and they frequently cannot be trusted by physicians even during the course of a single hospital stay (medications are started or discontinued without being properly recorded). Then there is the issue of non-adherence: patients frequently claim to be adherent to treatment regimens that they are not actually adherent to which is going to distort outcome data. In fact, the majority of people are non-adherent for many different treatment regimens. More generally, diagnoses may have been incorrectly determined and data may be incorrectly labeled or missing.

* Data exists all over the place even within an EHR, let alone across facilities. I myself have been to at least 5-10 hospitals and more outpatient clinics over my life, none of whom share data with each other. No one entity has all the relevant data about a patient, including insurers, specific care teams, or the hospital systems they got this data from.

* Data placed into a EHR may be intentionally falsified for simplicity or to get insurance coverage. It is not uncommon for physicians to intentionally misdiagnose a patient so their insurance will cover a diagnostic / treatment / procedure, or to input a less specific diagnostic code to save time when a more specific one is available.

Trying to train with data sets this fucked up is an enormous challenge.

Since the "How Do I Learn AI/ML" question pops up on Hacker News once a month (most recent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16138353), here's my comments:

Yes, Al/ML MOOCs teach the corresponding tools well, and the creation of new tools like Keras make the field much more accessable. The obsolete gatekeeping by the AI/ML elites who say "you can't use AI/ML unless you have a PhD/5 years research experience" is one of the things I really hate about the industry.

However, contrary to the thought pieces that tend to pop up, taking and passing a MOOC doesn't mean you'll be an expert in the field (and this applies for most MOOCs, honestly). They're very good for learning an overview of the technology, but nothing beats appling the tools on a real-world, noisy dataset, and solving the inevitable little problems that crop up during the process.

Reviewing the Keras documentation (https://keras.io) and examples (https://github.com/keras-team/keras/tree/master/examples) are honestly much better teachers of AI/ML than any MOOC, in my opinion.
> At the embassy, all equipment had to be carried up to the attic by hand, as the Russians had shut down the elevator after the first day of the arrival of the equipment, for 'preventive maintenance'.

I'm really curious about the elevator part. Did the US lease the space from the soviets or something? I would have assumed we owned the building.
I think ethnicity is overrated for these purposes and familiarity is much more important. This is key to the motivation of soldiers and military training - fighting for the person beside you - but we've lost it in day to day life. For how this applies to the rural crowd, we distrust those we don't interact with daily and demographics and history let that easily be turned into racial or religious hatred, but I think the arrow of causality is reversed.

To draw a comparison to another area of debate: religion doesn't create terrorists, religion is something that is used by terrorist leaders as a tool to keep their followers focused and in line. Racism isn't more inherent than terrorism, it's taught by those using it as a weapon. One that only works if you don't know a sufficient set of such people well enough to immediately call bullshit. Who we would call evil, but of course might be perfectly nice people in person to the people they know, with internal justifications for the evil they do, and that's where all our arguments and politics currently break down: the point where me shouting "stop listening to your evil racist pastor" isn't going to get through easily to someone who interacts with that pastor weekly, often in charity situations, and sees the good side much more than the evil side.

(You could also describe this as "everybody has an evil side" instead of "everybody has a good side." Terry Pratchett talks about this a lot in his novels, in a balanced sense in terms of the capacity for unbounded grace or for unbounded malice, often from the same person. But I lean a bit pessimistic, so I like how he has one of his characters put it: “I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.”)

I don't think anyone is claiming that "the ancient Greek world was devoid of morality". Only that it lacked an embodiment of evil as an antagonist.

I wish more doctors would look things up or use computers to help diagnose. Relying on their personal memory and experience alone seems outdated and less effective.

Combine that experience with some good reference, research and consultation with lots of other doctors and you would have a much better outcome overall.
Investigations graphics editor here — as it happens a lot of the tools we use are open source! The interactive components were all built with Svelte (https://svelte.technology) and Rollup (https://rollupjs.org/guide/en).

Yeah The Beatles were one of those bands where their songs are so personal that many of their lyrics only make sense to them and may as well be total nonsense to everyone else. I fully believe they're as popular as they are partly because everyone who listens is trying to find their decoded meaning.
The Trojans. They stole Menelaus's wife. They weren't the opposite, but were certainly (to any Greek hearing the tale) the bad guys.

Certainly the Greeks wanted to paint them as strong warriors, just as any sports team when they win will say how good of fight the opponent put up.

Illiad is very much good vs evil. That's not the totality of the story, but it's there.
It's interesting that of the many friends I have who started companies (10 - 12), only two of them didn't receive funding. Both businesses built from scratch and now have a revenue somewhere in the neighborhood of $1m a year after two years. That's honestly pretty good IMO.

The other eight or so friends who started companies accepted some form of money. Of those, only two are still in existance. The survival rate of the other guys are 2/2, the survival rate of the funded startups to-date is 2/(8-10) or <25%.

I think part of that is simple because the people who didn't have funding didn't have a choice. It was survive or die.

It reminds me of probably the wisest words I've read regarding startups:

> Startups rarely die in mid keystroke. So keep typing!

- How Not to Die by Paul Graham[1]

The point is, focusing on something practical that doesn't need funding is like the easiest way to succeed and also find real problems. I've accidentially stumbled on solutions to problems other people have had and often those are the greatest little apps that can make you a steady income.

Only some of the damage repair methods require gene therapy, and in the case of allotopic expression to work around mitochondrial damage that is already demonstrated in human trials by Gensight.

You should look over the linked sub-pages here for an overview of the types of damage and approaches to repair.

I'd be more concerned about stem cell replacement therapies and lipofuscin removal as categories than anything requiring gene therapy, since in both cases there are a lot of targets and a lot of work to do.

For things like senescent cells and glucosepane cross-links, small molecule therapies will work (and already exist in the former case). In fact all targeted cell killing and specific molecule breakdown needs can probably be addressed sufficiently well via pharmaceuticals for a first generation effort.
The veracity of any analyses is directly correlated to the quality of the input. I have no doubt that Google's methods are state of the art. My concern is with the input those methods were fed. Sample size needs to be much, much larger on a patient population basis.
I think that’s a fair point, but this is the first society in which the people you are most familiar with aren’t necessarily in your ethnic group (though even in the US it’s not so much the case).
I think this no longer happens. Amazon seems to have implemented an algorithm that suspends listings whose price is too far out of range. Even by a hundred or so dollars in some cases.
They are kind of described as out-of-control biological weapons the Children of the Forest used against the First Men. So it's possible they are more like a weapon of mass destruction (zombie virus) unleashed for complex reasons (war, survival) and less like a people.
If you treat the generally accepted Gospels as, well, gospel, then sure. But these are literary and ethical works, too, and that hangs on an "at the end" that is neither justified textually nor earned ethically. The god of the Abrahamic faiths has, what with the "omnipotent" label and all, no need to allow evil to exist, or to exist, at any point. Yet an omnipotent god can't make a burrito so hot that they can't eat it. So it goes with evil; the power to end evil must be circumscribed or there's no goddamn point to any of it.

"Well, we're gonna just wrap this up now but we could have at any point" is nutty; the only reasonable explanation that I've ever seen come down the pike--unless you invite ones that make the Abrahamic deity a real shithead, and I can't stop you from that--is that there is a can't somewhere in that causal chain, even if the authors who dreamed it up didn't want to circumscribe the powers of their deity.
The first movie ends with them blowing up the big bad superweapon. The trilogy ends with the death of the leader of the bad guys and blowing up their replacement superweapon.

You may have identified with a particular characters arc and interpreted it in a specific way, but I think it's fairly clear the movie itself and the main story it tells (with multiple main characters) is clearly a good vs evil story.
Seems like buying this first round of "clean" silicon would be a bad idea since it's guaranteed to be a rushed architecture. Just hard to believe that corners won't be cut at some level to get this release out.
Technically, Yahweh allowed Satan to test Job as part of a bet that Job was only faithful because Yahweh treated him so well.
I'm not sure there IS an alternative. Ultimately, knowing where you are is in comparison to some known location (even inertial navigation is based on knowing a starting location and tracking movement away from that). GPS "just" provides a set of globally-visible waypoints rather than having to map those that are only locally-visible ahead of time.

In theory, I suppose you could use the movement of astronomical bodies to do the same, but making a portable device that can automatically detect (without necessarily LoS the sky) the relative positions of sufficient markers seems like a tough ask.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant, thanks.
Garden of Eden? At no point is that good versus evil, is it? They disobey and are cast out.

Job? Everything done to him is with God's will. If anything, this would sway the other way. Good literally willed the killing of his family, and he accepts that.

More to the point, where are the bad guys? There is a general sense of good, but evil is less present than "not good."
I listen to podcasts or audiobooks while commuting, and I figure it's roughly equivalent to sitting on my couch reading. I commute 40-60 minutes daily, so it's pretty easy to get through long works that way.

I’m not the above poster, but I did babysit for several families in my grad school years a few years ago. The parents would not generally communicate with me when they were out. If they did, it would be to let me know they’d be early or late, and suggestions for food or activity if they were late. There wasn’t a routine check to make sure their kids were alive & well.

I agree. It's like we are in the big tobacco phase where everyone is saying it's normal and healthy. To say otherwise is considered prudish and sexually repressive.

Super easy to solve: identify likely bots, suspend account, and let owner do something trivial that only a human can do. False positives solved but the cost of maintaining large amounts of bots are prohibitive. Also, high-profile non-bot acounts should be trivial to identify with near certainty.
I know what you mean and my frustation goes beyond that. All my servers and many tools are all Linux based, but my desktop dev environment haven't change in years (even when I hop from LTS to LTS). It's mostly abstracted with my own GUI code so when people start fucking with the underlying and regular components I can just do a quick fix on my side. When I'm customizing my Linux desktop (CLI aside) I feel like I'm wasting my time just to make things work, not have a prehistorical workflow and minimize the GUI toolkit hell. Ironically, on Windows I feel like an actual power user when I'm making scripts and automating workflows. Not sure why, it's just how I feel.

Maybe the annoyances are from the lack of a core desktop experience/"interface" (not talking about GUI) that feels familiar (especially for new users). I bet it also scares developers from other platforms and commercial initiatives. I'm all in for freedom but a "default stack" is desperately needed.
> Garden of Eden? At no point is that good versus evil, is it?

It's about eating the forbidden fruit which would give them knowledge of good and evil, similar to Pandora's box. Why the snake was in the garden and allowed to tempt them is not specified in the story.
Again, I didn't contradict that. I merely commented that the strength and interesting part of the story was elsewhere. Apologies if it read like I was denying the rest of the story. I do feel it would be stronger without those elements, but I do not deny they are there.
