Here's my view on this:

This doesn't test the full gene sequence, only a few SNPs. Say someone does the test, and it comes back positive. They then call all their relatives. Those relatives have the choice of getting the same test done with 23andMe, or seeing their doctor. Usually proper BRCA gene tests are only reimbursed under certain circumstances, so mostly the relative will have to pay at least $500 to get tested properly. Most of them will just go to 23andMe. The growth in testing because of this effect is going to be significant. All the hard work of doing this kind of testing eg counselling, detailed family pedigrees, contacting family members, discussion of pros/cons of testing etc is being put back onto the individual and their healthcare providers. Good for 23andMe I guess, especially since their value seems tied to how much data they have. Whether this is net beneficial to society I'm not so sure.
binfmt_misc has existed for a much longer time than systemd (it was originally added in 1997[1]). It has been used for many features like emulating binaries "natively" by setting up binfmt_misc so that binaries are executed inside QEMU if the architecture is different. It has had many other similar uses for decades.

I'm not a fan of systemd in the slightest, but blaming systemd for an in-kernel facility that has existed since the mid-90s (and isn't even used by systemd to my knowledge) doesn't make any sense.

Uniquely filled with homeless and skyrocketing rents because there's not enough housing? Uniquely stuck in traffic because there's not enough metro lines? Unique that there's few walkable areas like the lovely cities in Europe?

No LA currently is the worst of both worlds, an unwalkable, undrivable suburb as far as the eye can see. The best thing that could happen to it is to become a real city.
Our chocolate chip cookies were like this. Toll House recipe, except: 1/2 white flour, 1/2 wheat flour; 1/2 butter, 1/2 shortening; double vanilla; extra chopped pecans. Although probably a big unmentioned determinant of quality is ensuring the cookies are consistently the right size relative to cooking time and temperature, which is difficult to describe; IIRC the bag just says "spoonfuls of dough".
Note that I conditioned the advice with "if you want to buy this Coinbase index fund." The fund only has those 4 coins.
a few stereotypical assumptions which shocked me only because I'm guilty in most points. Reflecting how the career choice influenced my routines, life and directly my marriage it's clear to me, that being with somebody who understands what you're doing (or at least is interested in it enough to get to a level where you can have a basic conversation about "how my day went") makes things much easier in a relationship.

Over the years (and a marriage later) I learned to have hobbies outside software engineering. This me helped to a) expand my social circle, b) have conversations about other things than my job/software c) get less lost in the technical details and learn to step away, resulting in d) better code and engineering skills.
Not sure where that stat comes from but I suspect that median value would include rent controlled apartments. My 1908 era 6 unit apartment building on the edge of the mission is about $3900 for a 2 bedroom place which is 3 empty rooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. I do like the location but I can hear the upstairs neighbors drop a fork and it wobbles whenever a bart train goes underneath.
Organizational Design: Why You Should Not Have a President and COO
Another 'vira-lata' here. Thinking about braziL causes me nausea. Hope that 'country' be better but I really doubt.
I can do them one better: my family has a meta-secret recipe. It didn't used to be secret, but it became secret through no effort or intent of our own.

For a long time, decades at this point, my mom has been known for the brownies she brings to events (and, by extension, that my sister and I bring to events). People would rave about them and demand the secret, which my mom, my sister, and I would all freely give out: it's from a box, Betty Crocker, make sure you get the "Supreme" kind and don't overbake it. That's it.

But. But! A while ago, maybe 3-4 years at this point, my mom noticed that the brownie box had changed. She had a stockpile (being known for the brownies, you see) but tried the new box before exhausting the stockpile. And it was not the same. The new recipe had different amounts of every ingredient and it just did not come out right. At all. She called the company to complain and actually managed to escalate the call far enough to get someone to admit a dark truth: the recipe on their end for the mix hadn't changed, but for various reasons to do with what they wanted to put on the "Nutrition Facts", they had changed the instructions of how to prepare them and the amount of the mix that was in each box.

My mom, not leaving this to chance, did a little bit of kitchen science and verified that what came out of the old box (from the stockpile, following the recipe) was either identical or a very close match to what came out of the new box (but following the old recipe), albeit a little inconvenient as you now needed roughly 1.25 boxes' worth of mix to make one batch of brownies. But this was but a minor hurdle for the truly devoted; and it meant that we now had, wait for it, a bona fide secret family recipe. The easiest one ever, since it still involved just making brownies from a box. (And keeping a jar of "remainder brownie mix" for use in the next batch.)

The epilogue to the story is that although the good recipe had been stable for a really long time, we were evidently not the only ones to notice a problem with the new one, because the box recipe has changed on several occasions since then—each time, as far as we can tell, without changing the blend in the underlying mix (because if we follow our Secret Recipe it still turns out fine). Really, I'm just waiting for them to throw up their hands, give up, and return to the original recipe, which would sort of deprive my family of a good story, but everybody would get better brownies so it's a win overall. :)
Ask HN: What are the applications of smart contracts?

Their "main goal" is self-promotion, same as the material they put down. Which they need, the way dung beetles need dung.
More importantly, if you force them to read boring, badly written books for more than a decade, crushing any enjoyment out of the experience of reading, they aren't going to take much interest in reading afterwards. JK Rowling, and gulp Stephenie Meyer, have probably done more for western literacy single-handedly than millions of elementary English teachers accomplished.

My folks were more in the Tom Clancy, Louis L'Amour and Stephen King era of pulps, but without those lifelines of more engaging content during the wasteland years of dreck that was pushed 3rd-10th grade...

I feel I'm in an interesting scenario in that both of my parents have done 23andme, but I have all the concerns you have.

You're not just making this choice for yourself, you're making it (to some degree) for everyone you are or will ever be related to. That has profound implications that people aren't entirely considering when they spend the $50 (or whatever) and spit in a cup.
Watch out for the founding story narrative here, even Zuckerberg himself would tell you, he didn't initially set out to build Facebook, the megacorp. He just put one foot in front of the other. The fact that he got serious traction and it led to ever greater potential is what inspired the grand vision.

By the time Yahoo made their offer in 2008, Facebook was already the biggest social network that had ever existed with an incredible growth curve. At that point it's not just some naive pie-in-the-sky dream, it's a calculated risk.

This is very different from the thousands of wannabes that paint this grand vision in order to attract naive young talent. That's what DHH & co bristle against—the mythology of SV perpetuated by VCs to get the best and brightest to work 16-hour days to increase their wealth for a risk-adjusted return way below what they could get at a normal job.

Personally with a couple decades of experience under my belt it's hard not to be a little cynical about the whole dog and pony show. I got into this because I liked to build things on computers, not because of some founder's charisma or promises of riches.
Sales is a lot harder outside the valley too. We sell enterprise sales data + tooling. sfbay has by far the largest density of sales leadership for the type of b2b companies we target. So there's a huge advantage to that.

Also, our angel was largely on the basis of personal relationships. Plus our lawyer pointed out that, even now, comfort with SAFEs is a pretty bay area phenomenon. So if you're trying to raise an angel, how many people in the midwest are comfortable writing a $15-$30k check on an unpriced note with a reasonable (phone call ceo, deck, phone call all founders) basis?

How much of that could actually be cut? Even if you cut all the public relations type performances there's still some things you can't cut (even if you don't send buglers to funerals any more, you still need someone to show up and hit play on a boombox).

Members of the military bands also do regular military stuff- I talked to a member of one of the Marine Corps bands that split his time in Iraq about 50/50 between holding his trumpet and his rifle (escorting supply convoys).
The only thing this way of thinking accomplishes, is insecure and depressed parents. You read to your child every day, but some books have only one character in them? Shame on you!

Children also need parents that are confident in their parenting skills. Parenting is something you do 100% of the time. Being insecure because of a constant barrage of scientific studies micro-correcting your skills will harm your child’s upbringing.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. Don’t judge parents who read every day, but maybe not the scientifically perfect book. Judge the parent that never reads at all.

It doesn't need to be in the ToS. In the US your information has no legal protection, with a handful of exceptions like medical information. You should assume any information you give to any company is being shared, sold, and utilized to the fullest extent to monetize you.

Something many do not consider especially in today's era of social media and AI capable of scraping any tidbit of information you reveal about yourself. As an example, this [1] is an extremely primitive tool that generates a profile of Reddit users based on nothing but what they've publicly submitted. The profiles the companies people 'trust' with their information today are going to be orders of magnitude more detailed, and accurate.

Isn't the virtual distribution shelf for investment funds already a pretty established thing? When I log into my online bank there is an online market place for funds, allowing you to place money in funds with maximum trust and minimum effort. How would Amazon improve on this?

(That said, I like the idea of always selecting the top 1% of fund customers and allowing them to offer their own funds)
What's the best option for PCB CAD on Mac?

Last time I checked, the most popular options didn't even support HiDPI mode. E.g. KiCAD on Mac feels very "out of place", e.g. two fingers control zooming instead of scrolling (panning), not to mention other usability issues / general unpolishness.

I've tried https://circuits.io (Autodesk Circuits web app) and it's surprisingly good (for a beginner, at least).
Just because a language is single threaded in the code you write doesn't mean it doesn't use threads behind the scenes, like for GC or other things.
This is the list of my ideas:

* A multiplayer online mobile game where the player who clicks more on the screen in 2min wins

* An app so drivers notice you when there is no lights in the streets(happens in my country) by changing screen color and blinking the flashlight

* A website to search youtube videos by subtitles(useful for those mixing music with words said by people): see barakdubs on youtube

* A website to learn **speaking** english and practicing pronunciation using parts of youtube videos where some words are being said

* Curated lists websites maker such as: startupstash

* Sharekit.io for pictures instead of links

* An app to tell you how white your teeth are and if you're doing a good job brushing(using one pic per week or something)

* An app to help those who have a lisp(talk funny) solve this speech issue

* An app that tell you how good your posture is and what postural problems you have from your pics

Wisconsin sells the personal information of 2.5M drivers for a mere $22k. If that emissions information is not reported to insurance companies, I'll eat my hat.
The size of Python objects is kind of shocking, yeah. I wonder how hard it'd be to at least get rid of the refcount. I like your idea of using slices. So, a new PyObject subtype that pretends to be a string but holds a couple of indices and a pointer to the 'real' string? I guess you could leave the latter implicit, hopefully.

There's a good chance I'll still be around in late May. See you then!

Agree. Statistics is pretty basic at it's linear algebra core as well. Add some optimization. You can study most of the theory in a year or two.

Or you could say that Amazon is highlighting the comparative lack of quality of branded goods. A Lacoste shirt is so easy to replicate at a fraction of the cost, that Amazon, by its very nature undermines the entire rationale for buying Lacoste.

Yeah that's true. For better or worse, designers try to make their mark by coming up with very distinctive designs that all too often throw affordance and usability out the window. Mobile UX is in a pretty bad place overall right now. Watching my parents struggle to do basic things on an iPad has been a good reality check for me in this regard.
You can look at any area in India and you would see these stories, because that is how Kings work.

How do you think Ashoka built his empire? Techniques weren't any different than what Aurangzeb used. Or what Romans used, or what the Persians used or what the Greeks used.

Wars work that way.

Also there is a reason why 'foreign culture' gets acceptance in any culture. If you deny education, commerce and other social opportunities to your masses for millenniums they are bound to be attracted to other cultures even if they are foreign. If anything they get a divorce for their unbearable current affairs. A foreign ruler comes across way more acceptable than the existing domestic ruler who doesn't let you study, doesn't let you participate in war, doesn't let you trade and large looks down on your as some sort of slave labor whose sole purpose is tax revenue. Easiest escape from these scenarios is to change your identity- Change language, religion, culture, residence etc.

If this is what troubles you, then the solution to this is not rewriting history, but pushing for equality and upliftment of those who have been suffering for thousands of years. And that of course involves dismantling social structures and privileges that have existed for all thousands of years.

Otherwise all this is just an exercise in futility. You can rewrite what you like, and if the conditions on the ground don't improve, people will toss out whatever their current identity is and just move on to whatever works for them. And don't blame them, its not exactly wrong to want to live a good life.
IIRC in law enforcement situations where a HDD has been obtained through slightly more conventional means, chain of custody is as important (as it is for all evidence) as ensuring the state is maintained. There are many forensic hardware providers that specifically sell 'read only' readers to ensure that whilst in possession of the drive, it's state is preserved (as much as practicably possible).
It bothers me that so few people mention the role of Proposition 13 and low property taxes for housing in all this. Proposition 13 makes it so that property taxes are fixed when you buy the house and only ever increase with inflation, whereas most other places make property tax rates proportional to the current market value of the home based on things like recent sale prices of other nearby homes. For example, in Toronto property taxes are set based on the assessed value of the property relative to the city average, and rates are set based on the municipal government’s budget and expenses.[1]

As a result, it’s costly for local municipal and county governments to zone for residential areas, because of the need for schools, parks, libraries, and other public services needed. If property taxes don’t balance out those needs, then zoning for commercial buildings instead ends up being far more attractive to local governments. The results: more office buildings, more jobs, but insufficient housing to support them.

Increasing property taxes is tricky because of the risk of further displacing long-term residents, or older residents, who have owned their homes for a long time. But in my view the impacts of property taxes on cost of living and the housing crisis are undeniable, and it’s unusual to me that so few people ever even _mention_ it in these discussions.

There are lots of ways, of course:

A. Going global: a lot of those "good retail brokers" are US-only. Sometimes it's dumb - I already have an ETrade account & signed all the paperwork including stuff relevant for my foreigner status... But ETrade will only let me trade my employer's stock, nothing else.

B. Bundle stuff that others can't match - e.g. Prime

C. One account, with good actual security (few appreciate that but some will)

D. Maybe new financial products that others can't match (I think Amazon is in a position where they might pull that off)

Jerry Brown has a 6.5 billion dollar surplus mostly from shafting the hell out of working californians. Then in LA they're working to remove the last of the affordable housing such that if you make less than 250k a year in income you can look at choosing between rent and food. What good is this huge surplus if we're running working people to suicide? They hit me aggressively for back taxes to the point where I wind up choosing between food and rent. How much better could I do as an engineer if I could eat healthy food and have a healthy place to live? How does it help in the long run to turn out working people into working homeless? How does it help when the most talented and capable are driven to choose between homelessness and suicide?
