How do you get from publicly financing drug R&D to everyone working on drug R&D must be a government employee?
Not just articles, but forums posts as well. I suspect the worst. But hope these authors are just "uninformed".

You could make a 4K image with your iPhone, but it will not nearly be anything like what this video shows. Please do look at the video. I thought it was pretty amazing the level of detail available and I don't even have a proper 4K screen (2560x1600), it is much better than any other video that attempted to do something like this and it is more about the LRO mission and the data it generated than about the output resolution of the video, with the note that generating output at a higher resolution would have been pointless so they did the best they could.

This is done using the Jet API programmatically from your Java application. Jet is meant to be used operationally with developed and deployed applications.

We can use HDFS as a source or a sink.
See https://github.com/hazelcast/hazelcast-jet-code-samples/blob... for a HDFS Wordcount example.

Jet jobs run in an isolated class loader, which is distributed to the cluster when the Job is started. You do this by adding classes/jars to JobConfig. See http://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/jet/0.6/manual/#practical- considerations for details.

I don't think their intent is to distance themselves from the term. Right there in the post, they're mentioning that the object-relational universe they're talking about is essentially a property graph. However, it doesn't seem like it's built to mirror a traditional graph database.
Interesting how someone like that most likely was the biggest cause of people looking for jobs in the first place. I know I would.

I agree. I don’t really know why it’s not considered a graph database. My understanding is that graph databases are about how relationships between data are represented, not that it’s schemaless.

Psychopaths feel very little emotions, particularly emotions around bonding with other people. They can get angry or irritated, but they won't feel things like fear. People with those psychopathy neural architecture cannot be motivated through pain, fear, or punishments though they can be motivated through rewards if it is framed in a way that makes rational sense.

In the clinical world, there is a strong coupling of psychopathy-the-neurological-architecture, and anti-social personality disorder, which is defined more along the lines of behavior rather than genetics or neuroscience. On Quora, there is a community of people with psychopathy that writes about their experiences, advocating for the decoupling of psychopathy and anti-social personality disorder -- and if you think about it, that kind of advocacy is very rational. It's not because they want people to understand them, but because the misunderstanding people makes dealing with non-psychopaths more inconvenient, and sometimes irritating.

One Quoran whose posts are a good starting point to read up on is Athena Walker. Reading Walker's posts and others like her's, is a great exercise in finding out just how much emotions and narrative you project onto the things you read. There are a lot of things we neurotypical people think is rational, but they are experienced through the lenses of emotions coupled together with social bonding and shared narratives with other people.

Just as an example ... Years ago when I was just starting out in martial arts, I found myself in the company of combat veterans. None of them are psychopaths. One of them, a senior student, was talking about having to clean up a friend who killed himself. He shot himself in the head with a shotgun. When the senior student went to go clean up the house, he had scrape the pieces of brain and fragments of skull into the bag. I winced and made a face, and both my teacher and the senior student said: that isn't a person anymore; it's a corpse. They had read my face and knew what was going into my head. That I was feeling the mutilation of a living person, that the person is suffering and in pain, because _I_ am simulating that suffering an pain as if it were my brain and skull fragments blown out. And the disgust with flesh and blood.

This is pretty typical of how neurotypicals feel and think about death if they had not spent some time seriously examining their beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about death. At some recent point in my life, I realized I would not give up my empathy -- it isn't so much that it makes me human as it is a part of who I am, just as the lack of empathy is part of who Athena Walker is -- but I can have empathy and be rational about it too: that's a corpse, and someone suffered and tried to end that suffering.
Yes, I know.

It remains an answer to "what would such an attempt [to intentionally mislead consumers] look like, hypothetically?"
No idea about the latency guarantees or scheduling. I've mostly just read and summarized some of the overview docs, and there's been nothing written on scheduling or latency that I've found yet.

It looks like the isolation of different applications, and capability based security, is pretty baked in. There do seem to be some TBD parts, like right now just like on Android apps can either have access to all of /data or none of it, and fixing that is something they list that they want to do but haven't yet.
Back in 2002 I built an LFS on a 400 MHz HP desktop with 256MB of RAM. Took about eight hours. It was quite a learning experience, to see Linux's guts all put together. I highly recommend it to everyone :-) Don't use a 400 MHz machine tho...
So instead of having an ORM which I control, let’s bake it into the database instead? This seems like a really bad idea.
Thanks, this looks like a good way to interface with the browser APIs.

I found an example of a game created in it: https://deque.blog/2017/03/28/building-a-clojurescript-game-... ( Source: https://github.com/QuentinDuval/triboard/tree/master/src/clj... ) Seems fitting that it focuses on AI.
We mostly agree, see my last paragraph.

Further, "collecting" a group of scattered folks with common interests can be good even if their common interest isn't. E.g. I know that there are "cutting" and self-harm websites, and of course the practice of self-harm is awful, but those websites may be a way to reach people and help them.

As to what to regulate, I think that the anti-Holocaust denial laws in Europe make a more fraught case than anti-child pornography. Child pornography generally hurts kids even if it's not circulated.

Denying the Holocaust is stupid and offensive and upsetting to many, but it doesn't harm the speaker or the listener in the same way. I don't know, one way or another, whether these laws have led to "slippery slopes".
That would explain it. And, would be effective.

In the old days you'd need someone at both ends to make the change, though, and towers are normally unmanned. Which may explain why it lasted so long with the first transmission and was short in the second...maybe the station had someone standing by at the tower to make the change when/if Max returned. I dunno. Our tower was a good 30 minute drive from the station (which is common, I think...stations are usually centrally located, but the towers are out in the boonies a bit because of the need for cheap land and freedom to stand up a heckin' big tower).
Building Type Mode for Stories on iOS and Android
It may not be for Google phones but I fully believe the researcher is correct with the basis of the article. I have the Galaxy S8 (locked to a US Carrier) and updates are a shitshow. Extremely high impact vulnerabilities (such as BlueBorne) were patched over a 3 month period to the world. Interestingly enough you can't even fully blame the carriers because a lot of the time Samsung's own unlocked version gets updates last...
Thanks for that tidbit. It would be nice to be grandfathered in, I can see it being a huge PITA to ask millions of people for proof--which probably gives them even more sensitive data like a photo of an ID. I assume your privacy laws travel with you, so if you travel to/login from the US your privacy rights stay the same?
You must've done some benchmark tests, would it be possible to elaborate on a plethora of different test speeds? Insertions per second, queries per second, calculating sums, etc.
> Private industry has been very effective indeed at hooking millions of people on opiates. Meanwhile, where are all those new antibiotics?

I'm not sure what your point here is. Do you think pharmaceutical companies aren't trying to produce new antibiotics? Do you think there isn't any money in that? Because there most certainly is. It's just a hard problem, we've mined a lot of the low hanging fruit in the antibiotic space and squandered it on colds and farm animals.

> Market competition is an important element missing from government research, but commercial entities have their own pathologies.

I agree with this.

> I favor acknowledging that all markets are constructed, even supposedly "unregulated" ones. The trick is then to construct hybrid models incorporating marketplaces and informed by the limitations of both government and industry.

I'm not sure what you mean here by 'constructed'. Unregulated markets are genuinely not 'constructed', they are truly organic. That doesn't mean they are morally good, just that they aren't constructed.

I agree that hybrid models are desirable. I'm not sure what the right answer there is. My intuition about markets tells me that the best approach might be for the government to provide guaranteed cash prizes for drugs meeting certain criteria, rather than funding specific projects. That would allow the market to choose how best to meet those criteria, while still incentivizing the stuff the public wants incentivized. That being said, if you define metrics, they can get gamed, so figuring out how best to define those things is difficult and essential.
About this:

"And that’s clearly what the central banks wanted, what the Fed wanted. They wanted every investor to go way out on the risk branch and pension funds have done that and now the price, as your said, is right here in front of us"

When there is an excess of savings over investment, the price of money decreases. Many things can lead to turmoil in the world: war, depression, resource shortages, revolutions, demographics. Given a scenario where people and institutions are saving up money, and turmoil limits the investment opportunities, obviously, the interest rate has to go down. If there is too much supply, and not enough demand, for anything, you should expect the price to go down. And that is what happened. The price of money declined, because there was an excess of savings, and not many good investment opportunities.

When we say "risk increased" we also mean that the payoff from an investment shifted out to the future. In good times, you might think you will get your money back after 5 years, whereas now you (the generic investor) are aware you'll need to wait 20 years. And long-term thinking is an appropriate way to deal with a major recession. The organization that is best positioned to think long-term is the government, which is exactly why the government should be the entity that uses the surplus of savings during major recessions. A major recession is a good chance for the government to engage in long term bets, such as rebuilding the infrastructure.
Exactly. The article doesn't expand on this point but this is capable of charging multiple vehicles in motion. More charging points at stations, shopping centers, etc would still require people to stop and wait.
>Advertisers have succeeded for years and years using Billboard, Radio, TV, Newspaper, and magazines with very limited viewer demographics.

This is true, but product categories were also a lot more generic and "one-size-fits-all" as a result. What targeted advertizing allows is for stuff that isn't lowest-common-denominator to find its audience.

There are trade-offs, of course, and I think Facebook and modern Ad Tech's business models are based more on megalomania and hyper optimizing around bad metrics (an organizational grey-goo scenario) than actually helping services find their audience.
Isn't the same link being posted over and over already such a filter?
At the moment there are no plans. There were some attempts to design an "upgrade" that would make the funds recoverable while benefiting the platform, but they had dangerous side effects. A lot of people opposed a targeted recovery fork, for reasons including:

- It's not such a large amount that it's a systemic risk.

- The hack was arguably enabled by negligence; the contract was changed after its last security audit, hacked, changed again and still didn't get a new security audit, and only after that the funds were frozen. Strong incentives to be more careful are probably good. Forking every time somebody's negligent could get messy.

- The DAO hack involve an attack that was new to most people in the community, and even the tutorial code on ethereum.org was vulnerable to similar hacks. These hacks were more in the nature of simple oversights, enabled by overly complicated code. Good auditors would probably have found them.

- The largest loss of funds was to the entity that made the contract (or a related entity anyway). That entity also said they had plenty of other money for their project.

- Most of the remaining losses were to ICOs, who should have gotten competent advice to avoid this contract (given the first hack and lack of audit), and who've demonstrated fundraising ability so could conceivably get bailed out by their own investors.

- Despite heavy criticism from certain quarters about Ethereum's supposed lack of immutability (after the DAO hack), immutability actually is a strong community value. Some people supported the DAO fix on the grounds that it was early days, but feel that the network is more mature now.

Facebook Told to Stop Deleting German User’s Immigrant Comment
Reprising my comment from a few weeks ago:

Facebook never gave me anything of value in exchange for constantly monitoring and profilingmy behavior online. in fact, as it became ubiquitous,it added a new chore for me: maintaining ever changing privacy options on a defensive profile on their network.

So it takes peoples time, attention, and details on top of behavioral monitoring.

In contrast, Google provides me with a very competent productivity suite, a superb photo-managing software navigation, maps, aggregate traffic data,and a host of tools to actually build a business and educate myself and others.

Plus i get enterprise class security for my account and -arguably- the best web email service.

The day theres a data breach or in this case a breach of trust, im more likely to view google in a better light and give them the benefit of the doubt. Facebook gets my contempt and scorn.

>Inb4 "well then don't use Facebook":
I don't. But that doesn't stop FB from building a shadow profile on me, so if I want some measure of control over my digital footprint, I have no choice or recourse but to open and maintain a defensive profile whose only purposes are
a) claim my username / URL used on most services where I'm provided with such a srfvixe, b) "squat" my name and likeness so I can't be unknowingly impersonated on their network and c) keep up with their ever changing privacy controls

>Inb4 "sounds like cringe material from Google's social team":
-I don't work for Google. I admit I'd love to, but I'm too old, perhaps. OTOH, I don't see how it's "cringe" since I succinctly describe the services the company does provide for me in exchange for my data and observing my behaviour; services I've used in making a living lately. Try making a living by developing on the FB platform, where every API Iteration makes you re-evaluate your business model.
"Databases have always been and will always be the defining piece of any technological stack".

Sorry, I don't see this as true.
Databases are no more "defining" of a tech stack than any other part, comms, security, ui, business logic, etc.

You only see it as "defining" if the database is your product. In most cases, the business logic is the defining part of the system, all parts of the tech stack should be replaceable.

Clojure, Groovy, JRuby, Jython are popular dynamic languages on the JVM, there are others:

Not sure where you've got that from or what that's supposed to mean.
I came into a position where my first job was to make a certain process scalable. The code had all of the smells of bad design - huge monolithic classes, in a huge monolithic solution with unrelated projects. The less mature me would have said this crap needs to be rewritten. Now I would like to consider myself more practical:

1. Form the monolithic repo and start taking out unneeded projects and classes and recompiling often.

2. Encapsulate the entire executable in a Docker container

3. Use AWS’s ECS, Fargate, and Autoscaling.

Now we have scalability.

For maintainability, every time you touch a part of the code, extract the functionality into a lambda microserve.

The code that never changes, doesn’t need to be touched and you slowly start decreasing the size of the monolith and it’s easier to find bottlenecks and make changes without affecting other parts of the code. Replace “lambda expressions” with microservices/separate modules etc as appropriate for your use case.

It's interacting with Canadian citizenship and being paid by Canadian companies for advertising.

If it's literally doing no operations inside of Canada then they have nothing to worry about because Canada couldn't do anything to them.

Its pretty hypocritical of companies to rely on local laws to protect them but then act like all their customers on the internet don't exist in any real space and aren't under a nation states juridisction.

I'd prefer a completely free internet, but you don't get to have it both ways
The difference is that the frequencies required for wireless charging are typically much lower if the coupling is magnetic.

The 'wireless' form in the article is more akin to what a trolleybus would use and likely would not survive for long in the presence of either a large amount of traffic (more demand than the rail could handle, imagine a traffic jam) or arcing as well as danger to the public (think subway third rail).

I do not think this concept will survive in the long term.
FDA Gives First Clearance for Autonomous Diagnosis of Medical Condition
Absolutely. I did Duolingo Spanish (although I a) was fluent-ish in French, and b) had taken a Spanish course at University.) I can say without a doubt that I learned a ton (via Duolingo) and a trip to Cuba made it very obvious.

I am far from fluent, but I could get by in nearly all situations.

I'm learning Swedish now, and it's getting to the point where new languages are easier and easier to pick up. My partner is further than me, and knows a shocking amount of Swedish just from the Duolingo app.
This is super cool! I really enjoyed the animations in your writeup as well. Thanks for sharing!
"EdgeDB is based on PostgreSQL, and inherits all of its strengths: reliability, ACID compliance, and performance."

So, basically PostgreSQL with a different query language. Can't figure out what problem this is trying to solve.
Honestly, I found after growing up programming with lots of restrictions, I developed lots of bad habits. I slowly developed a closed mind for "newfangled libraries," IDEs, and similar. I didn't learn to value computationally expensive things like internal consistency checks or logging. Eventually, and in part thanks to reading HN, I stepped out of that mindset of scarcity. Instead of trying to do things with limited resources, I now find it more worthwhile to find what resources exist and leverage them.

Also, maybe creativity isn't the same as being a good programmer. Creativity may get you out of a bind or into a new area, but I think being a good programmer is founded on many mundane characteristics, such as consistency and ability to conform to others.
In this particular case, the whole thing is probably more complicated than what it seems: it's not entirely clear that Google chooses to is another matter.

As a reference: "The Digital Disruption - Connectivity and the Diffusion of Power" by Eric Schmidt & Jared Cohen [http://archive.is/R13l2]

In the past people interpreted the article as "US companies control a large proportion of the internet infrastructure, the government can use this as a foreign policy tool". If you're a foreigner this may not sound cool..

It is natural for a company that maintains complex and entrenched relationships with a government, to influence and being influenced, at home and abroad.
In some typical app, you have relational data with SQL on top of them, with ORM model on top of that, with some <Orm>QL on top of that, and your typical <Orm>QL query is transformed to SQL using ORM model. It is all some complexity. Having just object model and some object query language is a great simplification.
