As far as I know there is no scientific certainty that CRISPR does not produce off-target mutations. Therefore to use the word "indistinguishable" here seems quite dishonest.

Because of this fact I get the feeling like we are being sold a marketing trick. If the gene editing procedure can produce off-target mutations, then it is not indistinguishable, and to say otherwise is misleading.

This is really about who's responsible if someone else uses your card. The point of chip-and-pin was to shift responsibility for card security to you. If your card is used in a chip-and-pin scenario it must be your fault for not keeping the pin secure. Nearly every chip-and-pin device has a CCTV camera pointed at it, so it's impossible for you to avoid someone seeing your pin.
In the UK cards still have a signature strip on the back and if a merchant notices you haven't signed your card they legally have to refuse to accept it.

I rarely remember to sign my cards and this tripped me up one time last year when trying to return something to a store which I'd bought online with my credit card.

I had to leave the store, buy a pen, sign the card and re-enter the store.

And of course, everything is relative. German trains are fairly punctual (although there is this famous saying, "the German railway has four enemies: spring, summer, autumn and winter"), but Swiss trains are even more punctual. Not sure if it's true, but I've been told that when the trains depart at Zurich Central at the top of the hour, the power frequency graph makes a small dent because of all the train engines drawing power at the same time.
According to their FAQ, "WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read what is sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp ... End-to-end encryption is always activated, provided all parties are using the latest version of WhatsApp. There is no way to turn off end-to-end encryption."
RSS will never die, as long as podcasts are using it (and podcasting IS booming around the world right now). Many thought it dead even in the podcasting world, yet there is no viable alternative and there won't be in the next few years. A bit of a Javascript-y situation.
Yes, I think it was way earlier than 2006. In France, every card in 1995 had chip and pin.

I think for Google to be able to claim their search result are journalistic is a little like them having the cake and eating it. They are already claiming they are not responsible for the content they are distributing (because fake news and all...), but they also claim that that content should be protected.
It's commonly optimized out, yes. Rule of thumb is typically to pass pointers to a struct if it gets fairly large and complex. Even then, you should really profile to see that the becomes a bottleneck, compilers inline aggressively and a pointer might defeat some other optimizations down the call chain.
I do not think there should be any issues since PostgreSQL already handles invalidation of plans for when indexes and tables change. Adding JIT does not add any new hazard here.
Crossrail is underground through London.
The Overground uses existing rail infrastructure just under direct TFL management so isn't really new. There are a few new sections but they exist only to join up two lines.
DLR is possibly the only real example of new overground trains and partly that is because it follows existing rail lines for quite a distance.

While I completely agree with you about Wikileaks, and I do like the Guardian's reporting in general, (some of, depending on what and how you count) this tracking is a fact, and it's worth pointing out. On this particular issue, the Guardian is weaker than it could and should be. Especially because it keeps asking you (in a friendly and absoutely tolerable way!) for paid subscriptions. Would they keep tracking me if I paid? I'm fairly sure they would. In which case, meh.

If we could only get them to work with microwave makers (or recently inductive "portable" single heating plates) in the US/Europe. New microwaves are IMHO the worst, why does every microwave seem to have a different UX?

The finished repeated triple-beeps are the jarring cherry on top.
Good point. For me it's not an issue as I barely use OSX any more.

The fact is that not all "why"s are known in cooking yet, and the combination of ingredients is so varied that it's not always easy to go from a myth to a reasonable explanation.

Although, lots of research has greatly improved, and I warmly recommend you to read “Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking” (2011).

Then, for techniques, I strongly recommend following a book designed for chefs when they learn. For example, in French, I recommend “La Cuisine de Référence” (2015) by Michel Maincent that teaches you how to select ingredients, cut them, to various traditional techniques and how to correct them if you fail, and why you failed.
Many sites offer both because common libraries and tools support both so it's easy. I don't think I've seen a reader that only supports one of the formats. IIRC from way back when, atom has a few more features but also some problems, but in the end, it doesn't really matter.
I was underwhelmed by "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat". Good information, great presentation, but not up there with the very best books, IMO.

I like Ruhlman's "Twenty", maybe followed by "Ratio".

"How to Cook without a Book" by Anderson is great, although you probably needwhole rooms in your house for food storage if you took her "what you should have in your pantry" serious.

My most used cookbook is the one my mother gave me and all my relatives when we were living alone for the first time. It's the book she uses at school. It's for special-needs children, so extremely basic and easy, with many, many quirky illustrations.

But it has everything important. Bechamel? Sure. Choux pastry? Yes. But also how to cook potatoes or eggs.

The only infuriating thing in this book is that the index is worse than useless. I know the important recipes' page numbers by heart.

But he remains on another list, about which he had not been previously informed, this one prohibiting him from applying for credit cards. The court has told Mr. Li to write another apology.

If a city invests heavily in a bike network instead of a rail system, what happens on rainy days? I imagine that most people would be reluctant to bike to work through rain, and would thus try to fall back to car or rail, thus drastically overloading those modes.

A List of Chrome DevTools Tips and Tricks
Creating to-do lists (whether on paper or in an app) and checking things off of it helps me a ton, especially when I'm feeling the start of an episode.

Depression at its core, for me, has a feeling of a lack of control and helplessness over a situation--whether it's a real situation or a perceived one by my mind. By having a list and being able to do things on it, I gain a feeling of control that is out of my head and can be proved because I checked it off, marking it done.

A general item, for example, in the to-do list templates I have when I'm feeling the start of my episode is "Brushing My Teeth." It's horrendously mundane, but it's actionable, simple, and also necessary (to me). It might be a small thing, but getting that crossed off shows me, "Hey, I did something, I do have some control over my situation right now."

Maybe the opposite of why users are pushing for RSS, but without analytics content producers have reasonable justification for being hostile instead.
It seems to me that the parallels between VR and 3D cinema are pretty striking. Both technologies that had an original heyday decades ago, but both ran out of steam. Then in the past decade or so they both got resurrected, largely on the promise that _if they worked well_ they'd be super cool, and lots of big companies really invested in them on that premise. But the sad truth is, they don't work all that well, and the actual experience of them is (almost) always a little disappointing. So eventually, even the huge hype generated by the big companies isn't enough to sustain them, and they sink back into obscurity... until the next time someone remembers the dream but forgets the reality.

Are you claiming that there was starvation in the 19th C depressions, England / USA? This would be news historians.

Besides differences in government response, the other big difference was that employment had become more secure, more long-term, more Henry Ford and less Charles Dickens. You could indeed argue that this made it more serious. Compare a 20% drop in employment which meant 4 days a week for everyone (because they were all casual, factory or farm) vs 1/5 of workers (who thought they had jobs for life) being unemployed for years.

All the modern SEO-heavy links lend themselves to modification. You can give someone the URL https://www.amazon.com/fnord/dp/0440539811 and he may say "oh, I've read that, fine book" and won't have noticed anything peculiar about the URL.

I suggest reading the current wisdom from Dr. Les Dethlefson, human microbiota researcher at Stanford's Relman lab [0].

That's exactly what I did too. And yes, this was when visiting the UK. I had no idea the strip on the back of the card was for comparison, never seen it used elsewhere. Would be interesting to hear the person who thought that the signature-comparison thing was a good idea explain how they were thinking.

My point is that it's unclear whether the effect the medication has on the gut microbiome is harmful, beneficial or neutral.
True, but at least it narrows down the area. In some cases it might prompt the company to rephrase a specific question that proves to be too vague (if it gathers a large percentage of "kind of" responses). No such chance with a star system.
It's amazing that in 2018 we keep building new CMSs. Human curiosity is without limits. I'm genuinely amazed about this. And seeing a CMS built with Go is refreshing.

I have to say though, the "What doesn't it do?" section seems like an extension of the "What does it do?" section. A "What doesn't it do?" should list what the CMS actually doesn't do instead of listing things nobody wants anyway. Who wants "hundreds of complicated back-end screens"? No-one. So no need to say that the CMS doesn't do that.
I'd love to find these, as I'm in Japan and the only ATMs I've used angrily yell at me with a loud "ERRR ERRR ERRR" sound.

That could be emphasized. "Set of libraries by which devs can quickly create robust and performant CMS providing a UI that content editors love to use."
Instead of `it` for one, and `this` and `that` for two, use `este`, `ese` and `aquel` for three (from the 3-tier pronoun system in Spanish).

Please don't ask what if there's four. Very few (if any) natural languages have more than 3 tiers of demontrative pronouns, so computer languages shouldn't -- if they're using ideas natural language to be more readable. They would use identifiers or numeric subscripts instead.

From my experience, the amount of vinegar required to see an actual difference is enough to change the flavor of the eggs. Try creating a vortex in your water and placing the egg inside [1] (although they still use a "drop of vinegar')

DK never even had credit card signatures. Our systems support it for foreigners, but I was so confused the first time I saw that.

Everyone uses NFC credit cards now (and if the amount is over ~$40 or a daily limit has been reached, with pin).

For us, chip and pin is basically deprecated, and no one has used magnetic strips in a decade.

If the major browsers were better at giving the user a way to use and maintain a whitelist of which web sites are allowed to run JS, maybe the websites become less JS-heavy.

I generally prefer MDI applications to having separate desktop windows for everything.

I currently use SpaceFM, which isn't quite MDI (it only supports 1 to 4 active frames which are tiled automatically), but combined with tabs per frame makes it really practical. It also remembers all of your open frames and tabs between sessions, and supports different view styles per frame. For some aspects, the configuration is per layout. So you have 1-4 frames, which makes for 15 possible layout options (as it doesn't support 0 frames).

It's odd that people simultaneously claim to not like MDI, but at the same time prefer to use stacking window managers and are generally averse to tiling window managers.
Reasonably protecting user data and complying with the GDPR are two entirely different things. There are many ways to accidentally run afoul of this law while still protecting user data.
I wish people would talk about this more. I am of the belief that if a single command can lead to a failure like this, you can’t simply plan on that accident not reoccurring. You should basically assume that it will reoccur.

Ideally, I think databases should integrate checks such as these. For example, how often does a production users table need to be truncated intentionally? Even by superusers? Usually very, very, rarely. So imagine if the database made you jump hoops before you could do that. People rely on permissions for this sort of thing but given how complicated permissions can become as the team and the database grows, it’s not hard to screw up the permissions and access control. I believe catching this kind of doomsday scenario is best when built in deeply at a very low level.
A "more holistic approach" doesn't necessarily mean "naturopathic medicine" or not seeking proper medical care.
Please stop claiming that RSS died, it didn't. Most of the new sites and blogs i come across usually have an RSS feed buried somewhere, so a more apt metaphor would be that it was buried alive, it didn't die.

Visual C++ 6 was certainly MDI, but i'm not sure about the rest. I think i have 2008 Express Edition stored somewhere but... i feel a bit lazy to install it to check it out :-P. 2010 and later was only tabbed though.

But, FWIW, yes, i agree with you that the resizable child windows is what defines the MDI and tabs are orthogonal to that.
Writing clean C loops are a good way of writing vectorized code.

Checking the vectorization report of icc 2018 for fprop() shows that the loops got inlined, unrolled and vectorized (with AVX512 and AVX2 instructions using XMM/YMM registers). I doubt that doing it by hand would be faster, but it would make the code a lot more complex.

You have a point on the parallelization part though, it can be cleanly parallelized with a few OpenMP Pragmas.
